For the second time in the past few
months Tommie Feltz proved his su-
periority over Kid Goodman in Bos-
ton, last Monday night. The boys met
in a ten-round go before the Essex

Boston Globe, there was not a person
present but who has the question set
tied in their minds as to which is the
better man.
The bout went the ten rounds, and
ing left and right body punches and
swings to the head that shook Good
man up considerably. The latter ap-
peared a bit stale from too much box
ing, and this, perhaps, accounts for his
poor showing. He put up a sorry ex-
hibition throughout and at the close

Y. M. C. AS ATHLETES
CONTEST TOMORROW NIGHT
For Places on the state Convention
Team.

The athletes of the Y NJ. c. A.
gymnasium put on some extra touches
last night for their contest tomorrow
night for the purpose of picking a
team of five to represent the Savan-
nah association at the state gymna-
stun contest to be held during the Y.
NJ. c. A. convention at Columbus the
latter part of the month. The conven-
ton will open on the 21st. and the
state contest will be held on the night
of the 23rd. The state contest will
consist of work on the horizontal bars,
the parallel bars, and the horse, and
the contest tomorrow night will be
held on the same apparatus.
The following men will enter the
preliminary contest tomorrow night:
G. E. Jordan, E. NJ. Heman, A. B.

ton. The work will be judged as fol-
lows: Correct approach to apparatus,
to execute exercise, 2 points. Exact
execution of exercise, 2 points. Perfect
form of execution, 4 points. Leaving
apparatus correctly, 2 points. A board
of three judges will judge and mark
the contestants according to their ex-
ecutions of the exercises. The flve
winners will be awarded the places on
the team and go to Columbus to rep
resent Savannah. The contest prom
ises to be spirited and interesting,
each aspirant being particularly anx-
ious to win the honor of representing
his home association against the 9TH
er association teams of the state.
After the contest a game of volley
ball will be played between picked
team from the business mems class OF
athletes and one from the younger
athletes. The game is a lively and in
teresting one, as well as it will be an
entertaining one to Savannahians be-
cause it is new here. 1t is played over
an ordinary tennis net stretched across
the gymnasium, with the top of the
net seven feet from the floor.
A court similar to one used in ten
mis- is laid out on the floor on either
side of the net. The teams take posi-
lions on either side of the net. One
man of the team which has the privi-
lege serves the ball, which is similar
in make, but smaller than a basket
ball. to the opposing team on the OPP
posite side of the net. 1t is the duty
of the opposing team to return the ball
over the net to the serving team with
out the ball touching the floor on its
side of the net. If the ball, when
served should touch the floor within
the court of the opposition team one
noint is scored for the serving team.
II 1t should be returned by the oppos-
ing team before it touches within their
court. but touches in the serving teams
court. il is counted as one out
against the serving team.
When the serving team has made
three outs" the ban goes TO the oppos-
ing team, which in turn becomes the
serving team. The side scoring TWEEN
ty-one points first wins the game II
