Sim* TIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

WILLIAM AND PAUL SHAT Young Stribling-Paul Berlenbach battle for the light heavyweight crown on Thursday night at thS Yankee stadium in New York is a tough scrap in which to try and pick the winner. Both fighters have shown (Jie public many contradictory exhibitions. In other words,, the ‘‘form sheet” is badly scrambled, gtripling (or maybe it is “Pa”) is a good business man and Tias beem bowling over set-ups for months. One night he looks as though lie has the stuff and the next time he makes a mediocre showing. It is said by some critics that Stribling usually > holds something back. Those who favor the Georgian's chances believe he will step out in the real test, as lie did against Risko, and win the title. Others do not believe “the Peach” is good enough to hurt the rugged Paul, who absorbs punishment. like a blotter does, ink. Stribling's punch, they say, has about tiie kick of near-beer. They believe Berlenbach will wear down Stribling with body punches to win. But, then, there is the other side of the picture. Oom Paul is a peculiar proposition himself. He is always doing the unexpected. When the fans think he will murder an opponent he fails to show anything. When they think he is in for a beating he surprises by taking ti beating and giving liis adversary a worse beating. He lias crossed up tlie wise boys time after time. What will -happen Thursday night is just a guess. 'Striblirig is a slight favorite in the betting of his showing against Risko. Take your choice. * * * SOMMY W t EBBER’S long hair, which continually got into his eyes, worried the ring fans at Ft. Harrison Tuesday night and the usual remarks from the comedians vfere in iJrder. “Go get him, Herpicide.” “Wait ’till the hair gets in his eyes, then hit him, Jackie.” “Hope he makes enough to get a haircut.” “Wish it was a wrestling match so Jackie could use the scissors.” And so on, and so on, and so, on. ** * * “You must own a Ford,” said a wifcecracker, looking back at a fan who was rooting for Webber, Detroit boy. * * * The fans liked Hopwood, the Ciney boy who failed to be dismayed by Shine's dynamite right hand. Once when Hopwood popped the local taxie driver on the ear a ringslder yelled, “There goes a fender, “Charley," *# * _ splendid form again. The Flapper Purse <at Latonia was a cinch for the Audley Farm filly on Tuesday. The Princess had all the of it in the weights, with only 113 pounds up. Ten more pounds probably would not have stopped her. She had to be much the best/ as it was, becouse she was shuffled back at the start and had to make up much ground. * * * It appeared to the ringsiders as though A1 Webster tired in the final rounds, but he kept boring In. The old steam was lacking, however. Anderson and Webster seemed to be putting out their best, which is all the fans demand. " It was a real bout. * • • We are in favor of some sort of a contraption like the checkrein used on horses to put on certain boxers who won’t hold up their heads.

CITY NET TOURNEY IN THIRD ROUND; DOUBLES ACTION STARTS

WEBSTER SHADED IN BOUT Kentucky Battler Solves Peculiar Style to Win on - Points. Joe Anderson of Covington, Kjt., is a smart boy. That’s why he w r on the shade over A1 Webster of Billings, Mont., Tuesday night at the Ft. Harrison fight show in the main go of ten rounds. It took the Kentucky battler several rounds to solve Webster’s peculiar style and liis lunging left, but after Joe figured it all out the westerner was checked. Anderson pounded in vain at the rugged countenance- of his adversary as far as doing any serious damage was concerned, but he was stronger at the end and piled up enough points to get the verdict. The last four rounds belonged to Anderson. Webster won the fourth, fifth and sixth when he got in his best licks. The first and third rounds were even and Anderson had a shade advantage in the second. Reynolds Has Edge Jackie Reynolds, Muncie lightweight, had the edge over Tommy Webber of Detroit, who subbed for Denny Tremaine Webber was a “turtle” boxer with a crouch and therefore hard to hit. Reynolds smacked the top of the Michigander’s head most of the time. Webber got in most of his blows to the body. He was at a disadvantage, because of lack of reach. -* Royal Cox won every round of the six against Tommy Murphy. Royal knew too much and had a decided advantage in reach. Charley Shine of this' city and Young Hopwood of Cincy went six rounds to a draw. Hopwood made a favorable impression ~ with the fans by his / willingness to step in and mix. Shine got in the harder punches. „ Slam Bang! Billy Bush of Lousiville had the shade over Lester Meade of Ft. Harrison In the four round prelim. It was a slambang affair. Bush went down in the first round but was up in an instant. Bush retaliated in the third and sent Meade down for the count of nine. Lieut. Porter, Ft. Harrison matchmaker, announced that next Tuesday night a double wind-up would feature with Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee meeting Eddie Staten of Louisville, and Jimmy Finley of Louisville meeting Floyd Hybert of Buffalo.
