Copyright, 1024, The Casper Tribune NEW YORK. Jan. 22.—Seldom it is that New York fans look forward to a semi-final bout as promising anything other than the settlement of a question as to superiority as between two mixers of no great prominence. Thus the semi-final bout that seems to have been ar ranged between Young Stribling and Paul - Berlenbach, the promising New Yorker, will come as an agree able novelty to the Garden patrons. Stribling's age prevents him from participation In long bouts in this state but there is no objection on the part of the state boxing authori ties tp hls appearing In the shorter MORAN ONE OF TWO NEARLY READY TO TAKE ON LEONARD BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK. Jan. 22.—(United Press)—While Benny Leonard is in no danger of losing his lightweight crown, a couple of boys have come out recently who may be able to at least help Leonard keep his business from suspending. After Leonard polished off Lew Tendler so completely last summer and after Charley White had been Upped on the chin, the lightweight champion was completely out of es tablished opponents. He was then facing the prospect of retiring und devoting his time to the stage, a profession that appeals to him very strongly, or stepping into ihe welterweight class. Just recently, however, two young sters have come out who may de velop Into challengers of sufficient merit to be built up fpr two fights thLyiummer. Pal Moran, the New Orleaps lightweight, seems to be the logical contender for the title, if any pro moter wants to assume the liability of the purso that Leonard will de mand and the expense of staging a big fight. Moran has been showing class for more than a year and he jumped into prominence when he knocked out Charley White last summer. White, you know, hasn’t been on the canvas very many times. Just a few weeks ago, Moran stopped Johnny Shugrue. It is true that Shugrue isn't a topnotcher but the Impressive part of Moran’s performances against him was the manner In which he won. The New Orleans boy is a legiti mate lightweight and he Is a strong rugged boy. He has a fine fighting disposition, learns quickly and seems possessed of the most Ideal tern perament for a good fighter. Given a couple of good hard fights and h« will be ready for a crack at the lightweight title. At catch-weights no one believes that Moran would have a chance with Leonard, but there are many smart boxing men who believe that h e would give the champion a real fght If Benny had to make the weight. • • • If the champion can make 135 pounds, as he and his manager BiUy Gibbons, insists he can. It is most peculiar that he would not consent to step on the scales in public before ths last fight with Tendler. It will be remembered that the boxing commission would not per mit the newspapermen to see Leo nard and Tendler weigh in for that fight, although the rules clqarly pro vide that representatives of the press must be admitted. Since then it has been said that Leonard and Tender weighed 142 pounds, and that nothing was said about It because they were both over weight. Tendler. just a few days ago. passed out of the picture when he was given a terrible beating by Nate Goldman, a young former marine, who Is the second promising con tender for the title. Goldman had Tendler on the floor twice for the count of nine and he certainly would have stopped him If he had known enough to put over one good punch, when the south paw was out on his feet. Go'dman Is the third of the for mer marine class who has stepped out since the war. Gene Tunney the American light-weight champion and Ad Stone, who Is beginning to look like the coming heavyweight, were also in the marine corps and learned to fight when they were in the service. Goldman, according to reports, however. Is too heavy to do much mqre fighting in the lightweight class. Considering that he has such Ut ile opposition In the lightweight class and that his field for making money has been so diminished by the lack of opponents, It seems strange that Leonard, had not atep ped up Into the welterweight class. Leonard has lost a lot of love for the boxing business, but the chance to win two major championships and retire as the undefeated cham pion of two classes should move him to get out of the lightweight class. If he does want to get Into the theatrical business permanently. It certainly would not reduce the value of his name If he could be advertised as the lightweight and welterweight champion. While Mickey Walker, the web erweight champion, is held in low CDt Casper Daflp Crfftunt preliminaries. Hence the Btrlbllng- Berlenbach bout promised for the near future, which tn point of Inter est will probably outshine any final that may be carded. The southerner has gone 12 rounds against Dave Rosenberg and 10 rounds against Mike McTigue, hence there appears no real reason, except fear of establishing a pre cedent. for barring the Georgian from going the 15 round route. On the other hand, six rounds against such a punishing walloper os Berlen bach seems to be—he turned in his twentieth straight knockout last Friday night at the Garden—may be plenty long enough to suit Stribling. esteem by the general run of box ing fans because he refuses to de fend his title, yet It seems that Leonard must look upon him as a real fighter. Jack Britton, former champion, said- If Walker and Leonard ever meet, he will bet a couple of his apartment houses that Leonard will bo knocked out. Leonard has never liked the rush ing type of fighter, and Wslker, is just that kind. -Walker is also one of the meanest body punchers In the business. He Is a strong, rugged kid, and Leonard might have some trouble in slowing him up. Sport Calendar Racing Meeting of Business Men’s Rac ing Association, at New Orleans.

