'THE BAT" OPENS AT THE
 JEFFERSON TONIGHT

The greatest sensation of the sea son, or among the greatest, is The Bat a play by Mary Roberts Rein hart and Avery Hopwood, which will open an engagement of three nights tonight at the Jefferson with mat inee on Wednesday.
 This play has played to crowds In New York for the last year. and Is making a sensational tour over the country. Absolute capacity andi- ences are the rule at each perform ance given of "The Bat" and thou sands, literally. who desire to see the performance, are finding them selves unable to secure seats.
 The success of "The Bat on tour is not hard to understand. The play itself is loo per cent entertainment. It is thrilling. mysterious and dra- matic. Iore, it. is uproariously funny Critic after critic has de- clared unequivocally that one char acter in "The Bat Is unouestionabiy the funniest character ever seen on any stage, no matter what the char acter of the play. And this, mind you. in play that has been called "the greatest mystery play ever written"

Interest Great As Boxing
 Carniual for Friday Takes
 Form. FiUe Bouts On Card
RABBIT" PALMER

As part of Birmingham's semi centennial celebration this week, q monster boxing carnival will be staged at Redwood park Friday aft ernon, when five 1O-round bouts will take place. The bouts start prompt iy at 2 o'clock and will continue straight through the afternon until the 50 rounds of milling are over. Of course, there vii be the usual lit- tie side features to vary the mo- nctony of so much boxing.
 Redwood park will be the scene of the battling. A special elevated ring has been constructed for the oc- casion, and will be put in readiness for the bouts some time during the first part of the week.
 Seals to Referee
 Riscoe Seals will referee the bouts, with the aid of another competent official to be selected this week.
 As to the fights, the biggest bout on the whole programme, and one which is causing more interest than any fight staged here, Is the one which will take place between Joe White, the youthful battler from Tuscaloosa, and Martin Burke, the befreckled mitt weilder from New Or leans. This fight is one which many other cities have been after
 Martin Burke, as every one knows. is pug who has not been forced to confine his ring activities to the south. He has fought in the east on numerous occasions. In every one of the battles he has had tough opponent to face, and his losses have been very scattered among his large number of victories.
 Joe Is Young Yet

EILEEN PERCY IN "BEWARE
 THE BRIDE," AT FIVE POINTS

Beware the Bride" the feature picture at the Five Points theatre today has been said by those who have seen 1t to be a comedy drama of the utmost charm. It is the story of a bride, a real story of deep heart interest. but told with sense of humor and with comical incidents that make it into comedy drama, or as the combined word Is meant, it is both comedy and drama in one, the most delightful form of modern en- tertainment.
 Starring in Beware the Bride is Eileen Percy. one of the most beau tifully dressed women of the screen. In this she is said to wear number of pretty gowns. So the production gives the actress not only a-chance to show her art, but an opportunity to display that charm of style that adds much to the screen story.
 The usual fine music of this picture house, furnished by their Million Dollar Orchestra" will be played as usual during the presentations. This six-piece orchestra is the special fea- .ure of the Five Points theatre A two-reel comedy will also be given.

Howqrd Bulldogs
 Are Training for
 Game With Marion

Still stinging from the defeat which the Chattanoogans handed them last Saturday, the Howard Bull dogs today start training for the game which comes off with Marion at Montgomery Saturday. Many have been inclined to think that the game with the cadets would be a very minor affair for the Howardites, but those who saw the cadets in Aaction against Birmingham Southern few weeks ago have 8 different opinion. In this game the cadets showed a wonderful amount of punch on the offensive and their defensive was of the kind that would do credit to any team. It is quite true that the Pan thers made three touchdowns off the Marionites and held them scoreless, but for the most part the cadets had Birmingham outplayed. and did good to hold them to observation-disclosures
 Coach Marshall will probably give his "Bullpups" as much work as the Humane society will permit during thls week. While Howard was pitted against a much better team Satur- day than the Moccasins are generally cracked up to be. they did not play up to par If the line and back field had shown the fight in this at- fair that they showed against Au- burn they might have won the game.
 Bulldog Ends Do We'll
 One of the most noticeable things about the Bulldogs Saturday was the work of the ends. Shelton, Shores, Red" Brown and Stubbs all played we'll Ssubbs showed more class than he or any of his mates have shown thus far this season. He was on the job in cutting them down on the offensive and never during Che entire game did he miss getting man coming his way with the ball Many times he snagged the man when he was going the other way. Aside from this, Stubbs helped to complete some mighty good passes.
 Next to Stubbs, Pat Shores played the best game that Howard end has played in many niovns. He was sent In for the second time at the begin- ming of the last quarter. He com pleted three out of five passes and then, after being knocked out for about five minutes. he went In and broke up play after play that the attempted around his side of the line.
 Garrett Stars nt Tackle
 Another man who did some spec
 
 played right tackle for the Bulldogs. Garrett stayed in every minute of the game, during which time he opened up hole after hole in the op- posing line and was a brick wall on the defensive
 Aside from the playing of the above men, the line played way be- low the usual form, and unless stricter training rules are observed and more work is done by the whole team, they are liable to take another beating at the hands of the cadets.
 Generally speaking. Howard nas the best material that they have had in years, and they should have better year than for some time. But if the men do not take care of them- selves the outlook for the coming games Is anything but bright. All of the teams which they have met so far have been a touch bunch. and those that they meet in the future are just little bit tougher, so if the Bulldogs expect to win they will have to work hard on the fiolo and observe strict training rules, with the accent on the training.

 sewance Hejoices
 Followers of the Kentucky Col onels and the Golden Tornado were not the only ones to have reasons to rejoice, for the Sewanee Tigers came down from their mountain lair and humbled Alabama 17 to o. It swas the first time in seven years that Sewanee team had bested Alabama at football and the result. while it gave some credence to fears that the Thin Red Line" is not as good this year, also attested the truth of re ports that the Tigers have put out their best team in several seasons
 The Sewanee victory, reminiscent

Last minute additions to the fight card for tonight have made the bill a very attractive one. In addition to the Palmer -Meighan fight, there will be four others, as follows:

 Young Dixon vs. Sailor simpson, four rounds.
 Kid Daniels vs. Johnny Marlow. three, rounds.
 Jack Brady ys. opponent to be se- iected this morning

 Freddie Boorde, who will pass through Birmingham on hls way back to Atlanta after a fight in Montgom- cry Friday night. has agreed to give John McGinty a return bout, Me Ginty was Stopped by Boorde when Freddie was at his best here, but the Pratt City lad has improved a lots since then, and ought to redeem him- self tonight.

Sail or Dixon claims his find is a genuine conner. and believes that he will win from Simpson tonight Young Dixon has won several bouts since the Sailor took hold of him. and he ought to make a good showing tonight.
 Daniels vs. MarIow

Jack Brady, provided he is in shape when weighing in time comes this morning, will be put on the card with an opponent to be selected this morning. Jack says he is ready for anything along the lines of a fight, and is only waiting for tonight to come. Taken all in all, this prelim- mary bill promises to be entirely up to standard.
 Palmer VT. Meighan
 Back to the main scrap, the bout between Palmer and Meighan, the local boy is meeting one of the hard est hitters he has ever gone up against, and that covers his career back over the several years he has been fighting.
 Palmer, like Meighan. is veteran ringman, and has met some of the best top notchers in the country. The Palmer -Meighan bout is approaching first class boxing, as both are about the best in their class in Dixie, and are capable of taking the measure of some of the higher class eastern battlers.
