Harry Greb, one pi the ring's
Feats - some say the greatest,
Pound fOh, pftend "- was never
treater 'than 'the night he de-
feated Gene Tunney, May 24,
1922. It 'was the lone defeat tn
the career of the man who was
to score One of the ring's big-
gest upsets by toppling Jaek
Dernpsey from the heavyweight
throne.
,The win over Tunney earn-
irdh Greli the. American light-
heavyWeight crown. Before his
depth four, years, and five
months later the Pittsburgh
Windmill,. as Greb was known,
had trounced no fewer than ten
pugilists who attained champ-
ionships. They Were, in addition

five divisions, welter to heavy-
weight inclusive.
He scaled one-quarter of a

One-quarter less than Tunney,
the night of their first meeting,
in the old Madison Square Gar-
den. 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

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

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

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.
