Tendler of Philadelphia last night knocked out Bobby Barrett cf Clifton Heights, Pa., in the sixth round of theiy scheduled cight-round bout at the National Lea- gue baseball park in the presence of more than 20,000 spectators, one of the biggest crowds that ever saw a boxing match in Philadelphia. The knockout came toward the close of the sixth round, + In the first round after a cautious start, Tendler drove into Barrett with a series of swings to the body, and several sharp jabs to the face. Be- fore the close of the round Barrett was bleeding from the nose and as the gong sounded Tendler had his op- ponent well on the run. Barrett tried his vicious swings in the second yound but Tendler was too fast for him, Barrett's blows missing their mark on each occasion. Tendler did little but jab Barrett in the face with his right in this round. Barrett Hard iHit. In the next two rounds Tender | forced Barrett to take a lot of pun- ishment. The Philadelphian kept jab- bing with his right tq Barrett’s face with an o nal slashing uppercut that had his opponent bleeding frec- ly from the nose and mouth when the third round ended, The fourth was a repetition of the third with Barrett attempting more of - his wild swings, none of which landed, rendler in the meantime continued to hammer Barrett all over the body and several times had him staggering. Barrett was knocked out in the sixth with a left to the stomach.

My _ biggest |thought would be to keep from getting knocked out. “That is all I would have to do in order to win a decision bout with Dempsey, who is no harder to hit than Gibbons, and who, I feel sure, would Gibbons did. Has No Fear “I haven’t the slightest fear ‘of Dempsey, regardless of the fact that all the experts say he is much too big for me. When a fighter enters the ring there is always the danger that he may be knocked out. That is the only thing I would have to guard against. “Dempsey is strong and can hit. If he reached me on the button it would be curtains. However, I feel that in a limited bout I would be able to stay away from him. In) the meantime I would be doing so much execution that the judges would have to award me the decision.” That was the way Greb sized up Dempsey for me after the Gibbons fight. Gibbons practically had been match- ed to mect Dempsey. The bout with Greb was not treated seriously. Gib- bons’ defeat at Greb’s hands cost him a fortune. i Greb failed to receive the credit due him for his win over Gibbons. In many quarters it was regarded in the nature of a fluke—an off night for Gibbons. have as much trouble reaching me as f — HOVENT. THE SLIGHTEST Tunney Disposed Of Then Greb was matched with Gene Tunney, holder of the light heavy- weight title of America. Tunney has seen Greb ficht. He figured he knew the system that would beat him, Greb defeated Tunney even more decisively than he outpointed Gibbons. Now they are talking of a bout with Georges Carpentier, who holds the world’s light heavy title. Such a match would attract widespread attention and prove a popular. dish for fight ans. I recently had a talk with Greb after he, had beaten Tunney. Once again I put to him the question of a match with, Dempsey. His ply ‘was the same aswhen I; querie him last winter. 2 “I feel positive I can win a decision over Dempsey in a 12 or 15-round bout.” Greb is willing also—yes, even an- xious to take on Georges Carpentier before a Dempsey match. Would Settle Matters “A mecting with Carpentier would please me’ immensely,”’*said Greb. “It would determine whether the French- man or myself: is. entitled: to fight Dempsey. b. “Tam positive if I meet Carpentier there will be no further demand for a battle in England or France with Dempsey. “Size isn’t everything in the fight game. I believe I have convinced the public that a good little man is much better than a fair big one. “T have polished off Tommy Gib- bons, Charley Weinert, Gene Tunney, Captain Roper and a number of other husky heavyweights without any trou- LeROY HAS HARD .FIGHT IN FARGO Fargo, N. D., June 7.—Eddie Boehme of Milwaukee lived right up to the ad- vance publicity of the “toughest oppo- sition Russie LeRoy has ever faced” and the local lightweight idol was forced to give the best he had to get a draw with the visiting battler at the Fargo auditorium. At the start of the fight Russie danced around his op- ponent and scored enough blows to give him the, round easily. In the second stanza the itor opened up, however, and Russie allowed himself to be brought into close quarters with Boehme who ate the local’ boy up on the infighting. It was one of the prettiest fights ever seen in the city. Boehme showed himself a lightweight of real ability ‘He was aggressive and kept after Rus- sie all the time. LeRoy was not quite up to his usual form and seemed to lack some of his speed. The only weak chain in LeRoy’s battle was his inabjlity to sew up his opponent in the clinches. TENDLER MATCHED. New York, June 7.—Lew Tendler’s Isigned contract for a bout with Ben- bles without delay. MANDAN BOY | HEADS TEAN Lafayette, Ind., June 7.—Richard L. Harrison of Mandan, N. D., and a junior in the school of civil engi- neering, was elected captain of the 1923 Purdue track team, at a meet- ing of the twenty-one letter men of the squad. The election, which was unanimous, was quite popular on the campus where the crack half-miler is well liked. Harrison is completing his second year as a member of the Pur- due squad, and has been a most con- sistent point winner in the distance runs.
