M|DDLES WILL
FEATURE CARD
At BERWYN
italian Jack" Reno and
Bobby Marriott to Go
Twelve Rounds

With a good break in the weather
the Sportland Heights arena show
will be staged at the Berwyn battle
grounds tonight and should furnish
some top-notch boxing for the fans.
The twelve.round wind-up featuring
italian Jack" Reno with the
army's middleweight champion,
Bobby Marriott, of Camp Meade,
will show two of the best in the
class and should prove a thrilling
battle. Both of the big boys have
gone through a long siege of real
training, and reports from the
training quarters say that both are
ready and expect to win long before
the limit.
The semi-final of six rounds will
add quite a bit Of local color to the
card when Mike Uraine, the former
Fighting Cop" collides with the
hard.socking Tex stovall. Stovail
says he will treat Uraine roughly,
but the veteran Mike may show
Texie thing or two.
The special six-round bout will
trot out Johnny Conroy, of the Mo.
hawks, and the rugged John L.
Smith, who wants to get even with
Conroy, who beat him at a smoker
last winter.
The two four.round bouts will
show Young Toney against Dummy
Collins, Of Baltimore, and little
Jimmy Conroy, the third Mohawk
entry on the card, facing Eddie Col.
Inns, also of Baltimore.

ceeded to the championship honors
when the New Rochelle matron
abandoned the sport.
Ethelda Bleibtrey won Olympic
honors for Uncle Sam in 1920. Her
records have stood the test in such
stubborn manner that up to the
present she is conceded by all ex-
perts to be one of the greatest mer.
maids of all time.
Her desertion of amateur ranks
during the past year put the bur-
den of unfolding Uncle Sans
prestige on the shoulders of Ger
trude Ederle, q sweet miss of
eighteen years. The latter is the
product of the N. Y. w. 8. A.
She did not know how to take a
single stroke i'm the water until
she came under the tuteIage of
Coach Handley and his aides.
Her development has been one of
the most remarkable in the history
of athletics. She jumped from q
novice to the holder of ten worlds
records in less than three years.
Those who know her best are
counting upon her to take the 100
and 200 meters championship races
at the Olympic games in Paris in
July.
The tryouts on Saturday and Sum
day are going to bring the best
| talent to the races. Gertrude
Ederle will have to be at her best
| to uphold her honors against the
| fields that have been named to
start against her. Despite the fact
that she is the record holder of
1:12 is for the 100 meters, no less
than six rivals feel that they have
a chance against her.
Chief among these aspirants to
championship honors are Marie

to be the fastest mermaid in that
section of the world; Ethel Lackie,
of Chicago; Helen Wainwright,

of Indianapolis; Josephine McKim,
