round of their scheduled twelve
round bout. -
Berlenbach with a record of
twenty-six consecutive knockouts
in his last twenty-six starts was
the overwhelming favorite, but the
Yorkville mauler at no time ever
showed to advantage.
In the third round Delaney sent
Berlenbach to the floor with a
terrific smash to the jaw and it was
right there and then that the battle
was as good as decided.
Coming back for the fourth De.

Berlenbach rose dizzily to his feet

Terminal Ice Cracks
Roll BaltiInoreans
at King-Pin

The Terminal Ice Company's'
crack duckpinners, captained by
John Blick, will shoot five
games at the King-Pin tonight
with the Regent All-Stars,. of
Baltimore, finishing a ten-game
series.
In five games rolled at the
Regent in Baltimore, the Ice
men picked up an advantage of
ninety-one pins, which virtually
assures them of final victory.
Tonight's match will start at.
8 o'clock. Two alleys will be
covered if necessary to accom-
modate spectators. On the Ter
minal team are four bowlers Sc
lected for Washington's all-city
squad. They are Max Rosen-
berg, Joe Toomey, Howard
Campbell and Nick Chaconas.
Harry Mccarthy, also a star of
the first class, is the fifth
member.

Max RoSENaeRc this despite the
fact that Makes average in any
league competition is only Ill. Half
a dozen Washington bowlers are
beating this mark.
But there aren't half dozen
bowlers in this town who would
care to stake much on an Individual
match with the all-city teams an
Choir. He is at his best in head-to-
head rolling, where the action is
fast. And the greater the strain,
the greater is Make. He has
plenty of courage.
Rosenberg is a member Of the
Curb Cafe team in the District
League. His best league perform
ance resulted in a 392-set with q
high game of 1862.
These marks fail to approach
some Of those he has achieved in
Independent matches. For instance,
he rolled one game of 179 and three
for a total Of 434, in individual cQm-
petition at the Recreation. In a
nine-galne series with Pappy Pratt
on the same runways he averaged q
trifle over 100. So did Pappy, who
won the match by a few pins mar
gin. .p..

NEW'ORLEANS, March 15.-"The
New York Yanls will win the 1924
American League pennant. Detroit
win finish second and Cleveland
will come third"
Miller Higgins, manager Of the
Yankees, who boasts Of never hav.

before, is out with this prediction.
Cleveland looks better than De.
troit for second place until you
come to pitching, and there the
Tigers have the edge"
Even II George Sisler is able to
return to first base and play the
position he once did, Higgins thinks
very little Of the chances Of the st.
Louis Browns because Of the weak.
ness at third base. He figures they
might land fourth.

At bat so far, Sisler has been
hitting all sorts of pitching toNall
portions Of the field for an un.

orders to the pitchers have been to
put their best spring training stuff
on the balls they throw up to him,

The result is that the star Of 1922

in a new world indoor record time
Of 4:01 3-5.
OF the many events down for de-
cision, the 1,6O0-meter relay for the
championship Of Catholic colleges
attracted the most attention. But
four teams were entered, namely,
Georgetown, Notre Dame, Holy
Cross and Boston College.
Georgetown's runners led until
the last lap, when Joe Tierney, OF
Holy Cross, caught Herlihy and
drew away to win by comfortable
margin. Notre Dame was second
and Boston College fourth.
