IOWA CHAMP
WILL ARRIVE
ON TUESDAY
Dugan Still Holds Out For
Eight-round Scrap Next
Friday

Ralph Alexander, who Friday
signed to meet Jack McCann in q
1O-round fight here in Bismarck
Friday, Dec. Is, wired the sports
editor of The Bismarck Tribune to-
day that he would arrive in the Cap
ital City Tuesday, ready for several
public workouts before stepping
through the ropes for his Bismarck
debut with Leo P. Flynn's latest
protege.
The fight, which was originally
scheduled for Thursday, was post
poned to Friday when Alexander
sent a special wire to the local pro-
moters stating that it was his habit
to appear at least three days be-
fore every fight and that Friday
would be more to his liking.
The matter of semi-windup to
the McCann-Alexander ARRAY was
still in doubt as Jimmy Dugan held
out for an eight-round fight. The
latest fistic favorite of the Bis
marck fans claims that he has been
training for eight-round encounters
and he will go his best over that
route.
Rumors about the city today were
to the effect that Dugan's unnamed
opponent, if Dugan accepts the
match, will be Ralph McGirl, the
hard hitting Elgin middleweight
who has been knocking the boys
stiff in southwestern North Dakota
and northern South Dakota rings
during the past three months.
McGirl Is Ready
McGirl is ready for fight at
any time as he is a faithful trainer.
His appearance on the local card
will please the fans west of the Mis-
souri, who seem to think that he is
ordained to stop the triumphal
progress of Dugan.
The clever Capital City stripping
let it be known today that he would
fight over eight rounds or not at all
and that all negotiations would be
off unless the local promoters
agreed to that distance by Sunday.
Today it was learned that Man
dan will send two of her best fish
cutters into action next Friday
night. The promoters are unwill-
ing to announce definitely any Of
the names of the preliminary boys
until the contracts have been signed.
Duke Horn and Mike Mandell of
Minneapolis are anxious to meet
the winner of the McCann- Alexan-
der mix and there is every POSSIBLE
ity that such match will be con-
summated for a card that will be
staged shortly after the first Of the
year while the legislature is in ses.
sion.

Delaney Hurdles First Con-
tender on Road to Title
Bout With Tunney

Chicago. Dec. 1O.-R1-Jack De-
laney's Chicago debut last night
before $4,000 worth of Coliseum
customers was q knockout, techmi-
cal, but thorough. Paul Berlenbach's
comeback aspirations went winging
away in the sixth round when the
referee stepped between the two
former light heavyweight cham
pions and stopped the fight.
Three times Delaney put Berry
down, but Berly wouldn't stay put.
When the fight was ended, the As
toria Assassin, reeling and groggy,
was still ready to 60 on. His game
ness got him plenty Of cheers, but
it could not bring him victory. It
was their fourth meeting. Each
held a decision over the other, but
Delaney had a knockout victory add
ed to make his side of the ledger
brighter.
Berly's Chin Is Target
Berlenbach's trouble last night
was his inability to get his chin out
Of the way of Delaney's powerful
right swings. The bell saved him
at the end of the fourth round. He
had been down once for the count
of nine and had gone down again
when he beh halted the count.
Berlenbach seemed to recover
rapidly from these punches and for
q brief time took the offensive but
Delaney danced out Of the way of
his wild leads. The crowd seemed
to feel that Delaney was endeavor-
ing to spare Berlenbach further
punishment, and began to boo. With
Berlenbach still boring in, this drove
Delaney to the attack in the sixth
when he dropped Berlenbach again.
As punch 'em" Paul staggered to
his feet before the count could be
started, Delaney came at him fast.
With the former terror Of the 175-
Founders reeling to the ropes,
Referee Jimmy Gardner stepped be-
tween them and ended the contest,
awarding Delaney . technical knock
out, just before the round would
have ended.
Delaney already had come to an
understanding with Promoter Jim
Mullen that he would be given a
chance at Tunney here next sum-
mer, the proviso being that he wad-
ed through q sufficiently impress
sive group Of contenders. Berlen-
bach was the first and the wading
was impressive.
