New York, Sept. 1.—Jack Dempsey who will defend his world's heavy- weight title against Luis Firpo Sep- tember 14, won the championship from Jess Willard, giant Kansan, in one of the most one-sided yet spec- tacular battles in heavyweight his- tory. The match was decided at To- ledo, O., July 4, 1919, and Dempsey was credited with a knockout in three rounds, though Willard did not ad- mit defeat until his seconds tossed in a towel just after the start of the fourth round.

Readville, Sept. 1,—Margaret Dil- lon, the Boston owned mare that has been challenging Single G., for pac- ing honors all season, dofeated the veteran in straight heats yesterday in the free-for-all pace on the closing day's program of the Grand Circuit meeting here. Lee Worthy, piloted by Ben White, won the Blue Hill free- for-all trot, the other feature of the day. Junior Hal captured first place in the Justin Edwards 2:15 pace. A fourth heat was necessary to decide the winning of the 2:12 trot, won in the final heat by Mary Anne, driven by Murphy. Murphy won his third victory of the day winning the 2:16 trot with Volo Chimes. The defeat of Single G. was the second of the year for the veteran pacer, now in his twelfth season. Murphy drove Margaret Dillon around in front all of the way in the first mile and held a lead too great for Single G. to overcome on the stretch. Sir Roch led two-thirds of the dis- tance in the second mile. Single G. finished third, Peter Florentine won the 2:14 trot after Bengal, spectacular winner in the first heat, broke and was distanced in the second. The scheduled 2.08 and 2.09 paces were called off owing to the length of the program. SEENATORS DEFEAT RANGERS, The Senators defeated the Rangers in 10 innings, 7-6, yesterday.

New York, Sept 1.—Harry Greb of Pittsburgh today holds his first world's championship, He ousted Johnny Wilson of Boa- ton from the middleweight throne last night by winning easily and decisively in a 156 round match at the Polo Grounds. The judges' verdict was unanimous, But while Greb fought with all his customary fire and aggressiveness it is doubtful whether he added much prestige to his record--outside of the title laurels—for Wilson proved conclusively the contention of critica that he has never measured up to reul champlonship callbre, Wilson Outfought The Boston boxer who has been in practical obscurity for the three years he has held the crown was outclassed from start to finish. He battled games ly enough and showed an occasional flash of form but he was at no time dangerous, . Greb battered away at Wilson from start to finish keeping the champlon constantly on the defensive with jabs and swings hurled from all angles as he shifted about the ring. Against thls elusive target Wilson made little progress. His few attempts at ag- gressiveness soon flickered out. He drove in some stiff body jolts now and then but they apparently had no ef- fect on the challenger. Only Small Crowd Only about 5,000 people including a springling of women were in the stands. o Vie McLaughlin of the west side, New York won the first four round préliminary from Charles Arthurs of Yonkers, which was a slashing affair, « The mén are middleweights. The second preliminary was a six round bout between two more middle- weights and was won by Paddy Flynn of Brooklyn, from his fellow towns- man, Harry Galfund The third bout was won after a six round tussle by Cuddy De Marco, of Pittsburgh from Johnny Cony of New York. The big bout by rounds:— Round 1—They sparred in the cen- ter of the ring for a minute before Wilson landed the first blow, a glanc- ing left to the body, and then went into two short body exchanges. Wil- son landed another left to the body and took a right in return. The cham- pilon retreated around the ring and Greb drove him to the ropes where the Pittsburgher got in some effective body work. From the center of the ring Wilson then drove Greb to the ropes with short body blows after which they exchanged in the center of the ring. Greb forced the cham- pion to cover up, sending both hands to the body and then the challenger did some damage at close range. They exchanged counter blows, each with one arm locked in the other's, They had a furious exchange in Greb's cor- ner, again locking each an arm and (Conunued on Foilowing Page) e —— ALL THE SPORTS GATHER AT PILZ'S SPORTING GOODS AND SMOKES BRIGS .
