Johnny Wilson, middleWeight
champion, is the favorite in the ff-
teen round championship cattle to
be staged at the Polo Grounds, New
York City, on Friday night. Harry
Greb, of Pittsburgh, is the challen-
ger.
Greb, always considered a light
heavyweight, has had to come down
to the middleweight limit, in order
to get the bout with the champion.
As a result of his efforts, he is rath-
er drawn, reports from his Long
Island camp say.
The Pittsburgh battler, a better
boxer than his opponent. may lose
through disqualification, on account
of his wildness. The challengeris
right eye is practically useless, it is
said, and the critics are wondering
what will happen If the champion,
a southpaw, succeeds in closing his
opponents left eye.

a real champion, and his handlers

DOD6e BROTHERS ANNOUNCE
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS

Dodge Brothers have not
simply brought out a COM
plete new line of motor cars.
They have done something
infinitely wiser and better
than that.
They have brought new
beauty, new riding ease and
new mechanical perfection
to the product on which
their reputation as builders
has been founded.
They have built a better
and a more desirable line of
motor cars-yet basically
and fundamentallythe iden-
tity oftheir productremains
the same.
The same sturdy engine Is
under the hood; the same
dependable chassis, i'm
proved in numberless de-
tails, underlies the body.
But the rear springs-now
underslung-have been ma
terially heightened. The
wheelbase, too, Is longer,
and the combined result is
a notable improvement in
riding qualities.
