Both BattIers Are Confident of Winning After Putting In Two Weeks of Hard Train ing for the Scrap
BY MAXWELL ALLEN

When Battling Kelly meets Dixia Allen in 8 return fistic engagement tonight, the scrap should be a roof- litter. and ought to be the most thrilling engagement ever staged at the B. A. C. In their last meeting Dixie knocked Kelly out In the sixth round, after five stanzas of the toughest bit of battling seen here up to that time. Kelly has no aiibi for the last fight. but says he is the best man, and that he will demon strate 1t when he crawls through the ropes tonight.
 On the other hand, Dixie Allen con- tends that the best man won the last battle, and predicts he will win again this time. which IS quite probable as he proved himself capable of ab- sorbing all that Kelly could give last time without falling. On top of this, Dixie demonstrated that he packs a terrible haymaker in his old right rnitt, and that little thing like be- ing hammered on a while doesn't in- jure hls punch,
 The night that Kelly lost to Dixie he asked for a return battle, and from that time on he has been train ing hard and will answer the bell in better shape than he has been ia sometime. In his last two bouts Kelly has not been as good in using his left hook as he has been in some fights, but he has been practicing this punch lot of late, and when

As 1t now stands Louisville has four vic tories to it's credit with the Orioles chalking up three. For three innings tho afternoons contest was a close one after which Louisville punched hits and bases on balls off of Thomas for quintet Of markers. From this point on the Coonels looked like easy winners until thc tnter- national league champions came To the bat and knocked Wright out of the box and putting five runs to their credit Cullop was trotted to the hill and dis posed of Bentley with a man on third Manager Mccarthy changed in thc next round when Manager Dunn switched his lineup, and Tincup, who won yesterdays g game, finished without any further trouble,
 The hitting was of the solid variety throughout and home runs by EaEen and Of doubles to his credit. The big moment for Louisville came in the third round when Thomas walked Meyer filling the bases to take 8 chance on Pitcher Wright, who promptly doubled to right field and cleared the cushions.

JACK DEMPSEY SEEMS A BIT LOATH
 ABOUT MEETING WILLARD AGAIN

there would be no one in the offing who looks better than Willard. Not even in the white hope days has the supply of white heavyweight cham pion material been so poor. Perhaps the fact that Dempsey stands head and shoulders above the pack makes the rest look worse than they are.
 No Foe for Jack
 Anyway. as the situation stands, there looks to be a wide margin be- tween the champion and the other men in his class. Bill Brennan, Wei nert, Fred Fulton. Billy Miske, Bob Martin, Captain Roper and all the rest are second or third class at best. Some day mentality sharp will ex- anime Fulton and see what is the matter with him. Of all the fighters named he has more of the stuff that goes to make up q real contender and yet he isn't contender and never will be.
 Harry Wills stands first among the negroes of course, even though ola Sam Mcvey bluffed him out of 3 match. But few believe his color would remain as dark as it is after he had been in the ring for round or two with Dempsey. Harry certain ly doesn't get much credit for ms one-round knockout of old Gunooat Smith in Cuba the other day

Batting Kelly Will Try to
 Stop Allen Tonight to
 Redeem Himself for Defeat

Allen runs into 1t tonight there prob ably will be moro than the accus- toned drive behind it.
 Kelly has been training hard enough, but has certainly not out done Allen one bit in this depart ment Every morning he has taken long trot and has followed this up with a strenuous workout in the evening. He has worked for speed by boxing with boys smaller and lighter than he is and has worked for endurance by letting punch art
 sts bigger than he is bank away at him. With all of these things Allen should certainly go through the ropes tonight with more stuff than he has ever shown Birmingham fans and his opponents before.
 To size the two men up with each other it might be well to state in just what ways one has the advan- tage on the other. To begin at the weight and reach, both battlers will weigh in at about 1SS, and their reaches are about the same, so they are evenly matched physically. When it comes to speed Kelly has Allen shaded by a nice margin, as he can step two or thu ee steps faster than Dixie can travel. There is no doubt but that Dixie has the most etiec- tive wallop, as this was demonstrated in their last bout. .. With everything else being about equal, it remains that the man with the most endur- ance will win, and if Q great change has not taken place since the last scrap, Allen should have the best end of the endurance bargain.
 Aside from the main bout, which promises to be better and harder than any fight ever waged around here, there are going to be some gcod prelims. With all of these fea- lures fans who go to the fistic cere- monies should certainly get a good eve full

