EASY
MARK FOR GREB
Rickard Offers $150,0OO for
Fight Between Winner
and Carpenter
CHAMPION SHOWS
SPEED FROM START

NEW YORK, May "a Omitted
Press). Gene Tunney was born in
Greenwich Village. far away from
the pastures and he never fought
bees.
When a whole swarm OF stingers
settled on him for forty-five minutes
last night, he knew not what to do
and he dropped the American light
heavyweight championship to Harry
Greb, the Pittsburgh hornet.
Some Huck Finn or a farmer boy
who knows that the only way to
keep away a nest of stingers is to
keep moving and keep the hands fly
ing might have whipped Greb but
Tunney stayed set for one punch and
he finished with his eyes puffed and
bleeding and his body welted and
bumped.
Greb won on a decision that would
convince beyond all doubt even a
New York judge. He won every one
Of the fifteen rounds by producing a
fan-like effect of gloves revolving in
Tunney's face and he proved beyond
all question that he Is the greatest
fighter in the world for his weight
and inches.
Tunney was bewildered from the
opening gong and he groped about
trying to get over one punch for
knockout but Greb was never there
when the big glove arrived.
Tunney, with a twelve pound ad-
vantage, didn't hit with effect more
than twice. He didn't have time to
hit. He was too busy getting out
of the path of punches and swings
that came from every direction.
After the fight. when Greb was
being kissed and hugged by his
handlers, Tex Rickard announced
that he would dangle $4,000 under
Georges Carpenters nose as bait for
a worlds title bout with Greb in the
United States next July or August.
Many think that Rickard is sore
because Dempsey would not fight
Wills for him in Montreal and he
wants TO spoil the champions com
ing fight with the Frenchman.
1t Is too bad that Johnny Wilson, |
the middleweight champion, cannot
be forced into the ring with Greb.
There isn't a doubt that Greb can
make the weight and the proof is
just as weighty that Greb could
walk away with the title.

Wilmington boxers were returned
victors in most of the bouts in which
they engaged at the open-air show
in Chester last night.
The bouts were all Of the give-and-
take variety. with the exception of
the windup. which proved slow in
comparison to the other four.
Johnny Griffin, colored light

that disgusted the fans so much that
a number left the park. The semi

Jack McCaulley, Chester. middle

rhe give and take variety, with Nc
Caulley using his superior weight to
advantage. gaining the decision over
the Wilmington entry.
The prelimin2ries were the crack
fights of the program. In the main
preliminary Young Frank. Of New

Pitching Great Ball.
Pitcher Van Glider of the st,
Louis club has been pitching great
ball for the Browns this year. For
two years Van Glider has shown oc-
casional flashes of great pitching
ability. This year he appears TO
have arrived.
The st. Louis Browns opened
their invasion of the east in Wash
ington. Just prior TO the start OF
the first game Trainer Bierhalter
walked past the washington bench.
Judge was sitting on the bench, ]

HEALTHY CUT is ONLY RULE

way is TO hit the old pill over the
fence or into the stands. And in
order to turn that trick you must
take a healthy swing.
Then It would seem that the most
necessary thing for batsman to
do, who aspires TO be a home-run
hitter, is to take a healthy swing.
You can take It from me that is one
thing I do. I like nothing better
than taking a healthy cut at the

l don't mind striking out II I have
my cuts, but I do hate to have the

proves the old theory that you can't
make base hits with your bat on

Picking the proper ball to whale
away at is most important. Get the
pitcher in the hole, rather than let
him get the edge on you. Mix up
your style at the plate. Have COM

when the breaks are against you.
Rather smile when they are with

tomorrow, opposed to the Baoharach
Giants, at Harlan Field. The game
will start at 5 o'clock.
The chain gang is practically In

the best known no doubt, to VIII

fast helding and hard-hitting short

left fielder.
Both these players had several
years of experience in the minors
and also had trials with major league
clubs. but they are better known
here as members of the powerful
Baltimore Dry Docks nine. As mates
of Waite Hoyt. the sensational
young pitching star of the New York
Yankees. they appeared several
times in Delaware River Shipyard

Frank, first base, who with Elliott
round out one of the strongest in

who Manager Dessau's choice for
the pitching peak will be. but he has
several reliable hurlers on his staff.
Manager, Dick Lundy, OF the Bach

tough customer in American Chain
and will start his strongest lineup
against the Pennsylvanians. His
