Terry Nelson Stops
Cronin; Kelly and
Superior in Draw

MACON, GA, Feb 14-Terry Nelson,
the Greek lightweight, stopped Jim
Croning, of this city, in the third round
of a scheduled ten-round affair last
night. The local boy put up a game
battle, going down no less than five
times Nelson's weight advantage and
added experience helped him dispose OF
Croning. A left hook to the jaw, fol-
lowed by a right cross to the same
place turned the trick.
The treat of the evening, however,
was the six-round semi wlndup between
Joe Superior and Battling Kelly, both
Of Atlanta. At the end OF. the sixth SEES
sion Referee Long called the go a draw
and the verdict was Just to both.
The boys fought every minute during
the six rounds and IL was only the
great cleverness displayed by Superior
that gave him an even break Kelly
outweighed Superior several pounds but
the latter's speed helped him out of
many tight places.

The management of the Columbia

bouts for tonight. One ten round
bout, one six-round affair and a four
round preliminary comprise the card.
Battling" Kelly, the promising
youngster, has been secured to meet
Young Goldman in the ten round

Superior and York met in a great
four-round draw about two weeks

of the championship cup.
In consequence, both teams are
straining every nerve in way none
of the other college squads can ap-
proach. Both are going to have ex-
ceptionally good teams even for
them, and there appears no doubt
that first and second place rests be-
tween them.
Just now Penn looks a shade the
stronger of the two on paper, but
this is largely because of the added
presence of Ted Meredith, who won
the quarter at the Stockholm, Olym-
pic, and who will be eligible because
of being In his second year at Penn
He is being counted on by the
Quakers not only for a first in the
quarter, but for the same place in
the half mile This is making a
mighty big requent of one man, and
Ted may not be equal to the job.
AS Penn has also lost Mercer, who
scored five points for them last year
in tn ebroad jump, she may find it
she did last year However, the
loss of John p. Jones by Cornell in
the mile will even up.

was not entirely unprepared for
this outcome to the game. The
Georgia team is known and admit
tie dto be about the strongest col
lege aggregation ever turned out in
Dixie, and they have been planning
and figuring on this little coup for
some time. Then, too, we may take
into consideration, when figuring
how it all happened, the fact that
Columbus has been playing a hard.
long schedule of games, and has had
to keep herself cooked and primed
for steady run of all-comers. She
had recent nerve-racking run-in
with the Vanderbilt team. and that
mill alone doubtless left her some
what frazzled as to nerve force.
The return game will be on Geor-
gia's court, and so there is a good
chance that the Athenians will
again be returned the victor, in
which case they will certainly be
entitled to the southern champion

Columbus is going TO be well on
edge for that contest. and as they
have shown themselves about the
most consistent performers on a
foreign court of any team in the
South 1t is by no means a foregone
conclusion that they won't get back
at the Red and Black.
At any rate, here is another straw
to show that the college teams are
gaining ground rapidly on their ath-
letic club and Y. NJ. c. A. rivals.

January, at which were representa-,

list of materials or chemicals should
be regarded as the so-called "domes-
tic drugs" of the. statute which gener.
al merchants may sell. All others
must be handled only by registered
pharmacists. So, if any dealer sells
anything other than in the designated
list, he is open to prosecution since

asserts that many of the manufactur

The canning factories which open.
ed last Monday are providing employ
ment temporarily for hundreds of
persons. The season is short and the
concerns work as large a force as
can be obtained.
A number of the larger grocery
concerns of the city state that the eff
feet of the high prices of foods has
been to cause many families to cut
down on the amount of provisions
purchased. They declare that this will
cause many of the smaller groceries
to go out of business If the era of
high prices continues for any length
of time. The small merchant is not
able TO buy advantageously, and with
business greatly reduced, the dealers
say that the present condition will be
fatal to many of them.
