WILSON GOOD AT START, BUT WEAK AS BOIR CLOSES Challenger Fades Before Champ Greb in Late Rounds of Scrap, By HENRY L. FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 19. —Blowing up like a frightened rookie pitcher In the seventh round, Johnny Wilson tossed away a four to two lead in Madison Square Garden Friday' night and Harry Greb retained his title as middleweight champion of the world. M.ndful of some things said about judging in New r York, Greb stepped out when Wilson blew up and he piled up such a margin on points the Judges couldn’t possibly have made a mistake. Fans Early Many of the crow'd of 11,000 that paid more than $50,000 to see the fight trickled out from the thirteenth round on and took it for granted that Greb would win the nec.sion. Up to the seventh round Wilson looked like a sure winner. He seemed to have solved the erratic style of the champion and his terrific left hand punches to the body had Greb winded, tired, sick and in danger of being stopped. Wilson, fighting southpaw style with his right hand extended, for six rounds slapped down Greb’s extended left hand and stepped inside his guard with left hand hooks that went deep in the champion’s stomach. Greb showed the effects of the beating and his seconds worked on him desperately in the fifth round. Champion Rallies Then in the seventh round. Just like a bush league southpaw pitcher, Wilson, for some reason hard to explain, started stepping bark instead of going in as he had been doing. He lost control and Greb went after his body. It had been figured that Greb, making a weight very low for him, would be the one that would slow up, but It was the splendidly conditioned Wll son who showed the effects of the pace. From the seventh round to the end of the bout. Greb swarmed all over Wilson. Wilson became so rattle 1 he made feeble and childlike protests against the beating he was taking.
