Third base is still to be filled. BERLENBACH GETS 25TH KNOCKOUT (By Davis J. Walsh) (L. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 29.—Paul Berlenbach scored his 25th straight knockout at Madison Square Garden last night and the local peasantry which hitherto has been disposed to rave about him, turned right around and raved at him. They didn't seem to care for Paul's performance. In fact, it was the sense of the meeting that justification was with Berlenbach's manager in refusing to let him frolic with first raters at this immature moment Fighting as he did last night, he couldn't beat the second raters. Collaborating with Paul in last night's business was Young Fisher, of Syracuse, a young man with 130-POUND TEAM GRABS ANOTHER "Gee, it was easy," stated Lawrence Sweeney after the basketball game between Anaheim and Elsinore, 130-pounders at Ontario last evening. Coach Sutherland's charges cleaned up 35 to 13. The local lads are now seeking other teams to conquer. Elsinore is eliminated from further effort for So. Calif. honors. The prettiest team work, both offensive and defensive, was used by A. H. S. the players and the large court proved an advantage to the Mother Colony lads. The victorious unit scored 20 digits in the first half, the majority thru the efforts of Captain Merlin Swarthout. The captain was the star shooter of the game and played well on the defense, too. Dargatz, the center supreme, stepped out of his calling and added 10 points to those collected. Giss played a perfect game, not being over rough. Giss tears after the ball and usually gets it but is called down sometimes for over-guarding. There was not a foul registered against him yesterday. Coach Sutherland used his entire string, giving all a chance in the last quarter. These lads are now entitled to win a letter and sweater. When far in the lead, everyone had a chance to shoot for the goal and kept their team work in perfect running order. Elsinore played a clean game and took their defeat like good sports. It was one of the best games of the season. Anaheim will learn Monday who the next match will be with. The support of the student body and the patrons of the school helped win the game. There were over 100 local rooters. Many of the towns peoples donated their cars to take the fans to the melee. Hall of Chaffee high school referred... straight knockout at Madison Square Garden last night and the local peasantry which hitherto has been disposed to rave about him, turned right around and raved at him. They didn't seem to care for Paul's performance. In fact, it was the sense of the meeting that justification was with Berlenbach's manager in refusing to let him frolic with first raters at this immature moment fighting as he did last night, he couldn't beat the second raters. Collaborating with Paul in last night's business was Young Fisher, of Syracuse, a young man with a clinging arm and a none too prepossessing appearance. We are almost certain that Fisher is not the man they use in collar ads. He passed out, peacefully after 24 seconds of the sixth round from a left hook to the stomach, uttering meanwhile plaintive cries of foul. Fisher wasn't fouled. If is the writer's idea that he, Fisher, wasn't badly hurt. The knockout punch was the second of two real punches Berlenbach landed during the fight. The first of these came in the fifth round, Berlenbach stepping around from behind Fisher to score with a right hook to the jaw. The up-state entry retained the perpendicular under this punch but went down heavily the next moment when Berlenbach missed his jaw with a terrific left uppercut. The rest of the action was non-active. For this, Fisher was largely to blame. After making a commendable effort in the first two rounds with a species of clowning that seemed to have Berlenbach confused he spent the remainder of his time in the ring firmly clasping Berlenbach's right and turning the latter around in such a way as to prevent him using his other hand. To these tactics, Berlenbach had no visible reply and it became apparent early that the local knockout sensation is only at home with those who will stand toe to toe with him and slug. The exhibition was not one that is calculated to increase Berlenbach's box office popularity which has been nothing short of tremendous. Perhaps a few less knockouts and a little more real fighting will react with more beneficial results on the young man's very promising career. That at any rate, is the opinion of 12,847 cash customers who hooted the occasion roundly and left the hall shaking doleful heads at what they had seen. GIRLS' B. B.

Boston Blackie Real Character If it had not been for the historic fire which wrapped the old San Francisco in disaster in April, 1906, the famous "Boston Blackie" stories, written by Jack Boyle, former newspaper man, and upon which the new Cosmopolitan picture, "Through the Dark," is founded, probably never would have been written. The role which Forrest Stanley plays in "Through the Dark," a picturization of Boyle's story, "The Daughter of Mother McGinn," featuring Colleen Moore, is patterned after a real character, encountered by Boyle during the tragic days in 1906 when desolation swept old Frisco. Boyle was covering the disaster for the San Francisco Examiner when, in the midst of ruins he spotted a strange trio. A man seated with two tiny children. He was improvising a doll from a strip of cloth. As he fashioned his crude toy, the hand of a 3-year-old girl clutched his coat. At his feet, a 5-year-old boy played with a wooden soldier that he had salvaged from the debris. Boyle knew the man to be the most expert safe cracker in the country, but one against whom the police had nothing to warrant his arrest. With safes wide open and the unguarded treasures of the city's unfortunate populace beckoning to looters, this notorious safe robber was lightening the burden of two waits.

LOWER VOTING AGE OF BRITISH WOMEN LONDON, Feb. 29.—A bill reducing women's voting age from 39 to 21 years passed the house on the second reading this afternoon. It probably will be enacted into law, as it has the support of the labor government. The law will put women voters upon absolute equality with men. WOMAN HEADS CAMPAIGN FOR JAPANESE RELIEF Missa Jane Scott. Miss Jane Scott, associate general secretary of the National Japanese Y. W. C. A., is in the United States to assist in raising a fund of $250,000 for replacing the association's buildings in Tokyo and Yokohama. He was improvising a doll from a strip of cloth. As he fashioned his crude toy, the hand of a 3-year-old girl clutched his coat. At his feet, a 5-year-old boy played with a wooden soldier that he had salvaged from the debris. Boyle knew the man to be the most expert safe cracker in the country, but one against whom the police had nothing to warrant his arrest. With safes wide open and the unguarded treasures of the city's unfortunate populace beckoning to looters, this notorious safe robber was lightening the burden of two waifs. It was this strange sight that led Boyle to speak to the man. Boyle learned that the crook had taken the children, orphaned by the fire, under his wing and was amusing them to keep their minds off the tragedy which had befallen them. As the days went by Boyle and the crook became we acquainted. It was from this man that Boyle learned many of the facts of crookdom that he later weaved into his famous "Boston Blackie" stories. This man is also the original of the role in which Forrest Stanley will appear in "Through the Dark," which opens the week-end engagement at the California today. POTEGIAN MURDER CASE WITH JURORS FRESNO, Feb. 29.—Indications today were that Mrs. Eliza Potegian, charged with having poisoned her stepdaughter Margaret, will know her fate from the hands of the jury late today or tomorrow. Dramatically reciting a tale of despair because she had failed to receive a larger portion of her husband's estate, her need for money and her inability to keep vineyard laborers at work. Margaret took the stand in her own behalf. She denied having placed a "curse" on the Potegian family but admitted having placed ant poison in okra stew, with a view of ending her own life and poisoning her two stepchildren. She denied all other poison charges. The defense contends that ant powder was not of such a nature as to have caused the death of Margaret Potegian. Naughtiness is comparative. Even the ladies who light up after dinner frown on those who get lit up after dinner.