CHICAGO. Jan. 22.—(8y The As sociated Press.)—Jake Schaefer de feated Willie Hoppe. 500 to 369. In the first 500 point block of their 1.600 point challsnge match here last night and his victory, billiard fans declared, seems to bear out their predictions that the San Franciscan would again lift the 18.2 balk line billiard crown from the head of Mr. Hoppe. This, the third challenge match in as many seasons, is in the nature of a “rubber’’. Schaefer defeated Hoppe for the championship here In 1921, after Hoppe had held It continuously since 1912, but lost it again to him last year In the tourna ment at New York. Schaefer played a steady, and, at times, a brilliant game, going out In 13 innings with an unfinished run of 48 and an average of 38 6-13. Although the score board shows nve blank Innings and another of a single score for the challenger, it does not reflect on the worth of his game, but explains an apparent de sire to play safe and leave Hoppe in as difficult position as possible. Hoppe's evident failure to con sistently score big runs may have been duo to tho many hard safeties Jake left him. But ho, like Jake, when the balls were in poor posi tion, seemed to figure on the leave rather than the shot. However, when he ’was able to get the ivories together, he displayed the samo billiard technique that has kept him champion these many years and during the block got away with the high run of the night, 180, and an other of 112. His average was 30 9 12. The three blank two of one point each credited to the champion were the result of bad loaves and safety plays.

CHAMP FLIRTS WITH DEATH IN SEAPLANE ADRIFT OFF COAST BY ROBERT T. SMALL (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) MIAMI BEACH, Fla.. Jan. 22 “It was nothing at all and I wasn’t worried for a moment. In fact I didn’t- kr.ow we were in any par ticular danger till we stepped ashore.” This Is Jack Dempsey's own version of the narrowest es cape from death he has ever had since he became champion of the world. A fallen seaplane, adrift In the treacherous gulf stream, held Demp sey and hls “social secretary.” Ted dy Hayes, prisoners for more than two hours pn a blustery afternoon ’ast week. They were drifting help lessly Into the northerly current of the stream and making further and further from shore when a fishing boat noticed their plight. It quickly went to the rescue and. taking the disabled plane In tow brought it and Its precious pugilistic cargo safely Into Miami harbor. Hayes is still a bit scared. It has not quieted hls nerves in the least to hear the stories about what has happened to others who have got caught In the gulf stream. Only a short time ago. Col. James H.

Hauling up bis linos he went full speed ahead and event ually came upon a fishing boat with three men on board. They had been without food or water for two days. The grewsome phase of his story Is the fact that half a down big sharks, seeming to sense the plight of the fishermen were hover ing about their boat. Even the ap pearance of the bigger Nunnally boat with Its propellers, failed to frighten the sharks away, and not until several heavy rifle bullets were fired Into them did they dis perse. Dempsey Insists there were no sharks about hls seaplane when It was rescued but there might have been plenty in the Immediate vicin ity. The outer waters along the coast are alive with sharks, barracuda and other big fish, and even a strong swimmer would have little or no chance of escape. Jack Demp sey Is a fair swimmer but is by no means a water champion. Other than that when Flrpo knocked him over ths ropes Demp sey has never taken an air flight before until the seaplane break down and perhaps he never will again.

Os All Events THIRD LEAGUE MOWING More Than Rumor Back Os Program, Foster Points Out. By JOHN B. FOSTER Copyright, 1924. The Casper Tribune NEW YORK. Jan. 22.—There’s more than rumor behind the reports that are going the rounds about a third major league in baseball. The ground has been surveyed, capital has been found, the mistakes of other promoters has been noted, the circuit Is to an extent mapped out, and some of the players must have heard what Is going on, for some of them have shown little desire to sign a contract for more than one year. The proposed new circuit will bring opposition Into cities of both present big leagues, and may dip also into the trio of the class AA leagues. Four western cities In which capitalists have Investigated and decided they could make a club pay are Detroit and Cleveland, which have American league clubs and Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, which are National league cities. The most sought after class AA is Kansas City but it Is doubtful if a club could be maintained there. What n new circuit would do In the east Is a question but there Is little reason to believe that New York, Boston, Brooklyn or Phila delphia would be touched by it. Baltimore probably would be wanted as it still craves big time baseball. Rochester and Buffalo would be acceptable, and Toronto and Washington might be con sidered.
