 RIVER TERMINAL
Arrangements Will Be Made at Holt for Transfer of Freight From
 Car to the Boat

Tuscaloosa, January 22-The Louisville and Nashville has acquired terminal sites on the Warrior river at Holt, six miles from Tuscaloosa, and will at once install necessary machinery for the transfer ring of freight from the railroad for shipment by water from that point This information was given out here this morning by men who are in close touch with general shipping and industrial con- ditions.
 The Louisville and Nashville now has a spur from Tuscaloosa to Holt, with station and freight sheds at the latter place, and additional tracks will prob ably be constructed from the Holt station to the river.
 The terminals, which are to be built at once, will be adequately equipped, with modern machinery sufficient to handle the transference of all freight from the cars to boats. According to best infor- nation obtainable here today, the neces- sary hoisting and transfer machinery has already been purchased and is now on the way to Holt.
 It is probable, also that warehouses will be built on the river, although no announcement regarding this phase of the proposed docks has been made yet.

ROBINSON JUNIORS
 C0P CITY HON0RS Senior Championship to Be Decided Today at B. A. c.
 at 4 O'Clock

The Robinson schcbl junior basket ball team won the championship of the grammar schools of the city yes terday by defeating the Barker, school, giving the victors clean slate with IS victories for the season. The rec ord, considering the small attendance at Robinson in comparison with oth- CT teams, is considered very good.

 The seniors of Robinson are also making battle for honors. The team won the eastern championship and it is now tied with South Highland school for the city title. The game will be played this afternoon at o'clock at the E. A, c. to decide the champion- ship.
 Principal Moore is proud of the work of his boys for the season. Both Rob- inson teams have played excellent bali and have been chased by many fol- lowers of the game as the best gram mar school basketball team ever to be produced here.

 and the game has been accepted The
 |. M. c. A. schedule is made up of games with college and Y. M. c. A.
 other organizations but the local high school always has one of the best teams of the state and Coach Mitchell , thinks that they are entitled to a game with the strongest teams of the state.
 The game is expected to be hum dinger," since there is a great deal of friendly rivalry existing between the two teams. The local High has a fast set of youngsters with plenty of pep and who are in splendid physical con dition, while the "Y'' varsity has the advantage of experience. Greenwood 1 the big guard, = probably out of the lineup for the season, as his cond- tion is worse that it has been. Green- woods illness was severe blow to the Central "" team, coming as it did on the eve of the Vanderbilt game. Coach Mitchell will try to condition Norton and the other substitutes tc fill the big gap.
 Captain Henly is expected to star next Thursday night, as he is in great form. His work against Vanderbilt stamped him as one of the greatest forwards of the south. The admission will be redrAed for this special game and will be 25 cents.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRBETr

J. COkBEII
 Salt Lake as a fight center became dead from then on.
 Fighters of the present day who bubble over 'spotting' an opponent few pounds probably will be surprised to learn how matches were made in New York 40 years or so ago.
 It was just about that time that box ing gloves were coming into use. But the price of them was beyond the means of many of the fighters in that era. So the proprietor of cafe and dance hall con nected with the idea for a Saturday night boxing carnival, admission fee 50 cents. The prize that went to the win ner of each bout was a pair of boxing gloves, then almost as rare as airships were five or six years ago.
 All those who wished to compete turned in their names. After the entry list was closed, the names of all the entrants were placed in hat. Then came the drawing for pairings. No. l and No. 2 were paired; No. 3 and No. 4; No and No. 6, and so on. Absolutely no atten- tion was paid to weights Oftentimes it would happen that an 11S8-pounder would be paired with heavyweight. Rarely did 1t happen that two men of the same bulk battled against each other. But none of the smaller men made a complaint The rules provided that an entrant into the tournament had to fight the man drawn, and he did.
 George Siler, the famous referee, used to take part in those matches, and he made a wonderful record. Had Siler gone in for boxing in a whole hearted way, he might have ranked as one of the greatest ring warriors of all time But Siler drifted into the refereeing di- vision and rose to the pinnacle there.
 Siler weighed only 112 pounds in those days, yet he was paired in the last tour nament in which he competed with Steve Taylor, who beamed around 175. Siler had won five sets of boxing gloves in succession and when Taylor was drawn as his foe, George at first decided to cancel the match. But like most young sters, he feared that if he did so he might be considered coward So he went against Taylor, the man whom the mighty John L. Sullivan later found trouble in whipping, and outpointed him so decisively that the gloves were given to him.
 How many of our present-day bantams or lightweights or even middleweights would spot" man 63 pounds, and then win?

Willard Bean of Salt Lake City was included in the group of fight referees of the other days who hac the knack of making some weird decisions. Bean served as the third man" in the contest years ago between John Willie and Mike Schreck. Neither moxer was keen about Bean as the referee, but he was something of a boxing power in the Utah metropolis and it was much q case of Bean as referee or not fight So Bean officiated.
 Right from the outset Willie seemed to be landing with punches that seemed foul. Several times in the early rounds Willie floored Shreck. When Willie dropped Shreck the first time Mike claimed foul, and claimed it in no un- mistakable way. Bean. in his officious manner, ignored Mikes assertions and, turning his back to the fighters, an- nounced:
 No claims of foul will be entertained. as both men agreed not to claim the fight on foul
 In the tenth round, Willie drove a hard blow into Mikes anatomy at a point that looked like a certain foul. Once more Mike from his position on the canvass claimed foul. Bean. instead of giving little heed to Mike, who was in great pain, majestically ordered him to get up When Mike didn't Bean entirely eliminated the formality of counting him out and awarded the fight to Willie. And then things began to happenl
 Billy Hogan, who was Shreck's mana ger, leaped into the ring and fiercely de- manded that ShreclS be awarded the fight on foul. Bean paid no attention to Hogan until he saw that Hogan's Irish was very we'll up. Realizing that some times it is wise to change ones mind, Bean hoped over to the ropes and an nounced:
 Willie does not win the fight on foul: he loses it on foul and Shreck wins
 Right there was the cue for Jack Cur ley, then managing Willie, to hop into the ring. He did And when he got through with one Willard Bean, the great referee had concluded, publicly, that he guessed it was mo contest" fight.

 The only dependable troops at the disposal of the B0lshevists are Ger mans who. were held prisoners by the Russians. They have been armed and organized. It is rumored that the CZecho Slovaks to the west have been joined by Cossack forces under General AleXeieff. Altogether. the recent rec ord of the Czecho-SlovalSs suggests that they should be able to dispose of the remnants Of the Bolsheviat resist ance through the whole length of the line from Vladivostok to Udinsk The part which they hold already west from Udinsk to Pensa is a length of some 2,500 miles. There is, however, one feature which may be serious, at least temporarily, in the BolsheYist hold over the railway running round the south of Lake BaikaI It passes through very broken country with nu- merous tunnels and if the Bo1shevists blow up the most important of these tunnels they will certainly obstruct for the moment the Czecho- -Slovak com munications But there were before the war large steamers on Lake Bai-
