Webb-Tucker Bout Tonight
May End Light Heavy Fuss

Greece, recognized as champion
by the N. F. A., will meet Gus
Lesnevich of Cliffside, N. j., here
May 2. The winners of the two
brawls will fight it out for the
crown some time later.
There's another pretty fair light
heavyweight around whom you
may remember. He's Billy Conn,
the Pittsburgh pretty boy. The
New York commission still rec
ognizes him as titleholder, although
he's matched with Joe Louis for
June. However, he has advised
local fans that he will give up
the crown whenever he's invited
to.
Webb and Tucker fought an
eight-rounder in the Garden some
months ago. W,bb won the de-
cision, although he was firing in
the late rounds and was floored
in the seventh.
The betting men have made
Webb 5 to 7 favorite. This cor
ner likes him to win.
Webb hasn't lost a fight since
November 81, 1889. In the past
year, under the management OF
Chris Dundee-who received him
after he had been piloted by Glenn
Mccarthy, a Texas oil man, and
Bob O'Donnell, a Texas theater
magnate-Jimmy has won IL and
fought one draw. Tucker, who can
play the piano and sing pretty
well, has lost only three fights out
of SO since 1896. l
