GIBBONS -GREB BOUT
IS EXPECTED TO END
IN DECISIVE RESULT
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March 13-A decisive
result Is hoped for in the clash at
Madison Square Garden tonight be-
tween Tom Gibbons, of st. Paul, and
Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh. in their
scheduled 15-round bout. Gibbons, by
virtue of his weight advantage, has
been established the favorite. They
are recognized as two of the best light
weights since Battling Levinsky lost
his lustre at the hands of Georges
Carpenter.
The men are to weigh in at 172, but
1t is generally expected Greb will be
several pounds under the poundage.
In addition, the st. Paul scrapper has
an advantage of two inches in reach
and more than four inches in height.
Both Gibbons and Greb are expected
to try desperately for sleep producers.
Greb, who has been fighting since
1913, has 26 knockouts to his credit.
To his discredit is a knockout at the
hands Of Joe Chip, who dropped him
in two rounds in his first fighting
year. Gibbons, who also began fight.
ing in 1913, has knocked out 43 men
and has never been counted out. To
nights meeting will be the fourth re
union between Greb and Gibbons.
Tonight's special event will bring
! together Clonie TAFT, Canadian light
weight champion, and Joe Yelling, OF
Chicago. They are booked for eight
rounds.

|MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
if Back Hurts or Blad-
der Bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells US that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel il
from the blood. They become sluggish
and weaken, then you suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
Stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes delightful efferves.

GRIMES, DODGER STAR,
IN SALARY SQUABBLE;
TEAMS BOAST FINDS

NEW YORK, March 13.-Burieigk
Grimes, star right OF the Brooklyn
Dodgers, today was seeking an inter
view with President Ebbets before he
agreed TO attach his signature to a
1922 contract. The big pitcher is caus-
ing the Dodgers chiefs lot Of worry
at the Jacksonville, Fla, training camp
but Ebbets says he has made his final
proposition to him. Grimes said he
was considering an offer of $4,000
year for five years by a semi-profes-
sional club in Chicago.
The Yankees are talking enthusiast
tically today of the fine showing yes
terday of George Murray. who pitched
for five innings in the game with the
New Orleans Pelicans, and allowed
them only two hits, and was never in
any danger of being scored one. Muir
| ray is from the Rochester club Of the
International league. The robust right
handler was the star performer of the
day and chief factor in the Yankee
| victory. Babe Ruth got two hits out
of five times up, but failed to clear
the fence.
| Boast Pitching Find.
In San Antonio the Giants also are
Boosting of pitching find in spite
of the fact that they lost to the White
Sox yesterday, AZ. He is Claude Jor-
nard, last years strike out king of tie
Southern league with Little Rock He
| hurled three brilliant innings and did
not allow a hit or run, and struck
out two men.
Red Faber and John Russell for the
White Sox were too fancy in their
pitching stunts and the Giant batters
could do no better than four hits and
a lone run in the eight innings. Their
| belated rally in the ninth was choked
off by Russell, after the Giants g4t
after the White Sox hurler for three
hits and two runs. Russell promptly
stopped stubling right there and re-
tired Frank Frisch, entering as pinch
hitter, and Ralph SINNERS, the home
run hero of Saturday.
The Giants had to go into the game
without the services of Frisch who
developed strain where his appendix
used to be, and which untitled him for
duty in the field.
