Boorde Ready For His Bout
 With AtIanfan

Not at all disturbed over the fact that he is meeting Bat ting" Bud of Atlanta Wednes- day night instead of Jack Brady, Freddie Boorde is just as confi- dent of winning this fight as he ever was.
 In Bud, Freddie will meet formid- able opponent indeed. He will be meet ing man who will outweigh him over five pounds. He will be meeting a man who has had infinitely more experience in the boxing world than he has. All the odds seem badly against him, yet Freddie merely smiles and says:
 Say, kid, you cant scare me with that stuff l know Battling Bud is big ger man than myself l know he can fight. But what do I care? The big ger they are, you know. the more meat there is when you finally do land 'e.n
 T am certainly sorry to hear that Jack Brady has the flu He is one of the cleanest boxers whom 1 have gone up against and it's a pleasure to fight one Of his caliber. By the way, l am not expecting much pleasure from my bout with Bud, for Bat will do his best to flatten me out. Both of us boys come from the same town, at least 1 came from it. He still there, in Atlanta, l mean. Anyway, just watch us Wednes- day night We won't seem like old townsmen and buddies. Not sos you could notice tt
 IN GOOD TRIM
 Freddie Will be in good trim for the fight Wednesday night. He has been training faithfully since it was an- nounced that he would meet Brady. Since Jack won a decision over him. Freddie has had the greatest respect tor the Bessemer boy and his respect has been reflectd in his framing, which has certainly been up to top-notch form, as Tommy Tompkins, who is training Fred die. says.
 Battling Bud is always in good con dition. His frequent fights in Atlanta under the watch1u1 eyes of Walk Miller and Hume McDonals keep him so. He will come to Birmingham ready for bat tie. and battle he wlll get when he en- ters the ring fin opposition to Freddie loorde.
