TONIGHT'S FIGHT SHOULD
 BE ONE OF THE BEST

The scrap at the Athletic club to, night between Ashton Donza of New Orleans and Deuette Alfred of Besse- mer should be one of the best vel staged in Birmingham, for it brings together two of the classiest little featherweights in Dixie.
 Donza is a suDerb fighting mn-

 supple sinews, and has splendid

 Alfred is slightly taller than Donza weighing perhaps a few pounds more He is equally fast with his hands, bu' perhaps has not quite as excel1 ea footwork as Donza. He is Donza's equal in physique and boxing skin but lacks the experience of the Cres cent City lad, and experience goes { long way towards deciding a battle oi any kind
 It should be a close fight. one ha is replete with thrills from start te finish.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-01-20

The Athletic club has arranged prob ably the best fight yet staged in Bir- mingham in matching Deuette Alfred and Ashton Donza for 10-round af- fair here tonight. Both youngsters ara in splendid trim for the bout tonight and local bugs may expect a thrilling affair from start to finish.
 The fight tonight will be preceded by several high-class preliminary bouts. the first of which will start promptly at S:2O o'clock.
 Tommy Tompkins, boxing in- structOr of the Birmingham Ath- Ietic club, announced last night that some of the winners of last nights tournament at the Boys club will be put on fin some of the preliminary bouts. At the time of the announcement, the Boys club tourney had not been staged, so Tommy didn't say just who will fight mt the Birmingham Athletic club tonight. He did announce four of the preliminary bouts, in which members of his boxing class will participate.

MOBILE DOG SHOWS UP WELL IN TRIALS

Montgomery, January 19.-Firs. heats in the derby championship of the
 National Field Trials club meeting
 were completed at Letohatchie this
 morning with the running of five
 brace of dogs, the eliminations for
 stake winners to follow the. compie-
 tion of the second heats in the free
 for-all championship
 Only one brace was sent over the course this afternoon in second heats of the free-for-all event, Becky Broom hill, owned by Louis l.. Haggin of Lexington. Ky, being paired with Eue gene M. Kid owned by G. S. Goodbrad of Mobile. The latter started on q wide tangent to open the heat and flushed a bevy on his first cast and for the first hour had an advantage over the Lexington entry. but in the last hour this difference had been evened and both came in after finding
 about an equal number of birds and
 also very tired.
 One, or probably two more. brace of dogs will be pulled up for the sec ond heats tomorrow by the judges, with Shores Ben. owned by Dr. A. IF. Stone of Bay City. Mich, prominerIy ' mentioned as destined for another op- portunity at the championship.

peared to be in perfect condition Tor the scrap tonight. His manager states that he has had a strenuous time since leaving Birmingham last time he was here and that, as result. he IS trained to the minute and is ready to step into the ring with any of them in his class now.
 Very little is being said by those in charge of Duette Alfred but confi- dence has been expressed by those in terested in him that he will more than hold his own with the New Orleans boy tonight Alfred has been training out at Bessemer. working out daily with Sailor Dixon. lie is said to be in fine shape for the battle tonight.
 Alfred has fought many times in Birmingham and each time he makes an even better showing than at the former appearance. His aggressive clean style of fighting has won for him a bunch of admirers who are sure to turn out in force tonight to witness the battle at the club.
 LOST ONLY ONE BOUT
 Alfred has lost only one fight at the club since he took to the mitt game in serious fashion, and that was to Jack Brady, one of the best light weights that Birmingham ever had. Freddie Boorde was Brady's only con- queror during his stay in Birmingham
 The local scrapper has a mean
 straight punch that is liable to
 end any fight when he slips it
 through his opponents guard. All-
 red also has close style of de-
 fensc that makes hitting him matter requiring real skill and
 ability.
 Donza uses a more open style of fighting than Alfred, depending upon his footworlS to save himself from blows as much as upon his glove guard. This style of fighting does not bother Alfred much. In fact, he stands up very well under it. In his bout with Frank Hanna, year or so ago, he faced a battler who used this style and he always came out on top in these bouts.
 With about 30 rounds of boxing, the club is presenting one of it's best fight programmes of the winter tonight.

 Anybody who keeps up with boxing in New orleans will tell you that Joe Lynch won on a fIuke. Wheth.r he did or not is, of course, only matter of opinion.
 The recent showing of Herman against Jimmy Wilde would certainly indicate that there was something ae- culiar about Herman losing his title to Lynch.

 lost his title. His fight with Wilde

NEEDED NECLECTEDB BY BEST SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-A plea for the establishment by medical col leges of the degree of doctor of pub lie health in addition to that of doc tor of medicine is voiced by Assistant Surgeon General w. T. Sedgwick, of the U. s. public health service in a lecture reprinted by the service.
 Dr. Sedgwick points out the low standards of medical colleges in the seventies. The school terms were only about four months; no examin- ations were held till the end of the second year and then were short and easy. Chemistry and physiology were taught by lectures, without laboratory work. q shall never forget" says Dr. Sedgwick, "my regret that I was born too late, for I gathered from my textbook and teachers that every thing, in physiology was known, and that there was nothing to be discover ed"
 After referring to the marvellous colleges of today, Dr. Sedgwick points out that even the best still neglect the field of the public health Yet today there are 48 state departments of pub lie health, which requires at least 15O experts in public health and sanitary science.
 Dr. Sedgwick urges that the pres ent medical curriculum should be split at the end of the first two years. One should stay as it is, but from it anoth- CT line should branch off which should treat of preventive medicine, vital statistics, sanitary science, laboratory methods in epidemiology, municipal sanitation, preventive hygiene, and so on. "The medical school" he ends that neglects this is sending out it's graduates unprepared for some of the most serious problems they will have to face"
