Berlenbach Again in Ring Spotlight—Tech Five Shows Surprising Strength
fSLUGGER PAUL IS BACK IN FIGHTDOM’S SELECT Technical K, 0, of Estridge Impresses Gotham Shows More Ciass Than Experts Believed He Possessed, Bv PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. L’7.—Local light fans today wore matching Paxil Berlenbach with Mike McTigue for the world’s light heavyweight title. Harry Greb, the middleweight championship, and in fact any and all comers.
Berlenbach came back into the , front rank of fightdom by virtue of ! the severe beating he gave Larry : Estridge, negro middleweight, in Madison Square Garden Friday night before a crowd of 13,000. Referee Jack O'Sullivan wisely stopped the bout after two minutes and forty-five seconds of fighting in the second round of a scheduled twelve-round go. Terrific Punch Outweighing his opponent by twelve pounds, the winner's terrific punch was too much for the negro’s 6peed and cleverness. Berlenbach himself showed more pugilistic skill than he had previously been conceded. In the second round Estridge. game to the I femnt of nine Bleeding from iv-se pid mouth, he clutched the rope - and struggled to an upright position. Berlenbach charged across the ring to shoot out what was certain to be a knock-out blow. At this point O'Sullivan stepped between them and stopped the slaughter. It was a technical knock-out. Delaney Wins In the sem-flnal Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, Conn., the only man who has knocked out Berlenbach since, the latter’s entrance into professionalranks,’ easily got a decision , over Pal Reed of Boston In a twelveround encounter. It was a moral victory' for Reed, his gameness in staying, despite, a stiff lacing, oeing cheered at the conclusion of ihe uneven battle.

SMART TRADING ADDS STRENGTH TO SENATORS Harris Swings Deals in Winter Meetings, Obtaining McNally as Utility Player and Coveleskie, Pitcher, By Vnitfd I‘rens NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Through some smart trading by young liucky Harris, the Washington Senators was the only major league club that succeeded in swinging a deal to strengthen itself during the winter baseball meetings. The world’s champions secured Mike McNally indirectly from the New York Yankees and the veteran spitball pitcher, .Stanley Coveleskie, from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for three rookies, a pitcher, an outfielder and an infielder.
Harris was fortunate enough to strengthen the champions in two departments, without weakening another department. Lacked Reserves The lack of reliable reserve strength was the outstanding weakness of the Washington club in the 1924 pennant race, but Harris was lucky enough to avoid any accidents that would have forced him to call upon his reserves. Mike McNally is one of the best utility men in the American League. He can play second base, third base and shortstop. In the event that Peck’s legs haven’t gone back on him permanently, McNally will be needed only as a substitute next season, and with Alike around, Harris will find it possibly to rest his x'eteran shortstop by using McNally part of the time. Another Right-Hander Coveleskie will give the Senators another experienced right-hand pitcher, something that the club needs badly, especially If Walter Johnson should make some other arrangements which will enable him to retire from the major leagues. Coveleskie had reached the end in Cleveland.' but that does not mean that he will be no good in Washington. It frequently happens in the case of veteran players that a change of uniform brings about a new life, and Covey may turn out to be a winner In Washington.

VANDERBILT FIVE TACKLES BUTLER BETTERS TONIGHT First Tomlinson Hall Game of Season Intersectional Affair, Coach Cody and his veteran squad of Vanderbilt net tossers were due in this city at 2:30 p. m. today ready for a game tonight at Tomlinson Hall with the strong Butler outfit. The n,;un contest will start at 8, preceded by a curtain raiser. Considerable interest has been aroused in the contest, due to Butler's recent fine showing in defeat ;ng lowa, Wisconsin and Marquette on consecutive nights. It is the first charge that the fans in general have had to watch the I’age men perform. Compare of Style There is also the intersectional flavor to the affair which has a certain appeal. Fans always like to compare the style of play between teams in different sections. Basketball, more than any other sport, is played diffcrentlly in various parts of the country. Indiana fans are inclined to be lieVe that the basketball sport as played in the I Inosier State is just about the peak of performance. And they have some right to that opinion. Tonight it can be compared to the southern methods. Veteran Squad It. is doubtful if the Vanderbilt five will be much of a match for tiie Irvington team The club from Nashville.

Collins said he does not know where 1 -;s choice will fall. Prevailing opinion is that ne will pick some former teammate, probably one of the old Philadelphia Athletics aggregation.
With Shortridge stepping out in better style than for many seasons and Manual developing slowly, but surely the local prep situation is reaching a state where the fans are getting a bit excited over the possibility of having real contenders in the field this year. Only a week away looms the first real test of strength between the two city fives which are rated strongest at the present time. Shortridge and Technical go round and round at Tomlinson Hall on next Saturday night. The high school rooters probably will tear that old building down trying to get in. It won’t hold half the number that will want to see the struggle. Tech-Southport Tonight Technical shows its stuff again tonight at the local Y. M. C. A. against the team which put the Green and White out of the local sectional last year. Southport. The rooters have not forgotten and neither has Tech. There is talk of revenge in the air. And at the present speed it looks as though Tech will get its wish. Technical at Elwood Friday night showed a fine offensive and tossed in many baskets—something which the local team has failed to do in the past. They seem to have come to the conclusion that It takes points to win games and are getting them. Tech opened a bombardment right at the start and kept at It throughout. Chandler was the high point man with seven field goals and two from the foul line. Hickman played his usual fine game and tossed in four from the field. Babcock went good again at floor guard with four field goals and two fouls. Glunt., a find at back gu battled hard throughout. Virgil Stars Virgil yus the big star for Elwood with eight field goals and one free throw. \He counted more than half of his team’s total.
