10.-tBy The Associated Press. y
Paul Ber1enbach easily beat back the
challenge of w. l.. (Young) Stribling
for the worlds light heavyweight
title tonight, battering the young
Georgian into decisive defeat in a
1o-round match that fell far from
the spectacular heights expected of
it.
A crowd Of $4,000 spectators saw
the bronzed, rugged champion give
Stribling an unmerciful pounding al
most from start to finish, forcing the
battle in nearly every round and pill
ing up a margin on points that made
the judges decision at the finish a
mere formality.
Stribling, fashy and confident by
comparison with Berlenbachs slow
maneuvering at the start. got away
impressively in the first three
rounds, but a smashing left hook.
planted just over the heart, brought
him up short in the fourth round.
That punch, abruptly checking a
headlong rush by the Georgian, real
ly was the deciding factor as we'll
as the turning point. After it Strib-
ling seemed bereft of his usual speed
and agility. He was mark for Ber-
lenbach's pile-driving rights and
lefts to the body mixed with hooks
to the head that had the southern
youth groggy in at least four of the
closing rounds, the sixth, 10th, 18th
and 18th.
Fighting on the defensive for the
last 10 rounds except for one fash
ing rally in the ninth, Stribling re-
fad 10 a &c xvi
to stave off Berlenbach's steady
rushes and furnishing blows.
The Georgian clinched. held, push
ed and showed the champion about
in his efforts to block Berlenbach's
blows or save himself from a knock
out. The title holder. himself a for
mer amateur wrestling champion,
met Stribling's roughness with a
brand of his own that enabled him
to keep shooting at the Georgian's
chin and ribs.
!. The almost continual graphing in
which apparently all the holds in
the catch as catch can category were
used not only made the bout a big
disappointment to those who had
expected thrilling encounter, but
stirred the resentment of big bulk
of the fans who booed Striking
throughout the last half of the fight
and jeered him as he left the ring.
Berlenbach tried hard to score a
knockout. He had Stribling in full
retreat good share of the time and
connected solidly on occasion but
not sufficiently to put the Georgian
down.
Round One-Stribling landed the
first punch, light right to the chin.
Berlenbach countered with a weak
left to the body. They danced
around cautiously. e., Berlenbach rip

at close quarters. Berlenbach missed
a left lead and took Stribling's right

lenbach scored to the body with his
left. A glancing right bounced off
Berlenpachs head but it only mussed
