lies and the United States. AL
though it is now assured that the
United States units will be moved
quickly, there is reason to believe
that geographical factors will per-
init the British to land troops in
advance OF these from this country.
As yet there is no intimation of the
exact strength of the Japanese
units. to be moved from the camps
where they are already modified
Nor is there any information
available as to the route to be pur-
sued by the French units. 1t has
been pointed out that they could
be moved by way of the Panama
Canal. although some officials are
anxious to have them pass through
the United States. 1t is said that
the latter plan would permit the
use of American vessels as trans
ports, which would also carry a
large quantity of supplies. such a
move being less likely to interrupt
the shipping schedules of larger
vessels now in the trade between
the United States and France.
Political Sympathies.
All consideration OF probable strength
of the allied forces is a matter of con-
lecture. for the United States and the
allies will be guided in the use of
valuable fighting forces solely by the
necessities which may arise. The mes
sage from the United States to Russia
will be quite in line with the policies
which led this country to join in halt
ing the madness of the German rulers.
Politically. the people Of Siberia and
of the United States are one in
thought. For that reason it is believed
that the need for a great military
force will not arise. 1t can be author
itatively stated that the United States
will attempt no campaign of a mill
tary. nature, unless German forces
override the Russian government and
seek to seize the allied property stored
in Siberia. D.. =

Fight Fans Flocking to BAG. Tournament
TohnL.ssM,epHn McJanloS J.COrbeH

L., whose normal fighting weight was around 196 pounds in those days. went into the ring beaming 210
 McCaffrey, through the early rounds, had no trouble in jabbing Sullivan's face and body, but eventually the tremendous rushing of John L. backed McCaffrey to the ropes. Whenever the champion had McCaffrey so cornered he would send crashing right-handers to the head of his lighter rival. Through the third and fourth rounds the terrific hitting of Sulli- van took much of the ginger out of McCaffrey and several times during the fight Dominick went down.
 There was much i'll feeling between the Sullivan and McCaffrey partisans in broke out in the audience during the progress of the six rounds. Some of Me Caffrey's friends insisted that John l.. was using tactics not entirely in Keeping with the Marquis of Queensbury rules McCaffrey's brothers, who was acting as his second, got into an argument in the center of the ring with Arthur Cham bers, one of Sullivans attendants. That was between rounds Their heated yer bal clash which followed provoked a fist fight and the men furnished a side is- sue to the main attraction by going to 1t. They slugged away at each other and roughed around but before they were really able to get down to business" other ring officials jumped in and halted proceedings.
 Many different stories have been told concerning the finish of that fight; some of them of sensational nature. Most historians have it that the contest was halted when series of free-for-all fights broke out in the audience and some of the crowd began gun play" It has been recorded that Referee Tom Tate of Toledo, jumped out of the ring and didn't announce his decision until two days later. But all such stories are wrong.
 The bout was scheduled to go six rounds-and 1t did. At it's conclusion, Tate, moving over to the ropes, >an- nounced to the crowd
 T award the decision to Sullivan"
 There was so much noise at the time that only & few persons in the ringside seats heard Tate. Then Billy Muldoon, acting as master of ceremonies, jumped into the ring and told Tate to reiterate his decision. But bedlam still reigned in the crowd and only a few persons heard Tate, using his hands mega phone, shout:
 q award the decision to Sullivan. He had a decided advantage all through the fight"
 After making the second announcement Tate jumped out of the ring and went back to the city. Some of the news paper men had not heard his ruling owing to the connmotion, and the next day some stories appeared which stated that Tate had made no ruling. When such articles were brought to his atten- ton, Tate denied the truth of the asser- tions and just to please the newspapers, ruled in his own handwriting: Sullivan won the fight on points,

i15 NEW CASES OF
 SMALLPOX REPORTED
Appeal to All Unvaccinated Persons to Be Vaccinated
 Meeting With Response

That the smallpox situation in Jet- ferson county showed no improvement yesterday was the opinion expressed bx Dr J. D. Bowling, county health officer, yesterday, who stated that sjnething over I75 cases are now at Me pesthouse, and that there were Rrcbably more than 15 new cases re- Tported during the day
 Every means is being used to pre- vent further spread of the disease by the health department and every one is being urged to cooperate with the health officials in every way pos sible in their efforts to vaccinate an persons in the county, as this is the only sure preventive known. Arrange nients have been made for the reVac- cination of all school children whose first inoculation did not take, and representatives from the health de- pertinent have visited several schools fo1 this purpose.
 Encouragement is offered in the mere general response that is now being received to the appeals of the health department for the unvaccin- ated to call at the city hall and re- ceive this protection free of charge Probably not less than 1000 vaccina- tions are taking place daily now.
 In his report for January, which has just been received from the printers, pr. Bowling gives lengthy and an alytical discussion of the smallpox epidemic and 1t will be given as wide distribution as is possible

