When Harry Greh, the human
windmill from darkest PittsburSh,
finished throwing flock of gloves
in the general direction of Gene Iun-
ney and thus won the light heavy.
weight championship OF the Unlltu
States, he announced to the foloW-
ers of fistic activities that he would
defend the title against every man
who Is considered a worthy ChdI-
leuger. He also stated that he eN-
meets ultimately To meet Georges car
pentier for tho worlds Hight heavy
weight crown and then tackle Jack
Dempsey who holds the highest po-
sition among pugillsts - that OF
heavyweight champion OF the world.
Greb's fret Soc Is Fay Kaiser OF
Baltimore. They clash in sched-
uled l0-round nout in Pittsburgh
Monday night, which Is the OUT
standing feature of "A good, but not
large fistlc. program for the current
week. Kaiser Is good enough that
ne gave Bob Martin one beating ana
has won lot OF other bouts against
big men. lie is not much larger than
Greb, but isn't clever enough to beat
the dumping Jack with a thousand
gloves" unless he has improved
greatly In the past six months. This
Ia unlikely because of his inactivity.
There is possibility that the bout
will be poatponed, as II is an open
air affair and weather is somewhat
uncertain,
Should Beat Carpenter.
jsreb's ambition is "A worthy one
but he may be taking In too mucn
territory when he says'he expects 10
hold both the light heavyweight and
heavyweight titles before he decides
20 toss his padded mittcns into the
attic and forget about the hemped
arena. 1t is the opinion, however,
of most competent critics that he
can relieve Carpenter of the crown
ne took from tho brow OF Batting
Levinsky shortly before no met
Dempsey year ago ana was so
Boundly beaten.
Before meeting Carpenter Greb
will be kept very busy, because 1t is
doubtful If there Is a fighter in the
world who has more opponents.
Greb Is in the cnviablc position OF
being able to box in two divlsionS-'-
the middle weight and the one in
which hy Is king as Tar as this coun-
try is concerned. He weighs about
1862 when In perfect condition, which
makes II possible for him TO box
Mike O'Dowd, JEFF Smith, Mike GID
bons and other middle weights. In
fact, he has offered to fight Johnny
Wilson AT the middle weight limit,
but tho champion refuses 10 con-
slider II.
Doesn't Worry About Weight.
Greb also fights such men as Bin
Brennan. Gene Tunney, Carpenter,
Hugh Walker, Tommy Gibbons and
others OF the type, who outweigh
him from 10 to 80 pounds. Weight
never worries him, however. as ne
has finished In front against all OF
these fighters with the exception OF
the Frenchman and believes he car
do the same with him.
Tex Rickard iS trying hard now 20
induct the Frenchmau TO come to
this country for fight with the
Pittsburgh scrnppcr, such bout
will draw record gate for light
heavyweights and will give this coun'
try another worlds champion.
Now that Johnny Wilson Is vir-
tually shclved due to the fact that he
has been barred by nearly every box
ing commission In this this country,
the fans may as well consider that
Bryan Downey Is the King OF the
160-pounders, Downey may have q
superior in the ranks. but he whipped
Wilson once and recently got a de-
cislon over Mike O'Dowd which
stamps him one OF the very best.
Malone Big Bundle.
Downcy will be put 10 another So
we're test this week when he clashes
with Jock Malone in Aurora, III, for
10 rounds. Malone is the sCrappcr
who had trouble with brittle bones
in his right arm, but this trouble
was corrected after the arm was
broken three times, and no is now
one Of the most dangerous az his
weight. lie comes from the Mike
Gibbons school up I'm ST. Paul, which
means that he is "A clever, shittv.
quick thinking lrishman with plenty
