CREE IS VICTOR
 OVER GENE TUNNEY
A, E. E. Champion Puts Up Good Bout Against Pittsburgh Battlsr

New York, May 2l---Harry Grsb. variously known in fistic circles as the Pittsburgh bearcat. the wildcat" and the "windmill," today was holder of the American light heavyweight title as result of his victory last night in IS rodnds with Gene Tunney Of this city. And now Harry wants to meet Georges Carpentier for the world td. tie.
 Grcb Starts Fariy
 Greb started against Tunney in his usual whirlwind fashion and unused up the New Workers ccuntenanee with sharp hooks and long swings be- fore the contest was many rounds old. Greb opened cut on Tunney't noso and cut both his eyes Then TunnAy slowed the Pittsburger for a spAll with hard body punches
 Recuperating quickly, Greb aunch- ed assault after assault for the head and body and while his punches were not as hard as those sent by Tunney, they were in the majority. The "beAs- cat" was always on top of his op- ponent and was the aggressor in most of the rounds. Against Grey, Tunney displayed some Of the courage th4t carried him to flstic titular honcrs in the American Expeditiorary forces in France.
 Would Meet Georges
 It has been reported that Carpen- tier would come to this country this year to defend his world light heavy weight title against any man selected. Greb, after the victory last. night ex- pressed willingness to meet Carpen- tier at any time.

GAS 60. PRACTICES
 WITH HERALD NINE
Meter Readers Walk Away With
 Weird Game in Industrial League

The Gas Co.,, baseball nine had some good batting practice at the eX- pense Of the Herald crew last evening at Walnut Hill park in what was sup posed to be an Industrial League game, The scorers on the sidelines were kept busy throughout the seven innings chalking up the number Of runs that the Gas men were pushing across the plate, and when the game was called by the referee to save the Herald nine further punishment, the score stood IS to 2.
 Easy For Driscoll
 Driscoll, the Gas Co.,, twirler, all though he had pitched the game against the Printers nine the day be- fore, had nothing to do but throw the ball to his catcher to see the Herald batsmen swing and connect with the empty air. He used Carl Mays deliv- cry throughout and puzzled the bat ters with his wicked slants.
 Awful Exhibition
 The Herald inf1eld might just as well have stayed home for all the good they did stopping grounders and the outfelders seemed to think that they were standing in the outer gar dens to watch the grass grow green. Hennessey the Herald twirler. was the redeeming feature of that shattered nine. He pitched a mighty fine game for the length of time that he was in the box, but he was absolutely all alone in his attempts to retire the op- posing batsmen.
 Gas Men Play Well The Gas Co.,, team, on the other hand backed up their pitcher by get ting everything that came their way. Jim Lynch, the battle scared veteran of many bygone battles on the dia- mond, showed the way to the younger members of the team by stealing sec ond and third in one inning
 In Memoriam There is an air of mourning in the Herald plant today over the loss of that little semblance of. baseball that existed some time ago. The result of the game should be to have the Herald nine change their entire lineup and give the girls a chance. The Herald's two runs were scored by Crean who poled out two circuit clouts which came without anybody on.

CATCHER IS DROPPED
Fordham Faculty Takes Action
 Against Cousineau For Failure To Attend Classes-Was Team Veteran

New York, May 24.-Ed. Cousin- eau, veteran Fordham catcher, who has been conspicuous by his absence in the Maroon lineup in the last two games, against City College and West Point, has been cut from the base ball squad by order of the faculty. Failure to attend classes made Cou sineau ineligible for examinations and consequent for the baseball nine.
 This was Cousineau's third year on the Fordham ball team. He was first string catcher and was rated on a par with the best college catchers in the east The loss of Cousineau will throw the bulk of the work behind the plate on Sandy McPeak, a fresh man from Philadelphia.
