The ancient Greeks not only orig mated boxing gloves-although of a kind that would hardly be popular in these days--but they also inventea the punching bag, which the boxers used in training for their battles. Tne Greek bag was made of leather and was filled with sand.
 The training methods of the ancients were much more strenuous even than tnose which prevail to- day. Their diet was extremely simple. Before a bout the boxers covered their body with oil, which they be- heved made their muscles more elas- tic.
 Castor and Pollux were the pugil- istic gods of the Creeks. and they were said to have battled their way with their fists 10 the heights of Mount Olympus. h
 Homer devoted much space to laud- ing these ancient fighters. They fought in rings even in those days thousands of years ago, for in the 'tIliad" we are told that Amid the circle now each champion
 stands
 And poises high in air his iron hands. With clashing gauntlets now they
 fiercely close
 Their cracking jaws re-ecno to the . blows

 It was knockout, and as his sec onds carry the fallen hero from the ring

MODERN BOXERS USE l.
 LAME WAR WEAPONS I~1
h lht Days of Old They Were Equipped With Lead knuck|es.
(By Mac Levy of Babylon.) )

German delegates objected to the
 inclusion of boxing in the Olympic F~Des on the score of "brutality. < They would have had real grounds for
 making a kick if tie boxing matches
 Were conducted according to the classic precedents of the ancient
 games, for in those good old days the
 boxers fought with their hands and Aruas bound with leather thongs, to < Which were xsdded lead ''knucks' capable of inflicting 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 gladiators
 of sAcient Rofne,, and it was there
 that the descriptive name of "pugil-
 atus.'' from which pugilist was de- s rived; was originated.
 Modern Greeks and Italians have
 by no means lived up to the reputa-
 tion of the ancient f1stic gladiators
 although thet,latter race has produced
 sor1f excellent boxers.
 The Hellenes of the twentieth cen l tury who have gained fame in the ring could almost be counted on the ] fingers of one hand About the best of theseeels George Contas, better
 known aGeorge Knockout" Brown, 1 heefnid d1Kw ight boxer. He was born \tn Sparta, where were reaEeA some of Bthe greatest gladiators ofv ahcient times. Anton the Greek, also a na- \ tive of Greece, and few others of Ithat nationality have made but an in- |different showing at the modern glove
 gaT1e.
 The Italians have been more. suc- kcessfail. although they shave yet to pro-
 duce a real champion. They have Smighty promising youngster, however. lin Johnny Dundee, who. Is a native of
 sunny Italy, his real name being Joe
 Guleri. His father er1igrated to New York and opened a fish store. and JohIAxy was early initiated into the fighting game. He will be twenty one on Sunday, but he has already 1 fought draws with the champions of
 both the featherweight and light
 keight divisions, Johnny Kilbane and
 Eilit Ritchie. Johnny looks like good bet for the lightweight title. and "a battle between the Italian and the PWelshman would probably be &dinger.

former in that division, and so is Joe l Borrell.
 The list of Italian boxers of merit l includes dozens of modern opponents 1 of the noble art. among them Tony Ross, Frankie Russell, Casper Leon, 1 Harry Dell, Frank and Babe 1 Picato Frankie Conley, Joe Coster,
 Kid Julian, Patsy Kline, Al Belmont, 1 Hugo Clements, Jimmy Murphy and l Benny Yanger.
 It was in the days of Jack Brough- 1 ton, the second champion of England, l that the Italians had their first rep 1 resentative in the modern ring. He ! was Tito Carini, but was known to tae 1 eighteenth century fans of England as "the Venetian Gondolier'' He had come into prominence in Venice,
 where he was the chauffeur of a gon- dola, by beating up three thugs who had attacked a young nobleman. The ruffians were armed with cold steel and Tito had only his bare fists, but
 Ire gave such a good account of them that he put the three bfavos down
 for the count.
 There was a romance mixed up in
 this as it was saids that the thugs
 had been hired to beat up the young
 nobeman-rather,. to cut him up
 by a rival in love. The Venice Even
 ing Scream gave the affair full-
 pGge story under a searehead-or so
 we imagine At any rate, Carini's prowess with his fists made him hero, and he gave up tne gondolier business to travel about Italy giving boxing exhibitionssV Like <fn osts mod ern heroes. he couldn't resist the temptation to capitalize his fame and ''go into vaudeville
 A young British nobleman. travel ing in Italy, saw Carini perform and decided to take him back and Dit him against the English bruisers, who were then enjoying great vogue. Ill a fight in Italy against "the Leghorn Pitman," Carini had shattered his op- ponent's jaw at the first blow, but ne found the British pugilists built of better material.
 Carini's first fight in England was against a big Yorkshireman named Bob Whitaker. The international as- pect of the fight attracted wide at tention. and. on the day of the match, in May, 1733, the king and great crowd of nobles surrounded the ring. The N0ncLldH dL IlISt loOhcu l1hO c certain victor, for he pummelled the Yorkshireman unmercifully, and once knocked him off the stage onto the heads of the spectators. But Whit taker had plenty of endurance and pluck, and he fought on, all bruised and bleeding as he was, until at length the big Italian was forced to give in and admit defeat. Carni fought James Figg, the British cham pion, a little later, and was again defeated.
 But if Carini lacked pluck, the same could not be said of the ancient Italians and Greeks who engaged in the fighting game. They wore the "cestus,'' sort of metal "knucks,'' in their championship battles, and these conflicts rarely ended until one man or the other was killed or So serious ly injured that he could not stand.

Streeter has called meeting for next Wednesday evening when an effort will be made to perfect this organiza- tion, which will be composed of fifty or more of the leading business and public men in this city.

Unusual Weather for March.

The weather during the last
ten days has been remarkable
for March for the degree of chill
illness of the atmosphere in the
early mornings, according to a
statement from the Charlotte
weather bureau. Sunday morn
ing the thermometer was down
to 25, Monday morning it was
again at 25, and during the last
ten days the mercury has been
exploring various other subter-
ranean depths. In going over
the ro cords of the Charlotte bu-
reau. it was found that not since
1888 had anything weatherwise
taken place in March that could
even approach these tempera-
lures. The weather during the
early part Of the month was not
extraordinary. although it was
unusual, but the showing for the
latter part has been remarkable.
