During the first five rounds Brennan landed solid left jabs to the face which Martin seemed unable to avoid, but in all of these sessions Martin, neverthe- less, had decidedly the better of the ex- changes.
 SPIRITED FIGHTING From the first round, which was about even, Martin bled profusely from the mouth. He was the aggressor, how ever, during the next four rounds and had Brennan on the defensive most of the time. In the fifth round Martin landed four right smashes to the head and jaw and seemed to have Brennan on the run. From that stage to the end of the eleventh Brennan was the master, sending stiff left jabs to the mouth, every one of which had weak ening effect on the receiver.
 A SMASHER
 In tho tenth round Martin, although he showed signs of weakness, sent a straight right smash to Brennan's jaw which staggered the Chicago man a couple of seconds before the bell : sounded.
 Had Martin landed this blow any time during the first five rounds, when he had all his strength behind his punches, it might have counted for a knockout in his favor.
 Brennan had all the better of the elev- enth, but in the Twelfth Martin rallied,

and at close quarters gave blow for blow and divided the honors of that session. Brennan being visibly tired as he went to his corner.
 Brennan had the better of the remain ing three rounds, the last of which found him continually trying to land a knockout blow, and the pair were fighting in a. fierce mix-up when the bell ended the bout.
 The faces of both were badly marked.
 SHORTEST MATCH
 Probably the shortest bout ever heid in Madison Square Garden was the opening heavyweight contest tonight, which lasted IS seconds. Whitey Allen of New York sent a right smash to the jaw of Bob Sweeney of Boston, sending him down for the count almost as soon as they squared off.
 Homer Smith of Kalamazoo, Mich, knocked out Wild Bill Reed of Caiifor- mia in the fourth round with hard right to the ear. Smith weighed 1Ss pounds and Reed 1S2.
 The third contest ended in the second round by the disqualification of Pinkey Lewis, a California negro heavyweight, for holding his opponent, Kid Norfolk, who holds the Rickard belt as the negro | light ht-heavyweight champion. Brennan and Martin entered the ring shortly before 9:30 p. m. Brennan weight was announced as 1854 pounds and Martins 1841z.

Babe Ruth Almost
 Won Another Title
 In I92O---S -Strikeouts
ny IRWIN M. HOWE

Besides his numerous scintillating performances, George ('Babe") Ruth of the New York Amefican league club finished second in a less praisewortny department of the game--strikeouts. But for a two-point margin held sy Aaron Ward, Ruth's teammate, the homo run king might have led this unenviable class Ward missed the agate S4 times in the seasons play, whereas Ruth failed to connect on a2 occasions.
 The glory of being the most success full in the number of strikeouts against the star slugger, is shared by Weilman and Shocker, both of the St. Louis club. Each twirler served tns invisible third strike to Babe" six times. Sneakers acc0mplishmen IS marked by the stellar feat of having whiffed the New York batsman three times in one game. This excellent achievement was equailed only by Keefe of Philadelphia. in the morning game of September 6. Shocker turned the trick in the first game of the dou- ble-header played in New York, July IS. Weilman, in compiling his SIX strikeouts against Ruth, gainea tie rdist1nction of being the only slabs man to whiff the batting act twice in each of two separate matinees-
 THIRD IN ONE GAME
 .Babe" also famed three times in the course of the afternoon on April IS, his conquerors beinge Naylor and Kinney of Philadelphia.
 Tn addition to Weilman. three other pitchers famed the Tank twice in one game. They were: Johnson and Shaw, Washington. and Russell, Boston Johnson slipped across his unhitable fast ones on April 79; Shaw sent Ruth back to the bench twice on May s1, third strike twice on May 8. In four other battles Huggins mauler hit the circumambient air twice, but in these instances two pitchers combined to fool the slugger.
 K OTHERS WHO DID IT
 Ranking after Weilman and Shoclxer for the total strikeouts acquired against Ruth are: Naylor and Keefe Philadelphia; Dauss, Detroit, and shaw. Washington. These artillerists compiled four strikeouts each in their contests with the New Workers wicked mace. Seven twirlers famed the circuit clouter three times each; eight whiffed him twice each; and I; succeeded in preventing contact of ball and bat only once. It inter- csting to note that Coveleslxie. Clevs- land, who finished tho 1920 ffseasoH first in strikeouts with 13S, found Ruth of assistance on only three occasions in amassing this figure. Williams Chicago, second among the strikeoui celebrities with 12S, famed Ruth but twice.
 It will be. quito likely, . revelation to fans to learn that the moundsmer of the clubs, least expected to trouble tho New York hitter were neverthe less his chief antagonists. This wal true of Philadeiphia and St. Louis; the combined efforts of ths two pitching

