The affection and regard which won for MT. Damon and MT. Pythias a place among the immortals marked the association of four men who achieved great honors in the modern ring.
 Three Jacks and a Ummy-Jack Dempsey. Jack McAuliffe, Jack Skel- ly and Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll composed this i1lustrfousf quartette of fistic knights, any one of whom would have been ready and willing to fight for another. and what is more i'm portant, extend financial assistance to another.
 Jack Dempsey, ''The Nonparei1," :" was the senior of these four famous friends.

The three Jacks met in cooper's shop in Brooklyn, where all were apprentices, and in their leisure hours they boxed and wrestIed and engaged in other ath- iletic sports. In the wrestling game Dempsey had the advantage of the advice and experience of his brother Martin, great collar -and-e1bow grappler and at one time the light weight champion of, the wrestlers.