NStRyAh&htf A0%is Dy AAc A8r-hIcAhAu.y
 New York, October 15.-Tex Rick ard and local boxing fans generally are wondering just what Is Jack Dempsey's state of mind regarding ghe proposed bout with Jess Willard next summer. Willard has promised to meet Dempsey. says he will start to train months ahead and will fin- ish off his conditioning in some locali- ty near New York, where the experts can look him over and see for them selves what shape he Is in. But Jack Dempsey has given Rickard no as- surance that he will fight Willard.
 Jack Kearns, his manager. was asked a long time ago to step into i. Richards office and put his name on Van agreement, but no Jack mas ap- peared and the last thing Dempsey will talk about Is a Willard fight. Privately, however, 1t may be said that the champion is not stuck on this encounter. He has no doubt that he can beat the Kansan. just as convincingly as he did at Toledo, but it takes a lot of walioping to put such a big fellow down, even if his years are advanced. Jack doesn't want to commit manslaughter.
 He Has a Kind Heart
 As . matter of fact, he is not a vicious fighter and takes no such pleasure as Kid Mccoy and even Jim Corbett used to take in cutting an opponent up. Dempsey is quick knockout fighter and likes his battles 10 end cleanly. But, of course,~if no other good rival offers, he will take Willard, since he Is a champion who likes to ply his trade.
 Here is the whole thing in a nut shell: If he were to sign now he would be tied up to the Willard bout for nearly year and thus would be in no position to take on such good match, for instance, as might arose out of the prospective Gibbons-C Car pentier fight. For, if Gibbons should dispose of Carpenter. there is not the slightest doubt that a bout between him and Dempsey would be fine drawing card.

BESSEMER -ENSLEY TILT AT RICKWOOD PARK ON FRIDAY
Tigers and Yellow Jackets to Meet In Annual hf-
 fair This Week
RA PAIL CONWAY

The EnStey Yellow Jackets are locking forward to their battle with the Bessemer Purple Tigers, to be staged at Rickwood field here, Fri day afternoon. with the keenest an ticipation. Strong rivalry has ex- isted between these two teams for the past decade and the game has all the aspects of being thriller.
 Not only reinforced by the pre- vious victories of this season, the Yellow Jackets are receiving the whole hearted support of the Ensleg fans. fact which Is attested by the large following of the team. It is said by local sport prophets that the Yellow Jackets machine this year will outclass any previous eleven placed upon the grdiron by this school
 As fqr the Bessemer Tigers, many have said that this team vii cop the prep school pennant this year. All the games 50 far that this aggregation has played have been merely prac- tice games and as yet their "mettle { has not been tested, The Tigers are a husky lot, however, and more aggressive team could not have been chosen to meet the Ensley, Yellow Jackets.
 This will mark the fifth week of the Jackets training, and during this time they have absorbed goos CT work given thSm by the coach, Jack Hoyater. To say who would start the game for Ensley would be merely guess, as Coach Hovater has a large number of men to draw from. tIn the backfield nearly every man can double in case of necessity and acquit himself with creditable per formance The aerial work of the eleven would be hard to beat by any prep school. It is thought that the team will rely upon its aerial ability in the coming game with the Tigers to offset the Tigers heavy line.
 The following men will very likely enter the game for the Yellow Jack cts Williams, center; R. Fayette, right guard Anderson. left guard; English. right tackle; Captain Fay cite, left tackle; Mendenhall. right end: z. Walker, left end; Hassler, quarterback; Scokel. right half: Vow ell, left half: Manly. fullback.

BOXING NOTES
By MAXWELL ALLEN

On october 2s, Birmingham will see what some of the largest cities in the south very seldom have, when five 10-round bouts will be staged at Redwood all in the same afternoon, and every bout q real headliner.
 Although all the bouts seem very evenly balanced, the Avera Blanque affair seems now to be the real head liner of the day. Both boys are evenly matched in every respect and are thoroughly familiar and experienced in the art of self defense. They should furnish the real thrill of the day.
 A great deal of interest locally has already developed In the Allen-Shifty Logan scrap. Fans ar every curious to see how Logan will stack up against a heavy hitter like Allen when in condition. If Logan is really in shape on that day he should have it fairly easy with Allen. But if Allen connects with one of those pile driv- ing haymakers of his, it will be cur tains for Shifty.
 A crowd of between e.O00 and 1000 fans are looked for at these bouts on Friday, October 2S, and if the day sis d. happen to be warm, it is tho ht almost certain that 10000 fans will be in attendance.

This team was defeated by Carrollton High the pre- vious week and with honors evenly divided the deciding game will be played some time in the near future,
 The basketball team journeyed over to Gordo, where they met the fast team of the high school at that place. and while they were defeated in their first contest of the season by score of 20 to Q, their ability for putting up a strong fight will be taken seriously and they are ex~ pected to make a strong showing be- fore the season closes.
