By Vincent Treanor. M GIBBONS'S reputation as a | prospective opponent of Jack Dempsey or even Georges Car- pentier is badly punctured to-day He went through fifteen rounds with Harry Greb of Pittsburgh at the Gar- den last night and deserved to lose, as the judges and referee unani- mously agreed he did. He was a 3 to 1 favorite, too. He permitted Greb to outslap and outgame him at mo- ments when a show of the real fight- ing spirit might have ended the bout with a knockout in his favor. Tom, judged on his last night's showing, is Jacking in a mysterious something. He is of an odd type. He looks as if he could do things and then doesn’t At st that's how he appeared against Greb. As for Greb, he won alright, but in doing so really elim- inated himself as a serious rival of Dempsey. Jack could beat both of them easily. ‘A great crowd, perhaps the classiest which has ever attended a boxing show at the Garden, representing as it did over $117,000 in gate receipts, sat through the bout, more or less amazed at the spectacle of a well muscled bigger man, apparently the harder hitter and the more scientific at an all round display of the boxing art, permitting a harmless fistic jumping jack to outflay him. Geeb certainly didn't outpunch Gibbons In fact he never seriously hurt him, for at th® end all the St. Paul man showed as the effect of battle was a split under lip and a red blotch ih the small of his back above his trunks, It is possible, however, that the Pitts- burgher did discourage his bigger op- ponent, but if this be true, Gibbons is wanting in the qualities which real fighters supposedly possess Greb ig entitled to a world of credit for going through with his end of the job so manftully, He took everything Gibbons had in a punching line and never once showed a sign of wilting. Gibbons hit him hard and often around the becy until it seemed that he must cave in under the pun- ishment, but, always when a general collapse of the Pittsburgher seemed u few punches away, he would bounce into the fray with swishing arms, driving Gibbons into a state of bewil- derment. It wac at such stages that Gibbons could fight back but wouldn't, WOULDN'T LET GIBBONS SET. From the very start it was evident that Greb's plan was a sweeping at- tack to prevent Gibbons from setting, and he got away with it for the most part of the fifteen rounds. At first Gibbons seemed puzzled by such tac- tics, but having fought Greb before three times, there didn't seem to be any good reason why he should have been. Starting nervously, Tom didn’t shake off the unsteadiness quickly. Greb was all over him like the fly on the molasses barrel, and Gibbons seemed at his wit's end in his efforts to ward him off. Greb had no particular method. He just rushed from one clinch into another, hooking, upper- cutting, cuffing, but generally whaling with no objective spots for either hand Not until the fourth round did Gib bons get his bearings. The fighting was more in the open then, He be gan to land his much discussed dig with the right over the short ribs, but at that didn’t show anything like he was expected to, He reached ROUND to a clinch ONE—Greb rushed right with a left hand on the neck, He then tied Gibbons up close quarters and drove six more punches into the general vicinity He seemed to | Gib at sea. He reached in with his left, held Gibbons around t and prodded four rights und fo the chin, Gibbons tried to ve the stomach when clear, Greb again rushed to » quarters for a hold with his left around the neck while he punched at the body with his right, Gibbons crossed over a short right at the breakaway and as thi went to locks in dug his right into Greb's short ribs They went fo @ clinch again and both held, with lefts an t ged rights into the body.

Greb seemed to have been tamed somewhat, but then along came the sixth. In this period Gibbons permit- ted the Pittsburgher with his flying ring attack to hold him at least even. GREB ALWAYS WILLING. Greb went right along, and by a brand of carefree pummeling took the seventh, eighth and ninth, He was never so far in front, however, that a g00d solid punch on the right spot wouldn't have brought him down. Gibbons looked to have the necessary wallop, too, but Greb's continuous piling in evidently robbed him of the nerve to let it go. When the tenth round came it be- came a question of when Gibbons would cut loose. He won the round, and the eleventh, too. He landed many good body punches in these two periods. Once, in the eleventh, he heoked a left right to the pit of the stomach, and the crowd at the ringside couldn't restrain an O-o-oh! as it landed. Greb, however, refused to exhibit a sign for Gibbons's bene- fit that it had disconcerted him, and so Tom apparently lost the heart to tear in and find out for himself, as a Dempsey would have done, GIBBONS EASILY DISCOURAGED.

Didn't look like the old crowd when the first preliminary bout went on. The elite the orchestra floor seemed to lack enthusiasm.

The first bout brought together Kid Kaplin and Al Wagner, the Philadelphia spaghet- tl king. Both boys are bantams. They slugged and tugged at one another in the first stanza and threw science to the winds. to Joe Humphreys introduced the boys. Joe was acting as chaperon of a set of evening clothes. He looked like the originator of the Ritz. Joe also introduced Patsey Haley and Tommy Shortell as ihe judges and Johnny McAvoy as the third man. Not much of a crowd on the main floor or in the first balcony when the first pair of bruisers started Kaplin held the lead up to the sixth round. Wagner was the better boxer, but his punches didn’t bother Kaplin Vatrons were coming in right along, and the seats are pretty well occu- pied now, : The first prelim ended with Kaplin getting the decision, He was too strong for Wagner.
