IOE STECHER WILL WRESTLEFREBURG
 HERE ON APRIL 3
Famous Scissors Hold" Artist to Meet Local Fa- vOrite on the B. A. C.
 Gym Floor
RY non ,IcDANIn

The Birmingham Atheltic club, in its efforts to give local wrestling fans the best talent available in America, will bring a popular favorite here to bat tie against Joe Stecher, in the next bout, which is scheduled to take place Thursday, April 5, in the club gymnasium.
 On that date John Frcbng, aI-
 ways a local idol, and one of the
 cIeanest and best men ever appear
 ing before local wrestling fans, will
 seek to hin Joe Stecher's shoulders
 to the mat. And, there are many
 who believe that John will pull
 this trick before the bout is
 brought to climax.
 John wrestled here two years ago in a number of matches, was thrown by but one man as long as he remained here and this man was Ed (Strangler) Lewis Since that time he has inn proved wonderfully and has plugged along with his heart set on reaching the championship.
 Freburg is a wonderful wrestler and local fans or that Is, majority or them, figure that he will have an even chance of putting Stecher out for the count when the two mat stars meet here Wednesday, April 3.
 Stecher has never appeared in Bir- mingham but once. He made his debut in the Magic City in a match this spring, and while he won in double quick order and displayed powerful strength with his legs, there are those who believe that Freburg can emerge the victor, due to the knowledge he has gained since his last appearance here.
 Bill Streit, chairman of the B. A. C.. athletic committee, played trump card when he signed up to bring these two national mat stars together in Birming- ham, and it goes without saying that packed house will greet John Ere burg and Sailor Joe when they step on the mat the night of April g.
 Announcement has also come forth that the club will stage a series of matches, bringing the greatest men in the country here and the chances are that Lewis, Zbyszok, Roller. Plestina and other stars of the game will be seen in action here soon.

LEONARD MAY FEAR WHITES LEFT HAND Lightweight Champion Is Said to Have Weakness
 for Left Hooks
By DICK JEMIsON

Chicago, March 22.-(SpeciaL)-1s Benny Leonard afraid of Charley Whites left hand? This is a question that boxing fans of Chicago and other western cities where the Windy City lightweight is so popular would like Billy Gibson and his protege to answer, and they want the an- swer made inside the squared circle.
 Fighting experts know and their belief is substantiated by several of the light weight champions fights, that Leopard is easy meat for good left hook This was proven conclusively in the recent Leonard-Dundee fight, when the little wop slowed the champion up in the very first round with left hook to the jaw, and Dundee is an acknowledged veal; hitter.
 Every boxer has a weakness Leon- ards seems to be an inability to frame a defense for the left hook when sho

MOLLY SIGNS THREE NEW YOUNGSTERS Two ShOrtstOps and Pitcher Added to the List of
 Candidates

 highly recommended. J. NJ. Robert
 son. Jr.. the pitcher. was the prop
 erty of the Barons in 1917 for
 few weeks, but needed a little more
 experience and MOlcy cut him loose.
 The shortfielders are Messrs. Allen
 berge and Ball, the former rccom-
 mended by Clarence Walker and the
 latter by himself.
 Robertson was taken on by Pitts burg at Wing" Clarkes suggestion, said Moley last night. The Pirates couldn't come to terms with him and l immediately grabbed him when the presented itself. He is a big fellow with a world of stuff and ought to make good in this league
 Ba1k was signed by the Cardinals at one time, but they turned i'm over to the Texas Oklahoma lealye, where he played jam-up game. He has been in minor leagues about three years and should be ripe for DiXie's major.
 Allenberge, the other candidate fol short, halls from Mississippi. Moley signed him up because Clarence Walker who saw him play with the Red Sox 1T Hot Springs last year, said he was z good man. He was canned by the SoH before the season started, but evidently showed some promise or he would nevei have been taken along on the Red So2 training trip.

 President Smith stated that Birmlng- ham would advocate some changes m the schedule proposed by Mike Finn, as would several other clubs. It seems that A few of the jumps are too long and some other kinks in it need iron ing out.

 At Milan Signor Caproni told me of hls ambition to win for Italian enterprise the credit of sending the first passenger plane across the Atlantic. and he eX- poets to accomplish the feat this sum mer with machine equal to carrying 100 passengers. equipped with three 7U horsepower 12-cylnder Flats. six rudders, two pilots and capable of making lU miles an hour The machine is practical ly complete. and is first to be tested, ] believe. with Liberty motors.

by man of Charlie Whites ability. The straight left or the jab, the champion has some success in stopping, but the hook from the off-side has him puzzled.
 Expert critics are of the opinion that White would stand a splendid chance ii matched with Leonard, primarily be- cause the Chicago lads chief stock in trade is the blow which Benja has found difficulty in stopping with anything but his jaw.
 Billy Gibson, manager of Leonard, was offered $25,000 to meet White prior to ths war. A New Jersey club is said to have gone high as $l0.000 to draw him into the ring with White since then, put Gibson has turned a deaf ear to the of- fers. There can be but one surmise, the left hook is the champions bugbear.

 With not quite a week remaining until the first game with Howard col leGe, Saturday, Captain Noojin is fast whipping his hopefuls into shape. There has been a host of material oI7 each afternoon and Coach Noojin has been slow in wedding out any of the aSpirants because he believes in giv- ing every man fair chance to show his ability. But the time has come for the varsity nine to put in every minute, so it is the plan to start class games and thus keep these new men in the game To this end a number of class and fraternity games are be- ing arranged.
 Not including pitchers and first basemen Alabama has unusual pros- pects Capt Lena Styles has perform ed as catcher for two years for the Crimson and White and is sure to make southern fame for himself this season. Riggs Stephenson at short never fails to pick up the hot ones and is the best hitter on the team. Joe Se- well at the second corner of the cir cult is another old man full of pep ard who rates in the same class of Captain Lena and "SteVie.' Over at the hot corner Doc Willis made his letter las' year and he seems to have the same credentials this season. Frierson and Thornton are two new men who look good a t third.

weight to the belief that if only for sen timental reasons or by playing huneh he would select this city. 1t would be log ical for Rickard to lean to the city where he made such success with his first big venture.
 But the clinching argument to the selec- tion of Reno as the battle ground lies in the fact that the Nevada legislature re- gently passed the bill legaizing boxing in that state, over the vote of Gov. Emmet D. Boyle situation without parallel in the history of sports in America.

BOONE THE MAINSTAY

In the pitchers box Big" Boone tAe single old man left is being depend ed on to twirl the horsehide during the hottest contests Hinton. a southpaw from the Tuscaloosa High school has a steady nerve and a good curve that indicates the edge on Berman. another port-slinger and a good second string man of last year. In addition Payne from Captain Lena's ball town of Cur ley, and McGowan, are good on the mound. Coach Noojin is confident that from these men he can select one or two moundsmen who will be able Co give Big" Boone all the help he Will need At first base a new man has to be selected altogether. So far John Cochrane of Mobile seems to have the edge on all others. He is tall and holds sure init, but so far he has proven a mediocre batter.
 In the outfield positions Mullie Lo- noir, Gaston Brown and Graham seem to have the edge on all others. Lenoir was only kept from making a berth last year by lack of credit. but he promises to lead the pasture crowd this year.
