BERLENBACH PLANS
SPEEDY COMEBACK

NEW YORK, March 15.-Unmarked d
and undiscouraged by his four-round
knockout at the hands of Jack De-
laney in Madison Square Garden last
night, Paul Berlenbach, New York
middleweight. announced today plans
for a come back, and issued chai-
lenge to Delaney for a return match.
Far from viewing his setback after
he had run up a spectacular string
Of twenty-three knockouts, as fatal
to his future. Berlenbach and his
veteran mentor, Dan Hickey, declared
they believed the defeat would give
renewed stimulus to the former ANA
teurs ring career.
However, Delaneys decisive VIC
tory, gained after a spectacular fight
and before record-breaking Garden
crowd whose enthusiasm has not
been matched since the historic Fir
po-Dempsey encounter has convinced
Hickey that his protege needs much
seasoning before tackling top-notch
opposition.
All plans for a match carly in the
summer between Berlenbach and
Harry Greb, holder IF the middle
weight title. have been abandoned
Tor the present, but Hickey hopes to
have bis charge prepared in a few
months for return bout with his
conqueror of last night.
With Berlenbach shelved. tempo
rarily. at least. as headline attrac-
ton, Delaney is now in unusual de-
mand. He signedan agreement early
today To replace Berlenbach as an
opponent for Jackie Clarke of Allen
town, Pa, in twelve rounds at New
ark. n. j., next Monday, night
He may also replace Berlenbach in
negotiations for an outdoor middle
weight title bout with Greb.

Take the American League. In the
western half the righthanders pre-
81 Cleveland and Schliebner of St.
Louis all are righthanders. Blue of
Detroit alone holds up the end Of the
ietthanders in the west. In the east
Yanks. Judge of Washington and

hhnders. while Boston, which prob
ably will use Harris at first. has the
orly righthander
IN the National Lea que the western

icy Of st. Louis, Grimm of Pittsburgh
and Dauhert Of Cincinnati. Grimes of
Chicago is the only Highlander. In
the east McInnis of Boston, Kelly of
New York and Fournier of Brooklyn
are riEht-handed. The only portsider
Is Holke OF Philadelphia.
Blue Is One of the Best.
IT the American League managers
were called upon to vote in secret
jor the best first haseman OF their

Maybe all the lefthanders would rate
above the righthanders. Fred Clarke,
the old Pittsburgh manager. who has
been down south reYiYing old memo
ries by looking over ball players, says
Hauser is in for a great year. And
Clarke does not waste praise on play
ers who don't deserve il.

Jean League, you will never convince
Iris Speaker that his Indians haven't

never ceased to regret that he let
Turns go to Boston, and he's glad 10
have him back.
Z and poll the managers and again it
rs a lefthander, Bottomley, who
probably would win. Almost a
stranger two years ago, Bottomley
today, is one of the most highly
choice in the National probably would
fall to either Grimm or kelly-a left
handler and a righthander. Grimm
probably has Il shade on Kelly be-
cause he is quick and because he
hit better last year.
YOunEsfer Had Rapid Rise.
Grimm once was a bat boy in st.
Louis. Never had a minutes train
ing in his life TO play first. Neither
- did Bottomley. Yet both found their
way into the majors.
If you take into consideration the
teams that are presumed to be in the
running for the championships, you
will find the American headed by
Pipp of the Yanks and Blue of
Detroit, both lefthanders. In the Ma
tional, Kelly of the Giants, right
Cincinnati and Grimm OF Pittsburgh,
both lefthanders.
Sizing it all up, it appears that a
left handed first baseman is prefer
able to a Highlander. But Kelly is
a shining proof of the fact that a
left handed first baseman is not, as
some managers seem to think, an
absolute necessity for winning club.
Right-handed first basemen have been
on winning teams more frequently
than left-handed ones, and the right
handed Kelly outplayed the seft-
handed .Pipp in two world series.
