Subsequently Berlenbach lost the
title to Jack Delaney, present cham
pion.
Humbert Fugazy, promoting rival of
Tex .Rickard, hold Berlenbach's agree
ment for fight with Tommy Lough-

no plans for an indoor match himself.
The commission declined to add the
names of Meyer Cohen of Holyoke,
Mass, and George Fifield, Canadian
champion to the list of participants

ment to select a challenger for Pete

DEMPSEY WILL

NEWARK, N j., Dec. II R.-Gene

too powerful puncher for Jack
Delaney, worlds light heavyweight
champion, who has been reported as
seeking match with the man de-
throned by the ex-marine.
Delaney, as a great fighter, has
everything, but he is not big
enough" Tunney is quoted in the

Dempsey would hit him once

agent ever read the list of knock
outs compiled by that fellow Demp-
sey. Boy and man, that Dempsey
can hit!
'Would I take Delaney? Certainly,

if he ever fought Dempsey again he
ought to drop Jack.

BOXING MATCH
AT MAJESTIC
DECEMBER 2S

A boxing program between the men
of the 25th infantry, Camp Harry j.
Jones. and the 10th cavalry from Fort
Huachuca, originally scheduled to take
place December is, will be held in the
Majectfce theatre December 2S, accord
ing to announcement made Friday. The
program will include 80 rounds of box
ing and battle royal between three
soldiers from each military organiza-
ton.
The main event of the program will
be a 1O-round affair between Johnnie
Wilson of the 10th cavalry and Chick
Anderson Of the 25th infantry. These
boys are heavyweights and a vicious
slugging match is expected when they
clash.
There is considerable interest already
in the semi-final event between Tommy
Ell1s of Douglas and Tiger Richardson
of Fort Huachuca, both welters. Rich
ardson has the edge in experience and
is recognized as a cool, hard hitting
fighter, but EIks has youth and speed
that is expected to offset Richardson's
greater experience.
Considerable action may be expected
in the six-round special event between
"Knockout'' Copeland of the 10th cav
airy and "Knockout'' Curley of Cali
fornia. Both boys carry the nickname
of Knockout because of their ring
records and both top the beam at 1856
pounds, the lightweight limit, The
curtain raiser will be a a four-round
contest between Kid Riggs and Bat
tling Sikh, featherweights. The battle
royal will continue until only one man
remains on his feet, and will be staged
by men who have met before and are
anxious to meet again.
The program has been arranged by
Capt " w. Wales, officer in charge
of boxing at Fort Huachuca, and Ser
geant r. Harvey, representing Captain
Wales, is in Douglas arranging final
details of the match. The general ad-
mission will be one dollar, with ring
side. seats $3.50, and the first bout will
begin at p. m.

said TT cost us $4,000 to win the

Flowers $65,000 if he lost. Now that

dc some of the debating ourselves.
Meanwhile, Walker expects to en-
gage some less dangerous opponents
and will invade the Pacific coast
after the first of the year for two
or three contests, returning to Chi
cago to box in February.
Kearns favors Chicago as the
battle ground for the return match
with Flowers, with Promoter Jim
Mullen staging it in the Cubs BAH

larged to seat 10000.

Getting the Breaks

The breaks, by the way, are a
most important factor in determining
success or failure on the ball field.
1 have known pitchers to have a
low earned run average and yet win
less than half as many ball games
as some other member of the staff
who wasn't nearly so effective.
Every year some pitcher is the
jinx of the staff. AS a matter of
fact, certain pitchers appear to
annually play that role. t
When they pitch, the club doesn't
hit. In pinch, some teammate
invariably boots away the contest.
Game after game goes into the lost
column despite the excellence of the
pitching.
The same holds good for certain
batters. No matter how hard they
hit the bail, it won't go safe, while
the opposition finds it difficult to
retire other batsmen with not nearly
so much ability.
There you have three reasons for
success and failure on the ball field.
Take your choice

Matter al Condition

Then there is the matter of physical
condition. Oftimes, a player idling
away the winter puts on anywhere
from 15 to 25 pounds of excess weight.
He is hog-fat, to use much-used
baseball term.
Perhaps it is a cold spring and
he, is slow in pounding into shape.
have known pitchers not to Yget
down to playing weight until late
July and naturally their work suffers.
Take the case of Joe Shaute. of
Cleveland, for instance. In 1925, Joe
was very heavy, the extra few inches
around the waistline retarded the
freedom of his pitching. He worked
under a handicap.
One year later, Joe reported in
the "proverbial pink" and was at
least 80 per- cent more efficient,
although he got none of the best
of the breaks

Varying success


How do you explain the wide
difference that very 'often exists
in the work of some star player
over a period Of two successive
years?"
That was the question one of those
analytical fans slipped me the other
day.
Then, to be more specific, he
named certain big league pitcher,
several of them, in fact, who almost
doubled their victories of this year
over last.
He also called my attention to five
batters who jumped their average
from 40 to 75 points and pointed out
five others who had slumped CORE
spondingly.
Baseball is such an uncertain sport
with so many ifs and ands scattered
through it, that it is rather hard
OF define the exact reason for the
varying success of the athletes.

of Mrs. Hubert's friends were driv-

| have followed him over and smashed
| into the side of the Hubert car. The
Ford then spun around and went into
! a plowed field, and started back at
| the Hubert car, this time coming
! backward.
One of the three men in the Ford
| then got out and a moment later was
| knocked down and run over as the
driver attempted to make a getaway

! front axle was bent badly, and the

gathered for few moments, both

scene ten minutes after they received

found at The Willows, and brought
him to Augusta to go into court to-

him today.
An employee OF the State garage
stated to the officers last night that
he had followed tHe Ford driven by
the Damrens for more than three
miles, and that it was "all over the

nection with the affair occurred when
the man who was arrested caught

man under arrest, and added, Hes
