Stribling Stuns Grant in Kansas City Bout
Stribling scored a rare knockdown of Babe Grant, Southwest champion, in Kansas City amid a strong rally by Grant. The veteran’s late surge left Stribling tiring as the bout progressed, echoing a prior near-collapse against Sharkey. Dave Barry judged the match amid crowd antics, while the Athletics dropped two straight for the first time in 52 games. Leaders Mack’s club hold a seven and a half game edge over the Yankees, with the Fourth of July Glen Arven tournament approaching and entries expected to exceed a hundred by qualifying day.
