ANCIENT CHEEK BOXERS
 FOUGHT WITH HEAD
 KNUCKLES FOR CLOVES.


 German delegates objected to the inclusion of boxing in the Olympic games on the score of sbrutality.' 2 They would have had real grounds for making a. kick if the boxing matches were conducted according to the classic precsdents of the ancifnt games, for in those good old days the boxers fought with their. hands and arms bound with leather thongs. to which were added lead knucks ca pablo of infiicting a death blow when they landed squarely and with full force on a vital spot.
 The same style of boxing was taken up at a later period by the giadiators of ancient Rome. and it was there that the descriptive name of pugila- tus,s from which pugilist was deriv- ed, was originated.
 Modern Greeks and Italians have by no means lived up to the reputa- ton of the ancient hstic gIa diators, all hough the latter race has produced some excellent boxers.
 The Hel1enes of the twentieth cen tur.y who have gained fame in the ring could almost be counted on the fingers of one hand About the best of these is George Contas. better known as George sKnockout' Brown, the naiddleweigat boxer. He. was born in Sparta, where were reared some Of the greatest gladiators of
 
 so a native of Greece, and a, few oth- CTS of that nationality have made but an indifferent showing at the modern glove game.
 The Italians have been more suc- cessful, although they have yet to produce a real champion. They have 8 mighty promising youngster, how ever, in Johnny Dundee, who is a. na- tive of Sunny Italy, his real name being Joe Gule,ri. His father en1i- grated to New York and opened a fish store, and Johnny was early in- itiated into the lighting game. He will be twenty-one on Sunday but he has already fought draws with the champions of both the featherweight and lightweight divisions, Johnny Ki1bane and Willie Ritchie. John ny looks like a good bet for the light weight title. and a battle between the Italian and tKesW WeIshman would probably be a dinger.
 Another native of Italy to get with in sight of the championship perch was Hugo Kelly, the midd1eweight Tony Caponi was also a good perfor- mer an that division, and So is Joe Borrel
 The list of Italian boxers of merit includes dozens of modern opponents of the noble art, among them Tony Ross, Frankie Russell, Casper Leon, Harry Dell, Frank and tBabe,, Plea to, Frankie Con1ey, Joe Coster, Kid go Clements. Jimmy Murphy and Benny Yanger.
 It was in the days of Jack Brough- ton, the second champion Of England, that the Italians had their first rep- resentative in the modern ring He was Tito Carfnf; but was known ito the eighteenth century fans of Eng

British Fight at Sc. Quentin.
"st. Quentin was the scene Of a British
fight on Sunday. On the British right
the French under General Pau scored a
distinct success. On Sunday and Mon
day, the Germans were hotly pressed near
Guise. The French hammered away at
the enemy and completely demorallzed
them. The German losses were very
heavy. A French infantry captain who
was wounded told me:
awe took the offensive and bent their
lines back TO La Fere,' he said.
The British forces are still intact and
inflieting immense damage on the enemy
The British forces bear the strain Of con-
tinual fighting even better than the
French. They appear to be an army OF
athletes in top form.
One OF the British wounded said:
These Germans seem 20 have an in
exhsustible supply OF troops. We NOV
them down and sim they come on. II Is
impossible successfully 20 oppose such a
mass OF troops unless you have big sup
ports.
"One OF the most striking things to one
who wsnders about on the firing line of
the armies is the cheerful optimism OF
the French troops. They have had some
bad times. but none OF them ars dis
eouraged and all are confident of ulti-
mate victory.
