WO young giants stood up in the afternoon sun light on a farm of a couple of hundred acres near the little town of Fair bury, a few miles from Lincoln.

This was several years ago. older of the giants yawned, and stretched, and said: "I feel like a little exercise!" The two had only been up since daylight, tending a hundred or so head of rattle, plowing up a few acres, or sowing several miles of wheat fields. I The younger picked up a chip of wood, spat on It and tossed it in the air, where it glinted yellow in the late Nebraska sun. "Wet side up we wrassle," he said laconically. The "dry" side came up.

"Box in'," said the boy, and grimly he t. older began rolling up his sleeves. Both six feet six i their wool socks, they sparred cautiously, the older looming enormous, for he was already accumulating the 265 pounds that was to aid him later in the world's champion wrestler. That was Wayne Munn. The other was Monte Minn, the latest heavyweight sensation in the boxing world, who has knocked out four professional fighters in his first four fights to a total of five rounds.

Wads Is Only "Runt." There were four boys who ran pthat farm. After Wayne there was Wade, then Monte, then Glenn. Wade is the "runt" of the family.

The Scioto course, lying in the gentle sloping Scioto Valley outside Columbus, should be just to Smith's liking. In no way is the Ohio battle scene for the open championship this month a man killing course, and this feature, if nothing else, should make "Mac" extremely dangerous from Shifting of Batteries and Era ploying Two Seti of Outfielders Brings Expenses Much Higher.

1 By Bozeman Bulger There ia a growing belief in ma jor league baseball circles that so called strategy on the field has settled too much into a series of managerial fads for example, tho chaneinz of Ditchers on the slight est provocation and the shifting of batters for left handed and right handed pitchers. The custom of emnlcrvins: two sets of outfielders for shifting pur poses, which has become almost universal, is now costing each club something like $30,000 a year. In either leaaue that amounts to $240,000. The fad of changing: Ditchers fre quently requires a staff of nine or ten now. when formerly five reg ular pitchers were considered suffi cient.

In fact, it has not been so long since pennants could be won with two first class, reliable men. day in and day out. The cost of inese large pitching staffs is even more than the maintaining of shirting outfields. "Is it worth it?" Rogers Hornsbv. whose Carriin.

als have recently been the sensation of the National league, is strongly opposed to both of these fads. He still makes the ontfiolH shift occasionally because the nlav. ers are on his payroll and must be usea, out ne has put his foot down on the fad of chancing nitnhAra every two or three innings. It can not oe denied that he is proving his contentions. At any rate he ia getting results.

Make Pitchers Responsible. Early this spring Hornsby let bis pitchers know that when they started a ball game they were expected to go thru with it and that he was going to give them the chance. "I have noticed," he explained, "that when a pitcher knows he is not going to be taken out he set ties down to work out his own salvation and turns out a better job. No man can do his best in the box when every glance over hia shoul der shows him some other pitcher warming up in the bullpen. It makes him nervous and undermin es bis confidence in himself.

Un less a pitcher has arown weak physically or is not in shape he is in much better position to solve the problem before him than a new man Just rushed into the ame. I believe that every pitcher ought to develop bis own style." 'Following out this policy, Horns by has got more results out of taw er pitchers than any other club in eitner league, according to some statistics unearthed by the St, Louis dopesters. Mostly Psychology. A few years ago the fad of tiaine right handed outfieldera when a southpaw was pitching, and vice versa, was unknown. On the old Baltimore Orioles there were nnm of the best lefthanded hitters in the world men like Keeler and McOraw but they never thought oi consiaenng themselves weak a against lefthanded pitchers.

They never cnanged. After all, why shouldn't lefthander hit lefthander just as righthanders hit riehthand. ersj Of the more modern batters Cobb, Babe Ruth. Tris Sneaker. koss loung and manv others nv.

er give way to righthanded hiitAm. Of the old timers, Keeler, McGraw, uonnn, iJaxer and, Seymour never thought of such a thing. The idea has become lareelv nn of psychology. Lefthande hava been made to believe that they can not nit soutnpaws and, consequently, they get to where they actually cannot. It is much the same with nitrh.

ers at tne Dat. They have had it drilled into them so long that thw are not supposed to be good hitters that they get to where they nnt expect to hit and are alwava nnu. ing forward, to the appearance of a. pmcnnitter. They are much like the fish in the dark pools of Mammoth rv that no longer have eyes because, wunout ngnt, there is no chance to use tnem.

"All we can do is pray for rain Tuesday," Manager Dutch Zwilling stated. i in boxing from the rudiments up. I went at it just as I would have gone at a new course of study in the university. I concentrated and actually memorized my Instructions, and finally got some of them down to second nature. It's a lot of run," and Monte had a look of enthusiasm which showed that money wasn't the whole thing in his case.

