on the eve OF the clash Palmer
and Trembly were pronounced In
tiptop shape, and the rival man

w. u. Stacey for Trrmbly. gave out
the usual predictions OF victory.
These OF course may be accepted for
what they are worth Each man

either OF them thinks will have no
bearing whatever on the outcome
But the fact remains that no
fight IN the last several months has
presented such possibilities M this
one. Nor has there been one whore

Harry Greb In one OF tho reasons
why Trcmbly on dope figures 10
beat Palmer. In 1917 Greb and
Trembly we're IN the navy. and In
1917, by the way. Greb fought some
OF the best fights of his earlier ca
reer. Greb and Trembly met twice
In navy huuta. The first time Trem-
bly, outpointed tho jumping jack In
four rounds. The next occasion saw
Trembly winning over Crcb by a
technical Knockout. In the second
round he cut n terrible cash below
Greb's mouth which required s'~
stitches TO close and the Pittsburgher
was unable 10 continue. II was
called tehcnical knockout, hut
whatever ycu call II the big thing
was that Greb was rendered hors

was "a short time after this that
Trembly annexed the Atlantic fleet
championship by defeating Al
Wiring. the man who had won the
title by a victory over Greb.

New Englander's hands. Happy

Clark. Marty Cross, Walter Mohr
Happy Howard, Billy Ryan, Soldier
Bartfleld, Silent Martin and Jack
(Twin) sullivan are found there.
The record also shows that Trembly
has been defeated but once, that
time by Jackie Clark, but Il was
after losing a decision TO him that
TTembly turned the tables and won
over Clark.
Trembly also has won quite hit
OF prestige by taking on the tough

ness--and beating them. lie beat
Panama Joe Gaus a; time when
most white mlddleweights were side
stepping the black with braZon per-

knockout over Kid Norfolk last
year; Joe jeanette, and Eddie Nc
Intyre also are numbered among the
dusky battlers Trcmbly has beaten
Both Whipped Cans.

comparison can be drawn ms TO the
merits OF Palmer and Trcmhly n

feated him. Trembly did II twice,
