Any young journalist on interview
ing a heavyweight champion. wheth-
err in or out of season, is bound by
the rules of his craft to ask this
question:
''And my dear man. tell me who
gave you your hardest fight?''
And if the heavyweight champion
is gifted with the same amount of
originality that one customarily finds
in heavyweight champions, the in
variable answer will be:
"Hcllsbclls! All Of 'em were my
hardest fights" This to be follow
ed promptly by a hoarse. abdominal

champion has pulled what you might

Observation-Disclosures
Partnership Broken

New York, -Sebt: 4-lAP)-The
team Of Berlsnbach and Hickey, in
separable since 1923 when the vet
eran Dan picked "Oom" Paul from
the ranks Of wrestlers to pilot him
through amateur fights and into the
worlds light heavyweight champion
ship. has been dissolved.
Berlenbach has purchased for S4O,-
600 the seven year contract Hickey
held to manage the fighters affairs.
Berlenbach now will manage himself.
Rerlenbach blames the split on the
manifold duties Of Hickey that pre-
vented giving him undivided attcn-
tion.
Another version Of the matter, how
ever, credits Berlenback with believ-
ing that Hickey drove him into too
many fights.
Berlenbach's friends say he was
not in good condition when he lost
his lightweight title to Jack Delaney.
Berienbach Is believed to have
earned upwards Of e300.OOO in the
ring during his connection with

Out to che bitter end. for both towns

himself; of course, points out that he
learned to fight in Greenwich Vii
lage in the days when one had TO be
able to fight to get by.
Tunney has been three days in
Stroudsburg and the town is already
heavily pro-Tunney and fight mad.
Groups on street corners talk Of
fights. There never was a bigger
dub than Firpo and he hit him, didn't

Ill the customers must have imagined
we were playing some new sort Of
game. The papers the next day
said | had been knocked down seven
times in the first round. But ! can
remember being down at least nine
times myself"
Dempsey recalls that the next
three, rounds, did not differ much
from the first. Sudenbergs was in
there swinging and Dempsey was in
there falling.
Along about the fifth round SUDDEN
bcrg's strength left him. He had
fought himself out trying to keep
dempsey on the floor. Then Demp-
.sey began to get his second wind,
to say nothing Of a sense of balance
and . comparatively calm perspec-
tive.>,
From the fifth on he tore into
Sudcnberg with the same primitive
,savagcry that he brings to his pres
cnt-day fights and. while he was un-
able to register a knockout or even
square the balance in kn0ckd0wns
he did get the decision.
II took more punishment in that
fight than in any fight ever had,
Dempsey declares.

asked.
"Including Firpo, Willard and Car.
pentier all put together" he in
sisted.

Every student who works hard

Of diploma.
That is the rule laid down BY the

Occasionally, it seems, when there

however, that the board feels any
student should not be deprived Of
participation in the full ceremony be-
cause he didn't have company in fin

STECHER WILL
MEET LEWIS TO
SETTLE FEUD
Bout at Los Angeles Sept. 8
10 End Controversy Over
Championship

Chicago. Sept. a.-R)-A two-year
controversy over the heavyweight
wrestling championship will be set
tied by the match in Los Angeles
Sept. s between Joe Stcchcr, Nebraska
scissors king, and Ed stranger
Lewis. Of Kansas City.
In these two years. the eastern and
western wrestling "trusts" have wag-
ed war all over the country, with
Lewis as the chief figure Of the west
ern group and Stechcr the principal
drawing card of the eastern syndi
cate. The territorial division relate.
to their management only, as each
has toured the entire country.
Argument Two Years Old
Until two years ago. Lewis was
conceded "a clear deed to the title
When Wayne big" Mum threw
Lewis out Of the ring at Kansas City,
and Topped him again to win the
championship, the conflict Of claims
began.
Big Mum, an cx-Ncbraska foot
ball star. at once started on trium-
phal tour Of the country, meeting all
corners. Within a few months he en-
countercd Stanislaus Zbyszko ut
Philadelphia and was thrown twice
within fifteen minutes. Not long
after, Stecher conquered Zbyszko to
succeed to the crown.
The western trust" having appar-
emily lost its heavyweight title, then
set up charges that NUNS victory
over Lewis at Kansas City was con-
trary to the rules, as Lewis had been
thrown out Of the ring and Mum
should have been disqualified. Lewis
and Mum met at Michigan City to
settle the championship" and Lewis
won. thereby retaining his champion
ship belt.
The famous deadlock Of Lewis has
! so far crumplcd the resistance OF
every wrestler Lewis has faced, and
| the same is true Of Stecher's leg scis
sOrs.
