Greb is a legitimate middle
weight, easily making 1853 pounds.
Yet he built himself up to 1853 for
his battles with Gene Tunney and
Tom Gibbons, both of whom he
defeated.
In 1918, his first year in the
ring, Joe Chip knocked him out in
two rounds. Nobody has ever
done that to him since, and six
years later Greb handed that same
Joe Chip an artistic lacing in ten
rounds. He did not knock him
out, but he did whip him beyond
all argument.
Greb, who is of Irish-G German
ancestry and born in Pittsburgh,
has been one of the busiest box
ers in the history of the game,
Indeed, many have wondered how
he succeeded in retaining his speed
and endurance with his constant
activities in the gymnasium and
In the ring. He is forever train
ing for some coming contest.
In Two Classes,
THE pittsburgh Windmill" has
fought the country's best in
two classes. As a middle
weight he has battled Frank
Klaus, George Chip, and Al
Mccoy, three former champions,
He fought Mike ODowd at St.
Paul when Mike held the title,
and finally vested it from Johnny
Wilson last August.
AS a Interchangeable Gre,
has fought Tom Gibbons four
times, winning two decisions over
him. He has met Gene Tunney
three times in Madison Square
Garden, defeating him the first
time, losing on a questionable de-
cision the next time, and finally
losing without argument.
Greb has defeated Battling
Levinsky, former light-heavy-
weight champion, number OF
times. He has whipped .Tac';
Dillon, once called "The Giant
Killer" though it must be admit
ted that Dillon was then past his
peak.
At times Greb has gone even
into the heavyweight class, tack
ling such well-knOwn heavies as
Billy Miske, Bill Brennan, Gun
boat Smith, Bob Roper, Jack Re-
nault, Homer Smith, and Charlie
Weinert,
However, Greb is really a mid
dleweight, and it is that class
that he, shows at his best.
He Surprised Fans.
THROUGH Greb's class was
well known, his defeat Of
Tom Gibbons at Madison
Square Garden in fifteen rounds
surprised the closest followers al
the ring game. Indeed, the st.
Paul man came close to losing his
chance to face Jack Dempsey on
account of it.
In 1921 Gibbons travelled around
the country flattening about every
man he tackled. His kayo vic
tins included AL Reich, Perky
Flynn, Willie Meehan, Ray Smith
Dan O'Dowd, Pal Reed, Joe Burke
and Clay Turner. He continued

These woman forget that the the people that we love most, the people who are bound closest to us, are not those to wkom we do duty, not those with whom we work, but they are those with whom we play, those who enjoy the same things we do and with whom we have a thousand joyous mem- ories in common.
 I grant that it may not always be convenient for woman to step out with her husband. His tastes may not always be her tastes. There may be a thousand times when she would rather sit at home and darn socks or read a novel than to grab her hat and go with him. But the point is that if she wants to keep her husband she has to keep up with him. It is a con dition and not theory that con- fronts us. And it is much safer to park out the baby than it is to park out q husband.

Answer: Never. No mother in the world has a right to sell her daughter in marriage to gain ease and comfort for herself, or to force her daughter into an uncongenial marriage to gratify her own prefer ence as to a son-in-law. And no girl is called upon to make living sacrifice of herself to her mother . It is selfish and wicked of the mother to ask it, and it is foolish and weak of the girl to do it. And no good ever comes of it.
 If a mother absolutely knows that the man her daughter is think ing of marrying is dissolute and im- moral, or drunken, or lazy and worthless, she is right to move heaven and earth to keep the girl from wrecking her life by marrying him. But, absolutely, that is as

But she has set her mind upon my marrying Frank, who is twenty years my senior, but who has little money, which seems very appealing to mother. Mother is a widow and, in a way, depends on me. Therefore I may be in duty bound to sacrifice love and my own happiness for my mothers hapiness. NJ. D.

A man who is of a gay and pleasure loving disposition is just bound to have some woman to play around with, and if yod refuse to be his playmate you may be certain that he will findf some other woman who will. If you refuse to go with him for a few evenings, while you sit at home and watch the baby sleep, he will find out that he can do quite nicely without you and you will be left undisturbed to the nursery.
 Many a wife loses out because she refueses to pal with her husband. She doesn't want to do the things he does, and she either won't go along with him or, when she does go, she is a spoil sport who interrupts the most hilarious joke at vaudeville show to wonder if the nurse has forgotten to warm, the baby's milk or who ruins the flavor of a supper at a restaurant by complain ing about the price of everything.
