WEATHER. BIGGEST HITCH IN
PROMOTING OPEN-AIR BOUTS
Contention of arranging for Match Is Nothing Compared With
Gamble Against Elements-Page Mr.. Al
Freed of Baltimore
BY LOUIS IL. JAFFE

DROMoTING open air boxing shows
4 isn't the softest thing in the world.
Signing up boxers, agreeing to terms
deciding on a referee and other details
connected with bout are nothing but
n mere trife. as compared with the con-
tention Of Kid l.. NJ. Ents himself.
The wather is the biggest worry OF the
promoter. and, they do say that he
usually sleeps with his hand out OF the
window the night before a show.
AL Freed, fresh air impresario Of
boxing at Baltimore, has been having
the experience of gambling with the
weather Kid Williams and Johnny
Ertle were to have boxed in the Oriole
City last Friday night. Rain before
noon caused the promoter to postpone
the show until Monday, although he
admitted that he made a mistake in do
ing so because the weather changed in
the p. M. and everything was lovely
for fistic debate in the evening.
Yesterday the sun was out brightly
all day and indications pointed to a
clear night for Williams and Ertle to
settle their glove difference. However,
along about p. m, when the crowd
started to stream out toward Orlole
Field, where the contest. a twelve
rounder to referees decision, was
scheduled to be put on, the elements
decided to butt in, throw a wrench in
the works and everything went flooie,
so now Promoter Freed is hopefully
hoping that rain doesn't interfere with
the detail tonight.
The postponing of a bout also is a
great strain on the boxers. Ertle threat
ened to leave for his home in st. Paul
last night, and it took lot of con
versation on the part of Freed to hold
him over. Williams Is all upset
anxious and bent on having the thing
finished.
Williams is the favorite.

JUDGE BEN LINDSEY.
 JUVENILE SPECIALIST,
 SPEAKS AT MERIDIAN

Meridian, Miss, November 20,-tSpa- cial. )-The members of the Rotary club at their weekly luncheon and the white school children of the city were en- tertained today with addresses by Judge Ben R. Lindsey of Denver. Col who stopped here en route from Jack son to the east.
 Judge Lindsey, famous in this .coun- try as a juvenile court judge, and for the interest he has taken in child wei fare work, spoke along these lines to both audiences and aroused considera- ole enthusiasm for the betterment of child life in the city. He made a strong plea for probation law and juvenile court to save the child in this state. He said the work that he has interested himself in along this line is but the continuation of the home and school in their relations to the child and that it is the duty of the state to protect the children. Such laws by the state would interfere with the children, he said only when the parents shirk or neglect their duty to- ward them

"The war demonstrated the tremen- dous military advantage of developed water power for producing those things that are of first importance in time of a great national emergency And we have only to look at the situation at Niagara Falls to see what this power will do for the district that has it to offer to industries in time of peace At Muscle Shoals we have power greater than the combined de- -velopments of the Alabama Power com pany. the Tennessee Power company and that great Carolina system, The Southern Power company.
 ''It may be fairly stated that never in the history of the association have we had more reason to feel encoir- aged to go ahead and complete the work that will add tremendously to the wealth and resources of this splan- did region"

SHAUGHNESSY TO QUIT
 TULANE U., IS REPORT

New Orleans, November a0-(Special.) J. The way of the Tulane football coach is crowded with trouble, and the aver age stay of the coach is only few seasons. Clark D. Shaughnessy has re- mained at Tulane at least one season longer than his predecessors, but now it is rumored that he will leave at the end of the present season!
 Shaughnessy is mum on the situation and President Westerfield doesn't care to discuss it. The reason for Shaughnessy's action is said to be partly due to con flict with Director Schultz and to failure of the Tulane council to provide proper outfits for the players.
 Schultz, now the director, will in all probability succeed Shaughnessy. Such move would eliminate some of the f1nan- cial burden carried by the T. A. A. during the past season.
