Harry Greb. the Pittsburgh middle
weight, fighting like catamount, ad-
nlnistered a severe beating to Charley
Weinert in Madison Square Garden last
night. Concedlng fifteen pounds 70 the
Newark Adonis. Greb carried the fight
to his larger opponent in every round OF
the contest
Greb barely missed knocking out
Weinert in the first round. He sent
the Jerseyman to the canvas with
shower of blows, and had him dazed and
reeling about the ring. BY dint of
clinching and hugging Weinert managed
TO get to his corner with only a count OF
i've against him.
Weinert seemed to lose heart after the
lSnockdown and barring an occasional
flash of aggressiveness he made sorry
showing. He demonstrated that as a
contender for the light-heavyweisht
crown he is a decided failure. Despite
MS boasted training and good physical
care Weinert seemed short OF vitality
and slowed to a walk under the tornado
attack of his rugged opponent
Greb never ceased his combative tao
tics from the first gong to the last.
Although he scaled but 1853 pounds TO
ia by Weinert the Pittsburgher's at
tack swept the big man off his feet and
took ali the fight out OF him. Greb's per-
formance shows that he must be con-
sidercd when the light-heavy honors are
being disposed OF.
While Greb il not 80 accurate at hit
tee as he might be. his speed and COM
bativeness makes him dangerous at
every stage of the game. The bout as
a whole was marred by the unwilling
ness or inability of Weinert TO make a

Greb~ opened the battle in cyclonic
fashion, rushing Weinert all over the
ring. swinging terrific rights and Iefts
at the Newark Adonis. Weinert was
strictly on the defensive and used his
feet well. Yet many OF the hard shots
landed and Weinert seemed TO feel
weary! Shortly before the bell ended
the first round Greb sent Weinert reel
ing with heavy right swing to the
head and then battered him to the floor
with shower Of heavy shots. Weinert.
iazed. took the count os five and when
he arose Greb pounced on him like a
tiger. Weinert was in distress when the
welcome bell sent him to his corner.
Greb was the aggressor in the second
round. but Weinert escaped serious
damage by using his feet.
Greb battered Weinert all about the
ring IN the third round. and, with heavy
swings and uppercuts, had the Jersey
man tired at the bell.
weinert freshened bit in the fourth
and returned some OF Greb's punches

The fast pace set by Greb slowed his
rival in the fif.n, but he had much the
better OF theexchances
Greb gave Weinert a terrific thump
ing IN the sixth. pounding him all about
the ring. but failing TO drop him.
Greb repeated the rnauling in the
seventh. but Weinert still kept on his
feet
weinert was the receiver OF all the
punches in Greb's repertoire in the
eighth and, while Weinert seemed weak
and was entirely on the defensive. he
maintained a perpendicular position.
The ninth was repetition OF the eighth.

sive on few occasions.
Weinert received another severe
pummeling in the tenth and seemed TO
have become accustomed 20 IL. He
showed fight in the eleventh and mixed
II merrily with the Pittsburgher. to the
delight of the onlookers.
Greb was furiously aggressive in the
twelfth and landed somewhere on Wei
merit with every blow he launched. The
final three rounds were without special
features.
