The Washington times., 1925-07-03


Greb, defending his u1iddleWeight-
title against Walker, vselterweight
champion, got unanimous de-
cision at the end of fifteen rounds
and had Walker almost out in the
fourteenth. The latter proved that
good little man can beat a good
big man only on the thirty-second
day of the month.
Wills, so-called logical contender
for the heavyweight championship,
stopped WeinerL with q right to the
law In the second round. The re-
suit feft Wills as logical as a prose
cutting attorney and proved that
Weinert's supposed comeback was
laught but q snare and q delusion.
The writer expected him to
come back into his, the writer's
lap. at any. given moment and
he almost did.
The great Slattery, with half
million in front Of him, was knocked
out by Shade in the third round
for something In the neighborhood
OF $1,000. The crowd still Is Keeling
from the shock Of this one and it
must 90 down on the books az q
tactical triumph for Leo p. Flynn,
who sent Shade in against. Slattery
bent almost double.
The Buffalo entry was pleased to
stand with his hands at his sides,
as always, and bring up his
punches. But one, cannot bring up
punches on q man who is halfway
down, can one? Obviously, one
can not.
Slattery hardly laid q glove on
the weaving and bobbing Shade,
who carried the fight to his man
for the first two rounds and, in
the third, fairly leaped from the
floor with q right that dropped
Slattery for the first time in his
career. He forsook the perpendicu-
lar twice more from rights to the
jaw and then the towel, mute token
Of surrender, fluttered out from his
corner.
Slattery was q 4.t0-1 shot and
