RIVAL SCRAPPERS
MEET FOR THIRD
TIME AT THE CLUB
Frank Chestain and Eddie
Woods Meet In the
Semi-Windup

Ten rounds of scrapping by Dummy
Darlington, a six-round go by Frank
Chestain and Bill Nance, plus two
three-round duettes by George Harwell
and Claude Wilson and Red Allen and
Carl Arnold, constitute what promises
to be the best fight programme ever
dished out to the fistic fans of Biz
mingham.
The fight between Darlington and
Kelly. which is the headliner, and the
one around which all of the interest
lies, will probably be more furious than
a Darlington Kelly mill ever has BEEN
Darlington is at present in the best
shape that he has been in for many
moon, and that is not sayingsa small
amount. either, for when he fought
Larry Avera he looked so good that
every one thought it impossible for a
man to be in better condition physically.
Right now he weighs less than he has
weighed since entering the ranks Of
professional "puggery" For instance,
in his last fight with Kelly, Dummy
weighed 1854 pounds, while in his fight
with Avera he tipped the old beam at
$50, but now he weighs only 146 and is
nothing but nice stack of bone, mus
Gle and fighting spirit with the spirit
outweighing all of his other assets.
KELLY is READY
Kelly himself has not been just mere
ly killing time in gym while waiting
for time to get in the ring with Mr..
Dummy, but on the other paw he has
been spending just gobs of time in the
gym and on the road, and is Just about
in as near perfect condition as he will
ever be.
The outcome of the mill is by no
means certain, but the dope seems to
point in Barrington's favor a little for
several reasons. Among the biggest of
these reasons is that Dummy has ac-
CURED little more speed than he used
to possess. Heretofore Kelly has al
ways been able to go in and dance
rings around Darlington, one advantage
that he has used twice to KEEP from be-
ing knocked out, and another time to
outpoint the Dummy with Now the
speed seems about equal on both sides,
for in the past weeks Darlington has
been trying to collect a little speed to
go along with the smashing wallop he
possesses. 1t seems that his efforts
have been rewarded, for he is certainly
getting to be a whirlwind on his pins
CHESTAIN-WOODS
In the semiwind-up. Chestain takes
on Eddie Woods for a sextette OF
rounds, and as both of these boys spe-
cialize on punches in large and numer-
Gus doses, the fight should be a hum
mer while it lasts, for with the wallop
packed by both of these gentlemen il
does seem as though the fight will GO
six rounds.
The other attractions are two three
round affairs, George Harwell VS.
Claude Wilson and Carl Arnold VS.. Red
Allen. Both of these affairs are grudge
battles, and from that point alone
should be worth seeing.
| AS an additional feature to all thai
has gone before, it might be stated thai
Jack Parry will referee, while Car
Landgrebe and George Walters will ac
as judges at the main scrap.

In order to encourage tourists to
visit the National Capital and to
make their stay here as pleasant as
possible. Col. Sheriff.. engineer Of
ficer in charge of public buildings
and grounds, is improving the tour
lists camp installed this year in

The system being installed is the
laying out OF 1000 single lots ample

occupants of one car. the lots being
marked by trees on the corners. The
buildings formerly in this space
were occupied during the war by
the SiXty-third Infantry under the

WARS ON SPEEDERS
Overlooking Also Decried
In Plea for Law En-
fOrcement.

Believing that a very large num-
ber of accidents are caused bv over
speeding OF motor cars and motor
trucks, coupled with the overload
ing Of the latter, the n. A. c. c. is
calling upon police officials of the
country for a more strict enforce
ment OF the traffic laws, of which
there are a sufficient number on the
books, but the provisions of which
have been too generally disregarded.
Reports show that over-Ioadinr Of
trucks of all sizes have in some
cases harmed the roads, and in
other cases have overcome even the
powerful brake equipment resulting
In accidents that could have been
avoided.
While it is true that the speed
craze has long since died out. there
are still many who travel at ex-
cessive rates. who disregard the
rights of others on the highways
and who fail to take proper pre-
cautions at the intersections of
roads and railroads.
The y. A. c. c. believes that n
two-ton truck carrying four tons is
more dangerous on the highways
than a tive-ton truck with its nor
NAL load of five tons. 1t endorses
the Pennsylvania law which requires
each truck TO bear n lettering show
ing It's weight. the body weight, and
the weight OF the load which IL
should carry. The chamber opposes
truck bodies of abnormal size and
advocates loads which will conform
with the recommendations of auto
mobile and highway engineers for
one-inch width of tire for each 500
pounds of weight
