outs
ny HARwELL ALLEN


what of fight on his hands wher
he meets Newton at the B. A. G
Monday night. The Mansfield boy is
a middleweight who viii probably
weigh in around $50 pounds, and is
touted as being as fast as a streak Of
lighting, both with his mitts anc
with his feet.
Newton has confined most of his
fighting activities to the north an
east, and has met and defeated some
of the best middleweights in his ter.
ritory.
Probably the best fight the Mans
field scrapper ever waged was whe
he barely lost l5-round decision tc
Bryan Downey, who is claiming the
middleweight crown. Newton, ac-
cording to newspaper reports, los
the fight on a close decision and KEPT
Downey working every minute of the
fight. Every one who has seen hin
fight says that Newton is the mar
who will give Dummy" a good rur
for his money, and maybe good
licking.
harrington at Work
Darlington fully realizes Newton's
ability and has been working as he
never worked before TO get In shape
for his battle Monday night. Dummy
also realizes that this is a good OPP
portunity for him to show that Ii
is a middleweight worthy of match
with any man in the south.
Officials of the club have tried sew
. Inl A hn1 I'D
my In the same ring together, but
Jake has always shown lots of brains
in refusing to fight Dummy. II Bar
rington can win from Newton he will
have proven to the fans that he Is .
first class scrapper and win be in
line to meet better scrappers.
In his two years of battling, Bar
rington has done most of his fight
ing in the welterwergnt division, ans
has gotten some victories over SOME
mighty good boys of this class. How
ever, he has lost some fights, but a
ways they were close ones and were
nough to keep away from Dummy
wallop.
Good Prelims Promised
Aside from the main bout. which
promises to be a real hair-raiser, the
b. A. C. is also planning to give the
fans a real good prelim card. II an
opponent can be found for him fans
will probably be given anothe:
chance to see Claude Wilson in action
Wilson is just kid and has not be an
boxing very long, but he is one 81
the best boys that ever crawle1
through the ropes of Birmingham
ring. He is fast, packs a snappy
punch and can take the best of wal
lops without being the least bit wor-
ried about them. He is still just an
amateur, and intends to remain III
this class for some time. but he is
thinking of going professional some
day, and he should go good.
stevens May Fight
Danny Stevens will appear on the
program il some one can be found
who is willing to risk a good neck
by getting in a ring with this boy
Stevens is a clever boxer and knows
enough to outlook most any one
around here in his class, but his main
asset is heavy wallop which he
lands in large quantities. Last Mon
day night he was matched with an
other bantamweight. but when his
opponent thought things over he de-
cided not to fight. Officials are try
ing to find some one else who will
fight him. and If they succeed II
should be classy bout.
With two more good bouts being
arranged, the fight card Monday
night should be one of, the best thai
the B. A. c. has ever put on.
