Description
"Old Man" Meyer Grace lost a decision to young Glen Lee at the Olympic, but that wasn't the point. It was important that the old-timer actually went 10 rounds with the rugged youngster and was in there pitching at all times. In this series, Grace has uncorked a right hand with such tremendous power that when he missed lee, he nearly unseated himself. Dated January 13, 1937.
