FISTIC CARNIVAL IN NEW YORK—TWO OUT OF THREE FOR TRIBESMEN

Bad Weather May Interfere With Feature Card —Greb Defends Title Against Mickey Walker. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 2.—Rain threatened today to cause a postponement of the most interesting boxing show of the season which is scheduled to be staged tonight at the Polo Grounds so-r the benefit of the Italian hospital fund.

It was raining this morning and there was not much promise of clear weather in a cloud-banked sky. The promoters, however, were hopeful that it was only a shower and that the bouts could be staged. Jimmy Slattery, Harry Greb and Harry Wills arte favorites to emerge as the winners and some are taking a long shot with bets that the three feature contests will end in knockouts. Promoter Fugazy announced this morning that if the weather made necessary a postponement of the big fights, they would be held “positively” Friday. Slattery vs. Shade Slattery, 20-year-old Buffalo middleweight, is to meet Dave Shade, reqognized challenger for the welterweight championship; Harry Greb, world's middleweight champion, defends his title against Mickey Walker, welterweight champion, and Wills will try to prove himself the outstanding contender for the heavyweight championship against Charlie Weinert, a comeback from the white hope days. What money is left after the boxers are paid will be turned over to the Italian hospital fund and the Indications were that the show would be a success and that the receipts might be as much as $350,000. Only Even Choice The four-round opener between Joe Lynch, former bantamweight champion and Jack Sharkey, leading bantam contender four years ago, was the only bout on the card regarded as being an even choice. The first bout is scheduled to go on about 8 o’clock eastern daylight time and the main bout, in accordance with the New York rules, must not start later than 10 o’clock. The fighters were to weigh in at 2 p. m., in the office of the commission. OPEN - AIR WRESTLING South to Referee Reynolds-Love Bout at Broad Ripple. Jack Reynolds and Billy Love are ready for their open-air wrestling match at Broad Ripple Park Friday night. Good weather is all that is required for the success of the show, promoters believe, and with that they plan to launch the new venture on a profitable career. It is expected the match will start about 9 o’clock. Ed South will referee.
