found that II had been raised to $3.50
and then to $500. one night he struck
good house and the owners struck
Tommy for another Jolt.
II was eventually agreed that the
promoter and the landlord would split
the profits $3.50. in order that the
latter would obtain a greater return
for their Investment.
At the present time the landlords
are still dissatisfied. sullivan doesn't

Against Asher the British flyweight
champion lived up 20 the many glow
ing tributes that had been paid him
by English writer's. The Briton has
everything in stock but weight,
Jimmy Is blessed with a keen eye
and il therefore wonderful Judge OF

hands when he gets into the open.

his head In place OF his arms to ex-
tricate himself he Is in position TO
swing with either hand--and he doesn' /
waste any time in cutting loose.
Although frail he has wide shoulders
and gets great leverage back OF his
blows.

fight fans who watched him Thursday
night that he is a real champion--one
Of the real marvels Of the ring.

The Chattanoogsns are here with one
of the crack organizations of the state

the locals to beat, Faucette and 7;
Hill who have charge of the forward
positions, are both goal-shooters OF rare
ability and the Memphians will have
to be on their toes to keep them from
dropping the pill into the basket too
often. They shoot from any angle, ana
are confident that they will be able
to shake off the interference OF
guards in the Saturday nights melee
and cage sufficient baskets to cop the
decision. It,.
At center there Is Redd a lean, lanky
player on the same order as BLACKBURN
focal Y middleman. Redd is. an all,
round player, covering lots OF ground
and being in every PLAY. He Is goal
shooter along with Hill and Faucette
and expects to be very much In evil
dence when the big battle gets under
way. A.. c,..
tanoogans there are r. Hill and Emer-
son, r. Hill is a brother to T. Hill,
who plays forward, and Is said to be
as classy a guard as his brother Is a
forward. Emerson. who plays opposite
r Hill, is a star guard and will be out
there to keep the locals from tossing
as many baskets as possible.
There are several top-notch substi-
tutes along with the Lookouts, and they
will be able to keep fast team on
the floor at all times during the battle.
