MOI BIRRINGHAM,S PuGlL1sI.

"Bradstreet aays Birmingham is grow ing This announcement Is contempora- neous with the information that Denver Smith, Birmingham's own peach of a pu- gilist, has knocked out his man and now wants a go at Maher or Fitzsimmons Why, to be sure, Birmingham is grow ing. ."-Eufaula Times.
 While Birmingham can by right lay claim to almost any and everything that goes to make up an enterprising, pro- gressive and metropolitan city, yet she has no claim on Denver Ed Smith, who has been sparring in this city. Denver Ed lays claim to the championship of America, he having a standing challenge to meet anybody who wants to fight, and up to date none have accepted.
 Dan O'Leary, who is Smiths trainer, is with him here, and Dan, it will be re- membered, has had the honor of shaping up several prominent fighters, among whom was John L. Sullivan, and he now carries along with him several souvenirs from some of the best fighters in both America and England. among which Is Sullivan's sweater worn when in training to meet Corbett. Dan O'Leary is known to the sporting world as the champlon pedestrian of the world, his greatest feat being to walk six days continuously, GOV ering a distance of 519 miles. He Is not a pugilist himself, but enjoys the high est reputation for reducing the flesh ana increasing the endurance so much needed in hotly contested fight. He is now 54 years old, and thinks 1t only good exer- else to trot Denver Ed Smith a twenty five-mile heat around the city on regular dummy time.
