IT'S big order for the strapping
l95-pounder, who has played little
since graduating from the University
OF Pennsylvania In 1882, but those
who saw him clean up the man who
gave Dooly Mitchell such a fight in
the recent District tournament were
ready to place the chips On MIN not
only to beat Ri.zenberg, but to win
the tournament.
Towering over six feet, Shenkin, like
most big fellows. has powerful fore
arm, being able to boom the ball with
all the speed Of Buck Newsom's fast
'un. His only disadvantage lies in
his condition somewhat impaired as
the result of his long lay-off. Should
he get by Allie. however, another
Ritzenberg, Nate, will be waiting for
him in the semi-finaLs.
Just as far along as Shenkin, though
not as unexpected, are the current
favorites Of Pat Deck, Ray Stocklinski.
Eddie Jacob and two Of the three
Ritzenbergs. The third Ritzenbsrg,
Hy, proved the form over which Deck
advanced yesterday. the latter win
