Observers claim that the old gar
den restaurant and bar, just off the
main entrance, was thronged with
these ghouls of the profession just
before the main bout went on and
that business was brisk. The rem
devious in question has ever been
a happy hunting ground for the
gambling element.
The effect of these activities was
to send the odds of to 5 on
Bernstein tumbling to even money,
and at one stage of the proceedings
to to on Dundee. The circum-
stances was suspicious to say the
least.
It is understood that Richard
has pledged himself to drive the
gamblers out of the Garden, as
he did on the occasion of the
Britton-Walker bout for the mid
dleweight title, an affair that saw
the odds fluctuate SO sharply that
the commission declared all bets
of.
'Such decisions give the game
black eye" Richard is quoted as.
saying, land any time the game
gets a black eye, get one, too"
Asked If he would match Dundee
and Bernstein again, Richard gave
vent to an emphatic never, there
might have been riot on Monday"
At that, the hint of collision is
deprecated by the fact that some
competent and unbiased observers
have declared that they saw moth
ing wrong with the decision. 1t
was their opinion that, while Bern
stein was the aggressor, Dundee
landed the clear and harder
punches. Bernstein, they claimed,
missed many of his leads and
landed others on spots that We're
not vital. So much for the cele-
brated difference of opinion.
Meantime, it is understood that
the commission is disposed to. take
a poll of educated opinion on the
controversy. 1t is said to be ask
ing for suggestions on the render
ing of decisions in the future, and
one of them, coming from many
sources, demands the abolition Of
judges and the constituting of the
referee as the sole arbiter as in the
days of the Frawley law.
The judges on Monday night
were e. G. Becker and Harlem
Tommy Murphy, great lightweight
of another era. They voted for
Dundee. Jack O'Sullivan, the
cast the sole vote for
Bernstein.

Greb Apologies.

EINDING that he was getting
n into deep mess, Greb hast
ened to apologize to the New
York State commission, taking
back all he had said and praising
his conqueror, Tunney, which was
hardly more than apple sauce to
the wise follower of the ring.
The middleweight champion ap-
pears to be suffering from some
sort of a complex. A VIGOROUSLY
foul boxer, he has to toe the
mark in New York rings. To
drag down the big money, he
must appear in New York. Com
PEELED to cut out his foul tactics,
he is at more or less of a dis
advantage when boxing in the
metropolis. Naturally he is
peeved.
The good thing about all this
is that, while printing Greb's
apology, the Evening World re-
iterates its original statement
that Greb did claim he was
"jobbed" and that the Evening
World has nothing to take back.
Greb may be middleweight
champion, but he talks too much
with his tongue.
