Harrington to
 Battle Kelly Next Thursday

Dummy Harrington. local pride. and Battling Ken, former Atlanta fighs- CT. have agreed to meet In the ring next Thursday night for the benefit of the Birmingham Olympic fund The bout will go for ten rounds, unless one of the battlers lands q knockout punch before the allotted time. and will be staged at the Birmingham Athletic Club.
 The two rival fighters have not come to a final agreement on their respec- tive weights but 1t is thought this will be done right away.
 This bout will give the Magic City than second in the south for contri- buttons to the Olympic fund. At pres- ent Birmingham has not raised the quota asked for by the A. A. l.. of ficials. but the proceeds of the fight Thursday night should raise the re- auired amount. Either New Orleans or Birmingham will rank first with the other second.
 Harrington has not let up in his training since his fight with Larry Avera of Atlanta at Redwood Field last Tuesday The sailor is little the worse for his bout with Avera with the exception of a discolored optic, which is rapidly assuming a norma! appearance. Dummy is in tlp-top con- dition for the fight and is anxious to meet Kell. The welter king of thc south should be at his best Thursday night.
 Kelly. former professional from At lanta, who has fought the best welters of the Cracker City, has quite reph- tation as well as a wicked punch with which to go up against Barrington. Kelly has been in training for the fight for some time, and should be in good condition. The former Atlanta pro- fessonal challenged the winner of the Avera Harrington bout at the ringside last Thursday.
 Besides the headline attraction for the evenings entertainment, Tommy Tompkins of the B. A. C. has an- nounced that d number of good anna teur bouts will be put on. Six or seven fights will complete the programme,

Trauelers Far in
 Lead in Southern LeaglueR Chase

Atlanta, July 17.-Continuing their merciless attack on opposing pitchers and with an unofficial team batting average for the week since last Friday of .33S, the Little Rock Travellers have succeeded in opening even a wider gap between themselves and the second team than they held week ago. The Atlanta Crackers. who have gained second place in percentage of games won and lost by a remarkable series of victories, have been relying 1 on just the opposite kind of baseball, for their team batting, according to the same records, was only .219 during that
 | time. Fast fielding and airtight pitch ing have been largely responsible for putting the Crackers in second place,
 | for their drive has been accomplished against stronger teams than the Trav- elers have been meeting recently. The latter, however, have shown no par | ticular weakness in any department. Pitcher Hodge of Nashville. who held them to three hits in eleven innings yesterday was the only man during the week who could stop the Little Rock club, which has won six and lost
 one game since last Friday. Atlanta
 | came through with five victories and l two defeats, almost all the games be- ling pitching duels.
 New Orleans and Birmingham, the other two first division clubs, barely managed to hold their own, the Peli- cans breaking even in six games and l the Barons winning four and losing l six.
 | The best record of the week, out side of that of Little Rock, was made | by the Memphis Chickasaws. who ap- peared to have recovered from their
 recent slump and who won six and lost two contests. Mobile won three and
 dropped four. Nashville got three vic 1 tosies and five defeats. while Chatta-
 nooga. meeting Little Rock and Mem
 phis, lost all of the seven games

with lime kilns combined must be
erected with a minimum annual Ca
pacity of 100000 barrels of cement.
Concrete will be the chief building ma

Perhaps no other community in the

between rabbi and congregation been
so ideal as they are known to have
been in this community" said the rab-

calls in other fields during my stay in
Dayton, but have Stunned them all.
The time has come, however, when

vantage is placed at my. disposal.
