BERLENBACH SEEN
AS BEING ON ROPES

NEW YORK. March 23.-Among
insiders, where tips run pretty true
to form. the report Is going the rounds
that Paul Berlenbach is about ready
to be punched into retirement. They
say that he is punch drunk and that
he is not In any way the man he
was even six months ago.
One of his most important rivals
remarked that Paul was no longer to
be feared by any good man who was
clever and could hit.
Berley, in the course of his bril-
liant career in the ring. has been an
easy target for any one to hit, but
he has won out--eXceept in the case

because Of his ability to take 1t, COM

and left hooks to the head.
1t Is feared that the lacing he got
in the Risko fight will work to put
the final clamps upon the light-heavy
champion.
So far as the writer is concerned,
he can see no reason to judge Ber-
lenbach upon his showing against
RiskO. a man who outweighed him
nearly 20 pounds and who was ex-
actly suited to cope with Berley's
style of milling.
Out in Cleveland some time ago
young Bob FitzsimmonS made a much
better showing against Risko than
Berley did, just because Bob was

against the Clevelander's wide swings.

MITCHELL LEARNS
HOW TO USE IRONS

By the Associ ated Press.
Abe Mitchell. Englands leading
hope for the recovery of the British
open championship this year, has so
improved his idon play during the last
Winter that he is enthusia stically
talking and writing about his dis
covery of secrets of style.
Mitchell had been unable to keep
his iron Shots from drifting to the
right of the greens. This, he SAYS
he found, was caused by square
stance. A remedy was found by acct
dent. "a lie which made me face well
round to the hole. instead of using
the square stance / had previously
employed" said Mitchell II dropped
my left foot back slightly and ad-
vanced the right.
THE difference between the two
stances was very little, but / felt the
change and knew it was what
needed. When l made the shot q
ball flew straight to the green, with
no sign of swerving either way. To
test the stance Immediately. dropped
another ball and tried the stance
again. The ball flew away, straight
for the pin, and from that day my
iron play has been good"

The Reds got to johnson for. n

MINES IN PHILIPPINES
LOSE THEIR TROPHIES

BY the Associated Press.
MONILA, March 22.-The resig-
nation of the Philippine Base ball
League as associate members of the
Philippine Amateur Athletic FEEDER
alton has been accepted.
The base ball league will become
professional.
The resignation was the result Of
charges that players had received

AS a result Of the Philippine base

base ball trophies won at the Olympic
games last May by the Philippines

Last year Ruether went into 40
games for the Nationals and worked
we'll enough to establish q record of
18 victories against defeats. He
was especially effective> the first two
months of the season, but in July he
fell into fearful slump. in which he
sustained the bulk Of his losses. He
recovered his pitching form in August.
however and retained it until the sec
ond successive league championship
had been clinched by Washington.
Seemingly after that Ruether lost
his cunning for the second time in the
season, for he was not used against
the Pirates in the world series. al
though he ranked third in winning
percentage of the pitchers of the Har-
risnlen. But in training here this
Spring the Dutchman appears to be
in fine fettle, at least in excellent
physical trim. His arm seems to be
strong, for he has done deal of toll
ing in the morning drills.
Start Frequently Postponed.
Ruether, though. has asked several
times that his 1925 mound debut be
postponed, evidently fearful that he
was not in quite good enough COndi-
tion for a fair test. He first was slated
to hurl against the Phillies last Fri
day. then against the Giants Saturday.
The Dutchman did not regard himself
as qualified for a trial either time.
and Manager Harris had about decided
to send the southpaw against the Reds
yesterday. Again Ruether requested a
postponement of his start and Bucky
agreed, but told the slabman that he
must be ready to take a turn in the
first of the two games scheduled with
the Brooklyn band this week.
Harris is more than eager to
ascertain what may be expected of
Ruether this year. While Johnson
and Stanley Coveleskie probably may
be depended upon to register a re-
spectacle total of victories. the Ma
tionals may have to look to Ruether
and Bush for most of the other sue
cesses to keep the club in the thick
of the fight for the flag.
Bush in his tlree-inning start
against the Giants indicates that he
needs more preparation, considerably
more. before he will be ready to as
sumo his part of the task of helping
the Nationals to a third successive
pennant.
