Battling Kelly and Harrington
 toMeet Tonight

A fight card of seven bouts will
 compose the programme at the
 Birmingham Athletic Club tonight.
 with the ten-round affair between
 Dummy Harrington and Battling
 Kelly the feature attraction.
 The two boxers. weighing 145 pounds, will step into the squared arena In the best of condition, due to extensive training. Harrington has not let up hard training since his fight with Larry Avera of Atlanta. while Kelly started conditioning before that battle.
 The proceeds of the fights tonight will go to the Birmingham Olympic fund, the full quota of which has not been raised. The Magic City did not come up with subscriptions to the amount asked for by the A. A. U of ficials, and local men started agitation for fight card to raise the necessary amount. The proceeds of tonight's programme should put Birmingham either first or second in the south in the amount raised.
 Harrington and Kelly are slated to mix affairs and show plenty of action in the ten rounds of the fight tonight Neither boAer was satisfied with the result of a previous meeting, and both are anxious to face each other again.
 Kelly has quite reputation as a ring artist, having fought the best professionals of Atlanta.
 Dummy, the amateur weIter king
 of the south, is the idol of local
 boxing fans, and the fact that he
 has n wicked punch is proven by
 the results of his bouts. He is of
 the aggressive type, md puts
 plenty of action into the fight.
 He had Avera on the defensive
 most of the time in their recent
 bout, and 1t was on this account
 that . large number of his admir-
 CTS contended he should hnve
 draw with the Atlanta battier.
 Other bouts on the programme should bring forth plenty of action. Chestain who fights McElwain, is one of the best on the B. A. c. team, and couples science with hard punch. McElwain is a worthy opponent. and this four round affair should be a nifty encoun- ter.
 Alfred, 125-pounder, who is slated tc tackle Arnold, is another fighter who will be heard from before his ring days are over. The special weight is a hard hitting. scientific boxer. and is under the direct supervision of Sailor Dixon, the local professional.
 Jack Brady and Dick Ryan, sched- uled to battle six rounds. should stage one of the feature bouts of the even. ngs entertainment.

 Some fine scores were made during
 the tournament, which came to
 close with almost ideal weather
 conditions. The state shoot was the
 most successful that has ever been
 held, and is by far the largest num-
 Der of trnpshooters who ever came
 together in Alabama. It is the sec
 ond largest shoot that has ever
 been held in the south, III shooters
 competing in the events.
 Although most of the best shots came through in fine form, some did not come up to expectations. T. K. Lee. turning in card of 140 out of 150 today. was eliminated by the score. James Gordon title holder of last year. completed IT mart of the tourney, but did not finish the shoot.
 B. E. Strader led the state profession als with the score of 365 out or 4oo while Warren led the entire fielo our ing the entire tournament with the IF mark of 390 out of possible 400.

CUP DEFENDER WINS;
 SIR THOMAS IS STILL CONFIDENT OF VICTORY

Sandy Hook. N. J.. July 21.-The defender Resolute today defeated Shamrock " in their series for the Americas cup by her time allowance and not a second more.
 Starting a long stern chase, Sham rock steadily cut down Resolute's lead until within the last mile she came alongside the defender, passed her and crossed the line nineteen seconds ahead of her by official calculation. This. therefore, would mean that the yachts. boat for boat, actually had tied on elapsed time.
 The elapsed times of the two
 sloops exactly equal after
 their struggle over a thirty-mile
 wfndward and leeIsard course. In-
 deed. to the noviSe, the result was
 in the nature of a paradox, for
 whereas Shamrock was first to
 cross the finish line and took cx-
 actiy the same number of seconds
 to cover the course. she lost-be-
 cause she had to give ResoIute

SHAMROCK WILL WIN,
 SAYS SIR THOMAS

On Board Yacht Victoria, July e1.- The confidence of Sir Thomas Lipton expressed following Tuesdays race that Shamrock would lift the cup, was not shaken by today's result. He an. nounced at the conclusion of the con- test today that Shamrock was all right and would be on the scratch again Friday after a day spent in dry dock for cleaning.
 "I can honestly say that I am not sorry ResoIute wOn," Sir
 Thomas said. 'I like n good fight. It was beautiful race, close finish, and the winner deserved it.
 If I nm fortunate enough to win
 1t will make me very happy, but
 the victory will be all the more
 enjoyable if my opponent has had

 on Shamrock as I ever was."
 Sir Thomas had no criticism for his

The American running stag and pistol shooting team also have arrived, and with the rifle team which is now train ing at the Coblenz army range, com plete the American representation to take part in the shooting events.
 The trapshooters. under Jay Clark, finished an easy first at the Tendon shoot, breaking 11S out of a possible 1eO targets in the team match and winning five first places in the individual events, Frank Froeh made perfect hundred.

 Besides" he added. the Yankees al- ways build good boats."
 Col. Duncan Neil, Sir Thomas yaching master, sailed on Shamrock as an observer.
 There Is nothing wrong with the boat" he said after the race. We are confident she will win. Resolute sailed a fine race and beat us out to the windward."
 During the day Sir Thomas wat flooded with messages of congratula- tions. One, relayed- to him on the Vic. toria, was from Harry Lauder. now in Cape Town, South Africa. In his mail, which arrived, today were twenty-fivs letters containing shamrocks or foul leaf clovers.

and one second to compensate for
 her greater sail spread.
 The elapsed time of both yachts was 4:03:06, by official figures. Unofficial timing gave Shamrock one second more elapsed time than Resolute.
 The series now stands: Shamrock 2, Resolute l. There will be no race to- morrow, as planned because the green sloop goes to drydock to have her underbody scraped by order of her owner, Sir Thomas Lipton.
 Today's tie, boat for boat was the first in the history of the cup races. The finish of the first race, won by Resolute in the 1920 regatta, not only recalled but surpassed the contest be- tween Shamrock II and Columbia in 1901, when the yachts finished two seconds apart.
 The next race will be Friday.

"Advices and information coming

humanity which have prompted the
people of the United States during
the last two years to relieve the

Near East, must not be allowed to

collect sufficient funds to enable

upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratified with the results.
