Paul Decides He’s Had Enough

Bu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. Paul Bcrlenbach lias announced his retirement from the ring to become a lumberman. The Astoria (N. Y.) pugilist, who for five years has been one of the big figures in the boxing game, said he has had a business opportunity offered him which is so attractive he feels he should accept it. Berlenbach started out as a wrestler. Eater, Dan Hickey, boxing instructor, persdaded Paul he would do better as a boxer. In 1921 Berlenbach started his ring career, which reached its height when he won the light-heavyweight championship from Mike McTigue in 1925. In July of last year Paul lost the title to Jack Delaney. Recently he came out second best in a bout with McTigue and that defeat probably had much to do with his decision to retty-e. Berlenbach is said to have made $250,000 during his ring career, above what it cost him. HERB BALKS ON TERMS Bil United Press NEW YORK, Feb. B.—Herb Pen nock, Yankee southpaw, failed to agree on a 1927 contract with Miller Huggins when the met to talk it over Monday and is threatening to become a holdout.

SHE 1027 State high school final tournament is going to be one hot affair. The schedules released Monday night by Secretary Trester indicate as much. And even before we get to the final stage, this State is liable to have nervous prostration several times during the regionals. We easily could cite a few “ifs” that would give any number serious attacks of heart trouble. What would you say IF Seymour beat Bedford? Lafayette beat Frankfort? Bloomington beat Martinsville? And what would we say IF North Manchester beat Logansport? You 1 use your imagination! To get back to the State finals, wt believe the tourney is going to be the “hottest'’ event staged in many a year. There's going to be action galore! The fireworks start going first thing Friday morning March 18 and keep on until Saturday night March 19. The winner of the Evansville regional will meet the winner of the Bedford regional, and son on and so forth. But. the real battle comes on Friday night March 18 when Logansport and Martinsville lay down the peace pipe and settle to actual warfare. You can take it direct from us to watch Froebcl of Gary if they over get to the torunament. We can remember two years ago when Frankfort had the scare of its life in the closing minutes of its game with Froebel. Two boys out there, Polizotto and Smith, the latter a giant Negro, be gan slinging field goals through the hoop as fast as the ball was put in play. Frankfort won, 25-23, but well lay dollars to doughnuts the 1925 State est amps never will forget that game. The race for individual scoring honors in the Big Ten is narrowing to a select few. Bill Hunt, Ohio State pilot, still is out in front, but by the scantiest of margins. He has 73, while Daugherity (Illinois) ha* 71, Krueger (Indiana) tops the Hoosier lads with 49. Beckner Is right on his heels with 48, and
