SeottIe's Peculiar Climate
No Good for Gorciu.

Making the best of it. Mr.. Parnas-
sus soon had his man knocking out
most of our better middleweights.
Presently there were only two mid
dleweights left, both champions of
the neutrality-suspicious. Al Hostak of
Seattle, who inherited his crown
from Freddie Steele of the so-called
true blue American dynasty, and
fearless Fred Apostoi. who took the
diadem from Marcel Thil, the bald
Gaul of the mellow old European
line.
There is little to choose between
these two titles, and Garcia had no
choice to begin with There is a
catch to fighting Hostak. You have
to do it in Seattle. No finer, cleaner,
more salubrious town adorns the
Pacific littoral than Seattle, but Mr..
Parnassus heard somewhere that the
climate was no good for Filipinos
and even worse for Argives, Achae-
ans, Hellenes, or Greeks. According
to Mr.. Hymie Caplin, manager of a
middleweight named Solomon Krie-
ger. it is no good for anybody in the
fight business except Hostak, who
grew up there, from his tousle-
headed tothood to his full-fedged

Karig's Puppy Surprises.
Probably one Of the most sur
prised as well as delighted exhibitors
was Walter Karig of Alexandria.
Some months ago, Karig bought a
Dalmatian puppy for a pet because
1t was so cutely spotted.
He registered him as Kess-
ler's Count de Spotz and en-
tered him ut the Baltimore
County show just for fun.
Count de Spotz proceeded to
knock the spots oil the rest Of the
entry by annexing the blue ia the
puppy dog class and going on to
winners dog and best Of breed.
Another best Of breed winner from
this neighborhood was Edmund
Parry's German shepherd, Ada Of
Ruthland, which is now close to her
championship. Lonarch Regina, q
homebred bulldog, owned by Arthur
Forbush, started her march to the
title by going to winners bitch. In
borzois, the Russian royal family
had 1t all its own way. The Gar
ina of Woronzova, owned by Mrs.
Leslie G. Bell, was best of breed.
Winners dog and first in the puppy
class were taken by the Czar and
the Duke Of Woronzova, both owned
by Mrs. Berezoski. Mrs. Marie
Roach Of Washington bred all three.

Dogs Utility Emphasized.
A recent article in the American
Kennel Gazette emphasizes the
utility of the dog. Most people know
Of the dogs use as q companion and
pet. Others think Of him as the
farmers friend and assistant, or as
the sheep herder's right hand.
A few realize that in many
sections Of the world the dog
Is used as . draft animal and
beast Of burden.
His use in hunting and as q watch
dog is also familiar. War has EN-
phasized his utility as q messenger
and in various other capacities.
However, this list does not exhaust
all Of dogs usefulness to man. In
some countries he serves as food
for population. In others, notably
Portugal, he Is bred to help provide
food by acting as assistant to the
fisherfolk, as well as to the hunters.
The third issue Of Point and
Fetch Is at hand. For an amateur
publication, written and edited by
amateurs, and circulated free among
those interested in hunting dogs,
this little paper has a very profess
sional appearance and is far more
interesting in subject matter than
many costly dog publications.
Those interested in field trials Of
any sort, spaniel, retriever or bird
dog, should make an effort to Sc
cure copies by writing the Wisconsin
Amateur Field Trial Association.
The current issue has two particu-
larly noteworthy articles, one by
Ding" Darling on game conservation
and another by Mrs. Walter Fergu-
son on judging q field trial. The
unnamed author Of the piece called

With these facts in mind, George
Parnassus elected to match his killer
with Apostoi, for the old European
world championship. Garcia, a saw
age puncher with both hands,
knocked Apostoli cold in seven
rounds. He now is the world middle
weight champion of Europe, etc.
But what good is Europe, etc.?
Times being what they are, Mr..
Parnassus is anxious to add the true
blue American title to his holdings.
Must he go to Seattle? He has
an offer from there. He is contem-
plating fighting Hostak on Hostak's S

to it, But he'll try everything pos

Will Fight Hostok in Home
Town Only in Big Pinch.

The present Parnassus is a man.
ager of prize fighters, and just as
much on his toes as those early
heroes. If any man can lure mys-
terious Al Hostak out of the city of
Seattle, George Parnassus is the
man. It's a formidable job, for a
local statute forbids the transporta-
ton of anything containing more
than l per cent Hostak beyond the
city limits, but if mysterious AL can
be bootlegged to a neutral zone by
any known device, Parnassus will
do it.
"In PINCH" says the Greek man
ager, Il will fight Hostak in his own
town I contemplate that emer-
gency. I allow for it. But it will
have to be quite pinch"
The circumstances are these. Mr..
Parnassus now is the owner of the
world middleweight champion of
Rangoon, Europe, Cape Horn, New
York State, and parts of California,
as we'll as most of the Philippine
Islands, a hungry Filipino named
Ceferino Garcia, who used to shad-
ow-box sugar cane for living.
Having subdued his quota of this
useful plant, Garcia moved into the
fight business, and promptly was
moved into by George Parnassus.
Parnassus has fired Garcia at
many a championship target with
out hitting the mark. Twice the
firm failed to take the welterweight
championship away from Barney
Ross, and once Henry Armstrong
repelled the challenge. Garcia was
getting to be big Filipino by this
time, and he found it difficult to
make the welterweight limit without
cutting off his right leg at the knee,
a sacrifice he refused to make, for
private reasons.

The ancestors of George Parnassus

regular limited run from Marathon.
Some years afterward subsequent
Parnassus sold souvenirs of the
Battle of Salamis-"G Getcher auto

a still later Parnassus urged his
fellow citizens forward against the
Spartans from a seat close to the
ringside.

strategist from his corner perch, as
he rolled cotton swabs and shook up
