Boxing, Betting and Drinking: The Recipe for Fives Success!

Mark Yates has discovered this chapter about Fives from a book called "The Sports of the World with Illustrations from Drawings and Photographs - Vol I" edited by F.G.Aflalo and published in 1903. The chapter was written by Eustace Miles, Old Marlburian, Real Tennis champion and prolific author, many of whose books are still available on Amazon. Click HERE to see his Wikipedia entry. The chapter extols the virtues of Fives and is a fascinating read.

Bonus Points for anyone who can correctly identify the location of the Eton Fives court pictured on Page 2!
