% KnOckOuts

New York. March Paul Bcr-
lenbaCh, New Iork's middleweiglft
knockout king and reigning sensa--
ton of the indoor fistic season, has
had one of the most remarkable ca
reers on record. Thrust into the
limelight with II record of - con-
secutive knockouts in amateur and
professional ranks. critics predict
that he is only on the Threshold OF
a great ring career and hail him ny
second Stanley EctChel. n terror
I'm middleweight ranks 10 years and
more ago.
Berlenbach was born n deaf mute
and an amazing story liz told OF how,
at the age of Is he suddenly ac-
quired hearing and speech. FiSp
years ago. while serving as an in~
struCtor in a Wcstchester county
institution for deaf mutes. Barlcn-
bach one day went 10 the aid of a.
youth whose kite became cntangIcd
in an electric wire II feet from THE
ground. Climbing n pole. Barlen-
bach released the kite but in so do
ing. came in contact with the heaN-
lily charged wire. lie fell to the
ground unconscious and those who
came to his aid believed him dead.
First aid. however. revived him.
and TO his establishment, he found
his sense of hearing normal Medi-
cal interest was attracted and SUBJ
sequent treatment also developed his
speech.
Berlenhach's rice TO pugilistic
fame within less than year has
been spectacular and all the more
remarkable because he Is one of the
few former wrestlers to acquire fistic
prowess.

Major League Pilots
Against Golf Game
Yanks Still Dickering

New York March 4 - Manager
John McGraw of the Giants signal
lied his arrival at the Sarasota camp
yesterday by banning golf as ball
players pastime. Signs of n general
campaign against the royal game by
maj or league managers is evidenced
by a similar edict issued by Ty Cobb
and reports that Manager Robinson
of Brooklyn is contemplating follow
ing the precedent.
The general theory upon which the
action is based is said to be an opin-
ion that attention cannot be given to
both sports without a leSSening of
interest in the main game of base
ball.
Both McGraw and Huggins. lead
ers of the champions of the two
leagues. held conferences with hold
outs who are working without con-
tracts. McGraw stated that he cX-
pected to bring his dilatory ones into
line without much trouble. Pep
Young. who arrived yesterday. is the
most important of the unsigned.
Higgins has a more serious prob
lem. Seven regulars and the most
promising recruit are dickering.
Aaron Ward and Bob Shawkey have
received permission from the Yankee
owners to join the camp and talk
matters over with Huggins. Wallic
Pipp, Sam Jones and Whitley Witt
are still dickcring with club officials
although it is thought that they have
practically come to terms. PennOck
is the most pronounced holdout of
the group and threatens to quit the
game unless his terms are met. Signs
of a deadlock are strong in his case.
Business Manager Barrow of the
champions could not get in touch
with Bob Meusel yesterday to learn
the extent of his reported injuries.
If Meusel is delayed in reaching
camp the status of Earl Combs. Lou
isville recruit who is demanding n
part of his purchase price, will he
more important and it is thought
that a settlement OF his case would
be hurried.
Five new arrivals were in Robin
uniforms yesterday. Zach Wheat
celebrated his entrance by making
three hits in practice battle.

The plans as laid now are to play

hall is an ideal place for such a con-
test and If all of the y. NJ. c. A.
teams in the state compete there is
no doubt that the contests will be
held in that hall.
Two beautiful trophies will be pre-
sented to the winners, one for the
junior division and one for the sem
ior division. James Fitzgerald post.
No. ., American Legion. has voted
to provide the trophy for the senior

"Y" Champs Play
Picked Team Thurs.
BANQUET Next Mon.

Two events of interest to basket
ball fans and to the players OF the
y. NJ c. A. City Basketball League.
will wind up the season for the
league with n bang. The first of
these events takes place tomorrow.
(Thursday). night when the I'M
defeated Y. NJ. c. A. team. winners
in the league, take on a picked team
composed of the best players in the
entire league. This will give the
Y. NJ. c. A. boys some exercise such
as they have not before had. and
they will do well to come through
as winners in this game.
The boys who will make up the
picked team are: c. Prime of Wick
cry and Hill. r. Thyng of American
Legion and l.. Beaudoin of the Calu-
met Club; center, V. Soule OF the
American Legion; guards. c.. Hall.

by vote of a committee consisting of
the manager or captain of each team
in the league.
The second important event. and
the final one for the season. Is the
banquet for the members of the
teams which will be held at Assem-
bly,. hall on Monday evening at $50.
Indications are that every member or
the league will be present for the
supper. At this time the victorious
Y. NJ. C. A. team will be presented
with the fine silver cup which they
have won this year.
The league has been going strong
since the middle of December and
each Thursday evening has been a
brace of fast well contested and in
teresting games. The board of dir
ectors feels that a banquet will be an
appropriate ending for the league
season.
