 The Canadians regained the mart- time laureis in two clean-cut races In which the American defender was clearly outclassed by her bigger rival.
 Capt. Marty Welch of Gloucester admitted after Saturdays race that he would have been loser even had his foretopmast not snapped in the stiff blow and today his vessel. tn 90 outpoint and outfoot the Lunen- burg schooner.
 What tho Gloucester man may have lacked In speed. her skipper tried to make up in strategy, bolt ing across the starting Hne eight lengths of Blue Nose.

PAINTERS MEET MISSISSIPPI AT
 RICKWOOD PARK
Mike Norton Will Be Back in Game Against the
 ChoctaWs

Coach Charlie Brown had his
 Partners out for morning practice a, Munger field yesterday morning, and the locals were sent through stiff workout in preparation for their
 game with Mississippi college at Redwood park Saturday afternoon. The squad was present almost to
 man and a good practice was taken. Panther boosters will be greatly pleased, no doubt, to hear the an- 1 nouncement that Mike Norton, cap tain and quarterback of the Metho- l dists, wwil be back in the game Satur-
 day. Norton's loss In the Mercer game Friday was keenly felt, as the Panther offensive had not the punch and drive it usually has.
 Regulars Back
 Two other regular backfield men | who have been out of the game with 1 injuries have returned. They are Miller and Rogers. Both are expected l to be in good shape for the Missis- l sippi game Saturday.
 | In the game with Mercer Big Hoss' Candy, star tackle of the l Partners. was run at fullback. and | his teammates claim he played a great game In the backfield. There's all
 ways the chance of the unexpected
 happening. and is would not be sur : l prising if Candy was used in the
 bacSfielG against Mississippi college 1 Saturday. He could still be used at backing up the line Candy is one of
 the best defensive men the Partners i have. and his work in backing the 1 line Is considered a feature of every
 game the Partners play.
 l Mabry in Reserve
 1 Mabry will probably be used
 against Mississippi also. Although ! the speedy back is not expected to i start, he will probably get in at least 1 part of the game.
 Coach Brown will probably devote
 2 large amount of his time this week
 in strengthening the line. The tor wards failed to show their accus- [ toned strength in the Mercer scrap, and the line will be bolstered 1p con l siderably. 1t is thought.
 | The game will take place at Rick l wood. and a large crowd is expected 1 to be on hand.

bouts was a. scrap between Meighan and Kid Young of Cincinnati. but Tommy Tompkins. matchmaker for the affair, announced last night that in place of Meighan, Freddie Boorde will be used as Young's opponent.
 Freddie Comes Through
 Freddie came through and fought great fight last night. decisively outpointing John McGinty in 10 rounds, although McGinty out weighed him 20 pounds McGinty is a good. clever boy, but Boorde's ex- perience and cleverness won the bout for him.
 Boorde showed more stuff in his bout last night than he did in his scrap with Meighan at the B. A. c. some time ago. Freddie seemed in shape,s and he seemed to have fallen back in his old-time habit of assum- ing the aggressive from start to finish.
 Kid Young, an eastern scrapner, is of course, expected to give Boorde one of the hardest fights he has ever had. Young is veteran ringman, and he knows his stuff" He is a hard hitter and would be a hard

BULLDOGS MEET FLORIDA ELEVEN
 NEXT SATURDAY
Local Outfit Goes to Mont gomery for Gator Game
 This Week

The Howard Bulldogs took stiff workout Monday afternoon In prepa- ration for their battle with the Unl- versity of Florida In Montgomery Saturday. It was previously an nounced that tho Bulldogs would meet the Marion Cadets in the capital Saturday, but the Bulldogs meet Florida instead. In this game the Howard gridders will run in to some of the toughest competition that they have faced this season. For the past few years 1t has been the custom Of a good many teams throughout the south to look upon a battle with the University of Florida as a set up, but from all the indications the Bulldogs are going to have a desperate strug- gle.
 This year. Florida has ono of the best teams 1t ever had, which is evi- denced by the manner, in which they held the University of Tennessee to a to 0 score. It will be recalled that the Tennesseans hel dthe Dart mouth aggregation to a If to score
 Not in Best shape
 At present the Bulldogs are not in the best of shape and the Howardites have big problem to solve If they do anything against the Florida battlers. One of the biggest blows to the How ard line is the injuryRf Roberts, the big gent from Oklahoma, who plays a stellar game at guard. Roberts was hurt badly in the Auburn game and did not get to perform any more until lest Saturday, when he was huct again. Hard luck has pursued the old long boy all of the season, but even with that he has played one of the best games of the whole Bulldog outfit.
 Another good man who will not be on hand when the Florida festivities start Is Jumbo" Lambert. The big one is down with chicken pox and his absence from the Sine-up will be a big blow to the Howardites, as he was hitting a stride that he had never at talned befSre and it was beginning to be impossible to gain around hls side of the line.
 At present things look more than gloomy for the Bulldogs, but they are hard working bunch so they may pun a surprise that people are not ex- pecting Saturday.

eliminated Michiga from immediate, championship considera- ton and firmly established Ohio State, 1920 champion, as a possible title winner.
 Ohio State, after being defeated. 7-6, few weeks ago, by Oberline, supposedly a minor college In foot ball, was counted out of tho race. The following week the Ohioans overwhelmed Minnesota. Despite this showing by last years cham pions, Michi gan was a fsvorite at the start of Saturday contest and the Wolverines defeat was disappointing to the followers of Coach Hurry Up" Yosts eleven.
 Ohio State Is now ranked with Wisconsin, Iowa and Chicago as a possible title winner, Chicago Joining the select circle by virtue of tho strength shown in It's victory over Princeton.
 Iowa. with an easy schedule, ap- parently has a better chance to go through the season undefeated than have Chicago, ohio State, or Wiscon- sin, these teams facing hard games with each other.

