By the N Associated Press EW YORK, July 3—The wor! snugly fitted to the head of 1d middleweight ring crown was still Harry Greb today after 15 tempest- wous rounds of fighting with Mickey Walker, welterweight king. Theirs was the final bout of four thrilling struggles for charity last night Harry Wills, the ring of the Polo Grounds marked by two stunning knockouts. veteran negro heav rounds to dispose of the Newark comebac yweight challenger, took only two ¢, Charley Weinert.

Floored three times in the third round, Slat- n his seconds tossed in the towel. jack Sharkey and Joe Lynch, rival veteran bantams, fought a four- round draw. For thirteen rounds of a brulsing 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 st time since he became cham- the 147-pounders the Eliza- N. J., boy was staggered and pion of eth, STOREY 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 protact 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 he 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 victory over a foe he out- weighed at 159 by 7 pounds; Walker great in an exhibition of fighting 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. Creb quickly took the fight to close quarters, where he used his weight 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 Plfl)‘ 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 & strong favorite. The clever Slattery could not solve the crouching, bounc- 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.

NEW YORK, July 2—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? Nt one in the class which he rules, the middleweight division, reveals 1 possibilities of giving Greb a tough hold. He is supreme in his realm, and the chances are he will be seen taking 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 Inrge wad of 1,000 doliar bills. But as #he battle turned out he earned more friends by the sort of battle he put up against the welter champion than he has ever had hefor For when all is said and done the crowd loves a fighter, and the blasgddes indmill is all of that Wiere he beat Walker I before an immense thr in the lead department of millin was thought Walker namely, in-fighting.

There never 15 a hetter one. Both men made a dog fight out of the bout every foot of the way, and the crowd milled with them, so engrossed were they in the combat. ALl in all, Harry, as sald, was a de too fast for Walker, and at the Same time he put more dynamite into his wallops than Walker, or any one else, for that matter, thought he pos- sessed. Time and again Greb brought hix 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. e stumbled and wal- iowed about while Greb vainly sought an opening for the kayo wallop. He larryped Mickey as the Kereighhead boy has never been punished before, and to his credit be it said he took it like a champion that he is, and lasted out the round. Not only did he last, but in the fifteenth he came out with his bulldog rush apd set the fans wild by his frenzied effort to change the tide of hattle. But he could not do it. Greh was master, and he remained so. It was a fight much as one mizht expect sh Pitts- i superi- | to see waged between two game, cour- ageous, skillful, pugnacious cham- plons, and the good big man beat the 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, land 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 fans were relieved when Weinert was finally revived in his corner and able {to leave the ring | But the big sensation of the evening Shade’s knockout of Jim Slattery, 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 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 plastered while the customers rubbed their eves 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 possibie 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. It Walker knew that Shade was as £ood as he showed last night, no won- der he has been evading him. ° From the looks of things a battl between the two would be a great set t0, and one that the fans would pay heavily to see.

Va., July 3.— ball at West Virginia University for four vears, has definitely accepted a similar position at the University of Minnesota. He will leave immediate- 1y to take up his duties there This ‘announcement was made by H. A. Stansbury, director of athletics, for the Mountaineers today. The announcement followed a hectic two weeks of negotiations, rumors. announcements and denials, but the decision was not made final till last night. There were no salary differences involved, nor any cause for dissatis- faction with local conditions on the part of Spears, except of an all-round program of physical traiping. At Minnesota Dr. Spears will have full faculty standing as a professor, a distinction not accorded the coaches here, and will also have a position in the student health service, giving him an opportunity to pursue his vo- cation as a physician. Spears had a remarkable record of victories in his four vears here, win- ning 30 games, losing 5 and tying 4. Three of his five defeats came in his first year. In scoring his teams were among the country's leaders with 346 points to 206 for the opponemts in_his four years. Director Stansbury announced that he had called a meeting of the uni~ 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. |TUNNEY AND HERMAN WILL FIGHT TONIGHT KANSAS CITY, Kans,, July 3 (P).— Giene Tunney, American light-heavy weight boxing champion and recent conqueror of Tommy Gibbons, will | meet “Itallan Jack” Herman, New York heavyweight, in a 10-round no- deciston bout here tonight. Herman will have the advantage in weight, but Tunney is a decided fa- vorite. Billy Gibson, manager of Tunney, announced today he would confer in New York with Jack Dempsey on the latter’s return from Europe in an ef- fort to match Tunney with the heavy- weight champlon this year. Gibson said he would urge Labor day as the date for the battle.

Greb Proves Supremacy as Middleweight : Semi-finals On in District Net Event NEW YORK STAR AND TRIO OF LOCAL LIGHTS PLAYING By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 3.—Jack Dempsey, in a signed article to be published in the Weekly Dispatch on Sunday, says: “I 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 T The champlon sees little prospect of any work before July of next vear, when he is to meet Gene Tunney. He disclalms 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 ven out today. Dempsey is to spar nine rounds to- morrow night at Brighton as the feature of a boxing tournament, the proceeds of which will go to the Royal Sussex Hospital. The champion will go three rounds each with Phil Scott, who s consider- ed a lkely future heavyweight cham- pion of England; Eddie Eagun, Oxford | Rhodes scholar and Olympic heavy- weight champlon, and Capt.

In the main bout of the evening Eddie Eowen of Washington gave Hank Dundee of Baltimore a neat trimming in 10 rounds. While Bowen is glven eight out of the ten rounds it was not a onesided 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 arose groggy, but managed to stick the round out. Again in the seventh Bowen dropped his man with body punches and it looked like a knockout 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 Barrac had the better of Kid Slamey in six rounds. Slamey was fast and caused the Army lad to miss considerably, but Cafonl did practically all the fighting.

Hoover of Philadelphia, in the elimi nations for the Diamond sculls of the Henley regatta. Beresford won by three lengths. His time was 8 minutes and 27 seconds. The Leander Club elght, holfler of the grand challenger cup, easily beat the London Rowing Club in today’s 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 Foover 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 other quarter of a mile and then forged further to the front depsite the American’s gallant effort to reduce {the gap between the boats which 300 | Yards from the finish was 115 lengths | i | Walter M.
