Greb. the middleweight champion,
is the wonder Of the ring.
How does he do it?"
Nobody knows. But, believe it or
not, this human windmill from Pitts
burgh is still revolving along at a
dizzy pace, both inside the ring and
out of it. He leads a strenuous life
beneath the arc-lights and among the
white lights. He doesn't train for
fights. And his fighting style is ter
rible-he is as awkward as he is ef-
fective-which is saying plenty, as

WIMBLEDON, England, June 30
Americas last hope in the singles of
the all-England tennis championships
was eliminated today when John
Hennessey of Indianapolis was de-
feated by Henri Cochet, third ranking
player of France, 10. 4-6, 6-1,
6-3. Go.
After sterling play during the first
two periods, Hennessey went to pieces
completely. He finished weak. while
his French opponent was in top form.
Hennessey's collapse was totally
unexpected. for he seemed to have
fathomed Cochet's style and to be
able to return most of the French
mans shots from any part of the
court.

and had it not been for a shortening
of one of the rounds. Weinert might
have missed this lucrative fight with
Wills.
Platt Adams. the former Olympic
athlete, was New Jerseys boxing
commissioner who timed the round
for his own satisfaction, and he
called the attention of the time
keeper to the fact that his watch
was slow, or something. So that is
that.
AS to Weinert's present condition,
he looks good. but it must be con-
who has tasted the sweets of easy
living. One may look fit and per-
feet from the outside. but there is
no denying that internally a former
high liver might not look so fit.
Wills, on the other hand, is mar
vel of physical perfection and has
been noted for his strict adherence
to the rules of clean living. Every
year Harry takes a two-week pc
riod and abstains from food of all
kind. His only sustenance during
the IA days is plenty of cool, clear
water. He claims this is the most
effective way of ridding the body of
waste, gases and surplus fat. In
this way every year he takes on a
new lease of life.
Judging the bout on merit alone
the writer. of course. cannot figure on
other things that might enter-Wills
should win by a knockout in four
rounds or forever renounce his claims
to fight for the world heavyweight
title.
There is a chance that Harry may
be bothered by the referee, because of
his supposed method of fighting with
one hand holding his man and drawing
him in while he hits with the other.
But even so, the writer expects to see
him catch the fleeter Weinert and
bring him to the canvas before the
fifth round. If he does not then he
can kiss goodbye to any chance he
may now possess of meeting Jack
Dempsey.

WiIIs-Weinert Argument.


The dopesters have been speculat-
ing a lot about the outcome of the
various bouts and now the writer is
going to have his say. figuring the
dope not upon what promoters or
managers would like to have said. but
on the basis of facts as they appear.
First, then, Wills and Weinert.
Both of these men have been guilty
of some bad fights and both have
been knocked out. Weinert has heard
the birds chirping no less than five
times, while Harry bowed to sam
Langford back in 1916. Sam in those
days was still a grand fighter and 1t
took him 19 rounds to turn the trick.
Fans are apt to build up the COM
ing bout on the strength of the show
ing of the two men against F'irpo.
Wills for some unexplained reason,
had the Wild Bull PROSTATE in the
second round with a blow to the jaw.
When Firpo rose the big black started
in TO pummel his body instead of try
ing for a knockout. Wills mauled and
tugged Firpo all over the ring, did
just about what he pleased with the
big Argentinian, and those who know
his real ability have never been able
to account for his Indifference about
winning by knockout.
NOW as TO the w elnert-flrpO nSnt,
which the adonis won on points, Firpo
was far from the shape he was in
when he met Wills. Remembering his
quick kayo of Charley in Philly, he
expected to have an easy time.
But when he faced the Jerseyman
he found him trained to the minute,
well prepared to leg it all over the
ring and stab Luis head off with
lightning jabS. F'irpo blundered
along, trying to put over one fare
well sock, but Charley was ever on
the alert and sprinted or ducked out
oEevery dangerous situation.

SUDDEN JUMP IN
MELON SHIPMENTS
Is UNSURPASSED
Harrigan Predicts Slump
In Shipments
Very Soon

Cantaloupe shipments have made
the sudden increase which has been
anticipated for several days past,
and yesterday 345 carloads were
shipped from the valley. That this
shipment would be surpassed today
was indicated by the fact that 469
ears were ordered for today's ship
ments.
The total shipments to and includ-
ing May 81, amount to 1926 ears,
which is 3l8 ears more than were
shipped at the same time last year,
and more than twice as many as
were shipped up to May 81, 1928.
The sudden increase is without
precedent in the history of the I'm
perial Valley cantaloupe industry,
according to Horticultural Commits
sioner Harrigan, who predicts that
there will be slump in shipments
within the next few days.
Such a heavy increase is bad for
the market, Harrigan said, having a
tendency to flood it, with cores
ponding decline in prices, although
today's bureau of markets report
shows prices up well.
The highest shipment ever made
in one day is 5S1 ears, and unless
the present increase meets the
slump predicted by Harrigan, it is
evident that this high mark will be
surpassed.
