There were days when Mickey was
deadly serious about fight but mostly it
seemed that he was at Texas Guinan's do
ing the Charleston and soaking up the stuff
he now sells but won't touch Throughout
most of his yarn the name of Arnold
Rothstein runs, like an unpretty thread.
Until Rothstein finally caught the slug
that was meant for him, he usually called
the shots. But Mickey recites one chapter
IN which the gambler who fixed the 1919
World Series didn't come out winner.
***
a "ON JULY 2, 1925, I fought Harry Greb
Tor the middleweight title," relates Walk
er, whose admiration for Greb is evident all
the way arnold Rothstein made the gam
bling odds on sporting events in those days.
My fight with Greb naturally was all
smoked up. Greb, shrewd gambler, some
times deliberately gave the impression
that he was the worSt-conditioned fighter
in the world And he went out of his way to
prove it,
"RothStein had made him solid favor
ite. The night before the fight Harry
hustled couple of his girl friends into a
cab and made the rounds. After displaying
himself in several night clubs, Harry
headed for Lindy'S, where he knew Roth
stein and the other betting boys would be.
with an eye to business, Greb climbed
out of the hack first, stumbled and almost
fell into the gutter, missing his footing
purposely. His girl friends quickly grabbed
him under the arms and helped him back
into the cab. 1t was Harrys intention
to have the gambling mob think he had
been drinking heavily"

Greb won one of the most memorable

famous episode when the two opponents.

"Greb had a reputation as a drinker,
but he really couldn't drink, two stiff slugs
knocked him for loop" Walker relates.
Anyway, that was the night the welter
champ Mickey and the middleweight
king (Greb) got palsy and, in the twinkling
OF an alcoholic remark, they were at it
again-on the street. They'd just fought at
the Polo Grounds for $4,000 between them
and $4,000 people. Now they were battling,
bare-fisted, before newsboy, cab driver
and the doorman of night Joint"
Il lost the first fight to Greb," Walker

formal battle. But I always thought I

Dietze| Job-Change Serial
May Reach Climax TODAY

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 6
(AP).-The end may come to-
day to the most interesting
serial outside of television when
football coach Paul Dietzel goes
before the Louisiana State Uni
versity Board Of Supervisors to
ask permission to accept the
coaching job at West Point.
For the benefit IF those who
may have tuned in late, the
Military Academy and LSU are
involved in a battle over the
services of the 38-year-old
Dietzel, whose success at LSU
borders on the fabulous.
AS the board gathered in a
hastily called meeting to con-
slider the Dietzel matter, the
word in the Bayou country was
that Dietzel was all but de-
livered to West Point.
Asking permission to take the
Army job is an oversimplifica-
ton. DietZel still has four years
remaining on a contract that
calls for $18,500 per year and
he needs a release before he
can journey northward.
May Be in for Fight
Some board members have
indicated the tall, good-looking
coach, whose flair for the
imaginative has given LSU
three bowl teams in four years,
is in for a fight when he asks
to be excused.
Board Member Tom Dutton
said earlier this week he would
ask the board to take legal
action to prevent Dietzel from
breaking the contract.
But Dietzel may have given
an indication of his decision
on a 15-minute television sports
show in Baton Rouge last night.
Though he parried all direct
and gave a bookfui
OF indirect answers, he COM
mented that "It's been a Won
derful seven years" since he
took over as head coach. And,
he added, my stay at LSU has
been wonderful"
He came to the screen loaded
for bear. He told his listeners

where he waSschief assistant to
Col. Earl (Re6 Blaik, to take

LSU officials, he said, asked
Blaik to release him from the

was that he would not
stand in Dietzels way.

driven in as many runs. 1t was
