Greek Myth of Flood

HE mythology of the Greeks contains
story of great flood which bears consid-
cradle resemblance to the food story of the
Christian Bible It centers about character
known as Deucalion and his wife Pyr-ha. Deu-
Gallon, son Of Prometheus, was favored of
zeus and was chosen by the god to repopulate
the earth after the Greek race should be de-
stroyed by great flood.
Forewarned by zeus of the impending food,
Deucalion constructed large boat or ark upon
which he and his wife road to safety during the
days of the flood. The Greek food, however,
lasted but nine days, although during that
period it covered the land and wiped out the
entire population. After the water had SUBJ
sided, so the myth goes, the ark landed on
Mount ParnassuS.
Deucaion and Pyrrha were then instructed
by the Goddess Themis to repopulate the earth
by casting behind them the bones of their
mother. This they did symbolically by casting
behind them the stone of mother earth From
those cast by Deucalion sprang up men and
from those cast by Pyrrha sprang up women

staff Of other artists to do large part of the
detail work of their strips.
Dumas after the great success of his Monte
Cristo' and Three Musketeers" lsunched on
a program of works 50 extensive that TO one
man could hope to carry it out. He hired a
number Of young writers to do the writing
and then he went over their work. changed it
as he saw fit and had 1t published in his name.
Despite the severe criticism which followed this
action upon his part he continued to carry
out the practice.
While he made large income, he lost every
thing through extravaganza and venturing into
wild schemes He died penniless in 1870.

employed as boss blacksmith in the Navy Yard.
The farm was either leased or worked on the

late William Muldoon, Mr.. Brown
has had his associates, General
John J Phelan and Colonel D.
Walker Wear, running around in
large, ungraceful circles.
His appointment to the board was
confirmed a few days before the
Sharkey- rumpus and the
first thing he did was to return the
13 complimentary ringSide tickets
the garden sent him, explaining
that he would be admitted in his
official capacity and that his friends
would purchase their own tickets.
AS a result of his unheard of ac-
ton the three commissioners now
receive only two skulls each and
you hardly need to be told that the
general and the colonel-especially
the colonel, who protested vigorous
ly when his Annie Oakley ration
was cut doWn-hold Brother Brown
in high esteem.
Mr.. Brown was not so successful
with his last two suggestions-that
the commission meetings be thrown
open to the press, and that the
clean breaks" rule be dropped and
fighters allowed to punch their way
out of clinches. The general and the
colonel squaShed these two propo-
sails. Both threw up their hands in

STUDEBAKERS
TAKE OPENER

Two singles in the ninth inning,
one by Swanberger which brought
in Austin with the winning run, up
set the Coca Cola machine and gave
/ the Studebakers first blood in The
three game series being played be-
tween these two teams for the city
championship. Austin had go on
base by means of a single and Sids
hit brought him in
! 1t was real baS- game from start
to finish, featured by the fighting
spirit shown by the Studebakers
who never for moment acknow-
lodged that they could not win. The
Coca Colas got off 10 a two-run
lead in e first inning, and it
looked as Ii there could not possibly
be a chance for the Studies to go
places and do things especially as
Stewart was pitching his usual eX-
cellent brand of ball.
In the fourth inning, however, the
score was knotted when Sharp
clouted a home run bringing IN
Austin ahead of him. From then
on the two teams battled on even
terms and it looked like extra in
nings for sure until the ninth when
the Studebakers put on their hit
ting togs and there went the old
ball game.
This victory gives the winners a
hold on the championship. Next
Tuesday the second game of the
series will be played and should
Leon Lees boys repeat it will be all
over, A victory for the Coca Colas,
: however, will make still another
game necessary. This will be played
on XrhurSday evening.

holy horror at the idea Of allowing
the boxing writer's TO invade the
isanctity of that great oak-panelled
room in which the commissioners
listen to the squawks of the mugs,
heels, chisellers and blokes that
form such a large part of boxing's
citizenry.
The general and the colonel voted
no" on the abolition of the clean
breaks" rule, on the ground that
somebody might get hurt. This, it
would seem, is just what Mr..
Brown, who believes present day
boxers give the customers a pretty
short run for their money, is after.
IF a boxer can protect himself
wading into an opponent, why can't
he protect himself backing aWay?'
he asked.
Mr.. Brown, we're for you, but
we're afraid you're doomed. You've
got common sense and boxing shuns
it like the plague.
