Running More Than SIS, 900
Behind Quota in Aiding

By DAVIS j. Walsh.

NEW YORK. April 17.-For some
years the West has commended that
New York Is Tot q. part of the
United States.
It became apparent today that
the West might be right, at that,
following an official announcement
that the richest ana most populous
city in tho country was runnig
more than $4,000 behind its quota
toward the American Olympic fund.
1t is the only large American city
in which this condition obtains to
such a fragrant degree. San Fran
cisco, for example, subscribed it's
quota in the first week OF the
drive and may go after mere.
To date something less than
$4,000 has been raised In New
York, and the writer has been given
to understand that not q small parI
OF this sum has come from the
purses of private individuals wno

make the thing look good. There
has been nothing forthcoming to

BERLENBACH UP

Boxing Board Tells Novice He
Must Face Near
Champions.

NEW YORK. April 17.-"Paul
Berlenbach is being forced into the
toughest position Of any man in
pugilistic history" declares Dan
Hickey, his tutor and manager.
Here is a boy who never had a
boxing glove on his hand until a
year ago. He had been a profes.
sional for only six months and, so
far as experience is concerned, is
still an absolute novice.
He should be fighting, for an
other year or so, nothing but
ordinary ringmen until he acquires
the most vital thing ringman
must have-experience. Yet the
boxing officials say he couldn't
fight any more men for training
and experience purposes and must
light champions or near champions;
men, who through many years Of
battling, have acquired much in
generalship, in reSourcefulness and
ring craft,
"As long as that is the order of
things, that's what Paul Berlenbach
is going TO do even though his
"greeness" in ring antics is a
terrific handicap to him. I'll turn
him loose against any and ali
corners from now on and I fell Ger.

the world knows what a hitter he
was. Without trying to take any
glory from the immortal Fitz, r
