Says Schlaifer
Deserved Draw
□ifNFI.TCTlN'U reports front I.ok
Angeles regarding the recent
Morrle Schlaifer Dode Bercot
fight tield |aat Friday night, which
went to Hereof on a referee's decision
at the end of iO hard rounds of fight
lug, hate proved food for argument
on Omaha's fight Rialto.
The following was written by Ed
Frayne, boxing expert of the Record
of I .os Angeles. Also the fight by
rounds of the Schlalfer-Hercot bout.
yefe's Frayne's account of the
fight.
From start to finish. Schlaifer was
the agglessor. Kercot boxed bis head
off In the first three rounds, but tin
pace told. Dode took as much ss he
sent from the fourth round on and
the Seattle lad was very fortunate to
weather the seventh. Schlaifer dazed
him with a right under the ear and
a stunning left to the jaw. Either
Schlatter's vaunted punch Is a myth
or else Hereof has made good under
the acid test. Dode certainly stood up
welt under a terrific hammering in
this session.
| Fight by Rounds
A DRAW would have been the
—proper verdi^S on the Dod*
Renot-Morrle Srhlaifer bout at
Hollywood Friday night, acrording to
the Record'* round by-round tabula
tion. Such a decision would have
given Schlaifer the rredit he was due
for his gams showing, and It would
have deprived Bercot of nothing. It
is quite a feat for a youngster to beat
such a seasoned old-timer as Schlai
fer. The Record gave four rounds
to Schlaifer, three to Bercot and
three even. Here* th* score and
why: a

Bercot doubled up wllh pain. Time tvae

SOME! month' ago Pauj Berlen
bach was headed for th» center
of the middleweight stage. He
had set up an Impressive record
against a mixed field of opponents.
Then .lack Delaney, socker ofcaome
fame, was picked a«<an opponent for
him. In view of Berlenhach's record.
Delaney was placed as sort of a ’’*e*
up." ,
When (he hout ended. Rerlenbarh
couldn’t set up—(or several seconds.
Herlenbach had to start hi* drive
all over again. Delaney drew much
attention for a time—until he, too,
was licked.
Then Tiger Flowers plunged to
the foreground by virtue of his
clever boxing and deadly punching.
The promoters offered him a hout
with Delaney and he look it—and
one on the jaw? Another swell start
ruined.
Knter Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo
and Niagara F'alls.
Slattery, up to a few night* ago
bad followed the footsteps of Berlen
bach and Flower" He had hung up
an Impressive record. H* was credit
ed With 59 fights snd knockout vic
tories in 21 of them Thirty-six were
decision victories. IlV had lost but
two decisions and had never been
knocked out.'
He had fought twice In New York
and the promoters decided he was
about readv to tackle Delaney, who
had become a sort of * testing block
for hopeful contenders for Harry
Grebe crown. Slattery was willing.
Some of hi* friends wept.
Delaney and Slattery met a few
nights ago.
Now Slattery’s tender age pre
vented the bout going more than six
round*.
I nder the New York rule* a mitt
pusher must be 21 to engage In long
hout*. Slattery'* adherent* claimed
he wa» olde enough lo vote, hut the
jolly birth records in Buffalo* city
Itali showed James was horn^Yu- ;
gust 25, 1904.
Delaney and hts backer* figured he
wouldn’t need fix round* to finish up
hi* evening * task. But at the end
of six rounds Mr James Buffalo Slat
tery was not only up. but doing the
majority of the lea'dins The judges
gave Slattery the decision on points
and the verdict was well received
Now. ha'lnt r*««'d the Delaney

of the young easterner.
And fewer middleweight* cringe
now when Jack Delaney says - woof

HE Western i- igoe club ow
I gt their annual schedule meet
ing at Excelsior Springs, Mo..
Monday, voted to award 1500 to the
club having the largest opening day
attendance. This Is something new
for the ol’ league. East season evi
dently was a goood season financially
for the team owners.
Before the IH'.'i season ended
great Imwls emerged from the vari
ous league rluh owners. Said howls
had lo deal with Ihe poor attend
ante at the ball games. The club
owners were yelling that everything
went out ill salaries to players and
nothing found way to the club cof
fers. ‘
We don't know the financial con
dltlon of each and every Western
league club owner, but we have been
told the league coffer is pretty well
filled at the present.
THE Buffaloes open the season
at Oklahoma City, April IS. Ok
lahoma City has a new ball park,
the largest in the league. The Indian
management can seat more fans stt^^^
fannettes in their park than ran the
Omaha and Denver rluh owners. In
spite of the fact that both Denver
and this city are larger than Okla
homa City.
Jarlt Holland, owner of the Okla
homa City rluh, probably had his
eye on- the attendance award when
he worked around to get the Buf
faloes to open In Oklahoma City.
The Buffaloes are, the 1914 league
champions and would be a big asset
to any team as a drawing card on
the opening day. Holland was on
the schedule committee.
Tulsa opens the Western league
season In Omaha against the Buffa
loes, April 29. There Is no reason
w hy Omaha should _allow towns like
Oklahoma City. Tulsa and St. Joseph
to outdraw Omaha on opening day
attendance. They did last season.
