CHAMPIONS GRE6 AND WALKER BATTLE IN NEXT WEEK’S FISTIC FEATURE
World’s Middleweight Title to Be at Stake When Harry and Mick t ey Meet June 12. By Times Special ' NEW YORK, June 5. —As soon as Gene Tunney and ’Tommy Gibbons leave the ring after their figfit at the Polo Grounds tonight, the promoters of th .l middleweight championship bout between Harry Greb and Mickey Walker will throw open their dormer window and begin to blat their trombones to ballyhoo trade for their show, one week later. Harry Wills will fight Charlie Weinert on the same card.
Although tha Greb-Walker fight is fraught with more decisive possibilities than the Gibbons-Tunney match or the one last week between McTigue and Berlensach, little has been heard of it because these affairs preceded it on the calendar. George Engel, once manager of Greb, picks Walker to beat Harry and become the holder of the middleweight as well as the welterweight title. Engle, who knows Grab’s style and preferences believes that the Pittsburgh fighter has made a mistake in accepting a match with so good a little man as Walker. Greb, he says, is at his best fighting bigger men than himself, because he can outspeed them and make them seem clumsy. # igainst a fast fighter of Walker’s [e, Engle claims, Greb will be y a mediocre performer and is likely to lose on points if not by knockout. Aside from the chance of a cold or indigestion, Walker is likely to enter the ring in the very best of shape as he lives moderately and never really breaks training. Greb, on the other hand, trains in a hapahazard manner when he trains at all, and only this week figured in a nocturnal episode with the police in Pittsburgh which makes it appear that his training camp keeps night hours. The Invaders will plav at Riverside diamond No. 8, Saturday afternoon and Sunday at Hill’s Camp. The Invaders would like to hear from State teams for frame* June 14 and 28, and would like to boo ka fame for July 4. Write Earl Mungor. 839 Lynn St., or call Circle 8010.

TUNNEY AND GIBBONS READY FOR BIG SCRAP
Much Interest in Tonight’s Bout and Large Crowd is Assured —Betting Rates Chances Equal. By Henry L. Farrell f United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June s.—Two ambitious candidates for the world’s heavyweight .championship that is considered dormant since Jack Dempsey took up matrimony and the movies, will battle here tonight for the position as the logical successor to Dempsey.
Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul heavyweight, and Gene Tunney will meet in a fifteen-round bout to a decision at the Polo Grounds —weather permitting. The skies were heavy and gray early today and the weather man gave no promise of rain or relief. Considering there is no title at stake, the contest has aroused more interest and greater discussion than any bou’t since the memorable Jack Dempsey-Luls Firpo fight. Fifty-Fifty Affair The betting shows a general opinion that it is a fifty-fifty proposition with one choice as good as the other. Gibbons and Tunney are both trained well. Gibbons looks better than he has at any time in the past four years and Tunney Is bigger and stronger than he has been since he became a private citizen again with his discharge from the United States Marines. Advance sales Indicate a crowd of 55.000 will be In the Giants' ball park tonight and that receipts will be more than $300,000. Gibbons has been guaranteed SIOO,OOO and Tunney is to get SBO,OOO. Main Go at 10 P. M. The first prelim is to start at 8:30 p. m. (eastern daylight time), and the main bout cannot go on later than 10 o’clock, in accordance with the New York boxing rules. When Mike McTigue lost his light heavyweight championship to Paul Berlenbach last week several prominent critics said it was the old question of age against youth, and they ventured the opinion the same legend would apply to tonight’s fight in favor of Tunney. Gibbons is 37 and Tunney Is ten years younger. Gibbons carries his age well, however. He has led a clean life all his days and today he is a better man
than many boxers at the age of 25. Gibtvm* Is Choice With far greater experience, superior boxing skill and a more accurate punch, Gibbons ought to win tonight. Tunney Is bigger, younger and stronger, but he does not know one-tenth as much as Gibbons knows. Gibbons and Tunney will each have to be on the aggressive to win a decision, and Gibbons has better equipment for the offensive than Tunney.

Do You Know?
What are the rights of the catcher or an infielder as to blocking a base in an effort to retire the runner? What are the rights of the base-runner? • • • If the cetcher or any other lnflelder has the ball in his possession before the baserunner reiiche* hia objective, the fielder has a perfect right to block the path of the runner a* he aces fit in an effort to make sure the out. . , _ The baaerunner is not restricted aa to the methods he may employ in an effort to overcome the blocking tactics of the man with the ball. A certain code of sportsmanship, however, is usually followed by the runner when he realizes the fielder ia awaltng hia arrival with the ball. If tne catcher or any other inflelder making a play at a certain base has not the hall in hie possession, he has no right to block the pathway of the runner In an effort to handicap him until the ball arrives. For such an offense the umpire should grant the base runner the base that was blocked by the fielder, whether or not the out was made.
Tribe Notes
ARMEN HILL had tough breaks Thursday. The Hem* u__J scored two runs off him in the first inning, but with tighter support they would not havfc reached the plate. Krueger made a wild heave to second that proved costly. More bad luck for Hill In the third stanza, the Hens getting three runs after the side should have been retired. Yoter failed to complete a double play and the miscue paved the way for the visitors to rally. In the same inning Schllebner got a double on a pop fly that the Tribe defense foozled. Johnny Rodapp is playing under the handicap of an injured ankle. The injury interferes with his batting, Adding and running. With Sicking in the hospital, there is no extra inflelder available. Krueger and Rehg each got three hits in the Thursday struggle. Toledo appears to have picked up a sweet swatter In Outfielder Webb. mF Maguire, Hen second sacked, continues the pace he set here it won’t be long until he is back in the big show. He came down from the Giants. Reb Russell, Indianapolis resident, is here with the Senators. He is noted for crushing the “apple.” Other former Indians with Columbus are Campbell and Baird. Bill Friel, formerly a player and manager in the American Association. witnessed the last two games of the Hen-Tribe series. He is scouting for the Boston Red Sox.
