II Pi LONG grade
school oagers an
nexed their third
straight city
basket hall cham
pionship yester
day afternoon on
rite Teenmoai
floor, when they
downed the fight
ins Lincoln five
by a :i6 to 11
count, in the fi
nals of The Oma
ha Bee grade
school tourna
ment. ^
The Long vic
tory was well
deserved, but the
colored boys from
the north side found the Lincoln ag
gregation a stubborn stumbling block
to their championship hopes.
Although outweighed and outplayed,
the South Siders were not outgamed.
They put up a great scrap, but their
huskier and taller opponents gradu
ally wore down their defense,
lanig Starts Right.
The Iking crew started out right
from the whistle to tuck the game
away, and a quartet of goals in
breath-taking rapidity In the first
minute of play made things look dark
for the Lincoln machine.
The Lincolnites called time out, and
the rest period seemed to work won
ders on the quintet, for they staged
a spectacular comeback, anil by vir
tue of a pair of hope-raising center
ringers, and a trio of free throws,
came within a brace, of points of the
Maroons. The first quarter ended
11 to 7 In Long's favor.
The Long scoring machine got
started in the second quarter, and
with Ware, lanky Long forward, tip
ping the leather in the hoop from
all angles, the Long five piled up 11
points. While their forwards were
amassing this score, the Maroon
guards were holding Lincoln score
lea*.
Lincoln Guards Well.
The Lincoln barricading machine
camped on the trails of the Long for
wards in the final period, holding
them to seven goals. Five of these
were charged up to Ware.
Lincoln's scoring In tills period was
confined to a cheer-producing, one
hand side toss by Margeson, and a
mid court ringer by Drozda.
Ware, elongated Long forward, was
the outstanding player of the game.
He played a great floor garde, while
his 10 field goals, and one free toss,
give him high scoring honors of the
fray. Lee and Love played good floor
games.
Divide Scoring Honors.
For the losers, the game qght of
Drozda, Kalman and Margeson fea
tured. Drozda and Margeson divide
scoring honors for the losers with
four points apiece.

EOKC.H BERNSTEIN. wlio
played with the Woodmen of
the World last season, is a
thrifty person as any who knows him
will acknowledge. "In all the years
that i have played seini-pro ball only
one time did I ever receive any tips
for extra base hits," exclaims the
hefty outfielder.
“About five years ago I was play
ing ill a tournament with the Ernie
Holmes team and in about the fifth
inning I knocked a three-base hit
that put our team in the lead.
"I returned to my position at third
base and with the second man for the
opposition up, some one threw a coin
near the bag that was intended for
me and when I left my position to
look for the tip the hatter drove one
past third base so fast that it rolled
out to the race track for a home run,
which eventually won the game for
his team.
"Now whenever the fans throw
anything my way, it must land in
front of me,” says George, "before
I will accept it."

Berlenbach to

Jack Delaney
ft
Victory Over Friday !\iglit"s
Opponent Will Put Him in
Line for Topnotchers of
His Class.
\\> shall see just what manner of
fighter this Paul Berlenbach really
is this week. The compiler of the al
together -emarkable record of 26 con
secutive knockouts will meet Jack
Delaney, a Connecticut middleweight,
at the Madison Square Garden KrI
day night. Delaney Is a pretty fair
fighter, far better than any of the lot
who have fallen victim to Jlerlen
bach's tremendous punch. He recent
!y decisively defeated Tommy Hough
ran. which Is something of an achieve
ment.
Berlenbach has gained nation-wide
fame as .the result of his quick vic
tories) over 17 or 18 amateurs and
8 or 0 professional boxers. None of
the men he met ranked near the top
of ihe fistic heap so some doubt still
exists as to whether or not Paul can
successfully rope with tile Queens
berry elite at tills early date. The
outcome of Berlenbach's joust with
Delaney wilt dispel this doubt; if he
can beat Jack. Paul will tie ready for
Grebs, Gibbons, Smiths and Tunneys
if not—well, It will he quite apparent
that the former wrestler needs much
more of that requisite of all fisti'
greats, experience.
Delaney seems to possess something
that all Berlenbach's previous prof'
sional opponents lacked—clevernes
He Is seemingly lacking, however, in
ruggedness. which was the forte of
Carbone Darcy and Fisher, who were
Paul's most recent victims.
Tlie writer saw Jack fight twice
G)i the first occasion he gave Bert
Colima, a coast middleweight of more
than ordinary ability, a terrific beat
ing. Indeed, if our memory can be
trusted. It seems that Delaney
stopped the jian Francisco Portu
guese.
On the next occasion Augle Ratner
knocked out the New Knglander in
one round. A right hand hook behind
the ear knocked Delaney as flat as
i* planked shad before the round of
vile opening bell had died out. Delaney
subsequently gained a 12-roun.l de
cision over Batner.
Young Fisher, recently stopped by
Berlenbach, once knocked out Delaney,
too. Fisher at the time was a pretty
rougti fellow, however, while Delaney
was a green kid. That Jack has im
proved Immensely is obvious; had he
not lie would never have beaten
Houghran.
Of course, the chances are Berlen
bach will stop Delaney for Jack has
not. apparently, a hard enough punch
to seriously bother Berlenliach. w here
as the latter will surely bring Jack
down if he connects squarely.

Dunbar High School Denies Report
Cagers Had No Coach at Tournament
Dunbar, Neb., March 1-.—The Lin
coln hnil Omaha daily papers carried
the news yesterday that the Dunbar
basket ball team attended the recent
state basket l»all tournament at Lin
coln wthout a coach and with some
of the players paying their own way.
and thus won the class C champion
ship. without having any coach or
funds, setting, those who know say. a
precedent. Huch was the subject
matter of said article appearing on
the stKjrt page of said dailies. Dunbar
docs not know how such a story was
circulated, but- it ;« absolutely up
true, founded on misinformation.
The Dunhar basket ball team has
and always has had a coach. This
year it w s in the person of Prof.
S. G. Oyler. « ne of the big upstanding
educate.!s and live basket bill coaches
ot southeastern Nebraska. It was
Sherm Oyler as coach who took the
»>unbHi* team to Peru a few* weeks
ago and won with his Dunhar team;
the cup for -outhc.istei n Nebraska
against such teams as Falls City, Au
burn, Plattsmoutli and Nebraska
Pity. It was Sherm Oyler who chap
eruned the Dunbar team to the state
tournament at Lincoln and giving
every minute «if his time to the needs
of the Dunbar team. Kvery membei i
o ft he Dunhar team had the sum of1
- I
i'20 in his p< « ket to pay expenses
when they entrained ofr Uncoin.
The Dunlwr business men also took
up ,n extra liberal purse for the
Dunbar t*>ys before they left in order
that they would have nmra than
enough to |«y their expenses. A* a
result the Dunbar hasket ball team
h.is ,i nice generous balance to its
credit here n tlie bank, as they have
| always had every year.
How such a report should gain ac
■ ess to the columns of the daily
papers is twyond understanding here.
The Dunbar beys are loud in their
praise of the treatment accorded them
Untolti. As matter of basket
I all rules no team Is allowed to enter
the tournament without a coach.
Coach Oyler of Dunbar was on the
job every minute
