son records in training camp games,

in predicting that his team would gar

In the National League, which. in
cIdentally, is celebrating its golden
anniversary, the New York Giants.
the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Brook

In only one of his previous title
tights has McTigue boxed to an official
verdict. This match was with Young
Stribling in Georgia, when, under pro
test, McTigue entered the ring for a
contest which ended in a riotous scene
as Referee Harry Ertle adjudged the
contest a draw.
= McTigue had claimed an injured
hand in calling for a postponement,
but his request was not granted, and
he returned to New York with diScol-
Ored eyes and a bandaged left hand,
charging he had been forced into the
ring at the point of a gun.
Prior to this match McTigue re
Ceived newspaper decision over the
Philadelphian, Tommy Loughran, in
eight rounds at West New York, n. j.,
and in March, 1924, he lost a news
paper decision to Stribling in a return
fight at Newark, N. J.
Last year the champion knoced out
Frank Carpenter at Providence, r. l.,
in six rounds and Johnny King at
Atlanta, Ga, in four rounds.
His only bout thus far this year
was with the welterweight champion,
Mickey Walker, at Newark, and Nc
Tigue lost a newspaper verdict.
After posting a sensational string of
% knockouts, Berlenbach was floored
for the 10-count by Jack Delaney in
fNarch, 1924, but two weeks later
staged a comeback by stopping Harry
Krohn of Akron, Ohio, in the fourth
round.
Berlenbach continued to knock over
his foes until he ran into Augie Rat
ner, who held him to an eight-round
draw last July. A month later he
boxed TO even terms with Young
StriblinS in a siX-round match.
Since then Berlenbach has stopped
Jack Reddick, Tommy Burns, Larry
Estridge. Rocky Smith, Frankie Nc
Guire and Battling Sikh.
His triumph over Sikh, the man from
whom McTigue won rhe title, was a
technical knockout, the fight being
stopped in the ninth round to save the
SenegaIese from further punishment.
