Greb Wins Ouer
 Smith By Trick,
 Says Lichenstei
By JAMES J. coRBETT

Larney Licheustein explains the knock out defeat of Gunboat Smith by Henry Greb in this fashion:
 "Greb jamrned his glove-encased thumb into the eye of Smith, blinding him tenn porarily, and then spilled the sightless Gunner for the count =
 Greb, on the other hand, declares:j
 q didn't jamb my thumb into Smith s eye at ali. I hit him in the eye with everything I had, then I hit him in a few other places. Smith went down ani was counted out"
 EYE IN BAD SHAPE
 The fact is indisputable that after the fight Smiths eeye was in such a shape that forI some time it was feared he might lose it's sight permanently. Ex- animation by physicians. forced the con- viction that a punch could hardly have caused the injury, that only a tanning of a finger or gloved thumb into the eye could have brought about such a condition. Whether Greb purposely damned his thumb into Smiths eye or not is a question that always will be debated. Lichtenstein has this to say:
 My observation of Greb's record con yinces me that he resorts whenever he can to such tactics. It is not permitted under the rules and the referees should watch him closely. I have been told that he worked this trick on Bill Brennan and several other fighters, but never in- flicted such serious injury he did in the case of Smith. He came on the Gunner squarely in the right eye and nearly ruined that eye for the rest of Smiths life"
 AN OLD TRICK
 Jamming the thumb into the eye of a rival boxer is an old ring trick which has not been practiced with any fre- quency since gloves came into existenece In the days when London prize ring rules governed, and men fought with their fists. practically every fighter train ed in gouging Any time that a war rior could stick his finger or thumb into the eye of an opponent he was almost sure of victory then and there, because such action usually blinded his foeman.
 It was because many fighters were blinded temporarily in those days and suffered excruciating agony from having thumbs damned into the eye, that the new rules for boxing were very plain on the point of gouging. It Is regarded as to jam thumb into the eye of another fighter But, strangely enough, there have been few disqualifications on this ground. This is due largely to the fact that it is extremely difficult to prove that fighter deliberately damned his thumb into the eye of another Of course, if he does it once and later repeats it, malice in the action can be proved. But if it happens only once it can be con- sidered an accident.

MARKET FIRM.

New York, July 24-The brief ses- sions of the stock market today was dull but firm in most essentials events over night inducing short COW erings. Cables offered hope of early settlement of the situation in central Europe and this was reflected in the better tone of foreign exchange. The usual speculative favorites led an early irregular advance, especially oils, steels and several of the high grade equipments. Later pressure against some secondary automobile issues, notably Maxwell and Hupp, caused a setback in which gains among industrials were materially re- duced The closing was steady. Sales approximated 175,O00 shares.
 The actual condition of clearing houses banks and trust companies for the weeks shows that the reserve held is $4,276,520 below legal require ments This is a decrease of $33.- 512,650.

CHECKING UP ON
 MOTOR BOATS

One of the U. s. revenue cutters of the Department of Commerce paid visit to the local harbor yesterday afternoon and spent a good while in checking up on motor boats to see if they were living up to the regulations governing this kind of craft. Fol- lowing the investigation a report Is made to Washington and if any de1in- Quents are found the local Department of Commerce is notified and the de- Hnquent parties are brought up to answer to charges.
 Some of the regulations that are more often broken by motor boat owners are the lack of enough and proper life saving equipment, the failure of owners to number all un- documented vessels, pilot rules and the lack of fire extinguishers.
