WILL KILBANE SEE FOLLY OF FIGHTING
 WITHOUT MANAGER?
Benny Valger Easily Out pointed Champion In Re-
 cent Battle - JOhny Without Leader

New York. March 4.--(SpeciaI)- )-Did
 Johnny Kilbane's battle with Benny
 Valger, French featherweight, in New Jersey last week prove to him the folly of trying to get along without a man ager? Johnny was outpointed by Val ger in that match and in the two last rounds he was smothered with punches, one of which might have robbed him of his crown. Kilbane's closest friends in Cleveland say he Is through trying to do the match-m ing and the fighting and will return to Jimmy Dunn before he tackles Johnny Murray on March 19 at Pater- son, N. J. Dunn discovered Kilbane, developed him and led him through to the championship. Recently the pair fell out" and the champ has been go-
 tng 1t single handed.
 In his fight with valger Kilbane was seconded by friends. He was forced to do most of his thinking and | figuring himself. In past battles he depended upon Dunn's eagle eye to find openings and advise him, with the result he was rarely. If ever. hard pressed to prance through for the pop ular decision. Dunn Is a master at figuring the other mans stuff and working accordingly.
 Kilbane and Dunn have severed business relations. but they are still as friendly as a couple of pups. ''I wish him all the luck in the world, " l said Dunn in discussing his break with

AUBURN RIFLE MEN
 CONTINUE ID WIN
 COLLEGE MATCHES
North Georgia Aggies Lose to Tiger Marksmen. Many Matches Are
 Scheduled

Auburn, March 4.-(Specia1.) )-The Auburn rifle team continues to take honors in the gallery rifle matches now being held with other colleges of this and adjoining states. On Satur- day last matches were won from the University of Georgia and the Missis- s.ppi A. & M. College, and now the team has just defeated the team Of the North Georgia Agricultural College at Dahlonega by a score of 496 to 4Ss. The North Georgia team made the best score of any team thus far op- posing the Auburn sharpshooters, but as seven of the ten composing the Au- burn team made perfect scores the pace was t9o swift for the Georgia riflemen.
 It is interesting to know the method of selection for the team. At the be- ginning two men were selected from each company to take the training and invited to tryout from time to time. and eventually eighteen shot well enough to qualify for the team. Some ot the team are really expert rifle shots G. B. Kemp c. H. Snuggs and A. O. Taylor are all ex-lieutenants, with the groundwork gained from con tinuous army practice. R. A. Cham ! pers ana H. M JoHnstoh were iheIh- bers of the Camp Taylor. Kentucky, team attending the national match at Seagirt. N. J.. last year. so they are in the veteran class.
 Georgia Tech is the next match to be shot. probably on Thursday, March II, and additional matches will be ar ranged later with the University of Alabama Spring Hill and Vanderbilt. Every year in August the national match Is held either at Seagirt, N. J., or on Lake Erie at Camp Perry, Ohio. Plans are now being made to send the Auburn team on for that event.

GERMAN DYES
 ARE NOT NEEDED

Philadelphia, March 3.-Medical re- search libraries in this country, in their search for tuberculosis specific or cure for any other disease are no longer de- pendent upon German-made dyes. Made in America dyes are now being used. They give as good results as did imported dyes used before the war.
 This announcement was made at the Henry Phipps Institute, where laboratory experiments developed that certain dyes localized themselves in tuberculosis tis- sue. Efforts are being made to modify these dyes with other chemical agents that will kill the tuberculosis germs.
 Trypan red dyes have been found to give the sbest results As many as seventy-fve notifications of this dye have been used in experimentation. Other reds and some blues have also been used. The staining qualities act as guide to the localization.

ATHLETIC CARNIVAL
 WILL BE HELD IN . BAG. GYM TONIGHT
Boxing and Wrestling Matches on Tap for En- tertainment = Forbes
 Hendricks Bout Is At
 tracing Attention

With a troupe of highly trained athletes slated to meet
 in fstic and graphing encoun- ters, the Birmingham Athletic
 Club expects to put on one of
 the best fighting shows seen
 here in quite a while tonight,
 with activities beginning at 8:30 o'clock.
 Six boxing bouts have been sched-
 ured, and after glance over the lists, one is convinced that there is not a
 dub" match among. the six. Twelve high class men will light in these bouts. Aired, Hanna, Burney Smiles, Ches- tain. Dixon, Candy, Johnson. Evans
 and Harrington are local fighters, and
 are well known in fistic circles here. Lewis and Harris are out-of- town boys, but if reports may be relied upon, will
 be able to hold their own in their re-
 spectiye bouts tonight. Lewis meets
 Chestain. and Harris clashes with Bar rington, the Acipco fighter.
 A good wrestling bill has been ar
 ranged. Several bouts, of which the
 affair between Mike Forbes and Claude
 Hendricks. for the city 145 pound title, is the most important, have been sched-
 uled. The affair between Forbes and
 Hendricks is attracting quite @ bit
 of attention. as each grappler is known for what he is worth.
 The other wrestling matches sched-
 uled are also good. and with battle royal to wind up the entertainment the programme for tonight is an ideal one. Mike Forbes is headlock artist. He
 has a great liking, with plenty of talent mixed in, for snatching his op- ponent around the head, casting him upon the floor, and either making him pat the mat, or have the referee do the batting for him, upon Mikes back. On the other hand. Hendricks has a way all his own when it comes to either avoiding vicious headlocks or wiggling out of same without any harm to him. self.
