Young New Yorker Expects to
Win Back Light Heavyweight
Title From Greb.

ney has the chance of his young
life to win back his title of light
heavyweight champion of America
when he tackles Harry Greb this
evening at the Garden. It will be
Tunney's last opportunity, and if
You can believe Gene and his ad-
mirers, he will surely turn the
trick. II he doesn't, Greenwich VIII
lage wills settle down for a long
siege of mourning.
The residents of the village are
banking on Gene to regain his for
mer laurelS. The admirers of the
A. E. F. champion cannot see how
he can lose, and, therefore, have
taken the band off the bank roll.
This is one scrap where sympa-
thy and well wishes have overcome
judgment, so far as speculation is
concerned. The sharpshooters fig
ured few days ago that Greb was
a certainty and made him an 8-to-5
favocite.
Tunney has trained faithfully for
this mill and will enter the ring as
fit as a man can be.
In the last bout with Tunney,
Greb was rather wild and vicious
at times, but this evening he will
have to be very careful. The Tun.
ney camp has asked for a referee
that won't stand for rough tactics.
