Greb Proves Supremacy as Middleweight: Semi-finals On in District Net Event
TOO STRONG FOR WALKER
IN GREAT 15-ROUND BOUT
• Wills, With 30-Pound Advantage, Disposes of Wei
nert iu Second Session—Shade Jolts Fans
by Stopping Slattery.
B.t the Associated Press. *
NEIW YORK, July 3. —The world middleweight ring crown was still
snugly fitted to the head of Harry Greb today after IS tempest
uous rounds of fighting with Mickey Walker, welterweight king.
Theirs was the final bout of four thrilling struggles for charity last night
in the ring of the Polo Grounds marked by two stunning knockouts.
Harry Wills, veteran negro heavyweight challenger, took only two
H rounds to dispose of the Newark comeback, Charley Weinert.
Jimmy Slattery, sensational Buffalo middleweight, fell an unexpected
victim to a' furious attack from the Golden Gate, centered in the fast
flying fists of Dave Shade. Floored three times in the third round, Slat
tery was saved from a 10 count when his seconds tossed in the towel.
Jack Sharkey and Joe Lynch, rival veteran bantams, fought a four
round draw.
Cor thirteen rounds of a bruising
mill with Walker, Greb fought at close
quarters. Then he cut loose. Coming
out of his corner in the fourteenth
with a terrific right, he spun the chal
lenger around with a blow’ to the jaw.
Another right found the same mark
as "Walker went to the ropes, and for
the first time since he became cham
pion of the 147-pounders the Eliza
beth, N. J., boy was staggered and
groggy.
Walker Fights Back.
Greb leaped upon Walker and drove
, him from rope to rope. The chal
lenger, his face bleeding in three
places from steady pounding, strove
to protect himself, and then, in one
final effort, he lashed out with right
and left at the astonished Greb.
The rally kept the middleweight
champion at bay until the bell and
be went vigorously after a knock
out In the fifteenth, but instead of a
wilting foe he found a wounded lion.
Six times Walker ripped sledge-ham
mer drives into the Pittsburgh man’s
stomach until Greb, recovering, went
back at his opponent.
A crowd of 65,000 was electrified
by a spectacle of two champions belt
ing each other. The final bell found
them—Greb majestic in a clever and
decisive victorv over a foe he out
weighed at 159 by 7 pounds; Walker
great in an exhibition of lighting
pluck which cost him none of his
prestige as a champion welterweight.
, The battle had the.spectators on toes
throughout with its speed. Walker, a
dangerous hitter at a distance, was
given few’ opportunities to mix, as he
would like to have done. Grab quickly
took the fight to close quarters, where
he used bis W’eight and every trick he
knew to outscore Walker with a fly
ing right that never ceased in Its
windmill journey.
Greb held his left straight from the
shoulder as he waded in, and then, as
Walker was forced to crouch and play
for the body, Greb hurled him against
the ropes and opened cuts on his
mouth, cheek and ears.
Both men proved that they could
absorb punishment. Greb's attacks
were met by terrific wallops to the
stomach, but he never flinched.
Walker stood up under Greb’s un
tiring fire at short range until the
fourteenth.
Eddie Purdy, the referee, was dam
aged almost as much as the boxers.
He was spilled four times trying to
break them in clinches, and he limp
ed with a bad leg after his first fall.
Wills Scores Quickly.
Wills, who has for several years
perehed patiently on Jack Dempsey’s
doorstep, has muscles that are still
limber and strong. At 213 pounds he
had nearly 30 pounds on Weinert.
Wills quickly put Weinert on the de
fensive in the first round and then
finished him after 1 minute and 45
seconds of the second. Perhaps Jack
Kearns took note if he sneaked into
the fight, from which the State com
mission barred him because he would
, not match Wills and Dempsey.
Jimmy Slattery's defeat gave the
crowd its greatest shock of the night.
Slattery had been winning spectac
ular fights in New York, and was a
strong favorite. The clever Slattery
1 could not solve the crouching, bouno
ing Golden Gate enigma. A sharp
left hook in the third caught Slat
tery squarely on the button, and he
went down to come up at the count
of nine. Down he went twice more,
then, as he was stumbling around the
ring), a. towel fluttered from his cor
ners

