\tirrin’ I tlm DOPE By VEDDER GARD

mHERE is one born every minute and most of them go to New York. Some 50,000 suckers paid out their good coin Thursday night to see Stribling and Berlenbach. They not only planked down the dough, but got all EXCITED about the fight. Thep when they got there they were surprised because the Georgia battler followed his usual 'custom and hung on for fifteen rounds. They got all excited again and yelled and booed to their hearts’ content. Many of them got their money’s worth in lung saercise. One of the most overrated fighters in the game today, Young Stribling should be through in New York. But is he through? In six months or a year maybe 50,000 more boobs will be ready to crowd into an arena again. The public likes to be fooled. Stribling’s prestige for Thursday’s championship battle was increased by his good showing against Risko. Every one thought It was rather peculiar that William should meet the Cleveland tough boy just before the Berlenbach bout. But it Was the very thing. The title go was ‘‘built up’’ by Stribling’s good showing against Risko. New York boxing at various times, despite the belligerent commission, is “funny.” Strange things happen. We are not suggesting a thing out of the way, but We don’t like to criticise "Pa” and “Ma,” but they should have made a wrestler out of their pride and joy and meal ticket-. He fights that way; barnstorms that way. He should be a great success on the mat. But then after all, why worry, William has made plenty of dough as a fighter. And there are plenty of suckers left. * * * With all the umpires there are to pick on, Bill McKechnie had to choose Klem, the czar. The manager of the Pirates should have known better than that. The Pittsburgh leader now is thinking it over as a noncombatant as he smarts under an indefinite suspension handed out / by President Heydler of the National league. If you remember, it was Klem who said there weren’t any close ones. Why argue with a man like that? * * * Br"'-’] ILL CLYMER is strutting his stuff these days. "Derby day” has the Buffalo club right up at the top of the International League battling tooth and nail with Baltimore, the perennial winner. It would be an awful shock if the Orioles faijed to cop the pennant. The International fans just sit back and wait until It’s over, usually. The Bisons are causing quite a sensation by their failure to observe the established order of things. Buffalo, Baltimore and Toronto are far ahead of the rest of the teams. It is a three-way race. Thursday, Clymer’s club got. so "mad” upon losing to Jersey City in the first game of a doubleheader that the team went out in the second fracas and made fourteen runs in ope inning for a season record.

J 1 "' PROUT of the foreign rations committee of the A. A. U. is one tough bird. Ask Charley Hoff if you don't believe it. When the Norwegian vaulter sent a long telegram to the A. A. U. asking for a hearing and explanation of the A. A. U.s action in canceling further permission to compete in the United States, Prout sent the following reply. “Press reports state you are wiring me to establish basis for suit against the Amateur Athletic Union. Other reports are that the present controversy Is publicity stunt preceding your > entry into moving pictures. In either case I do not feel your wire should be answered. If either or both reports are wrong please wire?” Mr. Prout and those officials in the Northern England golf tourney, who disqualified Jim Barnes and Joe Kirkwood, because they were fifteen minutes late at the starting tee should get together for a little visit. Undoubtedly - they would have much in common. • * * SFTER all, baseball is a cold business proposition and Hank Gowdy Is out in the cold. His Columbus club failed to win this year and the fans failed to pour in their dollars at the gate. • It doesn’t matter who you are. The goods must be delivered—rookie or famous character of the great national game—each is treated the -same. At least, that is the case as far as Gowdy is concerned. Hank Gowdy is out of a job with the season only two months old. He has not been given any more consideration than the lowliest recruit, because the gate receipts stopped. Gowdy is a colorful figure. Last year he played with the New Tork Giants. In 1914 with Boston Braves he was at the height of his glory and the batting hero in the world series in which the astonishing Beantown club downed Philadelphia Athletics in four straight games for the championship. Boston climbed from last place to win the National League pennant that year. Gowdy was the first of the major leaguers 'to enlist in the World War and took part in several engagements over-seas. But all this record becomes nothing. Columbus could not win and the fans would not pay. A former popular hero has got the gate. One must deliver In this world and sentiment Is found in story books and the movies. £

