TICKETS ON. SALE FOR OLIN-LEWIS WRESTLING MATCH
Olin Expected to Give Lewis All He Wants In the Way of Excitement
 and Fight

The regular sale of tickets for the wrestling match between "Strangler' Lewis and John olin, to Ae held at the Birmingham Athletic Club Thursday night has begun. Secetary ". l.. Wood ruff of the B. A. C. states that an un- usual amount of interest has been shown ir the coming match, and that the tickets are going fast.
 This match bids fair to be one of the best held in Birmingham in several seasons The odds on the two men are about even, but some of the rasher ones are picking Oiin to win out over the in trepid "Strangler.
 The fact that Olin has come out on top in q match with Waldek Zbyczko has kept his stock up to par. Johns friends argue that any man who can give the mighty Pole the worst of rough and tumble is sure to make Eddie Lewis crawl for cover On the other hand, Eddie's cohorts say that their man is fully capable of taking care of himself in any kind of an affair that Olin cares to engage him in.
 The match is scheduled to takep lace at the Birmingham Athletic Club Thursday night. A classy bill of prelims has been arranged by the club officials. The junior programme will begin at s:sl o'clock. with the main bout of the eve ming following soon after.

 At the turn Hurst led by two up. Wood- ruff threw away several easy chances which would have made all the difference in the result. but these missed chances gave Hurst confidence and he romped away with the match on the second nine.
 The class of golf in the Rose Smith match was entirely the opposite, as both players were going strong Rose holed some remarkable shots which no doubt effected smith play to certain extent. On the third hole Rose sunk a master shot for 3, putting him one up, and from then on 1t was close till the ninth where they turned all even, Smith winning with 3. At this stage Rose got down to business, playing par golf by getting on each.

HEAVIES MATURE

ABut with heavyweight it is far diff ferent. Usually when the big fellow decided to go into boxing he is near to maturity in a physical way. His frame has reached its full growth. He has his natura. strength. He can call upon the full Limit of his powers-and they answer tim. He never need wor- ry about putting any excess strain on his muscular fiber because nature has developed it to a point where it can stand the strain. All that it is neces- sary for him to do is to learn how to hit and how to defend himself.
 That is the reason why Bob Martin. Gene Tunney, Ray Smith, Bob Fitz- simmons. Marty Burke and few others have come from obscurity to prominence in period of six months. Most of them boxed in an amateur way prior to their advent into the professional ring. But they didn't go in for real fighting until their bodies had reached develorment-or near de- velopment-in a muscular and bony way. The result is that they have not had to go through long years of phys. ical development to become good fight CTS. All that has been necessary for them is to add to their boxing knowl- edge.

LITTLE CORN FINDING WAY TOB|RM|NGHAN| Local Corn Meal Mills Re- port Increased Demand
 for Birmingham Meal

Alabama's 1919 corn crop is peihg largely driven off on foot.
 As against the great quantity or corn marketed through Birmingham mills last year and yeAr before, comparatively little is finding it's way to this city now, because of the fact that inc growth of the livestock industry

 channels.
 More hogs and more cattle are be-
 ing raised throughout the south" said Wade Wood of the Wood & Crabhe 2 Company, "and farmers are using q large percentage of their corn for feed ing livestock Birmingham mills buy all the Alabama corn they can get, but they can't get enough to satisfy their needs. During 1918, when there was a vast in- crease in the southern corn crop, and particularly in Alabama, due to the farm diversifieation methods made necessary l by the war, we used southern corn ex- clusively. The importation of western corn was practically stopped. One north I-Alabama town-Athens-sent us S,Ooo bushels of corn. or 49 bushels for every resident of the town. We ground 500, ooo bushels of corn during that season. and all but 90,0o0 bushels of it was southern corn.
 ''Southern corn is desirable to handle, not only because there is no long freight haul involved, but because it has lower percentage of moisture and is better corn generally. compared to the same grace ot western corn However. last years crop now being marketed. was not so large, and a great deal of it was consumed in the livestock industry"
 Birmingham corn meal mills report an increased demand for Birmingham meal Consumers have come to realize, espec-
 ially under war time transportation con-
 dItions on the railroads. that fresher meal may be obtained in Birmingham. Railroa1 deliveries from other milling points have been slow. due to car short
 age and other troubles. and frequently

