HARRY GREB FEARED
HE WAS GOING TO DIE
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, October 27.-Harry
Greb, former middleweight champion
Of the world. had a premonition of
death.
This was revealed today by his
brother-in-law, J. Elmer Edwards. a
few hours before Greb, who died in
Atlantic City Friday, was laid to rest
in grave adjacent to that of his
wife.
'sFor the last month or so Harry
has been rather despondent," Ed.
wards said. "He spoke often Of death
and seemed spiritless in many ways.
When he discussed matters pertain
ing to the future he would preface
his remark with IF I live I may do 1t.
Judging from his conduct for several
weeks Immediately preceding his
death, now that look back on them,
am firmly convinced that he had a
premonition Of his fate"
Though confirming the fact that
Greb had a glass eye, Mrs. Edwards,
the late pugilist's sister, regretted the
secret was broken by his friends in
Atlantic City.
Harry was sensitive about the
affliction," she said, that made it
necessary for him to have his right
eye removed and a glass eye substi.
tuted, and even in death am sure
he would not have wanted the world
to know about it."

PITTSBURGH, October 27.-Fred
C. Clarke. who 20 years ago piloted
THE Pittsburgh Pirates to four Ma
tional League pennants and one
world title, has severed his connec-
ton with the club.
From his home in Winfield, Kans.,
Clarke yesterday notified Corsair Of
ficials that he had resigned as vice
president and director of the club.
rhus the man to whom was given
much of the credit for Pittsburgh s
successful fight for the National
League pennant in 1925, joins Man
ager Bill McKechnie, Max Carey,
Babe Adams and Carson Bigbee in
the ranks of those whose careers with
the Pirates have been terminated df-
rectly as a result of the internal. dis
sension that developed last Summer.
That dissension arose when Clarke 8
presence on the bench in the role of
advisor to McKechnie brought siren
uous objection from some of the play
ers, chief among whom, it was said,
were Carey, Adams and Bigbee.
After these three had been dis
missed from the club, Clarke an
nounced he never again would occupy
a seat in the dugout. 1t was freely
predicted at that time that he would
not care to remain with the club long
after charges that his presence on the
bench hindered Mckechnie had been
leveled at him. McKechnie himself
was released recently and has been re-
placed by Owen d. Donnie) Bush,
manager of. the Indianapolis American
Association club.
Clarke, as manager Of the Pirates
from 1900 to 1915, won National
League pennants in 1901, 1902. 1903

JACK MAY NOT FIGHT
AGAIN, SAYS RICHARD

NEW YORK. October 81 R).--Deny-
ing that he had signed Jack Demp-
sey to a contract for a bout with Gene
i, Tunney. Tex Richard today expressed
doubt that Dempsey would don the
gloves again.
Hes got so much money that the
game may not have the old appeal to
him." the promoter said. "He may
not like the idea of training hard.
Unless he Is enthusiastic, it would
do him more harm than good to re-
turn to the ring.
II have no intention right now Of
sending Dempsey into the ring against
Tunney in Genes first start as a
heavyweight champion next year.
Dempsey should go through one or
two trials before tackling another
title bout for the double purpose OF
assuring himself and the public a.
to his fighting form andecondition."

MACKALL VERSATILE
FOR VIRGINIA TEAM

UNIVERSITY, October 27-Capt.
Charlie Mackall, VirGinia's veteran
lineman, is receiving praise for his
versatility in the game against Vir-
ginia Tech, when he played in the line,
on the end. and in the backfield.
Not only did Mackall play a steady
game at guard, but he took care of
Virginia's punting throughout the aft
ernoon and he was the chief factor
in the passing attack. which netted
210 yards for the Virginians during
the last half of the game.
Mackall also ran with the ball from
kick formation, and in the closing
quarter he shifted himself to one of
the flanks, where he caught a pass
and carried 1t to Techs 3-yard line
for a first down. On the next play
the Virginians lost a chance to tie
and maybe to win, by drawing q 15-
yard penalty.
For three seasons Mackall has been
line star. He will end his play with
Virginia in the fourth Southern Con-
ference games ahead, against South
Carolina in Columbia on Saturday,
against Washington and Lee here a
week later, then against Maryland In
College Park and North Carolina here
on Thanksgiving.
With Mackall giving strength to
the center Of Virginia's line are two
other men who are playing their last
season. These are Ted Phillips, vet
eran center, and Joe Finck, at guard.
Phillips played as a regular last
season while the year before he had
been a substitute. Finck is. serving
with the varsity for the first time,
after two seasons spent as a line UNI
derstudy.
These three men, all of whom weigh
between $50 and 1870. do much to make
Virginia a powerful front wall, and
it is to their combined credit that
very little ground has been gained
through the middle of the Orange
and Blue wall during the season.
Finck was slightly injured in the
Tech game, but he will probably be
ready to play against South Carolina.