RIVALRY PREVAILS BETWEEN K|WANEES
 AND ROTE GOLFERS
Match to Be Staged Be- tween Two Club Teams for $100 Purse for the
 Girls School

Intense rivalry prevails between the Advances and the Rotarians over the approaching golf match to be played between picked teams from the two organizations for the benefit of the Girls Training school at East Like.
 Among the ranks of both clubs, there are many who are adept at swating the elusive pill and speculation as to the probable outcome is rife.
 The Indians recently announced that they were willing to lay an even s10o on the success of their team and commit tee, of which Ike Osbun is chairman, was named to arrange the details. Thus far the Rotarians, according to Clarence Lloyd. have received no official challenge but to use the words of the genial secretary, "our opponents can make it light on themselves.''
 Kiwanian Osbun stated last night that he had practically picked his team, but would give no intimation as to the per sonnel except to state that Dr. Barnwell, Bert Throckmorton and Ed Ellis would
 
 ently has two sharks in hiding, for he appears absolutely confident of victory.
 The roster of the Rotary club contains the names of some "old heads" at the game of "cow pasture pool" Captain" Baugsr, Bob Brooke, Gene" Brown. IS ax' and Eddie" Crawford know ne irly every bunker on the Roebuck and Country club courses.
 Although the plans for the match have not yet been given out. it is more than likely that a foursome will be played at each club. An entrance fee for both participants and spectators will be charged and a penalty of a penny a stroke inflicted upon all players
 Following this match the two organi- cations will attempt to arrange an open tournament, i'll which the public will be invited to play for the same cause.
 It is believed that a big spring bene- fit golf tournament will start the ball to rolling toward the financing of per- manent home for Alabama's friendless girls.
 Asked as to- the feasibility of raising substantial fund in this way, Bob Baugh said: .I know of nothing that so thoroughly merits the support of the community as the Girls Training school, and I believe that if such a tournament was held every golfer in the city would avall himself of an oppor- tunity to play, thus contributing to this cause in which we are all so vitally interested"
 Mr. Osbun, Secretary Trammell and ether Kiwanians are equally enthusias- tic over the proposition and immediate steps will be taken to arrange for ali early tourney.

Mote; This is the twelfth chapter of series of articles which MT. Corbett is writing on John L. As I Knew Him. :" It relates many heretofore unpublished incidents in the life of the great war rior. The next instalment will appear to- morrow).
 Paddy Ryan insistently challenged John L. to fight almost from the day that the Bostonian took away the heavyweight championship crown. For more than three years John L. ignored his formid- able foe. Finally he consented to match with Paddy but insisted that 1t was to be nothing more than a four-round af fair with gloves
 Ryan wanted finish bout under Lon- dor prize ring rules, but Sullivan would have none of 1t. So, for the slight chance to regain the title, Ryan con- sented to a four-round affair under Mar quis of Queensbury rules and the bout was put on in New York City on Janu- ary 19
 It attracted big crowd despite the fact that the police declared they would stop the fight. It was feared that the
 
 bring about "a brutal exhibition" The two fighters entered the ring at the ap- pointed time and went into action. But the first round hardly was under way be- fore the authorities jumped in and stop ped further milling
 In June John l.. met Jack Burke, "The Irish Lad," in a contest in Chi cago which attracted a crowd of 1000 Burke, fast and shifty performer felt certain that he could stop Sullivan. Many of his friends, of the same belief, took a lot of the short end of the bets that were made that Sullivan would win But Burke proved to be no match for the big champion who rushed him con- tinually and bombarded him through right-hand smashes. It was only the wonderful defensive work of Burke which saved him from going down and out
 Then agitation was started for a bout between John L. Sullivan and Dominick McCaffrey who had come along in spec tacular fashion in the year previous McCaffrey, in addition to having repu- tation for being heavy hitter, was fast and had demonstrated his ability to stand up wonderfully under merciless punishment. Although the country at large recognized the mighty power of Sullivan there were few who figured that McCaffrey, in splendid condition, might have good chance with John l..
 Sixteen thousand persons witnessed the Sullivan battle which was put on In Chester Park, Cincinnati. John