gressive throughout and outpointed his heavier opponent. McGinty showed considerably more class than he did in his first bout with Boorde, but his lighter oppAent knew too much last night.
 Boorde won seven of the 10 rounds, while the other three were even. Some snappy blows were passed. and the affair was not at all slow or tire some.
 Freddie Shows Class
 Freddie showed lots of his old time stuff" last night, especially. when he opened up a time or two and started slugging with McGinty.
 Before the McGinty- Boorde bout was announced as the final, Roy Cohen asked the fans present whether they wished this or to call the entire affair off and have their money refunded To a man the fans arose and shouted, "Glve us Fred die"
 'It was true sportsmanship," as- serted Roy Cohen, and in behalf of the Birmingham Athletic club wish to thank the fans for sticking by us when, through no fault of ours, we fell down.,
 Preliminaries s Kid Carlo won a three-round de- cision over Bud Appleton. The bout started slow, but the fighting be- came snappier as the bout proceeded and the affair was O. k.
 Young Sailor Dixon and Bert Green fought terrific three-round draw. Both Dixon and Green stood toe to toe and slugged matters out. with boys landing some hefty punches. It was a thriller from start to finish, and was one of the best bouts on the card.
 t Brady Does We'll
 Jack Brady, veteran of many scraps at the B. A. C.. once more ap- peared in the local ring last night, when he cleanly outpointed Johnny Mariow in afour-round scrap. Brady was in great shape, and deserves to win.
 Grady gave Marlow boxing lesson that Johnny took in good faith. Every round was Brady's but Mar low stood up and fought back hard. It was a great exhibition of boxing skill against stamina and strength, and Brady won the battle easily.
 Brady seems to have come back in great style, for he was in splendid form last night.

Stanley Meighan. veteran of sew eral fights in Birmingham and well on his way to the top, ruined his chances in Birmingham and lost a small housefull of friends last night py ruhning out of his match with Rabbit" Palmer. The house was too small, is the excuse offered by Meighan, but there is nothing that will ever convince the fans present last night that something else radi- cally wrong didn't cause Stanley's &C., .tions.
 Palmer Talks Straight
 He Is yellow" asserted Palmer after it was announced that Meighan wouldn't go on last night. Tonight makes the fourth time that Meighan, has run out of bouts with me. really believe that Meighan's afraid bto meet me.
 T should have known better than to. enter another agreement with stanley Meighan, but I won't be caught this way again. I am per- fectly willing to fight tonight. but iMeighan says he won't. His actions should be perfectly plain to Birming- ham fans, for this is the fourth time Melghans left me in the lurch this way.'
 Meighnn Pulled Boner
 In the honest opinion of the writer, Aeighan isn't yellow, but he cer-' tainly pulled boner by not fighting last night. He had all to lose and nothing to gain by refusing to go on with Palmer. As a result Of his ac- Iions, Meighan has, lost out entirely Tn Birmingham. Says Tommy Tomp- lzins, matchmaker at the B. A. O.:
 "Meighan's actions tonight bar him from further bouts in Magic City rings. He will never fight at the E. A. C. as long as I have anything to do with 1t, and he is barred from tne American Legion card at Rick wood park Friday afternoon. Freddie I}oorde will meet Kid Young Friday instead of Neighan."
 And Tommy's backed up by Roy Cohen, boxing supervisor at the B. IA. c.
 Boorde-McGinty Bout
 Here's where Freddie Boorde and John McGinty come in. Billed as a siNAround semi final affair, their bolt was changed to 10 rounds, and tho two fought first-class battle, lsoorde winning the decision over Me Ginly at the end of the 10 rounds.

 Skull practice occupied two hours of the Athenians' time Monday night.
 It seems now that the Auburn game, whose real importance was ap- parently lost in consideration of the encounter with the Harvard Crimson earlier in the season, has at last loomed up in the minds of Georgia supporters as the hardest one on the Red and Black schedule.

 Randall Recovers
 Loren Randall, another freshman packfield find, has also recovered rom his injuries and ran signals Monday with not trace of his leg stiffness apparent. Thus, barring any other accidents, Georgia will 1bave ner iull backfield strength in readi. ness for the game next Saturday.
 Everyone here is heralding the game with Auburn with worlds oi enthusiasm. and it is believed at this 1uncture that fully 50 per cent of Ithe student body would be on hand in coiors when the opening whistle blows. The Central of Georgia and the Seaboard roads are offering cheap. rates and special trains, with liberal travelling privileges. and this sco-operation on the part of the rail- roads is taken as substantiation of the fact that attendance will-be un- precedented.

HUNGRY THIEVES
SEEM TO BE RUNNING
AT LARGE IN CITY

Thieves are running wild in the city
according to the opinion Of the vic
Tins, and the diminutive police force
seems powerless to put a crimp in
the crime wave or capture any of
the perpetrators in the act.
Last night the residence of A. L.
Leach, 120 T. street southwest near
the Carnegie library was entered while
ughly ransacked. a large quantity
of bed clothing, some womens wearing
apparel, mems clothing and shoes, a
rifle, and all the groceries and meat
on the place were stolen and the
police have no clue as to who pulled
off the job. The matter was reported
as soon as the family returned at 8
O'Clock but so far no one has been
apprehended although Chief Chancel-
lor stated this morning that he was
satisfied that he knew who did the
work and would have him in jail
within a short time.
The southwest part Of the city
seems to be fertile field for the
night prowlers and unless more police
protection is granted THAT section the
property owners will probably organ.

to the depredations and the ones who
are responsible at the same time.
