the match is booked shows that it will
be far and away the most costly that
has ever been seen in Birmingham. Mr..
Parkes, after weeks of negotiation, on
finding that he could not get Lewis to
meet Zbyszko for less than $4,000 in
Zbyszko will have $4,000 as his share,
win, lose or draw and the remainder
of the proceeds of the house will re-
pay Mr.. Parkes for his expenses and
trouble in promoting the bout.
Now that Mr.. Parkes has definitely
secured Lewis for the bout he is the
most optimistic man in Alabama.
81 have been working on this for
weeks, he said last night. II could
scarcely believe my good fortune when
found that had actually secured
Lewis and Zbyszko for the match here.
1t has been my ambition to give the
people of Birmingham sure enough
battle for the championship between
the two recognized leaders of the
American ring, and I am glad to say
that this time I have succeeded.
DETAILS NOT DEFINITE
GAS you can see by Shadows wire,
the details of the meeting remain to
be settled, but the big thing to me
right now Is that Lewis had definitely
accepted I had promised the fans that
they should have the best thing I could
get and l wanted to keep my promise.
II expect the match between Zbyszko
and Lewis to set new record for
amusement enterprises in Birmingham.
Already l have had inquiries regard
ling the event from Tennessee, Missis-
sippi Georgia and Kentucky. Indica-
lions are that liberal patronage will be
drawn from all adjoining states for the
match.
II was especially glad to no-e that
Lewis will be in Birmingham for some
time prior to the match as this will
give his Birmingham friends an OPP
portunity to look him over and see how
good he is. I am also negotiating with
Zpyszko in an effort to have him do
his training here, and 1t IS possible
THAT 1 will succeed 1 am so happy over
securing the match when I had almost
abandoned hope that I hardly know
where l am. but active preparations
for the battle will begin next week"

Fire Destroys Residence.

The Mcfarland house, occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Harrington, in
west Princeton, was completely wiped
out by fire early Sunday morning, and
the contents were reduced to ashes.
The alarm was sounded at about
6:3O o'clock, but the flames had made
such Roadway that by the time the
fire department arrived there was no
chance of saving the building. Mr..
Harrington was out in the country,
and his wife and children were at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S.
Winsor, in this village, at the time.
The house was owned by Wesley
Parish of Montana, and the loss is
partially covered by insurance. The
furniture was also insured for part
of it's value. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

The Spud Situation.

The local potato market has been
stagnant the past week, and nothing
doing" sums up the situation concise
ly. Receipts have been very light, and
the prices have shown no indication
of strengthening. Eating stock brings
about $1.50 a bushel, while Triumphs
are down to $500.
Half of the local buyers are not in
the market for potatoes just now.
There appears to be no outside de-
mand and things are at standstill.
Princeton warehouses are pretty
well cleaned up, although there may
be rs carloads Of spuds stored here.
With potato sales less than 20 per
cent of normal, prices slumped 75c a
hundred pounds in California last
week. The drop appears to have been
nationwide.
The Chicago potato market contin-