BY FAIR PLAY.
XJEW YORK, July” 3.—What rivals
can "Harry Greb expect to meet with
the hope of inducing large numbers
“ of fans to turn out and see the bat
tle?
Nfc* one in the class which he rules,
the middleweight division, reveals
any possibilities of giving Greb a
tough hold. He is supreme in his
realm, and the chances are he will be
seen talcing on the big fellows in im
portant bouts that lie ahead of him.
He had nothing much to win by
pasting Mickey Walker as he did —
nothing much —that is, outside of a
large wad of 1,000 dollar bills. But
battle turned out he earned
mure friends by the sort of battle he
put up against the welter champion
than he has ever had before.
For when all is said and done the
crowd loves a fighter, and the Fitts
bitimk windmill is all of that.
Where he heat Walker last night
before an immense throng at the Polo
Grounds was in superior speed at
times when speed was required to
plac»-hmt out in the lead, and superi
ority also in a department of milling
• In which it was thought Walker
would excel, namely, in-fighting.
Hits Cleaner Blows.
Greb not only got in cleaner blows
vi hen the two were tied up in knots,
-but he had the ability to get his
weight behind them. So much so, that
Mickey’s head was jarred so hard that
th« water* dropped onto his dome by
the seconds between rounds spattered
out as it does from a setter dog's hack
when he shakes himself after a
plunge.
It was a great fight, though. There
nevejr was a better one. Both men
made a dog fight out of the bout every
foot of the wav, and the crowd milled
with them, so engrossed were they in
the combat.
, All 1n all, Harry, as said, was a
shade too fast for WaJker. and at the
same time he put more dynamite into
his wallops than Walker, or anv one
else, for that matter, thought he pos
sessed. Time and again Greb brought
his punches up from the floor with
TNT tags on every one.
One of them, in the fourteenth
round, caught Walker flush on the
chin, and Mickey sagged, as though
, about to fall, lie stumbled and wal
lowed about while Greb vainly nought
an opening for the kayo wallop. He
lurrtmed Mickey as the Kereighhead
hoy has never been punished before,
and to his credit he it said he took it
like a champion that he in, and lasted
out the round.
Not only did he last, but in the
, fifteenth he came out with his bulldog
rush ajjd set the fans wild bv his
frenzied effort to change the tide, of
If battle. But he could not do it. Greb
was master, and he remained so. It
was a fight aucl; as one- might expect
SPORTS.
; to see waged between two game, cour
‘ ugeoufi, skillful, pugnacious cham
pions. and the good big man beat the
i good little man.
The Wills-Welnert bout was a crime
from the start. Charley is to be cred
ited for his gameness, but more than
• this nothing can be said for him. He
was outclassed by a bronze giant, who
weighed 30 pounds more than he did,
and the wonder is not that he was
knocked out in the second round, but
that he did not receive mortal in
juries. One of Wills’ body blows de
livered almost at the outset not only
raised a big bruise, but cut the flesh
’ just under the kidneys. The humane
1 fans were relieved when Weinert was
! finally revived in his corner and able
to leave the ring.
But the big sensation of the evening
was Shade’s knockout of Jim Slattery,
the Buffalo sensation, who was looked
upon as the coming unbeatable phe
nom. In speaking of the bout the
other day, the writer said that Slat
tery might be in for a peck of trouble
1 from this lean-jawed Californian, this
shifty, experienced, hard-hitting vet
eran of the ring.
As it turned out, Shade proved that
he knew altogether too much for the
; Buffalo middleweight. Slattery never
did get set for a blow, because the
weaving method that Shade employed
deprived his opponent of anything
that faintly resembled a stable target.
But Slattery proceeded cooly enough
and the fans were all waiting for the
time when he would solve the West
coast lad’s style and plaster him
when crack! Slattery it was who was
j plastered while the customers rubbed
I their eyes
| Jimmy got up, but was put down
again, and up he got again, when his
manager humanely threw a towel into
the ring to save him from possible
serious injury. Slattery showed his
lack of experience against a past
master of boxing, who knew how to
take advantage of it.
Mickey Walker, had he beaten
Greb, would have gone after light
heavies. He will have plenty to do In
his own division, principally against
Dave Shade, who stands as challenger.
If Walker knew that Shade was as
good as he showed last night, no won
der he has been evading him.
From the looks of things a battle
between the two would be a great set
to, and one that the fans would pay
heavily to see. Here is a tip for some
ambitious promoter.
MINNESOTA BERTH
IS TAKEN BY SPEARS
MORGANTOWN. W. Va., July 3.
Dr. C. W. Spears, head coach of foot
ball at West Virginia University for
four years, has definitely accepted a
similar position at the University of
Minnesota. He will leave immediate

involved, nor any cause for dissatis
faction with local conditions on the
part of Spears, except of an all-round
program of physical training. At,

faculty standing as a professor, a
distinction not accorded the coaches
here, and will also have a position in
the student health service, gtvlng
him an opportunity to pursue his vo
cation as a physician.

