NEW YORK, Nov. 8—Harry Greb
Pittsburg’s pride in the middleweight
division, has been knocking opponents
stiff and has been defeting them on
all points with such regularity that
he now' looms up as only a possible
opponent of class for Mike Gibbons,
The great St. Paul boxer has whipped
most of the others. He is so good s
match with most in his class that he
doesn’t sound a bit too good to th«
average promoter.
In Greb, however, there is a youti
•jivho seems unbeatable. He has 1
come along so fast of late and seems I
to be so good that It is logical for him
to pick Mike. '
Severl stabs at such a match have
been made—by Pittsburg and other
promoters but it hasn’t been made
attractive enough for Mike yet. Gib-1
lions is growing out of the fight game
to a certain extent, partly because
his brother Tom looks perfectly able j
to take care of the family reputation J
and partly because Mike is reaching j
a point where he doesn't want to get j
ready to fight. His business inter- j
(»8ta have grown big and he would be •
content to drop the ring game and J
take care of them exclusively.
Promoters who have been looking j
for a long time for some one to send !
against Mike who would be able to
make it interesting for the famous
Irishman, but no one has appeared
who looks the part. Soldier Bart
i field's cries for a match haven’t been
aken seriously, for the soldier can't i
>e considered in the saiue breath with
dike, in spite of the fact that he
>nce gained a newspaper decision ov
;r Mike. O'Dowd thinks he wants a
natch with Gibbons and several pro
moters are said to have made tempt- I
mg offers for the mill, but it is pro- I
yable this match will never be made. |
Mike practically taught O'Dowd every
thing the latter knows about fighting
and has sentimental reasons for not
wanting to tangle with the latest St.
1’aul sensation.
All deductions bring the promoters
face to face with a match that will
have as one of its principals Greb and ,
as the the other Gibbons, the early
winter will see great activity looking
towards the great encounter.
Greb s record in the last few months
holds victories, among others, over
Jack Dillon and Battling Levinsky,
the two ferocious lightweights. Dillon
was scarcely able to lay a hand on the
dusive Pittsburger, while Levlnsky
vas given the scrap of his life.
Oreb recently made his first fight
before a New York audience and he
sent them home marveling after stop
ping Jack London in the ninth round'
of the fight. The original match was
with the Zulu Kid, but he didn’t show
up and London was substituted.
Oreb has an awkward, apparently
clumsy, style in the ring. He floun
ders around pounding the air with his
fists, but he has the knack of hitting
straight in spit of all his seeming in
ability to stand up straight. His
method of milling is disconcerting to
many of his opponents. Pittsburg goes
en mase to see him fight and laughs
at his funny efforts, but he is ready to
mortgage everything and bet on the
favorite son when it comes to action
—no matter what is selected to op
pose him.
I There is dissension in the Boston
American Legue club, according to re
ports filtering around the American
league.
On a recent visit to New York Jack
Barry began riding Duffy Lewis when
that player returned to the bench af
ter making a bad play on a fast ball.
The argument waxed hot until Bar
ry suddenly lifted . Lewis from the
ground and sent Shorten to take his
place.
Internal troubles is always one of
the first and surest signs of complete
disruption in a baseball club. As a
matter of fact, the Red Sox looked
like a different machine from that
which won the 1916 American league
pennant and whipped the Dodgers in
the world's series. Barry's efforts to
hold together the pieces seem doomed
to failure. A complete rebuilding is
certain.
Connie Mack's recruits, many of the
college boys he had sent to minor lea
gues are beginning to report, and the
sad-faced strategist is getting results
from them. Things look bright ir
Philadelphia for a berth near the first
division in 1918.
