GREB-TUNNEY
TITLE BATTLE
Is IN MAKING
Light Heavyweight Champion
ship Affair Planned for
New York May Is.
HARRY THE FAVORITE
By DAVIS j. WALSH

NEW YORK, April 27.-According to
the best advices. everything but the
photographic operation ON the dotted line
has been arranged for Harry Greb and
Gene Tunney % meet in Madison Square
Garden on the night Of May 26 for the
American light heavyweight title. The
young men, they say, are a bit at vari
ance over the slight difficulty of split
ting the customers money on an AMIGA
BILE basis; otherwise, the stuff is on
like hot rivet.
Reading between the lines. one can see
that Greb is making ready to smoke him
self up very thoroughly before he pro-
ceeds further in his campaign to get
Dempsey into the ring IN an eight or ten
round sprint in some town where decis-
ions are taboo. II he beats Tunney-and
he should do just that-he will have An
American title to add luster to his claims
AS for Tunney, it Is Il question Of
fighting for an opulent purse at some
early date, or going to work with the
rest OF the boys In the early morning
Gene hasn't had a match of any i'm
portance since he won the title from the
decrepit Leyinsky.
Tunney may not altogether realize 1t,
but the fact Of the matter IS that he is
not a good bet to retain his title in
bout with Greb. The present champion
may be a first class hitter, but, IL so,
he has kept the fact carefully concealed.
Also he IS hardly fast enough to out
point Greb. although right smart work
man at that
Therefore, the match. If any is really
on, figures as a bit Of pocket money for
Tunney and a steppingstone for Greb to
a bout with Dempsey.
1t only serves however, to make the
Dempsey situation more involved. Dis
patches from abroad today inform you
that Dempsey and Carpenter are being
warmed over, 30 TO speak, for a return
engagement. Several days ago Harry
Wills. the we'll known brunette, an
nounced his intention of setting out for
foreign climes. there to pelt the cham
pion with challenges and verbal razz-
berries. Prior TO that interesting an
nouncement Greb was pleased to state
that everything was set for an eight
round. no-decision buck and wing with
Dempsey at Philadelphia, July 4.
There you are You pay your money
and take your pick 1t all narrows down,
gentlemen, TO a question of whether the
eye is faster than the hand.
For your non-essential part, we viii
venture that Dempsey will meet some
body abroad even if they have TO send Joe
Beckett. the horizontal champion, into the
ring with a meat ak in either hand. OBJ
yiously something will have to be done
keep the upkeep down on that expen-
sive European trip.

Southport again tucked the Manual
scaIps under its belt and romped home
with a to l victory over the Red and
White. Klein, the Southport hurler, was
effective all through the game, allow
ing only six scattered hits, two of
which coupled with a passed ball gave
the Manualites their only tally. The
last three innings were Pitcher Riggs
undoing as he allowed three extra base
hits while the Manuel infield went to
jieces, making four errors.
Tech used two pitchers yesterday to
hold Broad Ripple scoreless in their
game at Brookqside Park. Ewing and
Calvert held the RippIeites to one lone
hit and during the fracas only twenty
seven men faced the mOundsmen. Ewing
whitfield eleven men in the six innings
he worked, hit one man and allowed one
scratch hit. Techs big round came in
the second when six men romped oyer
the plate for scores. Jordan. the Tech
catcher, also showed some fine work on
the receiving end. Broad Ripple has had
a hard time getting started this spring
as Manual dropped them some time ago.
Broad Ripple will play Manual at Gar
6eidsa Park Friday.

BIG LEAGUE STUFF

Just by way of making things
interesting, the Athletics waited until
the ninth inning to spring IA three
run rally on Sam Jones, and the
Yanks' winning streak OF eight
straight games came to a halt with
out further notice.
Ed Rommell, one Of many socalled
Yankee jinxes, was the frock-coated
william of the piece.
Mr. Grimes of Chicago, had a big day
with the stick, while Mr.. Grimm Of Pits
burgh was doing next TO nothing. The
Cubs, therefore disposed of the Pirates
In ten innings.
Look out for us now" says Pat Moran.
The Reds finally won a bail game after
dropping eight in succession. the st.
Louis Cardinals being the victim. RtXey,
brutality man handled in other starts this
season, held the Cards TO three hits aud
shut them right out.
Another scandal! Ty Cobb gets 8
wei pitched game from member OF
his careworn staff, and IA lefthander
at that. Bert Cole confined the free
swinging Browns to six hits and
scored shutout while the fans
blinked in amazement
The Giants winning streak also come
to parade rest when the Phlllies pound
ed out a victory over Jess Barnes and
Causey. Art Fletcher was Il hlg factor
in the defeat of his former mates. driv-
ing in four runs with a single n the sec
ond and a homer in the sixth. George
Kelly, Ross Young and Cy Williams also
obliged with home RUS. It was ttnn!y
Rings third straight victory. SINNERS,
who was knocked out by a pitcned ball
in Tuesdays game. was back on the Job
and got three hits
The Indians and sliding Billy" Wat
son are doing very well these days.
Cleeeland's slide toward the 500 mark
was continued yesterday when the White
Sox won easily behind the pitching of
young Robertson, who was as strong as
venerable cheese In the pinenes.
Messrs Pennock, Karr, Dodge and Full
lerton spent a merry afternoon, but
Dodge was the only one who rad the
right idea. The Senators assaulted this
quartette for nineteen HTS and made a
clean sweep of the series with the Fed
Sox.