For Good of
 the Community


 for having given them sober period The pace was killing. It was bad for health, for business and for morals It was bad for men and women inside and out.
 The dose given when the system is out of order is not always palatable, but, when the restoration has been brought about, we are grateful that 1t was there to effect our cure. Especially gratifying to sick man on recovery is, upon return to his duties, to realize that absence from the hurlyburly of business has afforded him opportunity to refurbish his mental storehouse and remove the trash and litter that the hurlyburly had caused to gather there.
 Transportation problems have been considered in clearer light with less en- grossment in the movement of a present cargo. Men have had more time to think about basic transportation difficulties and remedies A lot of sound thought has evolved out of this consideration and some pronounced developments have taken place. z
 Never did so much interest exist in transportation by water. 1t is not an Ala bama matter only; it is felt by the nation. It reverberates from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast The waters of the country. are being tried out on broad lines.
 The recently organized Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Steamship line with semi monthly sailings between Mobile and the Pacific coast gives evidence of being the beginning of an extensive rail and water NTOIof Ia f<Nf ft<a ports of the coast is for inland distribu- tion. What is to come from the coast in return is for inland distribution.
 The Pacific coast believes that it can ship to Mobile by water and thence reship . three to four hundred miles into the in terior at rates under all-rail transporta- tion costs. A ship loaded with flour from Portland is on the way to Mobile, the flour to be delivered by rail. This vessel will pass one with full cargo of Alabama pipe, iron and other products for the coast.
 The canners of the Pacific coast are seriously considering establishment of their own lines of steamers to carry their goods to the east and bring back stuff from the east. The California fruit grow CTS stand at the forefront of enterprising Americans and represent hundreds or millions of dollars.
 The all4Water rates on merchandise from New Y ork via the Mallory line to Mobile and thence up the Warrior by the river barge line are about to be declared. That is the Omega of the Warrior scheme. All else that is fundamental has been done
 Work has been ordered begun on the fuel oil station at Mobile. It means oil in plenty for ships using oil. They will not be obliged to call.at New Orleans for fuel. More ships will come to Mobile as the re- suit.
 Contract has been let for the coal bins at Cordova They will quadruple the coal-loading capacity there and the work will be done with greater economy.
 Port of Birmingham is to have another < steel derrick. The self-propellers arc maintaining a weekly schedule. When the other two arrive it will be a semi-week- ly one. Merchants can bill by these self propellers as by an express train.

NEW WINE REGULATIONS
 ARE ALMOST COMPLETED
By Associnted Press

Washington. July 2S.-New prohi- bition regulations covering the dis tribution of wines for religious pur- poses have been almost completed, it was said today at the internal rev enue bureau
 The rules being prepared. officials said, are designed to assure churches the same standard of sacramental wines to which they were accustomed before the ban was put on whole sale liquor dealers under an opinion by former Attorney General Palmer.
 Request was made at recent hear ing before the bureau that Attorney General Daugherty review his prede- cessors ruling as far as it applied to dealers in sacramental wines. as the churchmen contended they could not obtain their standard of quality from wholesale druggists. The bureau takes the view, however. it was eX- plained. that a request for a new ruling would reopen the entire ques- tjon of wholesale liquor dealers, while. regulations can be drafted with special attention to importers which would accomplish the end sought without bringing the matter again before the Attorney General. One method suggested would be to permit bonded manufacturers of sac ramental wines to distribute their own stock and similarly, importers of wines for religious purposes.

LONDON AND DUBLIN STILL 0PTI MYSTIC
 AT PEACE PROSPECT
By AssocIateo rrets

London, July 2S.-The feeling both in London and Dublin over the @ros- poets of peace In Ireland remains op- timistic. Eamonn Devalera, the irish republican leader, today dis cussed the British terms with Arthur Griffith and others. at the Mansion House in Dublin. but no formal con informed inquirers that it was most unlikely any developments would take place in the immediate future.
 There will probably be further con sultation among the Sim Fein min isters after which a meeting of the Dali Eireann will be called. No date Tor this meeting has been fixed, and 1t IS presumed that notifications of the terms will be sought, before the republican parliament takes up the matter officially.
 General Shuts. the South African premier, 1t is understood. will go 10 Ireland early next week for the pur- pose Of consolidating if possible, the opposing factions of the north and the south. He will place his ser vices at the disposal of both MT. De Valera and Sir James Craig, the Ul- ster premier. and it is probable that he will have cons derabIe latitude in the task before him.
 The opinion in London is that the British terms are not likely to be ac- cepted as they stand, with more of his colleagues. and the Ulster premier has already declared that he would be available at any time he was really needed.

MISS WILLIS WORKS. OUT BILL OF FARE.
Studying PeIIagra, Which Is Reported Throughout
 the South

Auburn, July 23.-(S Special. )-The threatened greatly increased number of pellagra cases in the Southern States, as recently reported from Washington and elsewhere, has come to the attention of Miss Nina A. Willis. specialist in nutrition for the Alabama Extension Service. and since it is largely disease caused by improper nutrition a few sfgges- tions are offered by her as to it's prevention and also it's cure.
 In the first place. Miss Willis states that il Is a starvation disease, but that It is almost certain that it is a contagious disease, after the indivi- dual has been predispoed by improper nourishment. The well fed do not have 1t.
 According to Miss Willis, the main foods to be eaten to prevent pella- gar are milk, butter. eggs, and such green vegetables as turnips, mustard, collards cabbage, and especially spinach. Children are advised to drink one quart of good sweet milk each day, and this same amount would also be good for adults Those who drink buttcrmlk should in addition eat lots of butter rather than butter. substitutes. Sweet milk is rich in lime, which is one of the essentials for the prevention and also the cure of pellagra.
 Plenty of Eggs
 DF Eggs are low in lime, but rich in iron, while milk is largely the re- verse. Combining the two makes an excellent balanced diet.
 Fresh vegetables, as above men toned, are far too important to be overlooked In addition to mineral matters they contain vitamnes and soluble vegetable fats, both of which are necessary far proper nurishment to prevent pellagra.
 The fact that pellagra made rapid decrease following the great number of war gardens indicates, in the opinion of medical and nutritious authorities throughout the country, that plenty of fresh vegetables com bined with eggs. milk, and butter, as above outlined, will eliminate pella- gra dangers. and this one reason is sufficient to induce all who can to start now to have the best possi- ble fall and winter garden. This gar den should include collards, cabbage, turnips, mustard, spinach and other vegetables that will grow during the fall and winter.
 The above diet is not recom mended as cure for pellagra, ex cept in cases which have not gone too far. Those that have just de- veloped the disease should expect 1t to be cured by proper diet It has been especially prevalent in the. coun- try. in villages. and in the poor sec tions of the cities. and is observed to occur most frequently following periods of scarcity of food.
