It was Greb's tenth year as a pro, and Tunney was younger by four years, but on this occasion youth was served a terrific shellacking. At the finish of the 15-round battle the younger and heavier man was one of the worst beaten ever to totter from a ring. Before the clang of the start- ing bell had died down, Greb was clawing and ripping at his heavier rival. In the midst of this first furious attack, Harry whipped over a right that broke his opponent's nose in twd places; moments later he opened a gash over Tunney's left eye When.

Casson Systems, 20 Spadina Road, Toronto, Twoh-top McGinnis One of the Sprightliest wits in Odle, (Putty's Tavern) Gardner, epee panicked the New York Baseball. Writers AO- SoeialiOn with his tale of a 0NC/- headed pitcher named Mhos and Porthos McGinnis, it seemed that the home club jacked color and the manager called upon his players for sue,. gestiens, know where there's, a two- headed pitcher, Skip," vouch-. Pled one of the Players, "You think that would be, a novel- ty?" "A pitcher with/ two heads, eh?" mused the ,manager, "So what if he ain't a novelty? Who else could we got to watch first and third at the same time?" "And what •a great guy to pitch double - headers!" enthus- ed, another player. "Where is he from?" asked the manager. "Walla. Walla; Washington, of course," was the reply. The great Two-Top reported to camp wearing a tuxedo, and everybody in the hotel, lobby turned to stare at him. "What are you staring at?" Two-Top demanded. "Ain't any of you people ever see a tuxedo before?" The manager soothed hi's find by telling him that there was a mascluerade ball scheduled that 'evening. Two-Top attend- ed and won first prize. He ap- peared as a pair of bookends, with a book between the two heads - a book entitled "My Son, My Son." The next day he was equip- ped with a uniform with two caps. But in •his first start as a pitcher, Two-Top and the catcher become involved in an argument. The catcher had sig- naled for a fast ball, and Two- Top had nodded yes with one head and shaken no with the other. "I'm getting sick and tired of two-headed pitchers around here," the catcher coMplained to the manager. "Don't get excited." refoin- ed the skipper. "Go out there and talk it over with Two-Top. After all, three heads is bet- ter than one." But Two-Top's heads couldn't agree and he lin- gered but briefly in the big leagues.

Feeding Birds In The Summer Time RIGHT HONORABLE WINSTON CHURCHILL'S LANDRACE BOAR "Chartwell Viking 3rd." bred four imported Swedish sows just received by Fergus Landrace Swine Farm, owned by Jack Tweddle and Harry Cassie of Fergus. One sow is seen above. The proud owners of these outstanding imported Landrace tows which were bred to this outstanding boar of Sir Winston Churchill, also received with this shipment a total of 13 imported sows and I boar of different Swedish blood lines. These ani- mals were purchased from some of the most outstanding breeders in Great Britain. This shipment makes the fourth importation of Landrace saline which the Fergus Landrace Swine Farm have brought to Fergus within the last few months. 95% of the swine in Denmark are Landrace, but in the last few years this breed' has become Very popular in England, Scotland and the United States, and many swine breeders in Canada believe they will become very popu- fur in Canada. They are the bacon 'type hog, longer than .many of the breeds in Canada, they do not become as fat, are very hardy, and it is predicted they will play a very important roll in improving the quality of our bacon and other Pork prqducts in Canada, In June of that year I spent two weeks in southern New Jersey with 'my parents, One day someone whb knew of my interest in birds told me of a man a few miles away who at- tracted them. I called .him on The telephone and to my delight he told me that he fed birds in summer as well as in' win- ter. I shall never forget that visit and what it taught me about the fun one can have from feeding birds in summer. My-host had billy one large feedefein the,'center of his yard, hut ,he had planted along his property lirne 5, several shade trees, thickets of shrebs, and_ detise" chimps" of honeysuckle and 'grapeVines in. Which birds -could hide. their 'nests,, Cardin- als, eatbirdi, robins, *thrashers, and 'many Othe"r „birds, sat in his treetops or •shrubbery, ing,' calling, 'or :flying frOm thicket to thicket, While We watched, a flaming red cardin- al flew to the bird feeder, fed there for a few moments, then flew to a honeysuckle bush in a , corner of the yard. "Watch this," my host said quietly, He walked to the bird feed- ing station, 'took some English walnut kernels from his pocket, and spread thern on the tra.'i, of the open feeder, Instantly a clamor