TUNNEY'S VICTORY
TO STAND; BOXING
COMMISSION SILENT
Attitude Taken No Grounds
for Any Official
Action.

New York, Feb. 24.-"Gene Tunney
is the American lightweight champion
There was nothing wrong with the
contest or with the decision of the
judges who voted that Tunney beat
Greb. The decision is on the books
and it will stand there"
This comment was made unofficially
at the New York Boxing Commission
office in reply to a lot of talk going
around town that Harry Greb had
been "jobbed" out of his title Fri.
day night when the judges gave the
decision to Tunney.
The commission, it was said, would
not act officially on the case as there
was. NO cause, for action. The subject
was not mentioned at the regular
meeting of the commission Saturday.
Greb started all the commotion with
statement that he had been robbed
of the title and everybody who had
lost a bet on him Joined in the chorus
and yelled from the house tops that
something should be done about it,
More money was wagered on the
bout than on any in the last year
and most Of it, including all the "wise
money" went down on Greb and went
down with him. "Wise money" al.
ways has a powerful voice when il
goes down.
Opinion was widely divided on the
justice Of the decision, even in neutral
circles. but it was unanimously agreed
that Greb was very poor loser and
that he would not get very far in
claiming he did not lose on the level.
Letters written TO the boxing com.
mission demanding that a referee be
named who would prevent Greb from
fouling, threatening letters mailed to
Greb and to his wife, and the over.
zealousness of the referee in watching
him and letting Tunney alone were
quoted by Greb as evidence that the
loss of his title was the result of a
deliberate plot, worked up and put
over to intimidate the referee and the
judges. az
Billy Gibson, Tunney's new man.
ager, did write to the boxing com.
mission and he asked that referee
be appointed who would enforce the
rules. .ts
As far as threatening letters are
concerned, Greb certainly has re
ceived them inl the past because they
find their way to the principals Of
every big bout. Tom Gibbons got
bales of them when. he was training
for his last fight with Greb. =
While Greb was doing everything
but using radio to circulate his sad
story, Tunney refused to take part
in the controversy. -. i

YANKEE EARLY BIRDS
Ruth Almost Down to 200
Pounds, His Goal for
the Present.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 24.-Inter-
mittent showers broke into the sched-
ples of the major league baseball play
ers working out here Saturday, but all
of them, even Babe Ruth who has been
laid up with cold, managed to get in
some work.
Ruth, Carl Mays and Everett Scott,
the golf bugs of the Yanks' contingent,
had session on the links, while Wally
Schang went hiking with the Cleve-
land Indians. .r
Carl Mays stepped on the scales and
found himself tipping the beam at LOG
pounds, 20 pounds lighter than he was
last year at this time.
Mike McNally Joined the Yanks and
weighed in at 20 pounds more than he
scaled last year.
The Cleveland contingent finished
its road work by running around the
ball park five times and then broke
out new baseballs for the first time
this year.
Bob Shawkey and Joe Bush are on
their way here, but Herb Pennock is
planning to go direct to the Ianks
permanent camp in New Orleans.
Babe Ruth is getting back in good
shape. He is weighing just above t21t

George Kelly Of the New York
Giants was the outstanding hero OF
the baseball expedition to the orient,
from the japanese viewpoint.
The Japs being small of stature,
Kelly, six feet four inches, was regard
ed as superman. even in civilian
clothes. ABOUND the hotel or at the
railroad stations Kelly was always the
center Of attraction. ..a
In a baseball uniform Kelly seems
even taller, and when he and Johnny
Layan, who was playing short for or
team, held conference it always got
q big laugh. Layan and Kelly were
the Mutt and Jeff combination OF the
trip. Those two famous comic char
acters are almost as well known In
Japan as this country.
Aside from the hitting ability of the
Americans, the Japs marveled at Cur
Ilong-distance throwing, and the &C
curacy with which the outfielders
could get the ball to the plate.
Kelly has a great arm. His throw
ling ability, added to his size, also
helped to make him big hero in the
eyes Of the Jap fans.
Even more interesting to some OF
the fans than the game itself was
Kelly's exhibition of long-distance
throwing. This was an added feature
before each game. .r "
Standing in the outfield, at the re-
hottest point in the park, or at the
home plate, Kelly would make several
long distance throws after getting hi:

None of the Jap players could come
