JACK JOHNSON
READY FOR
TRAINING
(By United Press Leased Wire)

CHICAGO, March 11.-Jack John,
son, looking capable of doing any
kind of rough training today is
making preparations to assemble
his corps of trainers prior to leav-
ing here for San Francisco.
Johnson probably will reoccupy
his quarters at the Seal Rock house
on the ocean beach at San Fran
cisco. The dusky champion trained
there before his recent fight with
Stanley Ketchel, and he expressed
himself as satisfied with it's advan-
tages.
Jack desires to cut short his pre-
liminary training here and hasten
to California in order to become ac-
climated. He realizes that there is
deal of hard work cut out for him
on July and he is . taking better
care Of himself than be did two
months ago.
The negro looks lean and fit and
weighs about 225 pounds.
He has engaged Kid Cutler as his
trainer, while among his trainers in
San Francisco will be "Gunboat"
Smith, Heaney and Furey.

BASKETBALLERS
PLAY FOR TITLE

"Will Gonzaga be the city basket
ball champion after tonight?"
With the above question struggl-
ing fos an answer in the minds
of the Y. M. c. A. and Gonzaga
college basket ballers, the big
game on the college floor tonight,
the second of the city champion
affairs. promises to be even harder
fought than that of last Saturday,
which went to the collegians by a
score of 24-17.
The lineup of the teams will be
almost identical with that of the
opening game. 1t is conceded that
the collegians will have big ad.
vantage on their home floor, but
the "Y" men were plainly off form
last Saturday and expect to spring
a surprise on GOnZaga tonight.

THE FIGHTING GAME
Reviewed ON Rome Francisco
BY TIP WRIGHT.
CHAPTER IT.

The fighting game was immortal
lied by Homer, and mythology had
its champions. Pollux and his twin,
Castor, the result of the intrigue
between Jupiter and Leada, mother
of Helen of Troy, fought their way
to a seat on Mount Olympus. The
sign of Gemini in the zodiac repre-
sents the twin scrappers. Possibly
they were the original of Mike"
and Jack" (Twin) of Boston.
Amycus, king of the Bebryces,
son of Neptune and Melia, was a
tough nut" He met corners until
the Argonauts reached his port and
his challenge was accepted by Pol
, lux. Amycus was a crook, for he
tried to cross Pollux, who killed
him.
EryX was another demigod pug.
He was the son of Venus and Butes.
a scrapping descendant of Amycus,
and was noted as a shiftly boy with
good kick. EryX also agreed to
put away all corners in a hurry,
Y,
John l.. Sullivan" was not so orig
inal after all. Unfortunately for
posterity, EryX met up with a young
buck called Hercules, who never in
serted weighing in paragraph in
the articles or agreement or drew
the color line. Hercules won with
a punch. Eryx was buried with
harps playing.
Having introduced two pugs from
heaven (by Jupiter and one from
the sea (by Neptune), the next
champion is cross between earth
and sea. He was a son of Terra, by
! Neptune, and whenever he kissed
| his mother he renewed his strength.
Hercules put him out by grabbing
him around the waist and holding
him off the ground until he cashed
in. This proves wrestling had not
been abolished in Olympian bouts.
so perhaps the London prize ring
rules were copied from them.
OF the Homeric boxers, Epeus
and Euryalus were champs. Epeus
was king of Epei and the son of
Endymion. His father was the af-
finity of the goddess of chastity,
Diana, so his pedigree shows class.
Epeus and Euryalus fought at the
funeral of Patroclus and the former
won. Homer refers to the battle:
| "Offic;ous with the cincture girds
him round
And to his wrists the gloves of
| death are bound"
So we may take it that the fight
game on Olympus meant dirge
music for the vanquished. This
fight, the first reported. carries the
game back to 1884 b. c., in the last
year of the siege of Troy.
The game now shifts to Sicily
and Italy, with Virgil as chronicler.
Eneas. with Dares. Cloanthus, Gy-