of young. bird voices came from the honeysuckle thicket, The male cardinal pop- ped out of the "bush, flew direct- ly to the feeder, and pick"d up a walnut kernel almost from under my host's hands. Quick- If Harry was over the hill by now, the return tilt with Tun- ney failed to prove 'it, even though the decision went against Greb. It was decided on a split decision after fifteen rough- house rounds, and was 'so close that the title changed hands on the word of Referee Patsy Haley. Before 1923 was , over Greb was again a champion after trouncing middleweight Johnny Wilson in a battle which made him look like the old perpetual- motion "fighting "machine. Two months :and ten days later Harry made another bid for Tunney's light heavyweight championship. It' was another stirring scrap, though there was no doubt as to the better man this time. If Greb had not slip- ped some by now, then Tunney was much improved. •They met twice again in non-decision ten- rounders. In one, at Cleveland, the going was again close. In the -other, at St, Paul, Greb got a severe going over. According to Tunney, it was in a late round in this fight during a clinch that Greb said: "Gene, don't knock me 'out." Still, Harry looked anything but washed up only a little more than three months later in his famous fight w it h Mickey Walker, then welterweight king. Mickey scaled 152 for the con- test, and only the heavier man's laurels were at stake. Though Mickey gaVe away six pounds in this clash, he 'was to la urels on to capture the 160-pound from Harry's conqueror, 'Tiger Flowers, and to fight the tcip notchers among the heavies and light heavies, beating Paul )3er- - lenbach, Leo Lomski, Johnny Risko, King Paolinci Uzcudun - and a long list of Others, including Jack Sharkey, But egaieSt Greb, the'Toy Rull dog, as Mickey was known, ran a decided second. • Greb was definitely no longer the old Greb when he lost his middleweight laurels to Flowers, though the 15-round verdict was close. In their return encounter five months later, the edge was clearly with the- Georgia Dea- con as Flowers was known. This second setback by• the Deacon was. the Pittsburgh Windmi l's last fight. Two months and three days later on October 22, 1926, Greb was dead following,a nasal operation. However; iarry had lived suf- ficiently. long to see his predic- tion concerning his old rival, Tunney, coma 'rile. Soon after Greb's fifth meet- ing with Tunney a Writer ran into Harry and joshingly quired as to when and where was the Greb-Tunney series to be ebritiinied, Theii 'it was that Harry made ail arhazing admiS- "):Elie is One patty," Harry re- plied, "I ain positively through lighting." "Why?" We asked,, "Gene's grown too big and too strong for irie Say, that guy liar' developed a tight drive to the heart, that just about tears your insides out, Take it 'froin me, some day Teriney'll be in there righting Dempsey, when that days conms, 1'11 have nice' bet On Gene to take the heavy', eight' title." Greb collected 'a good` elienk On that fight one month before he passed'. away, Harry died af- to ease up for a breather, Harry would turn on, the heat. When ,Gr,eb opened, upon Tun- ney in the eighth as 'though'the bout had just started, Gene's backers "lost all hope. All they wanted now was to see their man go, ,the distance. This did not seeni humanly possible. Through ,the last half of the battle, the only respite afford- ech Gene" by at opponent who seemed equipped' with a half- dozen tireless arms, came when Harry pushed his victim to one side to •dry his bloody mitts on his trunks, or on the referee's shirt. But Tunney remained on his 'feet even through the thir- teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth rounds, Yes; Tunney was still on his feet at the final bell and man- aged to reach his dressing room still erect. But no sooner did the door close than he collaps- ed , unconscious on the rubbing table and Was out for several seconds. His body was so badly swollen as a result of the beat- ing that it was actually neces- sary to cut his tights off. As this .was being done, Gene re- gained consciousness and mur- mured , through his battered lips: "I'll beat him the next time !' "He"s sure got guts," was Greb's comment. It is the contention 'of some that Greb, already losing sight in one eye, was on the down- grade 'from this Tight on, but the record doesn't bear this out. The following January he beat the up-and-coping Tommy Loughran in ten of the 15 rounds fought for the 'crown Harry had wrested from Tunney. And, only 24 days later, he again put his laurels on the line aginst Tunney - which goes to prove the kind of champion Harry Greb was. 4er art eye operation on Octh- her 22, 1026, Was 'Greb the greatest of the middleweight?
