SLATTERY'S VICTORY
BLOW TO STRIBLINGS

BUFFALO, y. y, February 26.-
The decision OF Jimmy Siattery of
Buffalo over Young Stribiing in their
six-round bout hero last night caused
gloom in the Stribling camp, although
neither the young boxer nor 'Pa"
Stribling had anything TO say about
the reverse.
Ma Stribling was aghast at the
verdict, thought "the boy had won"
and was not hesitant in declaring her
opinion
The consistent attack of s .ttery
in the six rounds Won much favorable
comment. Only once, in the third
round, did he linger. Stribling's de-
fense. however, was very good and he
did not fafter until the last round
The southerner permitted the Buff
falo boy 10 lead almost constantly
and did his effective punching in
Countering.
Slattery last night, too. stood up
against the severest body punching
he has ever encountered.
The crowd was the largest that
ever attended q boxing match here.

Berlin Is Bicycle City

Berlin is now the leading bicycle

Copenhagen as the town with the great
est percentage Of cycle users. Every
morning and evening the streets lead
ing from the suburbs to the business
center Of the German capital are filled
with hand workers, clerks and bust
ness men who have found that bicycles
are cheaper and more dependable than
the street cars and the elevated and
underground railways. The enormous
increases in carfare, coupled with
drastic cuts in the service. have caused
thousands Of middle-aged residents Of
greater Berlin and nearby cities to ran
sack their garrets or cellars for the
discarded cycles Of their youthful days,
either for their own personal use or
for the purpose Of selling them to
eager buyers Of secondhand wheels at
from $40 to $40 apiece. Makers Of
bicycles are reaping a harvest filing
the demand for their output at prices
ranging from $50 to $40.
