F F|NE SPORT CARD
 AT CLUB SATURDAY
Five Fistic Bouts of Six and Ten Rounds Each to Be
 Served Fans

A peerless sport card will be offered local boxing fans Saturday night when five fistic cards will be served up at the Athletic club. Every bout is a head liner within itself and bugs will prob fore the night of these attractions. Three six-round mills, one 10-round affair and an added attraction between two local huskies will make up the nights bill.
 Frank Chappetta is slated to meet Joe Fisse in a six-round go, Buzzsaw Wal ters will take on Sailor Beauchereaux Mel Myers will battle Spike Webb and Martin Burke American middleweght and heavyweight champion, will do battle against Bill Henning, Camp McClellan's s new heavyweight premier. The Webb Myers affair is scheduled to go 10 rounds and the other three arguments ssx rounds each.
 Kid Ballenger has challenged Stuart Candy for fight. These two boys hail from Birmingham and if they go on it will be as an extra-added attraction Candy is well known in local fistic and mat circles and Ballenger is anxious to get in the squared arena with him.
 Saturday nights contests will be far and away the best boxing card ever of fered in Birmingham and Bill Streit of the Athletic club is lucky in arranging such fistic spectacle These bouts will surpass anything attempted when the southern championships were held here as fights were limited to three rounds on that occasion. The shortest matches of the night will be for six rounds Sat urday mght, with 10-round go be- tween Myers and Webb.
 Webb has waxed a bit warm under the collar since Myers was awarded a de- cision over him in recent bout here and he is coming to Birmingham to show the fans that he really is Myers superior when it comes to warfare in the squared arena. Webb has suffered from a super fluity of kidding at the hands of his comrades at Mcclellan since he landed back in camp following his defeat here at the hands of Myers, his pupil.
 Seats will be placed on sale Wednes- day morning at the Athletic club. Bill Streit thought of trying to arrange the bouts for the new open-ar auditorium at Capitol park. so that all the fans in town could be accommodated, but rather than gamble with the weather he gave up this idea.

SOLDIERS WANT TWO B|G LEAGUE TEAMS

Major league baseball for American soldiers in France with professional players from the big circuits is the big idea now dominating the thoughts of William J. Clarke, known as "Bill' Clarke, who had charge of Princetons baseball teams for the last ten years. Before that he was a catcher on the Baltimore Orioles which included John J. McGraw, Hughey Jennings and Will lie Keeler
 Bills absence from Old Nassau is recorded in the walls which emanate from Tigertown regarding Princeton's prospects on the diamond this year, but Clarke has bigger work to do now as la Y. M. c. A. athletic trainer with the American expeditionary forces in France, as Bill himself said "he was consumed with desire to do some
 thing"
 Having done about everything. Bill has conceived a plan for the sending of two baseball teams of major league players to play exhibition games at the rest centers and camps behind the lines.
 Tn brief" he explains, my idea IS that each major league club donate a player, which would make sixteen men, their salaries to be paid by an equal contribution from each club; the International league to donate four players under the same conditions and the American association likewise. That would make twenty-four players. all  CTS for each club.
 Reports from overseas that Y. M. c. A. secretaries are real jacks of all trades are verified amply by Bill. T have been much occupied in construcs ing large athletic field on an old av iation ground" said Bill. "I will have six regulation size ball grounds, soccer and football ground and a track

 The postponement yesterday leaves two games that will have to be played off between the Barons and Mobile It is not thought that either manager would be willing ito stage double header this early in the season, but since both teams have an off day Wednesday they will probably arrange to go to it on that day

MISCELLANEOUS CLUB NOTES

he had risked his life and sacrificed race to save a fellow driver from death. Clark was in the lead in a big race on the treacherous three-quar- ter mile San Antonio track, when a machine driven by Tobin DeHynel overturned and threw DeHymel pros- trate on the course. Clark was just about to lap DeHymel and he real- ized that he would either be forced to drive his car over 20-foot eni- bankment or run over DeHymel. Clark took the big chance. wrecked his ma chine and escaped with only slight in juries Later he was presented With the Carnegie medal and though he has many trophies and emblems won in races he values this one above ali.

 Four entries are now on the books of the Alabama State Fair association, which is conducting the race meet. Arthur Chevrolet and Bill Endicott are the other starters. Additional names are expected to be filed within tho next three days and a large field IS certain to face the starter in the long distance race.

 DRINKING IF YOU

Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poisons.

If you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue is coated; if your head isl idull or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stom- ach, or you are bilious. constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bathing. Drink before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach liver. kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimen- tary tract. Do your inside bathing inn mediately upon arising in the morning to wash out of the system all the pre- vious days poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the tomach.
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body inn purities get from your pharmacist quarter pound of limestone phosphate, which is inexpensive and almost taste less, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant.
 Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bathing before breakfast.-- Adv.

Inadequate Health Measures

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Neither the commissioners nor pr. Bowling seem to understand the menace to health in the street car situation. Men. women and children crowded in a way never heard of in a church or school, no ventilation with here and there some smoker puffing away as though no one else had any rights. Then the splitting is nauseating Just why those whose duty 1t is to act in this matter do not enforce the law is notS plain to me
 About two years ago I suggested, through The Age Herald the abolshment of the health department, as useless and expensive institution. Since then much has been said and written about preventive medicine, but nothing, so far as I can see, has been prevented. i. Now the health department is to parade before the public in uniform and wear ing masks. This is most unwise thing to do and will only increase the fears of the people.
 few months ago I made an effort to have the fruit stands comply with the law by protecting the public against the disease spreading fly. Nothing was done. pr. Harrington sent me to the police and the police sent me to pr. 
 Is it not possible to adopt manager system and put stop to such queer way of everybody having a say and nc one doing anything? Respectfully.
