THE FIGHTING GAME
Tip Wright toS San Francisco
BY TIP WRIGHT.
CHAPTER III.

The fighting game was immortal
lied by Homer, and mythology had
it's 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,
scrapping descendant of Amycus,
and was noted as shiftly boy with
good kick. Eryx also agreed to
put away all corners in hurry,
which is proof that Yours truly,
John l.. Sullivan" was not so orig
inal after all Unfortunately for
posterity. EryX met up with young
buck called Hercules, who never in
serted a 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 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.

JOE SEATON, BASEBALL HERO

Wednesdays game at Long Beach,
Seaton performed the unusual feat
Of striking out three Sox in a row
with men on third and second base
The beauty of his work the fans
declared, was the fact that in the
nine strikes the three unfortu-
nate SOx took. but two were "call-
ed" by the umpire. The other
seven were lusty swings. Seaton
at present is holdout from the
Seattle club. 1t is whispered here
that his work yesterday is likely to
make Dugdale see his terms.
