100 Pounds Ringside.

The weight to be made by Herman
and Moore will be 100 pounds at the
ringside, which will assure Moore that
Pete will not be too heavy for him when
they meet. 1t was at first decided to
let Herman make 100 pounds at 3
o'clock on the afternoon before the
fight, but by fight time Herman would
have put on three or four pounds, which
would make him a legitimate feather
weight. Herman will weigh 1870 pounds
at the ringside, while Moore will come
in hGween 116 and 11S.
Many rese&ations are being made for
the approaching battle and that a rec
ord crowd will be In evidence when
Moore and Herman square off Is GER
tain. From many cities throughout the
South have come requests for tickets,
and by Monday night every available
seat Is expected to be reserved. The
importance Of the battle is fully real
lied by fight fans Of Dixie, and lovers
of the Marquis of Queensberry game
who want to see a champion dethroned
are making their plans to turn out in
force.

AND HERE'S ANOTHER.

From New Orleans comes a story
to the effect that all umplres. IN chief
In the Southern-Dan Pfennlnaer, Bin
Brennan, Jack KERN and Billy Car
p~enter--haVe gone on a strike and have
decided to pass up the Dixie major
this season unless they get more money
beer with their meals, etc, etc. Col.
Cluke, In the New Orleans Daily States,
gives to the palpitatina fan colony a
story to the effect that the worst has
come to the worst and that neither Of
the four jumps will work In the Southern
this year.
Here are the facts In the case: Dan
Pfenninper, reported to be on a strike,
has already signed his contract for
1919 and the pale paper Is In the safe
at Southern league headquarters.
Jack KERN has not been heard from,
no letter having reached him as yet.
He may be on strike, but he hasn't
made II known to headquarters as yet,
having made nc sort Of demand for
money or anything else.
Bill Brennan, who Is wintering. In
New Orleans, has been In constant
communication with President Martin,
! and aside from asking for what he
thinks Is a good salary, he has made
10 threat to strike, and In his last
communication said he was confident
that he and the league president could

going to strike.
Billy Carpenter also wrote In and said
he wanted more money on account OF
the high cost of living and hotel fare
and beds, stating that he believed II
was worth more this year than before,
owing to conditions. Billy also neglect
ed to state that he was going to strike
and put the league on the bum. .
The two umpires who have not been
suited as to terms state that 1t Is worth
more to work behind the bat every
game than every other game, as for
merty.
But they have not threatened to
strike. They will be signed and viii
be given good salaries, though nothing
extortionate. They are men who would
not try to extort money from the
league. They are merely asking fol

A NEW "LIGHTEST" METAL.

A metal lighter than any yet known and as strong or stronger than steel, has for years been the dream of many, and every now and then ru- mors are circulated to the effect that at last, it has been discovered. The advantages which such metal would have, especially for aircraft are ob- vious, but unfortunately it is gener, ally found on investigation that there is "snag" somewhere.
 The latest report to be circulated relates to new magnesium alloy, said to have been discovered by a metal company of Montreal, Canada, The new alloy, it is stated, is only two-thirds the weight of aluminium and is "as strong as steel" It is said to be especially suitable for pistons and connecting rods of aero and mo- tor car engines. It is to be hoped that some of the qualities attributed to the new alloy may, on closer examina- tion, be substantiated.-S American.

WANT REAL SARDINES.

In South Africa the little fish that are put in the cans and labeled sar- dimes are not sardines unless they are caught off the coast of Portugal. American, Swedish, Japanese and oth- CT so-called sardines cannot qualify as such under the law. The Ameri- can consul at Johannesburg has re- ported to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce that in recent lawsuit before the supreme court a decision was rendered to the effect that, "as sardines are only obtain able from the coast of Portugal, no canner is justified in calling such an article 'sardines' unless they emanate from the place above mentioned.
 Under this ruling shipment of Japanese sardines was denied en- trance into the Union of South Africa by the customs authorities.-Hart- ford Courant.
