Con Albright Gets One
And Turner Two Falls

Taking the first fall from Joe Turner
in twenty minutes. Con Albright look
ed like a sure winner in his match
with the Washingtonian last night.
However, Turner came back strong in
the last two bouts. and took the first
one in twenty-one minutes and the
other in twenty-three minutes. Prob
ably no match seen at the Gayety this
season has developed the clever work
that was seen at last nights wrestling
match.
Albright showed himself to be as
fast a man as Turner has yet taken
on, and during the early part of the
fray il looked as though the New
Yorker might get the best of the con-
test. Albright is still unconvinced
that Turner is the better man, and
believes that he is entitled to another
match with the Washington boy.
Whether or not this privilege will be
granted him lies with Turner. and
should they be matched again the bout
is sure to bring out even faster work
than was seen last evening

ATLANTA POSTAL
RECORD Is
BROKEN
Jones Says Business tuesday To-
taled More Than That Of
Any Previous Day.

The Atlanta postofice broke its
record Tuesday for the amount Of
mail handled and the number Of
stamps sold. according to state
ment by Postmaster Boiling II. Jones
Wednesday morning
There were 10000 pieces Of stamp
ed mail received mot including pc
riodicals or newspapers). 10000 par
eel post packages delivered in Allan
Ia and slO.882 worth Of stamps sold
The previous high marx was 274,-
900. pieces Of mail, and only once dur
ing the last national campaign did
stamp sales come anywhere near
equaling the sales recorded Tuesday
Previous high record for parcel post
packages was $3.50
Postmaster Jones said he attributed
the large increase in business to the
fact that cotton is now selling at IA
cents and that Atlanta is the best
and most prosperous city Of its size
in the United States He declared it
was even more bustlng and did more
business with its 100000 population
than any city in the South with twice
that number Of inhabitants.
