Winners to Represent B. A. c. at Junior National Event Here First of Year
Rx HARwELL ALLEN

The city amateur boxing tourney. which comes off at the 8. A. c. Fri day night, should be one or rhe best ring events ever stages pS the ath- letic club. The prospects are that more real fights will be fought on this night than any other night in the history of boxing In Birmingham. 1his is not true in only one or two classes. but fights should be excep- tionally good in every class. Twenty nine boys have entered the tourney.
 Starting at the 112-pound class, Claude Wilson Is one of the best anna -teurs that ever performed in Magic City. Wilson is a speed specialist and he Is one of the cleverest boys that has ever fought at the B. A. c. He made his public appearance in the southern amateur tourney at the B. A. c. last March, and, even though he only weighed around 1o2 pounds, he went in and landed third place in the 110-pound class. Wilson Is a mighty good boy and he should go strong in the city tournament.
 sarron Is Wilson's Rival
 Wilson's strongest rival will be Stevie Sarron of the Boys club. Sar- ron Is just about Wilson's size in every way and even fights with the same style, but he possesses a harder WNAAOP tndH W AiSOH dtio lHiS puHCn IS liable to win Sarron city title If Wilson doesn't watch his opponent mighty close.
 There are bunch of good boys in the 11S-pound class, but Danny Stew ems seems to be the best of this class. Stevens has fought on numerous oc- casion on preliminaries and he has never failed to furnish the fans with lots of excitement. He is not only clever and speedy. but he is one of the best punchers that ever fought around the B. A. c. for his size.
 In the 125-Pound Game
 Jimmy Woods, Horace Hooper and Howard Smiles are the ones that should furnish most of the excite 'ment In the 125-pound class. Woods is generally rated as the cleveres [ of the three, being one of the best amateurs in Birmingham. However, he will not have an easy job at land Ing first honors, if he is lucky enough to land them, as Smiles and Hooper are couple of tough boys and are capable of putting up a good fight with the best of them. Aside from these three boys Bert Daniels Bishop Lay and Bill Carough are also being counted upon to do some good fight Ing for the city honors of their class
 Speedy Newman. of the 135-pound class, should also be good attrac- ton, as he Is good, fast fighter of the slugging type. Newman won the southern amateur championship in the last tournament held here in March.
 Mac After Title
 He Is going to have some trouble this time though, as Chuck McElwain has announced his intention of going out for the city title ant he is good enough to give most any amateur that has fought around here is a long time hard fight. McElwain is prob ably one of the cleverest boys in the tourney and he should make a strong bid for first ,honors
 The mIddleweight division should furnish some good entertainment. with Bob Bowden, Jack McGinty and Young Dixon as the most likely look sng boys in this class. Bowden fought 5n the southern amateur tourney here last March, and while he was unable to land the title. he did some good work and proved himself a capable lighter. Jack McGinty and Young Dixon are both good boys and should give Bowden a lot of competition in Fhe mfddleweight division.
