J flsfirs. was knocked nut last night after 2 minute* and 36 seconds of fighting in the fourth round by Jark Delaney. The great Berlen barh bubble ia no mart. One moment it was there. The next It waa gone. That ia a habit com mon to bubbles, and Eerlenbach, with out taking any meed of credit from Delaney, proved to be nothing elaa. Ha had scored 23 or 26 straight knockouts, comptometers disagreeing on thla point, but buret with a faint “pop" upon meeting something sub stantial. Delaney waa faat. Too fast for Berlenbach, too experienced and al together too good, he left no doubt in the minds of some 13,000 of our beat people that the so-called “one punch man” has no place in the Ural flight of middleweight a now or perhaps at any other time. Rick ard ran abandon with all due haste any intention he may have had of building Berlenbach up for a match wifh Greb. A burst bubble ran never be used again. One must blow another or abandon thia engrossing pastime altogether. The Berlenbach boom is dead, but *■ Jack Delaney still lives. A clean hit ting, fast-stepping young' man, he earned hia chance at the title last night. Withering tho atorm of Eerien batha rush through tho first two rounds, the Bridgeport entry dropped Paul thrice In the next two rounde with right handers to the Jaw and the third time proved it. Still aston inshly game, Berlenbach got to hia feet after the final knockout, but was not among those present- His thoughts, if any, were elsewhere, and the referee did well to atop it pron to. Hands down, Jaw sagging va cantly and reeling aimlessly, it would have been senseless to permit another blow. Before fhe fight they said that De laney had a fragile Jaw. We saw no avMenre of It. Panl staggered him in the opening rush with a r'fght to tho Jaw, but Delaney came right back and earned the round with left Jabs and right crosses. Berlenbach hit him with everything in the second, and had him wear ing to hia corner at tho bell. The weak-jawed Individual staggered nur hero at the opening of the third and dropped him for a short rount with an overhead right. He won the light then and there. Midway through tho fourth Dela ney crossed with a terrific right to tho Jaw and it Was nothing short of a miracla that Berlenbach got up. Ha did, to his everlasting renown . Another right to tho Jaw a moment later snded It, although our young man managed to resumo the perpen dicular at tha count of sight. As bubbles go. sn unusually tough one but a bubble after all.