MANY OF NATION’S BEST IN NATIONAL COLLEGE TRACK MEET

WRESTLE INSTEAD OF FIGHT Stribling Dismal Disappointment and Berlenbach Retains Title. By Paul W. White United ‘Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. June 11.—Paul Berlenbach remains the light heavyweight champion of the world, and from the list of those disputing his title the name of Young Stribling has been erased. The erasion was accomplished thoroughly and uninterestingly on Thursday night at the Yankee stadium. For fifteen rounds Berlenbach was employed In setting down the challenging Georgian and the decision was by a mile. It was not a fight calculated to please many of the 50,000 or so customers. If Stiibling had been more successful in the fascinating “catch-as-catch-can” maneuvers he employed, it would have been a wrestling match. Some Action For the first five rounds the bout had some action. But Paul’s vicious left reduced Stribling to a point where he spent the rest of the' evening in clinches? As the southerner hung on to the champion he pushed and shoved, once backing Berlenbach through the ropes and into the press box. That diversion came in the fourteenth round. In the first three rounds, the boxers felt each other out and no blow of consequence was landed. The fourth saw Berlenbach shoot a left to the heart and that blow may have been the decisive %troke. Stribling out-boxed his opponent in the fifth, but faltered after that and won no other round. Repeatedly Warned In the late periods, Stribling was repeatedly warned by the ' referee, who tried his best to speed up the bout. Berlenbach attempted to fight, but Stribling clinched so repeatedly that many fans began to leave. Even persistent booing failed to arouse the challenger, who seemed not to have a telling blow in his repertoire. “Pa” Stribling, father-manager of the defeated boxer, said after the bout that he had no excuses* He refused to coincide with some crtics who said that Stribling was too finely trained.

Bo Times Special MINNEAPOLIS. June 11.—After being out of action two days, the Indians came to Minneapolis Thursday and opened a long road trip and lost to the Millers, 9 to 6. Dutch Henry, usually effective against the Kels, blew up in the third inning and the locals staged a rally that scored five runs. Wisner relieved Henry, and was found for four markers during his stretch on the mound and he gave way to a pinch hitter in the eighth, Thompson finishing. The Tribesmen led 3 to 0 before

j Around the A. A. | By Eddie Ash Aren’t the Brewers ever going to lose? They walloped the Senators on Thursday and extended their consecutive winning string to seventeen. Hank Gowdj? was fired as Columbus manager on Thursday, morning and Gedrge McQuillan was appointed new pilot—and the Senators stepped out In the afternoon and lost another ball game. Minneapolis lost ten games in a row before Indianapolis arrived on the scene. Henry beat the Millers twice before, but that third inning Thursday ruined him. He lost control and had to let down to get ’em over—and the Millers pickled ’em. In addition to owning a recordbreaking ball club, Milwaukee is famous for something else. The Cream City still sets out free lunch and what usually goes with it. Kolp "sat ’em down” at St. Paul Thursday and allowed the Colonels only three hits.. Toledo and Kansas City engaged In a slugfest, the Hens winning. The Indians had the lead thrlee In that Minneapolis opener, but couldn’t hold it. Griffin, Brewer first * baseman, clouted two home runs and two singles off Columbus pitching, Thursday. Riggs Stephenson poled two singles for the Chicago Cubs. Thursday and crossed the plate twice, but the Braves took another' from the McCarthy crew. Milwaukee is five 1 games ahead of the third-place Bushmen and two games out in front of the secondplace Colonels. M’KECHNIE SUSPENDED BV United Press NEW YORK, June 11.—Bill McKechnie, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Thursday was suspended indefinitely by President John A.

Stars From Coast in Chicago Tourney Saturday—Houser, Kuck, Locke Among List of Notables. By Bert M. Demby United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 11. —As tine a gathering of college athletes as could be rounded up throughout the Nation today awaits the roar of the starter’s gun that will open the national collegiate A. A. games Satrwday.

On the eve of the meet it appears' that records are more certain than ever to be buffeted about as'the boys go through their favorite events. Every athlete entered in the meet is, at least, a place winner in his sectional games. Some hold world's records, others, American records, and quite a few boast of various conference marks. Great Bunch A glance over the entries brings out such names as Bud Houser, Southern California; John Kuck, Kansas State Teachers College; Roland Locke, the Nebraska flier; Sweet, Montana; Hester, Michigan; Northrop, Michigan; Taylor, Baylor, and Barnes, Southern California. Every exent promises to develop the kind of competition that a national meet should bring out but the weights and sprints probably will be more evenly divided among the stars than any of the others. In the weights Kuck and Houser stand out as the pick, but there is Dan Lyon. Illinois; Clifford Hoffman. Sanford, and R. G. Dauber, lowa, to give the two stars a good run. Capable of Records Anyone of the entire group is capable of record throws. The duel between Kuck and Houser in the shot put and discus is likely to be the really close event of the meet. In the sprints it seems a toss up between Locke, Hester and Sweet. Either of the three men can run the hundred in 9 4-5, and it probably will be a case of who is right. A heavy rain falling this morning threatened to cause postponemen* of the preliminaries scheduled for this afternoon. Capt. Hermdn Phillips of Butler is in Chicago to compete in the 440 and 880-yard runs at the national collegiate tourney.

NO MATCHES Browne-Lenglen and Other Contests Postponed. Bv United Press PARIS. June 11.—Mary K. Browne's match with Suzanne Lenglen for the French tennis championship today was postponed until Saturday, after rain had made a puddle of the center court at the Racing Club. Derision to postpone the match was reached shortly after 3 p. m. Rain had been falling for some time. The double matches scheduled for today had been postponed earlier. Helen Wills had been expected to meet Lenglen for the championship, but her illness gave the honor to Mary Browne. They are betting 20 to 1 that the'American girl will not win and odds of 10 to 1 may be had that Miss Browne will not take a set.
