nARALYZING Paul Berlenbach,
I who was hailed as the hard
hitting light heavyweight Of re-
cent times when he pounded his way
to q world championship. has gone
back to his old stamping grounds,
Astoria, Long Island. to exc out
living. An idol OF fistiana only
few years ago, the former light
heavyweight king recently advertised
In New York newspaper for JOB
as an athletic instructor with pri-
vate family, in addition to which he
declared he was willing to act as
private chauffeur.
Not that "Oom Paul" is broke,
for he has almost 100000 sewed up
in investments, but like many others,
Paul declares that he Is bond poor.
When he fought he reaped fortune
in three years, and much OF this ne
salted away. but lawsuits. divorce
action and the depression put q
crimp into the bank roll, and now
Berlenbach must 60 back to work.
According to Paul, he earned
$350,000 as a champion, but let a lot
of that slip through his fingers. He
spent q considerable sum as dog
fancler, but disease caused the Qeatn
of his nine prize Great Danes, all
winners at the Westminster Dog
Show, and with their loss went close
to $4,000. That was the start Of
Paul'S misfortunes.
Then he lost his beautiful house
at Pelham, and two homes at At
lantic Beach, Long Island; yet Ber-
lenbach took it all with smile.
I'm broke" he said. Like others,
I'm bond poor, but I'm neither too
old nor too proud to work."
And now Paul has job, and he's
awaiting the day when the stock
market will 60 back to normal and
he can cash in on his investments
money he had won in great ring
battles.

Puts Fire i'm Pin Fireworks
Arlle Ebesole Hustler Whom the Bowling Game Has
Cashed Big Dividends

This energetic bowling leader ha.
been one of the big cogs in the ma
chinery which made possible the un.
precedented success Of The Evenine
Star tourney, which has developed into
an outstanding event Of its kind in the
country.
Ebersole's Job In the tourney make
up was the handicapping Of. the
bowiers. This meant the searching
OF the averages OF every bowler with
a mark below lis, then figuring his
handicap. And when you know
bowling, this Is = task-and then
some.
When you understand that The Star
tourney established a national record
for entries in these depressed times, Eb-
ersole's job in the event begins to show
its importance. He was deluged with
names and figures. When the task was
completed, it was master stroke.
The pin leader is as good an official
as he Is a statistician, as Is proved by
his showing with the Washington Duck
pin Association. He was drafted from
the Masonic League by the city associa-
ton in 1925, and since his entrance
the annual tournament has shown an
increase in teams each year.
Duckpin men assert Ebby has
made the secretdry's job OF the local
association something more than an
Office, NTH routine details He be-
came handspring in the sport from
the moment he Iedped into it. And
the Office became one OF importance.
Under the secretary's leadership, the
association came to take a hand In
everything Of Importance in the way OF
bowling activity. Before Ebersole's re-
gime the secretaries confined themselves
to clerical work on the annual city
tournament.
But that's just one Of Ebby's tasks
After The Star event he will go to
work on the Howard Campbell Sweep
stakes, the classic big-money event
which he was instrumental in bringing
under the auspices of the association.
When you sum up Ebby's work In
bowling since 1926, the answer seems
to be that he has been one Of the
big factors in the games success in
Washington.
