STRlBLING MAY FIND
RISKO A RING TARTAR

NEW YORK. May 13.--Young Strib-
ling, the transcontinental tourist,
will daily long enough in New York
to keep Il return Cagement with
Johnny Risko on Friday night at the
Madison Square Garden.
The two met previously before Risko
vas a celebrity. and they do say that
he warmed the Georgtan's ribs for him
plenty.
Since then his bouts against Paul
Befenbach and Jack Delaney have
brought him fame. He it was who
convinced both the light-heavies that
their hopes of going up higher We're
vain.
AS for Stribling he did not show
much against Jimmy Slattery-that
is. not much in tho way of clean
fighting. But he did show plenty Of
back handing, showing and general
mauling. Strib did not make much
OF a hit with the fans that night, and
is likely to find Rtsko more popular
than he.
Risko deserves many Of the nice
things that have been said about him
since his appearance in New York
against Berienbach and Delaney. He
IS but short time removed from
the amateur ranks, crude in a way,
but above all else q willing fighter.
He has sense enough TO tuck his
chin into the projecting hump OF his
shoulders while he fails away with
both hands.
And he sure does hurt when he lays
'em in. ASK Berienbach. StriblinG
no doubt figures to travel along at
top speed for the 10 rounds. lie
cannot afford to fight his heavier op-
ponent. For punches do not have
much effect on the rubber man from
Cleveland
Risko will wade in trying to get the
Georgian to stand still long enough
TO trade wallops with him. but he will
have no success: Strib knows too
much for that. He has an engage
ment TO fight Berlenbach in June
for the light-heavy crown. and he
certainly is not going to take any
chances Of getting his head knocked
of or his ribs caved in before that
time.
No, what he will do will be to let
out on his fast steppers and pop away
to q victory on points.

The main thing in playing golf Is to

two things at a time. We have to
think of what we are doing if we are

is no different in this respect than
driving an automobile, carving a tur-
