twenty-five cars and three motor
cycles have been entered for the At
lanta Automobile and Accessory asso-
cations hill climb, which will be held
tomorrow on the Stewart avenue hill.
This is not a large entry list but it

held open and at meeting of the local
motorcycle club tonight more entries
will be stirred up.
Several handicap races have been ar
ranged to follow the regular events.
Among the races so far scheduled is
one between a Flanders 20 and Pope

the smaller car.
Another contest will be pulled off be-
tween a National and Buick, while
thele have been numerous other chal-
lenges among the twenty odd contest

Used.
The idea of pulling off some match
races was suggested by the close pre-
liminary practicing which has been 60
ing on for some weeks. Many of the
cars are running within a second or two
of each other, and there have been some
exciting brushes, followed by various
claims from rival cars.

White Is a Confident Battler;
He Would Gamble With Con1ey

he had been asked to box three
rounds with frankie The rest of
the story I'll leave for White to
spin.
"Laughabe,' Says White.
Il hadn't been boxing with Con-
ley a minute until I discovered
that I could land on him at will,
While his punches were so well ad-
vertised in advance that l could
get away from him with such ease
that it was laughable,' says Jack.
This fellow is d Joe Grim. | said
to myself, and then cut loose
with some ripping uppereuts. and
soon had his mouth looking like it
had been hit with a ripe tomato
Gilmore stepped in and stopped
the show when l was backing Con-
ley all around the floor of the gym
nasium. I knew ! had Frankie's
number though and ticketed
him from that very afternoon.
planning to take him on at the very
first opportunity I've got my
chance now, and if that kid thinks
he stands a ghost Of a show he can
get a good gamble out of me"
The argument is all right, as far
as it goes. but Jack wants TO re-
member that Conley is not a three
round performer frankie believes
in Tads famous song of the under
taker-"Y You may linger. but III
get Won in the end -
The best evidence of this was the
uphill fight Conley put up against
Monte Attell when he won the ban
tamweight championship belt at
Vernon For thirty rounds Attell
numerically mauled Frankie but
the latter never faltered, finally
wearing Monte down and knocking
him out in the forty second round.
No doubt White will outpoint
frankie in the earlier rounds. but
has he the stamina to survive the
terrific pace that COnlev is sure to
set from the tenth round on? Here
is something that Jack wants to
think over carefully before going
through with that 90-and 10 plan.

boxing game expressed fears today that
complications may result from the action
of Referee Patsey Haly in giving a de-
cision last night in the ten-round bout
between Gunboat Smith, of California
and Jim Stewart at the National sport
ing club.
Boxing Commissioner ONeil said he
would call the matter to the attention Of
Attorney General Carmody as decisions
are not provided for in the law ablish-
ing the boxing commission At the end
of the bout Haly walked over to Stew
art and lifted his arm, which in boxing
signifies a decision.
Stewart weighed "a more pounds than
Smith and won with ease.
