Civic Association Directors
 Meet With School Board
Dr. Barrett Explains City's Position on Erection of New Central High
 School and Discusses Plans

The board of directors and the chairmen of the various committees oi 1 the Civic association held join' meeting yesterday at which time they were addressed by pr. N. A. Barrett president of the city commission; ]. R Hcrnady, commissioner of education and Sidney J. Bowie.
 These visitors discussed the plans
 being considered by the board of ed ucation. the city commission and the Civic association as relief on the high school question. the temporary housing of students for the rest of the present scholastic year and the next scholastic year, for there will be no permanent relief before 1920.
 Dr. Barrett stated the commission determined the only relief possible in a temporary way was the city avail ing itself of the per capita expense which would allow them to build tenn porary structures for tIi:s period. All agreed that the most feasible and per- msnent relief after days of study on this question was the proposal of tho 3-mill tax to be voted upon by the people and probably $1.000.00 bond is- sue to provide adequate permanent high school buildings. the maintenance of school and the interest on the bonds to be paid out of the 3-mill tax, pro vided the people of Birmingham should approve of both.
 The Civic association has been in- vited and will have representatives to attend the joint conference of the beard of education and the city conn mission to be held this afternoon at ! o'clock at which time these plans will be decided on

heavyweight among the soldiers, whether IL IS Lampkin, Keeling or Rowling. | Gardner ranks next to Burke as the star or the team. He is tall for light weight, has reach to correspond and can punch. Those fans who have seen pro- tessionals in action will see in Gardner an amateur who, though he doesn't look 1t In street attire, is as good as the best of them.
 Holman, the New Jersey champion in 1916 and 19iT doubtless has considerable class to his ring work, too. hope SO, Tor Gardner has never been extended in tournament here. He scares most of the amateurs out of tournaments, and 1T Holman is as good as they say the fans will vote the lightweight bout the feature of the championships.

 T have been drinking for years. and it never has hurt me-" retorted Sullf- van Everybody told me years ago when took the championship from Ryan that if I didn't quit drinking I wouldn't be champion very long. Lhave been the topnotcher for nearly three years and no one has even threatened to take the title away from me- So why should I quit having a good time"
 Just to convince anxious supporters that he was still in fighting condition John l.. decided to take on John M Laflin in New York Ring veterans who saw that contest always have declared that if Laf1in had not been afraid of John L. that night she could have whipped him. Laflin smashed John L. some hard punches in the first two rounds and had the champion webbing. What made it worse for John L. was his condition. But Laflin, fearing John L., did not follow up his advantage and so lost a grand opportunity to gain worldwide fame Later John l.. fought Ali Greenfield and made him look like a novice. scoring victory in the sec- ond round.
 Less than two months later-on Jan- uary 12, 1885. to be exact-Sullivan took on Griendfield again. The bout was fought in Boston. It marked John LIS first appearance in defense of his title in his home town. For the second time John l.. demonstrated his superi- ority over Greenfield and won in four rounds. Then Sullivan jumped back to New York.
 A week afterward he fought Paddy Ryan. The police stopped the contest about a half minute after the first round began. Their action probably was influenced by the fear of too much bloodshed.
 From then on until June, John l.. continued to take things easy. He was, to use his own expression, enjoying life" Scorning all attempts of his friends to force him into living the life of an athlete, John L. persisted in keeping late hours, in eating foods that certainly did not help his physical self and in wild drinking orgies.

ROTAR|ANS ENJOY
 AT HOME' LUNCH
Chairman Frye and Colonel Smith Make Addresses
 on Vital Topics

President Val Nesbit was in a happy mood at yesterdays luncheon of the Ro- tary club, and the meeting was allowed to drift into one of those lat homes that made everybody feed good while they took care of the inner man and listened to two splendid addresses, one from John H. Frye. chairman of the food preparedness bureaus executive committed, and the other by Co. T. O. Smith. field marshal of the Knights of Columbus campaign for a fund of $25,- 900.
 Mr. Frye. while of necessity making a speech that was somewhat statistical, and replete with data on the work of tho bureau for the past year, made a .splen- did impression upon the club, and gave
 the members present some food for thought which, as President Nesbit ex- pressed it. was easily digestible."
 Col. T. O. Smith spoke of the work that was being done for the boys in camp by the various religious organi- cations. and stated that his boys Che having two sons in France) would go down into the trenches side by side with Catholics. and that while he was a thirty-second degree Mason, he was looking after his citizenship, and that we would be in predicament if we did not give credit to the Catholics of France, Italy and England who are now in the trenches side by side with Protest ants to win this war. His address was exceptionally pointed, pertinent and re- ceived hearty applause.
 R. c. Thompson and W. H. Stockham were introduced as new members by Frank Stevens and Frank Epperson re- spectively Henry Dozier reported on the "On-to-Selma" conference, and all Rotarians were urged to attend the meeting, as important matters will come up that will very likely affect the na- tional constitution

Indications are that the Southern Am ateur Athletic union boxing champion- ships, slated for tomorrow and aStur- day, March l and ?. at the Birmingham Athletic club, will be the greatest or record in this section. The entry list will be the biggest and classiest, from what I can judge. since the champion ships were inaugurated in New Orleans some 10 years ago.
 We have had some classy boxers in our tournaments, too. Boxers like Joo Mandot. recently instructor at Camp Sheridan; Eddie Coulon. instructor at Camp Pike, and others too numerous to mention. From the amateur ranks they developed into professionals Of countrywide prominence.
 But the amateurs of today know lot more about the sport than did the am- ateurs of a few years ago. They start to learn early and before they have reached 21, most of them are as profi- cient as the average professional.
 Martin Burke and Jerome Gardner, two of the boxers who are certain to be on the New Orleans team. are not 20 years of age They began boxing to- gether when they weighed less than sc pounds. Burke has won southern cham pionships in every weight class from 90 pounds to heavyweight. A fellow must have class to do that.
 Burke, by the way, is going to compete in two weight classes at Birmingham. He scales only 15S and will box as a middleweight and then take on the best
