ing attack.
Greb started In with his usual
eccentric style OF swinging, and
there were times during the night
when he literally dazed Tommy.
Gibbons punished Greb very Sc
verely about the body and seemed
TO be doing better from the tenth
round to the fifteenth. The judges
have their own way of arriving Al
their decisions, but from this
corner of the ring IL looked As
though Gibbons was defeated not
by Greb. but by the judges.
Greb was so wild that he must
have struck Glib twenty blows in
the middle of the back which he
intended to land somewhere in the
vicinity of Tommy's face. He near
ly wore the skin OF Gibbons hip
homes with wild clouts landing
there, which were aimed at Glib
n bons' ribs. Gibbons most eirec-

the body which occasioned great
occasions caused Harry to back
away gasping and wheezing.

seen in New York since boxing was
reinstated under the Walker law
nearly two years ago. and the vast
crowd at times shivered the timbers
OF the roof as waves of sound went
crashing up into the murky vault
around the top gallery.
The roomy old Garden seemed
like telephone booth by $40,
jammed with something like 1906
regular customers and by tenn
porary subscribers to the fght
game, lured downtown from the
haunts Of society to patronize a
charity shindy.