victories in his four years win
ning 30 games, losing 6 and tying 4.
Three of his five defeats came in his
first year. In scoring his teams were
among the country's leaders with
946 points to 206 for the opponents
in his four years.
Director Stansbury announced that
he had called a meeting of the tin!- 1 -
versity athletic board for July 10 to
consider the appointment of Spears*
successor, and that in the meantime
there would be no announcement to
make on the subject.

| DEMPSEY COMPLAINS
OF LACK OF RIVALS
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 3. —Jack Dempsey,
in a signed article to he published in
the Weekly Dispatch on Sunday,
says:
“1 am unemployed because there
are so few fighters who would give
the public a good show for their
money if we met. Nobody is more
anxious to get into the ring than I
am.”
The champion sees little prospect
of any W’ork before July of next year,
when he is to meet Gene Tunney. He
disclaims suggestions that he is hold
ing out for high prices, declaring his
willingness to fight at any time on a
percentage basis.
Advance notices of the article were
given out today.
Dempsey is to spar nine rounds to
morrow’ night at Brighton a.» the
feature of a boxing tournament, the
proceeds of w’hich will go to the
Royal Sussex Hospital. ,
The champion will go three rounds
each with Phil Scott, who is consider
ed a likely future heavyweight cham
pion of England; Eddie Eagan. Oxford
Rhodes scholar and Olympic heavy
weight champion, and Capt. Ernest
Chandler, former amateur heavy
weight titleholder.
BOWEN BEATS DUNDEE
IN BARRACKS’ SCRAP
Boxing was resumed last night at
Washington Barracks after a consid
erable length of inactivity, and a
fair-sized crowd was on hand to wit
ness the work of the leatherpushera.
In the main bout of the evening
Eddie Bowen of Washington gave
Hank Dundee of Baltimore a neat
trimming in 10 rounds. While Bowen
is given eight out of the ten rounds.
It was not a one-sided fight by any
means and the walloping Wop from
the Monumental City was in there
swapping punches all the way.
Dundee took the first and sixth
rounds —the others were Bowen's.
In a hot mix-up on the ropes in
the fifth round Bowen caught Dundee
flush on the Jaw with a terrific left.
The Baltimorean took the count of
nine and aro.se groggy, but managed
to stick the round out. Again in the
seventh Bowen dropped his man with
body punches and it looked like a
knock-out victory, but again the
gameness of Dundee showed to the
front and he was in there fighting
as the gong rang, ending the last
round.
Staged as the semi-final, the bout
between Jack Kaufman of the Naval
Reserves and Jack Cody of Fort
Myer was short and sweet. Both
boys went after it hammer and tongs,
with Cody having a distinct ad
vantage. Kaufman was warned sev
eral times for hitting low and in the
second round was disqualified on a
low blow on which there could be no
question.
Pep Albee had the better of Joe
Piscatelli of Fort Myer at the end of
four rounds. The boys stood toe to
toe and swapped punches until they
were arm-weary.
Jack Cafoni, Washington Barracks,
had the tetter of Kid Slamey in six
rounds. Slamey was fast and caused
the Army lad to miss considerably,
but Cafoni did practically all the
fighting.
Harry Sheehy (Kid Sullivan), who
was a topnotcher when the present
day crop of boxers were in dresses,
put on an interesting four-round ex
hibition with Gene Marchaud of Fort
Monroe.
Marty Gallagher, who recently won
the South Atlantic amateur light
heavyweight title, went four rounds
with Soldier Macfarland of the Army
War College in a special exhibition.

By the AuocUtrd Preu.
SEAGIRT, N. J, July 3.—The world small-bore rifle record w«i
broken twice and tied once in the fourth annual Eastern zone small
bore championships at the State range.
Scoring a perfect 250 bull’s-eye total, R. H. McGarrlty of the
National Capital Rifle Club of Washington, I). C., won the national
championship and displaced the old record of 248 bull's-eyes.
Russell Wiles of Chicago, who took second, also beat the old
record w’ith his score of 249, and Edward Smelter of the Roosevelt
Rifle Club of New York was third, with 248. McGarrlty shot at

He is holder of the world records at 100 and 200 yards, and was

year.
GLENDON DEFINITELY OUT
AS NAVY ROWING MENTOR
BY LAWRENCE PERRY. _
NF.W YORK, July 3.—Just when the rowing situation at the Naval
Academy appeared to have been settled, dark clouds boiled up
over the horizon. Before the academy authorities could shorten
sail their bark had been overturned.
All of which is figurative nautical language, designed to set forth
the fact that young Richard Glendon and the Navy have parted com
pany after announcements had been made by both parties that all mis
understandings had been patched and that Glendon would sign a contract
to coach at least another year.
The trouble seems to be that Glen
don. a. young man, believes he has
attained status as a coach which
should absolve him from attending
any longer to the grind of conducting
physical education at the academy.
There may he no question as to his
status. Richard Glendon ranks with
Edward Leader and Russell Callow
as a very great teacher of aquatics.
The three of them stand out alone. It
would not be extraordinary were
Glendon, who, of course appreciates
just how and where he stands, to
hold some pretty rigid views as to
his value as a rowing coach.
This being so, it would still not be

