BERLENBACH is FAVORITE
FOR FIGHT WITH McTICUE
Paul Facing First Hurdle in Path Toward Chance at
Heavyweight Crown, While Mike Would Prove
He Is Making Real Comeback.

world champions, Mike McTigue and
Paul Berlenbach, is on tap awaiting
the opening gong tonight. Unlike SO
many battles advertised as grudge
affairs, this one really turns out to
be just that
Words have been passing back and
forth between both camps, and this
has not made matters pleasant be-
tween the fighters. One thing is sure,
the men will be out there trying to
knock each others block off from the
time the bell sends them into action.
McTigue has suffered his first and
only knockout since he had it out
with Berley. Jack Delaney turned
the trick. Mike will tell you to this
day that the referee had no business
stopping the fight when he did. There
were only 5 seconds remaining before
the end of the round and Mike thinks
he could have stalled his way through
that short period, recuperated during
the minute rest and made things
merry for the Bridgeport sharp
shooter.
Proves Help to McTigue.
The knockout accomplished wonders
with McTigue. That is, it converted
him from safety-first boxer into an
aggressive. two-flsted battler. Dia
Dollings proved to him that a knock
out was not so terrible after all. Be-
tween the Knockout and Dia's talk,
Mike has been a revelation to the
fans. His knockouts of King Solo
mon, Billy Vidabeck and Soldier King
prove this. Then Mike manhandled
John Risko, who f1oored Berley and
copied q decision over him.
Berlenbach has been away from the
game since his mild workout with
Francis Charles. 1t lasted less than
minute. Berley has discarded all ideas
of becoming a boxer and will fight the
only way he knows how, tearing in
and punching away with his paralyz-
ing left and crossing over the right
for the finishing blow.
Paul has much at stake. He Is out
after the heavyweight title and has
been named by Tex Richard in the
tourney he Is staging to develop a
worthy opponent for Gene Tunney.

Observe how the center of balance
runs through the body in these
sketches. In Figure 1 you will see a
line from "D'' through the point of
the right shoulder. downward, point

That shows how solidly the weight
rests on the feet. The weight is back
and the back is arched, as it should
be. The balance is not easily lost
when it is anchored like this from the
outset. Be careful you do not get too
far forward while swinging-very easy
habit to fall into.
Practicing these positions, inciden.

~ ONTESTANTS in the biggest
pot" battle ever staged by
Washington bowlers tomor-
row night will go through
the second block of the sweep
stakes tournament, shifting their ac-
tivities from the King Pin to the
Coliseum drives. Five more games
will be rolled, leaving another five that
will conclude the affair to be shot on
the Convention Hall alleys week
from tomorrow.
Right now, some of the bowlers
who were not figured to have much
of a look-in at the siZeable cash prizes
when the tournament started are
very much in the running. While
others who had been setting the al
leys afire with their sharpshooting
are so we'll back that they Will have
to make remarkable recoverieS to get
into the race once more.
However. bowling is one of the
most uncertain of sports. Scoring or.
dinarily one week, the duckpinner is
apt to soar to dizzy heights the next
and the star of one block may find
himself the goat of the following five
games. That's what makes duckpin
bowling so interesting. It's the I'M
certainty that's the spice of the game.
OF course, over the stretch of a
campaign, the good bowler stands out
He maintains his high average be-
cause he has few off-nights. But In
15-game block anything may happen
Off on the wrong foot, he doesn't have
much of an opportunity to get back.
And to recover lost ground, he usually
has to come through with a brilliant
performance.
All of this will have the bowling
fans watching with interest the work
of Glenn Weidman and Perce Elicit,
long recognized as topnotchers, who
now are roosting high in the sweep
stakes standings, and OF Joe Mulroe
and Freddie Moore, clever duckpin-
ners, but heretofore not considered or
the caliber of the other two men men,
toned.
1t also will have the duckpin de-
voices keeping their eyes on such
drive notables as Glenn WOlstenholme,
Howard Campbell, Walter Megaw, Al
Work, George Friend, Max Rosenberg
and u couple of others who for some
seasons have been among the first 10
of the District. These fellows did not
fare so well in the first five-game
block and have much ground to pick
up if they would remain in the run
ming after the second block is rolled.
Some of these bowlers now in the
ruck are expected to provide plenty of
| fireworks tomorrow night. It is to be
hoped they will. Let the race for first
/ honors be somewhat tighter after the
