GREB WINS FROM
SMITH ON POINTS
Pittsburger Has Best of SeUen
Out of Ten Rounds.

Special Despatch TO TIE New YORK HErALr.
PI1TsBURG. Dec 25.--Harry Greb of
Pittsburg added another victory to his
list this afternoon when he defeated JEFF
Smith of Bayonne. n. j.. in a ten round
bout. 1t was a gruelling fight that both
men seemed eager TO end with a knock
out. Greb was on top OF his man all
the time and used his lightning-like left
hand In effective fashion.
Smith was slow in comparison to his
agile opponent. and was content to stand
in the middle Of the ring while Greb was
dancing about him. Greb was too clever
in his long distance boxing. and man
aged to keep Smith away from inside
work. in which he excelled.
Several times the Bayonne boy got
Greb against the ropes and. holding with
one arm. shot over hard jolts to the ribs
and stomach. Greb retdliated with blows
to the head and face.
In only three rounds-the sixth. eighth
and tenth-was Smith able to make a
showing. and Greb took the other seven
rounds

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
NEWARK. n. j., Dec. 25.--Young Bob
Fitzsimmons, son of the late heavy
weight champion of America. stopped
Jim Monahan of New York in the fourth
round OF a scheduled twelve round bout
at Olympic Park here to-day. Fitzslm-
mons hammered Monahan hard for four
rounds. Referee Danny Sullivan finally
stepping between the scrappers and
stopping the bout after Monahan had
taken a count of nine.
Fitzsimmons in the initial round usei
only a left jab. but after that he mixed
this with heavy left and right hooks
to the face and body.
Monahan was bleeding from the nose
and mouth when the bout was stopped.
He stood UP we'll under the terrific beat
ing he received.
Monahan's sister, brother and fiancee
were at the ringside, and the latter
wept as Monahan was being punished.

Climate Damp, Courts slow.

A good deal has been said of the
damp New Zealand climate and its pos
sble injurious effects on the condition
Of the Americans. 1T also has been
pointed out that the comparatively slow
courts in New Zealand. made so by
the heavier turf and frequent rain, will
mitigate against the chances of the
Americans, who delight in the high
bound and the fast driving game. How
ever. devotees Of the sport IN this coun-
try are so sure that in Tilden and
Johnston they have the leading two
players In the universe they are look
ing forward confidently to a more or
less decisive victory. They are figur-
ing strongly on past performances--a
rather risky basis of calculation, for ten
mis- Is replete with upsets-but at least
it is comforting TO know that within
the last two seasons Tilden has beaten
both Brookes and Patterson without
much trouble, that Johnston has tri-
umphed over Patterson and that to-
gether they hold one victory over
Brookes and Patterson in doubles. Suf-
fice il to say that IL the present invad-
ing tennis team fails 10 bring the cup
back to America followers Of the sport
in this country will give up the prac-
tice of picking winners for all time.
An examination of Davis Cup tennis
history shows that sixty-eight players
representing nine nations have partici-
pated in the event England has been
represented by eighteen players. United
States by seventeen and Australasia by
ten. Individual honors are held by
Brookes, who out Of an aggregate OF
forty-four matches has thirty-six vic
tories 20 his credit. The American in
dividual leaders are William a. Larned
and Maurice f. Mclaughlin. each OF
whom played in twenty matches. Larned.
however scored thirteen victories TO
McLoughlin's twelve.

Simler, who kept his feet on the floor

sion he hit Tender low in a wild effort
to beat back his rib crushing blows.
Later. in the fifth round, Simler, wab-
bly,, groggy and minus all sense of direc-
tion, again hit Tender low. Although
Peferee Slim Brennan apparently saw
both foul punches, he allowed the bout
to continue at the request of Tender.
In the seventh round Tender battered
Simler all over the ring and Brennan
stopped the bout.
From the first clang of the gong
Tender outclassed Simler. The Scran-

Australians Have Still to Name
Davis Cup Defenders
Play Starts Tuesday.
BY SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

With the Davis cup challenge round
only two days OFF. no word has been
received from Australia as yet as 10 the
probable makeup of the defending team
in singles and doubles The only GER
tainty is that Gerald Patterson is the
first choice OF the Australaslans in sim
giles and viii appear in at least two
matches for the Antipodeans. Who the
other singles player Is to be or just
which pair Norman f. Brookes will Sc
lect for the doubles title remains a mys-
terry.
A week or two ago IL was gathered
from stray bits Of news that came to
this country that Norman e. Brookes
practically had decided to confine his
efforts to doubles. figuring that Austria
las only hope of victory rested on taxi
Ing that all important match. The log
ical thing to expect was that Brookes
would team in doubles with Patterson.
with whom he won the American doubles
championship in 1919. Such was the
opinion OF the Australian critics at the
time.
1t appears now, however. that the Au-
strallan writer's were rather hasty in
their judgment. A reconsideration Of
the situation following the matches be-
tween victoria ana New south wales
late last month led to the opinion that.
despite the splendid showing OF j. o.
Anderson or youthful Jack Hawkes., 1t
might be inadvisable to entrust the task
Of the cup defence upon the shoulders
Of players of such comparative inexperi-
ence Tennis opinion in Australia ap-
pears TO lean toward the selection of
both Brookes and Patterson for singles
and Pat OHara Wood and j. r. Hawkes.
for doubles. The latter pair have played
together impressively in important Au-
stralasian tournaments. The critics are
nclining to the belief that Brookes. with
his remarkable skill and great expert
ence, would stand n better chance
against Johnston or Tilden in singles
than either Anderson or Hawkes..

Hawkes. Promising.

Anderson IL the player who triumphed
oy "a Lowe and lost to kingscote of the
british team i'm the last Davis cup chal-
lenge round. lie is an aggressive player.
whose forte is driving game that
strongly resembles our own Billy john
ston, but it is understood that he has
not been in the best of health of late
and is scarcely fitted for an interna-
tional series of matches. Hawkes. is the
youngster who in Australian tourna
ments this season scored two victories
over Brookes. OF the latter, Austral
writes in the Sydney Referee:
He has proved his ability in no un-
mistakable manner the only doubt about
him being as to whether he is able to
stand the necessary strain OF five set
match. He has the necessary attributes
of a Davis Cup player--a cool head and
brains for tennis second only TO Nor
man Brookes and the late Arthur
O'Hara Wood
Speaking of Brookes Austral says
His form Gin the Nictorlan-New South
Wales matchea) indicates that he Is
again at his top His services are
stated to have been harder to take than
those of Patterson. he had got back all
his old sting and was playing better
than for years 1t would seem almost
possible that he may be able to play In
the singles in the Davis Cup matches.
A good guess, however is that Patter-
son and Hawkes. will be selected for the
opening days singles. that Brookes and
Patterson will play I'm doubles and that
on the final day IL will he Patterson and
either Brookes or Hawkes., depending on
how well the latter succeeded in his first
match.
No official announcement has been
made as to the final selection of tho
American players. but it is scarcely
necessary. Unless illness prevents II
will be surprising indeed IL the entire
task does not devolve upon Billy Tilden
and Billy Johnston. This pair swept all
before them in the Davis Cup prelimina-
ries against the French and English and
