Referee Patsy Haley declared that

THINKS DECISION o. h.
Fairplay Says II Was Dust But Fight
Was Very Rotten.
BY FAIRPLAY.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Feb. 24.-The decision
by virtue of which Gene Tunney to-
day sports the American lisht-heavy-
weight crown may not have been
technically legal nor according to Mr..
HOylc, but it was Cminently just.
The Tunney -Greb fight at Madison
Square Garden Friday night was far
from satisfactory, although there were
numerous thrills for the 12,43S fans
who paid S49,s91 to sec it. Neither
Greb nor Tunney showed real cham
pionship caliber. Greb started his
holding with one hand and PLANNING
with the other in the first round,
He continued using this system with
an occasional use of the top of his
head against Tunney's chin and again
an intermittent flick with the heel of
his glove. Referee Pat Haley eau.
toned him several times TO no avail
Why Haley, veteran that he is and
courageous as he is, did not stop the
fight before the fifth round and dis
qualify Greb is beyond the ken of
man. That would have been the
technically legal way of giving the
decision and the title 70 Tunney and
it would have eminently been fair
Again in the twelfth Haley had
every right, moral and legal. to order
Greb from the ring, not only for foul
tactics but also for his unSpOrtsman-
like manner toward Haley when the
latter warned him and then literally
pried him loose from Tunney. Some
OF us at the ringsidc thought for a
moment Greb was going TO paste
Haley.
OF course. there is much argument
floating about today as TO whether
Greb actually fOuled Tunney. These
arguments can be settled by a glance
at several photographs taken during
the fight. They plainly show Greb
violated the rules of the ring.
However. speaking of something
pleasant. there will be real scrap
at the Garden March l when frankie
Genaro and Pancho Villa exchange

Refuses Chance in Major League
City Shostop Ready
to Go Up Just Yet

The major league is the goal Of
every ambitious ball player.
A. chance to win a berth on big
league team is usually jumped at as
the big opportunity.
1t seldom happens that player
turns down the chance because he
doesn't think he is ready TO make
the grade in the majors.
Such a player as Glenn Wright,
sensational young shortstop of the
Kansas City team of the American
Association. He waits one more
year in the minors. Thln he says
he will be certain to deliver.
A number of major League clubs
tried TO purchase the youngster. Clarke
Griffith of Washington is said to have
offered 100000 and three players for
immediate delivery.
Wright is product of Missouri
University. He was sent to the brush
a year ago for experience and last
season played much of the year with
Kansas City. He made a lot of mis-
takes early in the year. but he pro-
crossed rapidly and when the season
closed he looked like the best young
ball player developed in the big minor
of the West for many years.
Clark Griffith watched Wright for
almost two weeks and then made an
offer that Ban johnson says was
$4,000 and three players. while
George Muehlebach, owner Of the Kan
sas City club, says was only $4,000
and three players. In either case il
was a lot Of money and there was no
bunk about the offer.
When Wright heard Of it he went
to Muehlbach and iold him he would
