ALLEN HURTS HIS HAND---IS FORCED
 TO CANCEL SCRAP
Magic City Boxer Should Make a Good Match for
 Memphis Shift Expert
By MARVIN srCARTHY

An injured right hand. the one that won the fight with Battling Kelly for him Monday night, will prevent Dixie" Jack Allen from meeting "Shifty' Logan of Memphis, at the B. A. c. next Monday night, In his place, Battling" Kelly will meet the shifty battler of the Tennessee met ropolis.
 Kelly lost very little prestige by his defeat at the hands ot Allen Mon day night. The fight was so very close that up until the final blow had been struck it seemed as if either man stood as good chance of winning as the other.
 Blow For Blow
 Allen was groggy, extremely so, while Kelly was dancing around his foe in search of an opening into which he could shoot his right for a knock out. Allen lunged out and struck Kelly, following this blow up with another, and another. In another second the two were standing toe to toe. slugging in terrific man ner. Aliens right went home be- fore Kelly's and the bout was over.
 As a matter of fact, Kelly will probably make a better opponent for Logan than Allen would, for Kelly has speed where Allen depends upon hitting powers.
 Logan is Clever
 Logan, as everyone who saw the Logan Harrington bout knows, is a mighty clever. fast moving light weight. But his hitting powers are light and his endurance frai1. A lus- ty clout on the jaw means lights out for Logan.
 If Allen and Logan met, Dixie" would probably follow Logan around the ring, taking a perfect rain of speedy, light blows, until he cornered the Memphis battler, and it would be all over.
 Kelly, who is more of a boxer than slugger, will probably box it out with Logan, and the two should stage as pretty a battle of wits and skill as the> Magic City has witnessed in a lang, long time.
 Aliens injured hand will keep him out of the ring at least two weeks. it was stated yesterday.

Too Early Yet


 The time is not ripe to hazard any sort of guess as to just how strong or how weak the Panther outfit will show up this year. All work is in the preliminary stage. Brown ad Gillem are making mental notes of certain things, but are holding judgment in abeyance until better weather arrives to condition their men. Those who survive the hard knocks and the gruelling work must wait several weeks for a verdict from Charlie and Jenks. An off-hand. on-the- surface viewpoint, however, would tend to show that heft in the line will be there aplenty. A number of tried and true huskies are count ed on in the line, and one expert ventured the opinion Tuesday that the Panther line would weigh around 1S0 on the aver age.
 The back field is built on a light-car chassis. Bulk is a minus quantity thus far, and it looks as if the Birmingham lutUlOIS WILL nave to depend on speed, rather than power and heft in the coming campaign.

BULLDOGS IN TRIM FOR THE ALABAMA
 AFFAIR SATURDAY
Afford, Thomas, Lambert and Brindley Are Veteran Lines
 men Showing Up Well
ny HARwELL ALLEN

With the Alabama game only three
 days off, the Howard college Bull
 dogs are rapidly rounding into good
 shape, and from present indication
 are going to send a formidable team
 down to battle with the Crimsons
 Saturday
 As yet, the first team Is still very
 uncertain, owing to the large mum

 who are showing up well, but a
 few positions seem practically filled for the season, unless some mighty
 radical changes take place in the
 next two weeks. One position that looks filled for the season Is left ! eackle. "Boilermaker" Afford, who Is
 captain of the Bulldogs this year, Is the man who is sure to play this position. that is provided he doesn't get hurt Afford is back with the
 same old pep" and punch that has
 always made him one of the best
 men on the Howard line.
 Thomas In shape Another man of last years team NAtO 10 iOOhitlS SoVu tiA1 SCdi 10
 Fatty Thomas, who alternates be-
 tween guard and tackle. Despite the fact that he has the worries of a managership upon him this year,
 Thomas carcass Is still as chubby as | ever. and with his old time pnnch he is going to make it hard upon
 backs who think fat boys are easy to get by. Jumbo Lambert, last years guard, is also showing up well
 in the scrimmages this year, and though his weight is the same as last season. he has increased his speed and driving power. With these two Improvements, Lambert should
 be one of the mainstays of the line. Brindley Is still performing at cen
 ter for the Bulldogs, which means
 that Howard Is going to have one of the hardest fighting pivot men in
 captivity this season.
 Situation At Ends There is terrible argument go- ing on over the wing positions, but Messrs. Stubbs. Shores, Suddith and
 shelton seem to be having the best of the argument at present. Just
 which two of the men will start the Saturdays game Is uncertain, but
 any of them play well enough to
 keep Bulldog rooters from losing
 sleep over the matter.
 In the backfield, Gaylord, White
 head Lackey and Clarke are looking
 good in the scrimmages so far, but there are lots of other men out who will give these men some keen com | petition before the season gets much | older.
 Some of the new men who look | good on the line are: James Jackson, | Saxon and Little Jumbo" Lambert. The local team will be stronger this year than last, but even at that | the chances of holding the Crimson | seem remote, and the most optimistic
 Howard supporters is only hoping for tight game.

Hns Funny Build

Meeghan was cheated by Ma Nature. In other words, his physique is not ideal for pug. He's rather squatty, has little short legs and arms of the ab- breviated type. This gives almost every opponent who goes against him an advantage in reach. What Meeghan lacks in build and reach, however, he makes up for in spirit. He's a fighting Irish man, who likes a fight. He's willing to fight anywhere at any time, for anything. And that's what makes him popular with the fans. Stanley has good chance to win a home in Bir- mingham. If he displays the stamina l think he will, the bugs will get to see him in number of walloping contests before the first of the year arrives.

 MeeRhan Vs. stribIing
 There are those in town who think that Young Striblfng's sun will set along the pugilistic hori- zon when he meets Stanley Meeshan at the Athletic club. Stan got in from Atlanta the other day. and just to show his willingness to fight he hoped in Atlanta. Later l saw him fight gave away IS pounds and earned a draw. with McGinty.
 Meeghan Is a freak style of scrapper. but he's a fighter all the way through. I saw him fight his way out of a soldier camp in Atlanta Later I saw him fifht his way into the hearts of At lantans. Having cleaned up the feathers around the Gate City, he hopped out for Charleston and other parts. l don't know how active Meeghan has been of late, but I do know at one time in Att fanta he was feared by all the feathers in the state of Georgia.
 He rocked Freddy Boorde to sleep up In Nashville one night with an old sockdolager. He might apply the same narcotic to Stribling if they meet here. And then again, Stribling may con tract another sore thumb or something. Two postponements of late have left Strips former local admirers in the doubtful class.