"Did the boxing on the farm help any?" "I suppose not much, except to help build us up." "Does Glenn expect to do anything in the line of sports?" "He's too young to figure on that yet. He goes to the niversity next year and, of course, he will play football." We remarked on the gigantic qualities of the Munn family. "Yes, my father and mother were both big folks. They both died when I was a kid. But if you think we're big, you should have seen a cousin of mine, who came over from the old country to visit us once.

WVre of Scotch Irish origin, you know. Well, this cousin was six feet nine inches tall and he made Wayne look like a Pekinese. You see this hand?" Monte held out a mitt the size Of a policeman's foot. "WelL alone side of my cousin's hand mine looks liKe Mary Pickford's." Not Enough Room. Monte then told about his training difficulties on Manhattan.

"The darn island is so little 1 have tn run all over it to get any exercise, ne said. "I'll bet I've covered every foot of it. The subwava I keep ou tof, and the night life never bothers me, because I never 4 did drink or smoke or carouse around any." "Any of your onoonenta vr hudt you?" "No, I haven't been hurt vet. I guess it's ecause nobody has hit yet." At moment Dan Hickey came up. "What do you think of him, Dan?" we asked the ohj Irainer and the man who made Berlenbach, who has "seen 'em all since John L.

Sullivan." "He is the most promising heavyweight prospect at this stage that I ever saw," which is the stereotyped reply of all mangers. But Dan Hickel went on: never saw any one learn as fast. He didn't know a thing when he. first came here. And of course he's still green.

But he's naturall yfast and can hit "When Monte first' arrived he weighed 252. Now he weight 207, but his best weight will be about 210 or 215. A few more third raters and he'll be read for the seconds and then you think, a college education helps a man to learn how to fight Do you recommend college to a fighter," I asked Hickey. 1 dofl't know about that," he laughed. "Butwithout doubt that is one reason Munnn learns so fast.

His mind 4s trained. He understands immediately what you tell him. You have to tell some fighters a thing half a dozen times before they get it." Here Monte cut in: "Don't figure on the college education business, for there never was a college graduate who ever did much In boxing." He Is Strong Sigma Nu. He got started telling of his college days. He is a strong fraternity man a Sigma Nu.

When I told him my fraternity he waxed enthusiastc. Told of class and col lege politics and how he worked at it 'And It all used to be so important," he mused. "The other day I met the only fellow who ever blackballed me out of a fraternity this was a law frat He said to my face he didn't like me then. I laugh with him now, then I would have wanted to crown him. Funny how seriously we used to take those, All this sounded strange from the lips of a man who may some day be the heayvweight prize fight champion of the world.

"Is the study of boxing as hard as a college course?" "Depends on how you work at it I never had a more inspiring prof, than Prof.fi Hickey here. He can sure put it over. Why I'll bet there isnt'an yman who can lay a glove on Hickey to this day, no matter who he is." I HORNSBY RECOVERING I FROM AN OPERATION ST. LOUIS, July 5.U.F Rogers Hornsby, manager of the St. Cardinals, is recovering from a minor operation and expects to rejoin his team next week.

Scioto, while not severe, is quite narrow and this also should improve Smiith's chances, as it Is seldom "Mac" is seen swinging his niblick to escape from trouble. Coming from a family of champions, Macdonald Smith quickly gave an exhibition of his prowess on the links when he captured metropolitan honors twelve years ago with one of the lowest totals ever scored for the sectional event. His control and wizardry with all clubs was so marked that Alex Smith, an older brother who had won a flock of titles, remarked to the writer that "Mac" then was a greater golfer than he had ever been. Just when many were predicting a wonderful career for the youngest Smith, "Mac" began to decline in health and soon withdrew from competition. After a long sojourn in California his health improved, and in 1923 he reappeared on the links when he entered the English classic and finished near the top.

The first automobile was driven across the continent In 1903.

It was a two cylinder demon of tho road. The trip required sixty three days, and at one time the adventurers were without food for a day and a half. And in the same year the second journey was made, by another pair of enthusiastic motorists, and they used a "one lunger" for the hazardous journey. Tho time was cut by ten days. The next attempt required seventy three days.

Accounts of these trips read very much like the stories current in the newspapers nowadays regarding men who fly across the ocean or around the world or over the north pole. Yet only twenty three years have intervened. The three first trans continental tourists blazed trails for the countless thousands who. two decades later, now hum over paved and gravel roads, giving thought to nothing but the scenery and the fishing. It is predicted that within another two decades paved highways will link the two oceans.
