cision and his middleweight title to
the negro, Tiger Flowers. of Atlanta.
in Madison Square Garden last Feb
ruary, will have his chance to re-
gain it in the same ring tomorrow
night.
Greb has trained with a purpose
for this battle, and last night was
reported within a pound of the limit
and in excellent condition. Flowers,
as is usual, with him, has been fight
ing often in various parts of the
country and Is concluding his train
ing in a gymnasium here.
Flowers gained the title by lead
ing throughout. his aggressiveness
swaying the judges. In that bout
Greb seemed to have lost much of
his flash, and only once uncovered
his windmill" attack and that early
in the bout. The negro used a right
hand slap which puzzled the Pitts
burgh man but did little damage.
IF Greb fights as he used to, with
both arms failing, boxing critics pre-
dict rare contest.

Award Contract
For Metal Dirigible

Washington, Aug. 1S-(P)-The
prolonged controversy which began
during the last session of congress
in connection with the proposal to
construct a small experimental met
al clad dirigible eliminated today
with the award by the Navy De-
partment of contract for the con-
struction of such an airship to the
Aircraft Development Company of
Detroit. at a price not to exceed
100000.
The Detroit company, which de-
veloped the plan and specifications
for a metal clad airship, was the
only bidder.
The ship will be about the size
of "blimp" with a gas capacity of
200 cubic feet. 1t will be $50 feet
long and 53 feet in diameter at the
largest point of the metal bag and
the contractors expect to obtain a
maximum speed of 20 miles an

cruising rate of 1000 miles.
Navy Department experts never
have endorsed the metal ship plan
which was sponsored entirely in the
naval house committee. The ship
will be covered with duraluminum
plating.

Call for More
Trainers for Tunney
In New York Camp

Spectator, -. Y. Aug. 1S-(P)-
There was only one nose to count
today when a total of Gene Tunney's
sparring partners was made. Bud
German, the heavyweight, was call
ed to New York by sickness in his
family, leaving Osk Till the long
Rochester middleweight, to bear the
burden alone.
This Osk can do, If necessary. for
he is willing worker. but another
call for reinforcements is expected
to relieve the scarcity of talent.
Billy 'Vidabeck was expected to
reach camp tomorrow, with others
to follow. German is ALSO expected
to return within a few days.
Tunney is not worrying over the
lack of competition, for at this stage
of the game he does not need to do
much boxing. He is concentrating
on his road work. The daily mara
'thon to Mud Lake and return has
placed his legs and wind in good
shane

i Harry Greb and the dusky Georgia
neacon Tiger Flowers are hooking
an in a little affair all their own at
New York tonight. Greb is in the
rols of challenger and the Tiger is
the champion this time. The last
tir-s thew met the positions were ie-
rsrsed. Whichever way the fight
soes it should be a hummer. Greb is
6ra Of the greatest attractions in the
business today, his whirlwind attack
and aggressive manner giving the
fans plenty of thrills.
II Greb stages a comeback tonight
hs will be successful where a lot of
other good men have failed. The
law Of averages is against him. The
boys who lose their titles decisively
once hardly ever win ii back again,
although Ted Kid Lewis and Jack
Britton staged several hectic battles
for the welterweight title which are
still talked about.
Another thing which will count
against Greb is his experience. He's
had too much of it. The veteran who
knocked them.right and left through
several hundred hard battles loses
his endurance and wallop sooner or
later and it was the opinion of ex-
perts who saw Greb lose his title
that he had lost the old time form.
Grebs pride, which was sorely hurt
IN the last battle, may keep him 60
Ing tonight, but Flowers, who fights
about every two weeks and shoots
punches from every angle, is apt to
trim up the Pittsburgher more de-
csively than at their last meeting.
Flowers is notorious for a glass jaw
and Grab has reached the age where
he has lost most of his old time pep
but in spite of these weaknesses. it
Is safe to say record crowd will be
there TO see the bout between two of
the most active champions the mid
dleveight class has ever known i'll

three sparring partners so badly
they had to be helped from the ring
at his training camp.
Jimmy Roberts, middleweight.
was carried around the ring by the
champion until Benny Fenderburk
climbed through the ropes. He was
slowed up considerably by a series
of poppy punches until a left hook
finally stopped him for good, and
Joe Kurp, Penns. -lvania Iron Man
replaced him to finish out the
round.
Roberto Delfno, husky Argentine
sparring mate of the champion, was
refused admittance to the ring to-
day because of two black eyes and
several cuts, although he was an
