Kolehmainen who arrived here yes

Island facing possible deportation.
The athlete was accompanied by his
brother. William. They came here not

making the land of the Stars and
Stripes their future home The twain
came as third class passengers and
were dressed in typical immigrant fash
ion with loose fitting clothing. ungain-
ly shoes, tweed caps and red bandanna
handkerchiefs knotted about their
necks. Hans speaks no English and
was the most amazed man on the
North American continent today be-
cause his entrance into the land Of
promise had been barred. His brother
William, tried TO explain to him that
the authorities must surely be making
a mistake, but the wonder in Hans

Dav of Rest in Week.

In Atlanta today more than thou
sand street car conductors and motor
men must work seven days in week.
About 500 policemen are required to be
ON dutv seven days in a week. Hun
dreds of clerks have no Sunday rest,
being required to work in drug stores,
tobacco stores, candy stores, and at
soda fountains, all of which are open
on Sunday in direct violation of the
laws of the state of Georgia except the
drug stores selling what is necessary
to be sold on the Sabbath.
The city grants her firemen one day
out of six, and that is right; but why
not give the policeman one day in
seven?
is not the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company prosperous enough,
and considerate enough, TO give its EN-
ployees the privilege of resting one day
in seven?
should not the railroads heed the
law Of the state and stop all unneces-
,ary moving of freight trains"

Attitude of Industries

And II is worth the while of the
working men of the country to recall
what the attitude toward organized
labor has been of those masters of con-
solidated industries. whom the Federal
government is to take under its patron
age as we'll as under its control. They
have always been the stout opponents
of organized labor and they have tried
to undermine it in a great many ways.
Some of the ways they have adopted
have worn the guise of philanthropy

Spider Britt May Put South on
Pugilistic Map byWorking His
Way to Top of Bantam Class

Rivers Thanksgiving day. Right in At
lanta is boy that has everything that
a champion is made of, and plans are
being made right now to give him a
campaign that will put him in the pu-
gilistic elite in a years time.
Atlanta's hope for a glove champion
ship rests in Spider Britt, the nineteen
year-old paperweight, who has so sue
cessfully trimmed every boy of his class
arrayed against him in an Atlanta ring
True it is that Britt has never Won
decisive victory over Mayer Prizes a.i-
other Atlanta youngster, but he has one
decision to his credit and in addition
has always shaded Prizes, although the
last named scrapper has several pounds
the advantage on him in weight
1t seems that the time is mighty ripe
for Britt to come to the front The
bantam class is looking for champion.
Johnny Coulon, the present title holder
was outpointed a few nights ago in
New York by an unknown named Kid
Williams, and for almost two Years
CoulOn has been fighting far below the
standard that he maintained when he
was unanimously picked as the king of
the little fellows.
Britt weighs but 100 pounds. OF
course, right now he is too light to mix
with the good bantams. but Britt is
only nineteen. He is getting bigrer
every day, and it will not be many
months before he can tip the scales
around 116 pounds. and when he does
he viii be the hardest hitting 116-
FOUNDER that has ever crawled through
three ropes and shucked d bath robe.
OF course, Britt has a lot to learn,
but the natural stuff is there. In the
| first place, he has tie heart of a lion.
| Again he can assimilate as much pun
! ishment as Bat Nelson. He is not a
bad boxer and when ne lands with mis-
right swing some one is going to drop.
His trouble now is trying to send his
right hand too far He is trying to
remedy this, and is working each day
with Clarence English, the veteran well
terwe!ght, who knows all there is to
know about how and when to hit.
Spider is a natural hitter" says
English. His only trouble is that hel
| shoots from his hip instead Of froml
his shoulder. When he gets over that
and it's not a hard thing to get cured
of-he will be as dangerous as any boyl
of his pOundage in the world"
| Britt is an Atlanta boy born herel
and reared here. He has never fought
anywhere else and has never lost a
fight, though he has been matched
against the toughest papers" that club
arrangements could frame for him
He is a modest little fellow, has no
bad habits and no swelled head. But
he does pack a punch. Watch out for
him.
