Charley might have looked like
hdonis before Greb started to work on
MN, put Mrs. Adonis would never have
recognized her son at the end of the
bout. 'A '"e
Greb fought one of his typical bat
ties, letting punches fly from every
angle every second. His favorite trick
was to rush in with both maulers

Weinert's face was puffed and bleed

Greb possessed a Knockout punch, the
crapehangers would have carried
Charley out feet first in the early pro-
ceedings. All Weinert's cIeverness de-
serted him as he tried to avoid Greb's
ceaseless punching. Greb weighed
1881 pounds and Weinert 1854.
Newark Boy Dropped Early
1t looked as early as the first round
as if "Adonis" was going to "do his
| stuff" because they hadn't been at it
more than a couple of minutes when
Weinert crashed on his back as Greb
landed a wild curling right swing to
the jaw. Had the punch landed an inch
or two lower all present might have
been home on hour earlier.
Charley stayed down for a five count
and went into clinch until the bell
sounded. There were several other
anxious moments for the Newark boxer
as he staggered under the unending
rain of punches, and each time the bell
came to his rescue
Weinert really did his best fighting
in the last four rounds, standing toe to
toe and swapping wallops
Inc hrst bout was an eight-round
affair between Charlie Beecher. 124
pounds, from Harlem's Ghetto, and
Pepper" Martin, son of old "Smoky"
Joe Martin, former fire chief,
weighing 123k. Pepper halls from the
unfortunate end of Brooklyn Bridge.
Beecher Defeats Martin
There was action, gobs of it, all
through this little festivity. The first
round was not completed before "Pep-

and Charley ran square into it and
then sat down on the floor, without
waiting for the formality of having a
chair busted off for him. He was soon
on his feet again and the round
finished in blaze of action.
The second round had not gone far
before Martin went to the mat partly
slipping and partly aided by a stiff
right to the jaw from Beecher. For
the rest of the fight the boys worked
hard, with Beecher using a fast left
jab and putting the right over when
ever he saw an opening. When the
judges gave Beecher the decision the
crowd was about evenly split by cheers
and boos.
Eddie Ohare, former amateur mid
dleweight champion, took all the hon
ors in his eight-round bout with vet
eran Hughie Walker, of Kansas City.
Walker satisfied everybody, includ-
ing O'Hare, that he was a regular
"cake eater" for assimilating punches.
Hugh's right eye was closed tight and
his mouth was cut and bleeding from
O'Hare's stinging left jabs and right
