Greb Was the Winner
While Greb did n backstep through
out. he was the winner-Oo, , la. la. by a
couple of rues and boulevards. But
Greh had no pink tea or anything like
that, by any means. Pctrosky kept
after Harry all the time he had Harry
doing a buck and wing. Texas Tommy
minuet and shimmy combined. Greb had
to do all of these and do them we'll in
order to keep out of the way of the
native sons fusillade of Frog T5s, Nank

And in the meantime Greb pcppercd.

with shower of jabs, hooks, swings,

wallops landed only lightly on the on 70

Greb. probably tired of his marathon
tactics. stood fiat footed, took perfect
aim and let fly hefty haymaker. An
ordinary boxer would have catapaulted
to the mat. Pete isn't ordinary
though-he's tougher than the ordinary
something inhuman, like leather, OF
something.
a hard wallop on the jaw or head
made Petrosky fight all the harder, al
the more vicious, and Greb was forced
to step all the faster. 1t wasn't what
a lover of scientific boxing would rave
about. vet the unusual exhibition. 4

Eddie McAndrews so outclassed Leo
