Harry Greb Has a Remarkable Ring Record. EORGE ENGEL, manager of G Harry Greb, who is to trade } punches with Tom Gibbons at Madison Square Garden, says a few interesting things about his fighter. “Greb, I think, 1s one of the most remarkable fighters in history, he says, “He isn’t the first middie- weight who has boxed and beaten heavyweights, of course, for good old Bob Fitzsimmons did that. But Bob posséssed a punch that would knock over'a house, figuratively, which en- abled him to cope with the big fellows, Greb rs no mean puncher, but I must admit he isn’t a terror when it comes to hitting. He licks the big boys be- cause he is so fast and he never stops tearing. side Miss Baker uniformly came up into “Greb is a legitimate middieweight. | midcourt to practically turn the bali He never weighs more than 168|ack for clean acing shots in many in- stances, pounds.

I am willing to match Greb with any heavyweight in the world, Dempsey, Fulton, et al. Harry was at the ring- side in the Garden the night Fulton fought Madden. He could scarcely sit still. He moved with every punch and kept murmuring to me: ‘Gee! I would give $5,000 for a chance at Ful- ton to-night!" “Greb and Dempsey have boxed several times in the gymnasium. The last time they met was at Van Kel- ton’s Open Air Stadium in New York when Dempsey was training for Bren- nan, Harry cuffed Jack around, cut _ _ his eye and did a lot of things to ™~him, His one ambition is to soms day get a crack at the ‘Manassa Mauler.’ “He honestly thinks Dempsey would be ‘duck soup’ for him. In his last fight with Tom Gibbons, Harry chaged Tom all around the ring and for ‘a long time Gibbons would not congider another match. reb suw active service in the during the war."
