pionship match between Paul Berlen-
bach of Astoria, n. Y, and Jack De-
laney of Bridgeport, Conn.,, last night

approximately s54,136, or 3712 per
cent.
Delaney's purse. 12k per cent.
amounted to slightly more than

Although the challenger main
tanned today he had outpointed Ber-
lenbach and should have received the
decision, he shook hands cordially
with the champion when they ap-

response: II will be glad to accom-

Purdy should have awarded him the
title in the fourth round because
Berlenbach, he said, disqualified him
self under an ancient rule of pugilism
by falling to the canvas without be-
ing struck.
Purdy, however, believed Berlen-
bach was dazed and did not inten.
tionally violate any rule.
