When Joe Meets Martin

When Joe Meets Martin
 Joe White is the Goliathian Tuscaloosa citizen, who made up his mind two years ago that he would go out and get Dempsey. Champion Jack is still Intact, but Joseph is stil1 training with all the zeal that marked his getaway. He's great, big, double-j -jointed boy, who can absorb worlds of pun ishment. but who hasn't ad- vanced with any rapid strides toward giving punishment. Joe apparently has worked on the theory ever since he entered the prize ring that it's better to re- cetve than give. Patsy Haley, however. believes the former sawmlller has bright future before him as & ringman.
 Martin Burke, who is to meet White, has had d career of ups and downs in the squared arena. He started after pugi- listc fame in the amateur ranks, coming to Birmingham several years ago, and seeking the anna teur title. Martin had hard luck on that visit. The judges gave the decision to one Clements. en- tered by Dr. Starke. a transient sportsman, and Martin and his prowd went back to New Orleans disgruntled.
 Later he was awarded the na- tional heavyweight champion ship among the amateurs In com petition at Boston, and then de- veloped into a professional, being in Dempsey's camp while Jack was training for Willard, Demp- sey took d great personal liking to Burke. and 1t may have been due to this personal fondness that Dempsey predicted Burke would one day be champion of these Drynited States.
 Burke got away to a meteoric start, beating some good men. Later he lost to some pugs not so well known. Then he started a comeback, and so it has been all through his career. He will send his skill and punching power against Whites ability to absorb punishment, and his bulk.
 Irishman Should Triuinph
 Stanley Meeghan, the Irish windmill, will do battle against Kid Young, who Is labeled a Cin- cinnattian on the billboards. but who Is really citizen of At lanta now. Young formerly lived in Redland, but has taken out citizenship papers in Atlanta.
 Meeghan should win his fight, c. Fn1l ts. rIx l. ways In condition. Young, on the other hand. Is ring general of no mean qualities. and can give and take. However, he has a tendency to smoke fag every now and then. and this has not helped his wind. Young was all ways recognized around Atlanta as one of the toughest birds in the Gate City's stable of boxers, but he doesn't fight as often as Meeghan.
 LoEsn, the Freak
 Dixie Jack Aliens features will not be knocked awry as badly as they were last Monday night when he goes against Shifty Logan, the eccentric dancer from Memphis. Allen might even reg ister kayo. If Logan remains where Allen hits for. Logan is a Hitter, however, and Is very sell dom to be located in the place where his foe aims for.
 Allen has punch. Logan hasn't. If Allen lands he'll get hls man. If he misses continually and both men are on their feet at the end of the 10-round en- gagement Logan will get the de- cision. Shifty can't hit hard. but he can hit often, and he'll pile up points without number, unless Allen is successful in coming through with the old sockdolager.
 Boxing . Ia Hoyic
 The go between Larry Avera of Atlanta and Sailor Blanque Of New Orleans will probably fur nish the most scientific boxing or the big card. Avera is another one of these boys who startle with his speed and cause the fans to marvel by lis cleverness. Blanque has demonstrated time and time again. in Birmingham that he's one of the most scientific scrap pers in the realms of Dixie. On form, Blanque should win from Avera, but 1t should prove a real interesting tilt from the first gong to the last.
 The Two Battlers
 Battlings Budd and Kelly Will wind up the all-star performance. The Kelly boy Is a Birmingham
