HARRINGTON WILL
 HAVE HANDS FULL AGAINST M'KINNEY
Memphis BattIer Has Fought Benny Leonard and Jack
 BrittOn !
By MAXWELL ALLEN

Fans of Birmingham who have been waiting for a chance to sec & boxing match in which two real first class fighters are participating may have their wishes gratified on Mon day night, when Dummy Barrington the local pride, crawls through the ropes for a 10-round argument with Dummy Mckinney the Memphis mute
 Dummy Burlington is not only go- ing to be back after a months ab sence from public participation with more science and more wallop and in the best condition of his life, but in this match he is going against a fighter who likes to fight and, while scientific man, had rather indulge in good slugging match than in any other form of fighting.
 Mckinney Has "Rep"
 Mckinney comes here with a more formidable reputation than any fighter who has ever donned the gloves in Magic City ring for he has nat only gained decision over Morris Lux, who met Benny Leonard and lost on a decision, but ne has also met Jack Britton and Benney Leonard. Of course, he lost both of these fights, but he managed to keep from falling victim 10 a sleep pro- Gucing punch in both fights, and travelled the full 10 rounds with both men.
 The Memphis mute has never been knocked out, and moreover, he has lost very few decisions so he ought to be able to make himself & good size handful when he starts mixing it with the local battler.
 Harrington in Trim
 AS for Harrington, he will go .nto the ring better man in every way than he has ever been before in his whole ring career.
 One of the new things to this bat tie is the way In which Mckinney will be summoned to and from the ring. A red flag raised in front of him is a signal to start the round while the signal for the end of q -stanza is a write flag.
 In the semifinal, Frank Chas.ain and John McGlnty will mix matters for six rounds.

WANT DATE SET FOR
 SCHEDULE ARGUMENT
By Associated Press

Atlanta. July 14.-Representatives of southern carriers and shippers will appear before the interstate commerce commission in Washing ton July 26 10 ask that date be set for arguments on tentative schedule of freight rates into south eastern territory. it was announced tonight
 The announcement which came at the close of four-day conference on the question of south bound rates was supplemented by statements that the meeting had resulted in elim- ination of many barriers to an agreement and that carriers ana shippers would appear before the commission with many points already settled.
 There has long been a controversy over rates from Mississippi river crossing points, points in Virginia, the ca stern seaboard and from south Atlantic ports into this territory and these were discussed from many an eles at the meeting here. The long and short haul and many technical matters entered into the problem.
 The commission recently recom- mended a schedule of rates both on northbound and southbound freight with the proviso that the two sides agree on them before they went into effect as the roads had no objection to the northoound rates but con- tended thar the proposed readjust- ment of rates into this territory would cut too deeply into their revenue.
