making good tnlS tlme Tn the naJor
 league. Yesterday in the game be-
 tween the Brooklyn Dodgers and
 the St. Louis Cardinals, Jake" was
 up four times and he crashed out
 two hits, triple and a double. The
 triple scored McWeeney and Few
 ster to give Brooklyn two run
 lead. His double went for nothing
 in the game. Besides his work at
 bat, he had three put outs in the
 field.
 Jacobson by his fine work both
 at bat and in the field, has become
 solid with Manager Wilbert Robin
 son and he has lived up to the
 promises he has made of making
 good.
 The greatest fight held in this
 century is the way they are term
 ing the Delaney Berlenbach fight tonight at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. A rugged, plodding type of fighter, the champion, against a master Of art, the challenger.
 We have strung all along with Delaney. In fact we can't see any thing else. We saw both men fight in Hartford, Berlenbach against Ray Neuman, punching bag and Delaney against King Solomon, tough and clever battler.
 Berlenbach in that meeting, seemed to us to be very slow. De- laney on the other hand, was so fast that it was with difficulty that one could see him land his punches.
 Delaney didn't put Solomon away, it is sure, but he gave him terrific beating and it was only through Solomon's cleverness, which most people at the bout failed to recognize, that he was able to keep away from that deadly right of Delaney's,
 IOIllSllb Nlii ttii ilp iAN' V has been so muck talk about the chances of Jack Delaney beating Berlenbach that fans shouldn't lose sight of the fact that Berlenbach is also liable to VII. Whether he wins or loses, it must be said that Berlenbach has been the best cham pion of the world has seen in many | years with only one exception, and | that has been Louis (Kid) Kaplan. | He has fought everyone selected | for him and has been afraid of no ! man.
 Meeting Delaney tonight, Berlen- bach reaches the heights of crown | holding because he will have met | them all one after the other. AL thoI. Ne expect and want De- laney to win, it is with touch of | regret that we think of Berlenbach losing his title. The Astoria boy has been a fighting champion, every inch of him, and to have the ring l SC such man from the pinnacle, | is q real loss to the fight game. Of | course, Berlcnbach will still be in tlv game.
 We just heard tn the weather is umfavorable for the fight tonight. If rain should stop the contest, it will be held tomorrow night instead.
  will attend the fight in Brooklyn to- night are Frank Arata, Peter Pero- <as and James Parsons. There are several others whose names could not be secured today.
 In the Herald office today pre- lictions are rife among all the help hat Delaney will win. Only two predicted that -Berlenbach would win rom the Bridgeport battler. If the fight is held tonight, the battle itself will determine the winner. If the fght is held tomorrow night, it will mean simply that there will be an- ,ther day of dope guessing.
 The fight will be announced to- light, if it is held, and if it Is post Poned until tomorrow night, 1t will ,e announced just the same. The |lain bout will start about 10 o'clock nd about that time will be the Eour set for the first news from he ringside.
 We would like to make an appeal b all car owners to use Church treet as little as possible tonight |ecause it's a tough proposition try hg to anounce against a buzzing of botors. We expect that the biggest rowd in years will be on hand for he fight news. Because of the Earcity of tickets in this city. there Ire many who will not be able to |e at the bout.
