Greb Made Blind
By Blow From
Kid Norfolk

ATLANTIC CITY, N. Oct.
27.Dr. Carl S. McGiyern. per-
sonal physician for Harry Greb.
former middIe-weight and light
heavyweight champion boxer,
who died here following an op.
Grafton last Friday, today broke
a five-year silence and issued
q statement to the effect that
Greb has been stone blind in his
right eve for that length of
time and had carried a glass
eye since August of this year.
His formal statement follows:
Harry Greb was made blind
by a blow on his right eye dur
ing a fight with Kid Norfolk,
negro heavyweight, insNew York
City. in. 1871. He told no one
about it. Several years ago he
was advised by physicians and
friends to have the eye removed,
but refused to do so in the fear
that it would be discovered that
he was half blind and he would
be barred by boxing commits
sions and promoters from the
ring"
Il felt, and so did other ply
sicians that eventually the con.
dition of the right eye would
spread to the left eye"

c H A N c { PLAY
HAS CHANCE

. The $4,000 Washington Handi-
cap a mile and .one-quarter race,
for three-year-o and upward, to
be run here Saturday has the
horsemen guessing as to the prob
able winner.
Crusader, three-year- cham
pion, and the best distance running
horse of any age this season, will
be an absentee, which makes :he
Washington a very open affair.
The list Of probable starters
will consist of the Glen Riddle
Farms Taps, Audley Farms Prin-
cess Doreen, Arden Farms Chance
Play, N. Byer's Son Ami, Il. L..
Gerry's Peanuts, p. +. Joyce s
Harry Baker, Seagram Stable s
Edisto, j. J. Troxler's King Nadi,
Edward F. Whitney's Joy Smoke,
and Harry Payne Whitney's Blon-
din.
Even though Crusader is an alb
sentee the above field should fur-
nish a struggle well worth the trip
here. Chance Play, with his ex-
IRENE early speed. and who ran
second to Crusader here on last
Saturday over the mile and one
fourth route. might come up to
this race a favorite.
Blondin, Edisto, Joy Smoke. Taps
and Princess Doreen have been
given special props for the Wash
ington. One and all have trained
we'll, and have shown some start
ling performances in the morning,
especially is this true of Taps aud

glistening shortstop for the De-
troit club. Then his eyes went
back on him and SO did those
sturdy little legs, and Ty Cobb re-
leased him to the Washington club
on waivers. His days as a great
player were at an end.
On being released here Bush
went to his home in Indianapolis
and 1924 found him managing the
Indians of his home town. For
three years he has kept his team
well up in the American Associd-
ton pennant races, bad luck in
the way of weather in the con-
GLIDING week preventing pennart
victory in 1926. His teams have
finished second three times III
succession.
Allowing that the Pirates
possess all the needed qualities
of a pennant winner so far as the
mechanics Of the game go, Bush
should provide the spark plug.
If the Pirates failed this year
because they wilted in the stretch,
Bush won't let them wilt next
year, for he is a whip-cracker'
They will have to fight for every
thing or be shown up by their
fiery little manager.

He Was Looking Ahead

DRESIDENT Griffith was look
Il ing far ahead when he decided
to relase Bush and appoint Bush's
buddy, Bucky Harris, manager of
the team.
81 have had Harris in mind for
a long time," President Griffith
told this writer, explaining Bucky's
appointment. For while
thought him a bit young and was
content to wait. That's how Bush
got his chance to lead the team.
He had shown a fighting spirit
under Milan and certainly knew
baseball. SO he got the job. But
| was still planning on having
Harris manage my team, not for
year or so, but for long, long
time. Now | have him and
think he will be a big success"
Bucky led the Griffs to an
American League pennant and a
world championship in his first
season as a playing-manager.
Clark Griffith was right.
Nothing was ever said, either
by President Griffith or by Bucky
Harris, i'll criticism of Bush. Tho
little fellow had made friends
among the players; he had ne
enemies.
But President Griffith was con
WINGED that Bush did not fit int
the plans he was making for the
future.

fifth. Rumor followed rumor
until Washington fans were all
talking about Bush, his release
and the cruelty of President
Griffith.
Though the team had finished
in fourth place that fall, Presi.
dent Griffith was not inclined tc
oredit Bush particularly for that
He believed the team would have
done that, even had Bush been or