The trouble Is that the Navy ath

Jack Beresford, Jr., of London, present
title holder, today defeated Walter M.
Hoover of Philadelphia, In the elimi
nations for the Diamond sculls of the

Beresford won by three lengths.
His time was 8 minutes and 27
seconds.
The Leander Club eight, holfler of
the grand challenger cup, easily beat

heat for the trophy.
The Leanders were stroked by the
American oarsman, W. P. Mellen.
Rowing experts were much sur
prised at Hoover’s defeat. He was all
In at the finish and sat for three
minutes without moving. He dis
played disappointing form during the
race by comparison with his work
yesterday. His style was slightly
ragged and the length of his stroke
not as good as heretofore.
Hoover and Beresford started at a
great pace and kept even with each
other for the first 50 yards. Beresford
spurted first, and pushed his boat a
, few feet ahead of Hoover’s at the 200-
yard point, but by rowing strongly
Hoover gradually overhauled the
Londoner and at the quarter mile they
were even again.
There was little difference between
them for the next 200 yards, but a
spurt by Beresford put him a half
length ahead at the mile post.
Beresford maintained this lead for an
other quarter of a mile and then
forged further to the front depsite the
American's gallant efTort to reduce

Charest and Graves Are Opposing—Matches
Also Carded in Other Classes.
INTEREST today will center around the two semi-final matches of the
men’s singles in the District tourney in progress on the Dumbar
ton courts.
Cedric Major, the New York star, and Tom Mangan, present title
holder, were to meet at 3 o'clock, and Clarence Chares* and John Temple
Graves -were to take the courts at the same hour, thus furnishing the.
gallery with a two-ring exhibition, promising brilliant tennis and some
close scoring.
CAMERAMEN ARE THERE;
FILM STAR IS MISSING
Some bright lad entered the
name of Barbara La Marr at the
top of the women’s singles list
for the District tennis tourney—
Just to start the ball rolling.
Several zealous reporters, copy
ing the entry lists, remarked par
ticularly upon the promised par
ticipation of the movie star and
forthwith a little army of photog
raphers hied themselves to Dum
barton Club, the battleground, to
catch her in a new kind of action.
Great was the disappointment
when it was learned that Miss La
Marr’s name had been placed there
as a joke and that mere tennis
players were the only “game'' for
the cameramen to “shoot.”
LENGLEN AGAIN WINS
WIMBLEDON HONORS
By the AHKoHated Pr^ns.
WIMBLEDON, England. July 3.
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen of France won
her sixth Wimbledon women’s tennis
championship today, defeating the
English girl champion, Joan Fry, 6 2
6—o, in the final of the all England
tournament.
In the semi finals of the men’s dou
bles Jean Borotra and Rene La Coste
of France defeated the Italian-Hun
garian pair, Barons Morpurgo and
Kehrling, 11—9, 7—9, 6—l, 6—l.
The English girl was somewhat
nervous in her match with Mile. Leng
len- but played carefully and accurate
ly. and at times drove harder than her
opponent. She lost only two love
games. And the two games she won
she wrested from Mile. Lenglen s serv
ice.
Suzanne was at her best. The errors
she made were negligible. She was
contented to force long rallies and to
keep the English girl running at the
base line, while she waited for a fa
vorable moment to t turn out the win
ning stroke.
Early in the match she started play
ing to Miss Fry’s backhand, and it
was this weakness that lost the voung
English star many points.
WATERMEN TO LEAVE
FOR REGATTA TONIGHT
Both the Washington Canoe Club
and Potomac Boat Club forwarded
their shells and racing canoes to
Philadelphia last night in preparation
for the people's regatta, which takes
place tomorrow afternoon on the
Skuylkill River.
Crews that will carry the colors
of the Washington Canoe Club will
leave for the Quaker City tonight at
7 o'clock, while the huskies who man
the Potomac boats are to entrain in
the morning.
Members of the two organizations
will compete against each other in
the canoe events, but the Potomac
bladesmen will be the Capital’s sole
representatives in the rowing races.
Canoeists of both clubs have done
well on previous occasions and are
conceded a chance to cop the honors
in some of the senior events, and
Granville Gude. holder of the South
ern sculling title, should stay with
the best oarsmen of the East in the
singles championship event.
The junior eight from the Potomac
Boat Club is entering competition
for the first time.
