Johnny Wilson tosses! away a four to two lead in Midison Square Garden last night and Harry Greb retained his title as middleweight champion of the world. Mindful of somethings said about "judging in New York. Greb stepped out when Wilson blew up and piled up such a margin on points that the judges couldn't possibly have made a mistake. Many of tho crowd of ILiwj that paid more than to see the fight trickled out from the 13th round on and took it for ' ranted tha( Greb would win the decision. Up to the seventh round Wilson looked like a sure winner. He seemed to have solved the erratic style of the (hampion and his terrific left hand punches to the body had Greb winded, tired, sick and in danger of being stopped. 1 O—■■ 111 C. M*. Andrews, of Monroe, was a business visitor here today. , J. Human, of Pb asant Mills, looked after business interests here today.

MARYS Local Independent Net Five Scores 27-23 Win Over Buckeyes The Decatur Leaders journeyed to St. Marys, Ohio, last night and returned home with a 27-23 victory, gained in a hard-fought contest with the St. Marys Athletics.

S. girls won at Portland; D. C. H. S. defeated J. B. C. here, and the Leaders were victorious at St. Marys. Ohio. The only Decatur team to lose last night was the Central school eighth graders who dropped a contest to the Huntington eighth graders atf Huntington. The 1. B. C..boya didn't need to know how to operate an adding machine to add up their scores last night. They didn't score fast enough to require short hand to record the points, either. The way the D. H. S. points were scattered among four jplayers night is gratifying. A team that can boast four sharp-shooters is hard to beat. You can't call that a one-man team. t The same holds good with the D. C. H. S. team, also, as there were four regulars taking an active part in the .scoring last night. Did Huntington walk all over Anderson last night? Well, hardly. Anderson 49; Huntington 27. From the Portland CommercialReview yesterday: "The Panthers will be outweighed by several pounds, as usual, besides a few of the Decatur players were all-state men last year." Not over five of them, anyway. Fanny Fauette says that when a Portland shiek asked her to drink soda water with him after the game there last night, she didn't have the heart to ask him for the cash to apply on her tournament fund so she had her first drink in two weeks. Th? acorekeeper just marked up win No. 14 for Frankfort and Dunkirk. Keep your glimmers on Muncie. Any team that plays one of the Fort Wayne high schools is a 'strong' team. Wabash was a “strong" team last night for the first tini' this season, Central winning in th>- last minute. 24-23.
