GREB THOUGHT
To BE NEXT HEIR
TOM|DDLE TITLE
Indications Are For Bout With
Johnny Wilson Early
Next Month.

NEW YORK, Dec. SIT looks az
II the middleweight championship
was about to change hands. Any.
way, every indication il that Johnny
Wilson, present champion, will meet
Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh Bearcat.
in a fifteen-round bout to q decision
here early next month. The con-
sensus Of opinion is that Greb will
hand Johnny stiff lacing and
annex the crown.
The match virtually was clinched
yesterday when Wilson and Tex
Richard got together over the tele-
phone and Johnny agreed to meet
Greb. A fortnight ago Harry de-
clared that he was so anxious to get
crack at the middleweight cham
pionship that he would fight Wilson
for nothing. No hitch is expected
from the Greb end. Martin Killelea,
Wilson's manager, left Boston last
night and will meet Richard today.
killelea, it Is expected, will attach
his John Hancock to a contract.
The sporting world practically is
unanimous that II Greb can make
the weight and be strong-and Harry
says he can do 1t easily-the Pitts
burgh Bearcat will tear the crown
from Johnny's DOME
EVERY OOXln8 IAN also KNOWS tnat
Greb Is the one man who can make
Wilson fight. Johnny can do no
clinching and stalling with Greb.
Harry's rapid-fire attack will keep
Johnny buster than a pup bird dog in
a briar patch. Whether or not Will
son retains the title Johnny will
have to fight for his life.
A victory by Greb will be a great
boost for boxing. Harry Ia of the
type which makes an ideal champion.
He 10 ready at all times to box, and
whenever ne does box invariably
gives all that Is in him.
Incidentally Wilson's friends insist
that 1t will be q new Wilson who will
box Greb. Johnny realizes the mis-
takes he has been making" said a
friend of his last night. He thought
the big thing to do was to hang on to
the title regardless Of anything else.
Now he realizes that a champion
must deliver the goods the same a.
anyone else. And don't you think
Johnny can't deliver the goods when
he has to. II you think Greb IL
going to have any cinch with him
you are making the mistake Of your
life"
