HARRY CREE WAS BLIND
 IN ONE EYE, FRIENDS SAY
Announcement Today Says he Lost Sight on Bout with Kid
 Norfolk.

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 26. CP- Harry Greb, former middleweight champion of the world. who died in a private sanitarium here on Friday, won his championship and also the major portion of his boxing honors while blind in one eye. This was vouchsafed by close friends here to- day, when their pledge of secrecy had been removed by the death of the gallant fighter.
 Greb, they said. had been totally blind in his right eye for five years following an injury he sustained in a bout with Kid" Norfolk in New York in 1921. Physicians four years ago advised its removal for fear the infection of the detached retina would spread to his other eye. He. however, was reluctant to submit to an operation.
 Last summer, what surgeons had said might happen. did happen. The left eye became infected and he was told that the only means of saving what was left of his sight was to have the other eye removed at once. He consented and last month came to this city and entered a hospital under the assumed name of Brown. An eye specialist who had been pledged to secrecy performed the operation and substituted the glass eye for the one removed. It was a good imitation and had heen at tached by means of tendons taken from a sheep to the eye muscles in such a way that it was impossible to detect it.
 Greb was recovering from the ef- fleets of this operation when he was injured in an automobile accident in Pittsburgh three weeks ago.
