i New York, September l5.--Jim Flynn the Peublo fireman. fought winning battle of 10 terrific rounds with Carl Morris the gigantic heavyweight pngil- 1 ist of Oklahoma, here tonight. l Al the end. the oklahoma mans face was battered to pulp. while Flynn was unmarked save for lump over the left eye.
 As a possible aspirant for champion ship class Morris is failure He had nearly 90 pounds in weight and five inches in height advantage over the Pueblo man, but failed to daze Flynn at any stage.
 Morris really had only one round, that the third. In all others Flynn was his master. All through the fight Morris kept using his great weight and strength to bore in on Flynn, but the latter invariably had the better of all the close work. His left hooks and ia bs soon set the blood flying from Morris nose. At all times he was will ing to take punishment to send back worse than he got.
 Morris landed many hard lefts and rights in every round, but Flynn seemed to be impervious to the gruelling he received. It was the bloodiest fight ever seen in this city and many of the spectators around the ring side were astonished at the stamina of both men which carried them at wonderfully fast pace throughout the affray.
 There was no denying of the verdict by the onlookers as to who had won, for Flynn was cheered vociferiously as he followed his seconds to the dress ing room while only pity was expressed for the western giant.
 Among the spectators in the boxes were Senator Frawley. author Of the new boxing law, and party of friends.
 During the seventh round he shouted, Stop it. stop it, stop it!' to Referee Charley White, but the latter either did not or would not hear.
 The preliminary bouts were com pleted at 1o:S0 o'clock and five minutes later the big man from Oklahoma en- tered the ring. His chief seconds were Con Reilly and Joe Jeanette.
 Flynn followed two minutes later, seconded by Abe Attell and Danny Goodwin. The weight announced for Morris was 226 pounds and Flynn 175. Manager Billy Roche, who was at the ring side, said Al Kaufman would challenge the winner.
 When the men threw off their bath robes, Morris lowered over his op- ponent, who looked like middleweight beside the big fellow.
 They squared off at 10:46. Round 1-Morrls hit for head. nut l missed. Morris was cautioned for nold= ing Morris sent in a right uppercut and Flynn hooked left to body The big man drove Flynn to the ropes, but Flynn came back with lefts to the jaw. They clinched frequently, but Flynn put right and left to body with Morris throwing his weight on him. F'lynn's left hand hooks drew blood from Morris mouth. Morris in all landed three right hand uppercuts before the bell.
 Round 2-They went to close quarters again with Flynn uppercutting with lefts on body and neck. Morris sent right and left to the body Flynn tried right swing and slipped to floor. Again he slipped in the same way and then they fought at close quarters with Flynn uppercutting his left to face. Morris right eye was closed at the bell.

GIVE DEFINITION OF
 UNIT REQUIREMENT
Interesting Bulletin of Association of Alabama Colleges Has Been
 Issued

The bulletin of the Association of Ala bama colleges for the year 1911 has just been issued from the press. and contains some very interesting matter in the way of resolutions adopted by the organiza- tion. statement of unit entrance values of the various high school subjects, and other information.
 The Association of Alabama colleges was organized in April, 1908, with the view of stimulating the life of the state high schools by raising the college en- trance requirements, effecting a standardi- zation among colleges. and at the same time necessitating an advance of the standards of the high schools for course articulation.
 The bulletin is of especial interest for the clear and concise definition 1t con tains of the unit values of high scnool subjects. The new system of entrance requirements has from the beginning proven an enigma not only to prospective students and their parents, but ito nsm- bers of the educational profession as well.
 Each unit" reads the statement "is the equivalent of thirty-six weeks. or one full year of high school work with five forty-five minute recitations each week. In case the number of periods given to any study, or the length of the recitation period falls below this standard. the unit valuation of such a study will
 be reduced approximately, e. g., if rec itaticns in English history or in any other
 subject occur only three times per week instead Of five times per week, the credit allowed will be three-fifths of a unit TWO hours of laboratory instruction VIII be considered as the equivalent of one hour of recitation in science. Half credit only will be given for courses in physics, chemistry and biology, when in dlVldual laboratory work is not done by the student, or when the student fails
 to submit with his certificate the proper notebook certified by his teacher At present the officers of the Assoc,,. tion of Alabama colleges are.

CHILD SMOTHERED PLAYING IN COTTON Hand Torn in Gin-Father- In-LaW Shot About
 Debt

Clanton, September 15.-(Special) )-News was brought here late last night of the accidental death of a little son of Mrs Art Mims. who lives about two miles east of Clanton. The child was smothered to death in seed cotton which had been placed in one of the rooms of the dwell- ing house occupied by the mother and children.
 After dinner Mrs. Mims and others went out into the field to continue the work of picking. cotton. Two children, son of about 6 and a daughter of l. were left at the house, where they played in the seed cotton stored in one of the rooms. Soon the older of the two dug a hole in the cotton and pretended to hide from his little sister. After some moments the younger child heard her brother ealing for help, but was too small 10 render assistance. She seems to have known that her brother was in danger and realizing her inability to give aid, started immediately to the field where her mother and others were picking cot ten. The little sister gave such infor- nation as she could, making the mother understand that all was not well at home. Mrs. Mims hastened to the house and when the child pointed out the place where her brother had disappeared she began to throw the cotton aside. To her nstonishment the boy had been smothered tc death.
 This morning at the Farmers union warehouse, where a cotton gin is con Gucted in connection with the storage plant, occurred very painful accident, which may cause the loss of a hand to Dudley Thompson. the manager of the gin department. Mir. Thompson had his right hand on the throw-off lever while he was adjusting cotton in the gin, when the saws caught his hand and literally tore the flesh from the bones of the left land. Fortunately MT Thompson had -gpresence of mind enough to use the throw off lever in time to save his arm.
 About noon on Thursday telephone message was received by Sheriff E. L. Jones to The effect that a murder had been committed in the Stump's Hill sec tion and asking that a posse of officers be sent immediately.

in-laws Jeff Garner. and had made his way northward, stating that he was go- ing to a colder climate.
 The trouble. Il seems, arose over a dis pute about two bushels of corn which the injured man claimed was due him from his son-in-law.
 Pad blood has existed between the two for some months On Thursday Garner sent word to Glasscock that he was com ing over to Glasscock's place during the forenoon and that unless he paid the two bushels of corn there would be blood shed. When Glasscock left in the morn- ing for his field he took along a small single barreled shotgun and told his wife, Gamers daughter, to remain at home and tell her father not to come down Into his field; that he owed him no corn and would not pay him any. Promptly at noon Garner started for the field where Glasscock was working
 When within a short distance of Glass any nearer Garner continued to ad- vance, with knife in hand and when 1 within B yards of Glasseock the latter , fired, the shot striking Garner from the tip of his nose to his knees. At first it was thought the injured man would die, but an examination proved that only flesh wounds were inflicted.
 After an all night chase Glasscock was located at the home of his father a few niles from Calera, and brought to the Chiffon county jail.
 On account of the extreme hot weather and the activity of the farmers in the fields just now the Chiffon county fair which was to have been held beginning September 26, has been postponed until October 30.
 This action was thought necessary by the directors of the fair because of the lateness of the crops and the unusually hot weather prevailing.
 The annual influx of horse traders has taken place here. A band of 10 or more have pitched tents on the west side of town and will remain here till after the adjournment of the fall term of circuit court.
