Greb Not Afraid to Fight
Dempsey After Mauling
Battling Levinsky in Ring

Buffalo, n. Y, Feb. 17.-Harry
Greb, Of Pittsburgh. scored a de-
cisive victory over Battling Levin
sky, of New York, in a ten-round
bout here last night. Greb carried
the lighting to oLevinsky. all the way.
Levinsky weighed 175, Greb 1641a.
"You can just make it as strong
as you want will let Greb fight
Dempsey at any time or place If
they make 1T worth our while" said
James Mason. manager of Harry
Greb. after the fight.
'Greb Will never run away from
dempsey. In fact. not SO long ago
when Greb scored his second victory
over Battling Levinsky at PhiladeI-
phia in a siX-round bout, it was an
nounced from the ring that Harry's
next opponent in Philadelphia
would be Dempsey. We signed for
such bout. but Dempsey never did.
or course, Dempsey has kayo wal
lop, but SO have other men Greb
has faced. They never were able to
hurt him though, and he always has
found this type Of fighter easiest to
best.
"fhe answer is simple. X heavy
must needs get set to do the dam
age and he slows himself up. Greb
makes punching bag out of a slow
man and gives him no chance to
come back effectively. The case of
Tommy Robson at Cleveland recent
~ illustrates my point.
"I am not saying that Dempsey
might not polish off Greb quickly
but I doubt if he can do it, and
am willing to bet my house and
home that if Harry gets through the
first two rounds he will clean up
the ring with Dempsey"

Want COrbeH or JeffrieS
to Referee Big Fight

/ York, either Bill Brown or Jack
Skelly will be the third man in the
ring. Should the big bout not be
fought in the East neither Brown
nor Skelley stand much of chance
of being selected as referee"
Tex would not be pinned down re-
garding his probable choice. He was
wary even of mentioning any of the
candidates for fear his remarks
might be misunderstood. What he
did say was:
Local sentiment will have to fig
ure largely in the selection OF the
third man. If the bout should be
held in New York I naturally would
feel called upon to select a man in
whom the New Workers who would
provide the bulk of the attendance,
have implicit faith. Vice versa, If
it is decided to hold the contest in
Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Colorado. Connecticut or some other
state; local opinion is bound to exert
a big influence on me.
"Of course the main thing will be
to have the contest Judged by a man
in whom the whole sporting world
will hvae faith. There are several
nationally renowned and dependable
referees scattered about the country.
In case the bout should take place
in locality not boasting a referee
of national prominence of course 1
will have to draw from the outside.
Already 1 have had more than
forty applications for permission to
referee the bout. Some of the cam
didates are exerting all kinds of in
fiuence and pressure on me to en-
courage and force their selection.
Why, only yesterday I received let
ter from one of the most powerful
men politically in the country asking
me not to overlook a certain friend
of his, a well known referee"

PROTECTION FOR
CITY FOODSTUFFS
Health Regulations K e.
quires Screening Of Edlbles

MEDICAL INSPECTION
OF STATE SCHOOLS

Members Of the State Board Of Health
at meeting held here on Thursday az
ternoon adopted twenty regulations,
which made sweeping changes In the
health rules Of This State. The act OF
the Legislature last May, granting the
board wider powers made II possible
for these changes
Under This act the State Board has
the right 10 impose a fine Of $50 on any
local Health Board or individual who
refuses TO comply with It's resula-
tions.
The most drastic measure adopted
and ono which II is thought will be op-
posed by meat and produce dealers, Is
that requiring protection Of all food
supplies from flies and dirt. This dea
has been advocated by the city Board
Of Health for years. The regulation
passed on Thursday relating to this sub
iect says:
Resolved, That no person shall dis
play for sale any OF the following ar
ticlcs Of food unless the same are COM
.pleiely protected by suitable coverings
from flies. dust and dirt, and all other
contamination; prepared fOodstuns'
such as bakery goods. confectionery
sheHed nuts. etc: dried fruits; cereal
products: picked products; fruit prod
ucts. such as iellies, jams, etc; meat
products. such as veal loaf chipped
beef, mince-meat. salted OF 7 smoked
hsh. or other foods prepared for eating
or subject TO the attacks Of worms or
iies; and be II further
Resolved. That no person shall dis
play or expose for sale any fruit. Vege-
tables meats or any other food prod
ucts on the sidewalk or outside OF any
store. unless upon stands at least ts
inches above the ground nor unless
such foods are completely protected by
suitable coverings from flies. dust and
dirt and other contamination; provided
that vegetables and fruits which are
necessarily cooked or whose outside
surface is usually removed before be
Ing eaten need no be covered.

any form or organ whatsoever is here
10y added 10 the list OF diseases that
must be reported 10 the State Board
cf Health by the attending physician
within twelve hours after a diagnosis
hos been made.
The other regulations calls for med
ical inspections at all schools: annual

MANY WOMEN HELD
ON P.R.R.
Company Says There is
Tendency to Increase
Number of Females
1000 ON PAYROLL
g MONTHS AFTER WAR

The June chart OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad giving the distribution by oc-
cupatiOns OF the women employees,
shows that six months after the ending
Of the war many women are still re-
tanned in positions which. q couple OF
wears ago. were considered suited only
10 men. Turntable and crane opera
tors machinists. electrician and tin
smith helpers. chemists, wstchwomen
and drsftswomen, are still included on
the lists.
Last month the Pennsylvania lines
east had more than 5000 women on
their payrolls. OF whom more than two
thirds were clerks. .stenographers and
TWISTS. the other third being workers
holding positions which were formerly
considered as being able to be filled only
by men.
A general reduction in the number OF
employees is very carefully explained as
due rather 10 the lack OF work than
the inefficiency OF women workers.
The greatest number OF reductions Is IN
the class OF storeroom attendants and
OF stenographsrs and clerks, in which
positions women have a recognized ef-
nciency.
In the new occupations there is a
tendency 10 increase rather than re-
duce the number Of women employees.
During May light car repairwomen and
helpers were added and five machine
hands were taken on in the Pittsburgh
division.
There are 1872 telegraph operators.
100 signal women and 2i5 watchwom-
en- at crossings. This large number OF
women in positions Of responsibility
would indicate that they have proved
their accuracy, cool-headedness and
dependability-
one woman chemist is on the list OF
5000 employees and there are six labor
atory assistants. Draftswomen number
twenty-siX.
The effect OF modern machinery is
shown in the fact that physical
strength is required to operate a crane
or a turntable. The railroad employs
six crane operators and five turnt9ble
operators.
Among the new occupations Of May
were stock and machine hands Five
machine hands were taken on and
three stockwomen were added 10 the
lists
There are twelve leverwomen. seven
machinists and one car checker. One
woman is a helper 10 a boilermaker,
four women are electrician helpers,
twelve machine helpers three tinsmith
helpers and three mechanic helpers.
No change 10 these last figures were
made during the month The women
are evidently making good in their
newly elected positions.