 practice, for the Birmingham mills are
 in a position to use all the Alabama
 corn that the farmers can spare for com

even more remarkable. He started out
 as middleweight fighter, got into the light heavyweight division, tempora rily quit the game in 1917, but resumed | it later in the year. Just about two [ years after he started on his march toward the championship he achieved his goal and has become ranked as one
 of the most marvellous ring men of all l time.
 Those are only few of the many 1 instances in pugilism to show that ] heavyweights need not go through the long process of development that Is necessary for. the smaller men. The reason for this is that a heavyweight starts battling usually around his ma 1 jority. whereas the little fellow begins l fighting at Is or 16.
 l At the age when the bantams and l feathers begin to battle in the ring i nature has not sufficiently developed I their bodies. It is necessary for them to move along easily until such time as the natural development has been accomplished.

No Surprise Forthcoming
 Al Rapid Rise Of Heauies
All Heavyweights Develop With Remarkable Swiftness Jeffries Was Champ After Short Time-Heaves Have
 Usually Reached Maturity When Enter Ring
By JAMES ]. coRRETr.

No surprise should be occasioned by the fact that three or four yungsters have risen into national prominence in the heavyweight division in the past six months. For the records will show that heavyweights develop with re- markable rapidity.
 Early in 1896 Jim Jeffries hardly knew the difference between a boxing glove and a punching bag. Then he took some lessons from Dewitt Van Court. In 1897 he served me as spar ring partner in Carson City. He was crude-very, very crude. When l broke up my camp In March 1Ss7 Jeff fries travelled west and decided upon ring career. In trifle more than two years he had become heavyweight champion of the world.
 The rise of Jess Willard was less meteoric-but rapid. He never had a boxing glove on his hand until 1911. The first time he ever drew one onto his huge fists was when he stepped into the prize ring. Willard never fought a preliminary fight and never took lesson in the art of fisticuffing Even in 1914 he was regarded as d joke fighter. Yet a year later he was the king of pugilism.

 Both the semi-final matches were hotly contested In the Hurst Woodruff match both players were on edge, and Woodruff had to concede handicap of six strokes to Hurst, which proved too much for him to overcome. Although Hurst is a player of only 8 few months practice he has improved wonderfully and will soon have to be reckoned with among the scratch players The caliber of golf shown in the Woodruff match was very mediocre as both players were off their game, but during the first nine

DODGERS DEFEAT
 PIRATES IN NINTH
Strategy Is Used by Coming Champions Giants Down Reds

Brooklyn, Sept. 2o.-The Dodgers resumed championship form yester- day at Ebbets Field and nosed out the Pirates by to 3 in a game that had a spectacular finish. Twenty-Five thousand fans greeted the coming champions and roared with delight when the Dodgers got in the winning run in the ninth frame in a play that was productive of much merriment.
 The score was a tie at 3 each when the Dodgers went to bat in the ninth inning. Bernie Nels. who had been having trouble all the afternoon in locating Wilbur Cooper's slants. final ly landed on the spheroid and drove it to left center for a double. Then the board of strategy decided on a bit of finesse. Zack Wheat, next at bat, was instructed to make a fake attempt at a bunt in order to draw McKechnie away from third base, whereupon Neis was to make a dash for third. If this were successful, Neis would easily score on a sacrifice fly by Wheat. Zack made the fake attempt at a bunt pur- posely missing the ball by inches, but MT. McKechnie either failed to see the merits of the strategic play or was coldiy indifferent. In any event. he was not drawn away from third to any appreciable extent. t'
 Neis carried out his assignment and made a wild rush for third. and Wal ter Schmidt, the alert backstop of the Pirates. hurled the ball to third. He had plenty of time in which to get Neis. but in his eagerness he threw tho ball low and wide. McKechnie
