The Ancient Jews Were Great Boxers.

The Ancient Jews Were Great boxers.
 A pugilistic ring was fayorite game with the ancient Hebrews. If that ring was ruled by the rules of our modern "code of pugilism," l hardly can tell. The first trace of that game we find in the narrative of the Scripture is when Abner, the commander in chief to Saul, met David's general, Joab, and the for mer asked the latter, "Let the boys rise and play before us." This amicable boxing, the Scripture informs us, turned out regular slaughter, so that Abner was obliged to beg Joab in these words to stop it:
 "Shall the sword eat human flesh for ever?" From this plain narrative we can see how favorite the boxing game was among them. We can apply to the ancient Hebrews the well known prov erb in a modified form, "When Jews met Jews there was tug of war" 1t seems that a Jewish greeting was box on the ear. By the advance of cul- tured humanity the roughness of the "ring" has also been humanized.-Bos- ton Transcript.
