ChampionSignedContract
Only to Collect $35, 900
Purse From Tex Rickard

AS has been suspected by local box
ing fans for some time, there will be
no fight next month between Johnny
Wilson, of Boston, and Harry Greb. Of
Pittsburgh. The middleweights were
matched by Tex Rickard about ten
days ago, and the battle was to have
taken place in Madison Square Car
den some time during February.
Wilson, fulfilling certain predictions
chat have been made here, has squirmed
out Of the match, and his manager.
Martin killilea, stated in Boston YES
terday that the alleged middleweight
champion had not the slightest COM
junction about withdrawing from the
affair and leaving Mr.. Tex Rickard fiat.
The latest development in the mussy
mlddleweight situation would seem to
indicate that Killilea and Wilson have
put something over on Rickard in
more ways than one. According to Xii
lilea, the Madison Square Garden pro-
motcr made Wilson sign articles for
the Greb match before he would INV
him the $4,000 purse which was held
up after his bout with Bryan Downey
IN Jersey City on Labor Day.
In state ment given out Yesterday
Wilson's manager declared that it was
only by acceding to this condition that
49, SoNAN w >eA4u tHC 1uOutV 1Nat was
coming to HIM. In view of this fact.
Kiliilea said. the champion felt that
ne had right to cancel the Greb en-
gagement.
Wilson Afraid to Risk Title
When Richard announced that Will
son and Greb had been matched for a
ttteen-round encounter in February
the ring shatps hereabouts refused to
take the news seriously. and the pre-
dlctlon was made that Johnny would
never risk his title by coming within
reach of the dangerous fists of the
Pittsburgh boy. Johnny picks 'en soft
or not at all.
Wilson's action in defaultinp the
Greb match may lead to his being
barred from further ring appearances :
IN this state, it being certain that the
matter will De called to the attention
