 Human Windmill"

 NEW YORK, August 16.-Guisep- pc Panica has no bananas, but aside from this universal dearth, he is different from most of his fellow men.
 Giuseppe has a caulif1ower. It is one of the most progigious speci- mems ever seen outside a county fair. In Giuseppes set, it is considered au fait to have the ears cauliflowered. But Giuseppe's ears are normal: IL Is his nose that IS cauliflowered.
 Giuseppe fights the wrong way, with his right hand thrust forward. Not only that but he fights worse than almost any other fighter in any class in the ring today. And not withstanding this fact, Giuseppe is middleweight champion of the world under the name of Johnny Wilson.
 Johnny fights Harry Greb here on August 31, with the title at risk, and bad as he is and admits he Is, there are many people beside Johnny himself, who think he will peat Harry Greb, although Greb Is about the best middleweight in the Worlo' Johnny Is different.
 The reason why one of the worst fighters in the ring, barring none or any classification, may beat the man who beat Tom Gibbons, Is rather hard to define. You have to oack into the story, which is this: Harry
  blareer men by outfooting them, leap | ing and frisking about them like an | inpudent terrier, snapping at the nozzle of a carthose at hitching rack.
 Little ones Worry Greb.
 When Greb fights men of his own weight he finds that most Of them can meet his speed with more speed and slip straight punches rlgnt . through his flurries of bird,sn1ot .1e | blows. Tommy Lodghran of Phlla- delphia, is a middleweight who al WAYS sets Greb back on his heels Tor in, first six rounds or so, and up 10 that point, outscores him. Beyoho l half dozen rounds, however | Loughran gets nervous ana, Mheti sH | that occurs, he spends the rest or inc evening brushing off dozens ol slams in the manner of patient Tn Ia drink cure, paving off millions or pink tarantulas. Wilson doesn gse | nervous. Nervousness takes lIhas l- nation, which Wilson mas none Vt' th l. Furthermore, Greb, since he lost the | American light heavyweight cham pionship to Gene Tunney last winter, 1 has not taken care of himself. lie has had to take up with doctor | from time to time. He hasn't tralneu well. He was due to take up ms | training quarters in Manhasset, L. l. |

 Greb isn't attending to business and Wilson is. Wilson Is tralnlhs a1 a lake down in New Jersey ana | however awkward and unskilled fighter he may be, the fact remains that Johnny Wilson is strong uur- l abIe young man, with very respec- table jolt in his left hand.
 A Terrible Pairing. ,.
 Wilson and Bryan Downey maoe one of the worst fights in Jersey City two years ago that ever the pupllo nsid to see. Afterward Wilson. be- | inc different from most fighters made no claim of broken knucKles' | oyer-training, indigestion or dlsturp- | ing news from his brokers, He 1ust | admitted that 1t was terrible ilsht but said it was the best. he could do and claimed that, anyhow, he couldn | he called the very worst fighter III | tbe world. because Downey was worse | than he was. A more insulting thing he couldn't have said about Downey.
 Johnny Wilson, one of the worst and a champion, has made llttle nonev as compared to most other | cbamniohs. because he was declared unconstitutioan for two years by the | New York boxing commission puI l after his fight with Greb he Wlli | have totaled something well beyond | S1O0. .OOO, wherein again he dtters pS something like s900,000 from most or | his fellow men.
