Talking It Over BY DANIEL Batting for Joe Williams)
NEW YORK. Aug. 7.—That great fanfare of trumpets and blowing of bugles, which has been denting your tympani for the last week, has emanated from the market place of the beak busters. It has been shrieking attention to a startling condition which envelop# the Jackie Berg-Kid Chocolate fight at the Polo Grounds tonight even as a loud vest surrounds a stomachache. m m m Tm act.

Too many of our good lookln* matches, on being taken apart, have been found riddled ith maggot*, but this particular bout may stand the test—and for a very good reason, too. mam THERE should be an honest fight because there is no great- incentive to be dishonest. No title will be at stake. A defeat for Chocolate would not dishonor him in his own division and might induce the Cuban Negro to go after the title held by Bat B&ttalino rather than the one which A1 Singer jounced out of Sammy Mandell. If Berg is beaten the setback is not likely to be severe enough to countermand tentative negotiations for a fight between Jackie and Singer. a a a Having seen sack featherweights as Ahe Attcll.

Willie Ritchie and Freddy Welsh when they were better than good. I cannot become excited •boat this boy Berg. a a a However, in Berg and Chocolate we have About as good as boxing affords today at their respective weights, and we must take what we have. I have no great respect for either the Britton or the Negro in so far as hitting power is concerned. Chocolate is strictlv a counter fighter and does most of his hitting going away. Berg keeps throwing gloves from all angles end never gets set long enough to deliver a realiv hurtful ounch. a a a But ther're what the fans call “crowd pleasers,” and it's likely to be an interestnig fight.

JACK BERG SLIGHT CHOICE OVER KID CHOCOLATE
Torrid Scrap Expected Between Mitt Stars in New York Ring Tonight $150,000 House to See Undefeated Cuban, Master of Boxers, in Action Against London Hebrew, a Willing Slugger, at Polo Grounds. BY FRANK GETTY I'nited Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. Aug. 7.—A slender little Cuban Negro, who has never been licked in a lifetime involving 168 professional fights, and a sturdy, ambitious young Hebrew from the rough and tumble Whitechapel section of London will battle through ten rounds, or less, at the Polo Grounds tonight. The really remarkable thing about this bout between Kid Chocolate and Jack (Kid) Berg is that even the most cynical boxing fan, disillusioned because of repeated disappointments in fistic affairs this year, believes that this meeting between the two aspirants for the lightweight championship of the world is going to produce a real scrap. — After what transDired when A1

After what transpired when A1 Singer took the title away from what remained of Sammy Mandell last month, such confidence certainly deserves to be more than its own reward, and there is every reason to believe that Chocolate and Berg, will, for once, give boxing fans their money’s worth. As for the outcome of the bout, that is pleasingly uncertain. Berg will have nearly a ten-pound pull in the weights. The Londoner is a tireless, mauling type of fighter, with no science and possessed of no real punch. Chocolate, on the other hand, is the cleverest man, pound for pound, in the ring today, and a sharp hitter as well. Whether he can give away ten pounds and stand off a fighter of the rushing, twofisted type he must meet tonight remains to be seen. Berg, because of the weight advantage -,nd the belief that he can baffle Chocolate by his steadfast, whirlwind attack, is a slight favorite- The odds are said to be 6 to 5 on the Englishman. The bout will not be broadcast, and Madison Square Garden, promoting the. affair, looks forward optimistically to a gate of $150,000.
Golf Feature Arranged for Avalon Links A golf match that promises to stir up abundant interest has been arranged for Avalon Country Club Sunday afternoon, beginning about 1 o’clock.

Carlin, Dolby, Brice, Faust, Murphy, Price, Purdy, Lewis and Blake all went down to quick defeat before Webb since May 26,
had not secured a satisfactory victim for the proposed bout. If an opponent is found, Camera’s appearance will depend on the Illinois state athletic commission which has barred Leon See. “I will not allow Primo to fight unless I can manage and second him,” said See. “We don’t care who the opponent is, but unless the Illinois commission reverses its action and grants me a license there will be no fight.” Camera was scheduled to meet Bombo Chevalier in the “battle of vindication,” but for some reason—possibly the chance of the Oakland Negro again refusing to “dive” and forcing Primo’s handlers to re-enact their towel-throwing stunt—he lias been dropped from consideration. Malloy now is attempting to publicize his show by wiring challenges to Schmeling, Sharkey, Stribling, Cam polo and other first-rank heavies, who either are out of the country or out of training.

It was Hildebrand’s bad luck that two of his three passes developed into runs. The marker off Muirooney was unearned, an infield error figuring in the scoring. Indianapolis had thirteen runners left stranded on the paths and eleven were left by Kansas City. Holley refused to work fast and consumed so much time on the diamond that the game dragged out well beyond two hours. Hildebrand Fans Six The lone Tribe marker was registered in the fourth when the Corridenites got a double, single and two walks, the run going over on a passed ball. Hildebrand fanned six and Holley got four. Fielding features were contributed by Darnhart, Pick and Gooch.
