BEMBJCH WII1S REFEREE DECISION Stribling, Though Bested in Nearly- Every Round, Lasts Until End Meets Robin Reed Here Saturday YANKEE STADIUM, New York, Jnne 10. (By Associated rrejjs.) -Paul Berlenbach easily beat back the challenge ot W. L. Young) Stribling for the world's light heavyweight title tonight, battering the young Georgian Into decisive defeat in a 15-round con test that fell far from the spec tacular heights expected of it. A crowd of "55,000 saw the bronzed, rugged champion give Sttibling an unmerciful pounding almost from start to finish, forcing the battle In nearly every round and piling up a margin on points that made the judges' decision at the finish a mere formality. Stribling. flashy and confident by comparison with Berlenbach'g plow maneuvering at the start, got away impressively in the first three rounds, but a smashing left hook, planted just over the heart, brought him up short in the fourth round. That punch, abruptly checking a headlong rush by the Georgian; really was the deciding factor as well as the turnirg point. After it, Stribling seemed bereft of his usual speed and agility. He was a -mark for Berlenbaeh's " pile driving rights and lefts to the body. Jiixed with hooks to the head that had the southern youth groggy in at least four of the clos ing rounds the sixth, 10th, 12th and lUh. Fighting on the defensive for the last rounds, except for one ttashing rally. in the' ninth, Strib ling resorted to all his tricks and tactics to stave off Berienbach's steady rushes and punishing blows. The Georgian clinched, held, pushed and shoved the champion about n his efforts to block, Ber ienbach's blows or save himself from a knockout. The title hold er, himself a former amateur wrestling champion, met Strib liugs roushnesa with a brand of his own tr.at enabled him to keep bhooting at the Georgian's chin and ribs. " The almost continual grappling in which apparently all the holds :n the catch-as-catch-can category were used, not only made the bout a big disappointment to those vTho had expected a thrilling encounter but stirred the resentment of a big bulk of the fans who booed Stribling throughout the last half jt the fight and jeered as he left the ring. Berler.bach triea hard to score a knockout. He had Stribling m full, retreat a .good share . of tfte time and connected solidly on occasion but not suf ficiently to get the Georgian down. . Stribling was groggy when .he went to hie corner in the fourth and again In the sixth he reeled under the ii-pact of Berienbach's smashing lefts to the body and jaw. The tenth saw the Georgian again in a bad way. He grabbed Uerlenbach about the waist to keep from slipping to the floor af ter, taking a terrific pounding. In these critical Junctures Stribliijg's experieuce and shiftiness saved him even though most of his speed was gone. He clung to his rival in the clinches with a grip that had the referee, Jim Crowley, al most exhausted in his efforts to pry them apart.
