Bout Promises to Be Best Ever
Fought Here With Newton
Slated to Win.
BY HARWELL ALLEN

The fight between Johnny Newton
of Mansfield, o., and Dummy Bar
rington, the local middleweight,
which comes off at the B. A. C. Mon
day night, promises to be the best
scrap that the club has ever put on
and one of the niftiest middlewe ght
battles of the south.
For the first time in many months
it looks like the odds are against the
Birmingham battler, as his opponent
is being brought from the north.
where he has been fighting the top
mothers of the middle weight di-
vision.
NEWTON HAS GREAT RECORD
tivities to just fighting the good boys,
but he has gone step farther and
has beaten most of them.
One of his most notable victories
was his knockout win over Battling
Bill Bailey of Atlanta, who is rated
as the best middleweight in the south,
aside from Happy Lttleton. In knock
ing Bailey out, Newton accomplished
a feat which very few fighters have
been able to accomplish. Birming-
ham fans saw Bailey fight here once
with Sailor Dixon, and every one who
saw him was very favorably i'm
pressed
Another good boy whom Newton has
beaten over the decision route is
Hope Mullen. Mullen confines his
ring activities strictly to the north
@ld east, and has beaten some of the
best men up there. Newton beat this
boy over the 15-round decision
route.
Other Vivtims
Johnny Shea, Freddie Block and
Clyde McHenry are some of the many
others the Mansfield slugger has con-
quered. Every one of these batters is
not just ham and eggers," but all of
them are high-class battlers of the
middlweight division.
Newton is coming to birmingham

Dummy Darlington Meets
Newton Here Monday Night

with the expectation of hanging the
scalp of another good boy to his belt
by defeating Barrington., but he is
coming cooked and primed for the
best bout of his career.
HARRINGTON WORKING HARD
Darlington may loose the fracas to
the northern invader, but If he does
Ii Is cinch that the Mansfield boy is
going to realize that a good battle
took place before he was able to cop
the honors of the match.
One thing that Dummy can stand
with any of Them no matter how good
they are, is the giving and taking OF
hard wallops. Darlington has been
hit some hard ticks in his day, but he
has never yet succumbed to the
Knockout punch. He has also been in
some rough and tumble affairs, and
has always emerged from the fracas
with nothing but a few rough places
about his dome. Dummy can hit as
hard as any middlweight in the south
and he should be able to show Mr..
Newton a few things about Earring
houses down before many of the 10
rounds have passed away.
Dummy's Defense
OF late Dummy" has been practic-
ing more with his defensive and has
been trying to get up speed. He has
succeeded in doing both of these
things. He is now faster than he
ever was and it is getting to be a
hard problem to solve to land a good
clean punch on the local boys jaw.
The dope points in Newton's favor
on accoutn of him having fought 81
fights with only five of them defeats.
but just the same it should be a
great scrap. Darlington has lost be-
fore. but he has never consented to
do 1t peacefully, and he says that he
Is going to do a nice lot of arguing
before he loses this bout. He does
not expect to lose.
A good preliminary program
will start the fistic festival, and the
prgram should be one of the best that
the B. A. C. has ever put out. At any
rate. the main bout by itself will be
worth seeing, and large crowd has
already reserved seats. Interest is
high in the fight all right, and both
men are going to do their best to win
the little fracas.

BIC FIRE LOSS AT
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA
Three Finest Business Struc-
lures Destroyed and Others
Badly Damaged

Augusta, Ca, November zo.-l nree
of this citys finest business struc-
lures are in ruins. three others were
entirely quilted and several more
buildings were badly damaged by the
fire which early today threatened
several blocks of the principal bust
ness district. The total damage has
been estimated at from s1.500,0o0 to
$4,000, 500, but local business men and
underwriters think 1t will not reach
the former figure.
The structures destroyed were the
johnson and Harrison buildings and
the Albion hotel, in the 700 block of
Broad street, and three buildings in
the 400 block of Jackson street, two
squares from the scene of the origl-
nal blaze were entirely Quilted. The
Genesta hotel is among the buildings
badly damaged. The plant of the Au-
gusta Chronicle, one of the oldest
newspapers in the United States.
which was in the Harrison building,
is thought to be a total loss.
Police and hotel clerks were busy
tonight checking up the lists of the
guests at the Albion and Genesta
hotels and up to late hour none
had been reported missing. Two
firemen suffered minor injuries.
The origin of the. fires are not
known. The first fire was discovered
In the Johnson building shortly after
1880 o'clock and. famed by stiff
breeze, soon spread to adjoining
structures. The Harrison building
was soon enveloped, and within about
ten minutes the Albion hotel was in
flames. At the sounding of the first
alarm, however, guests at the hotel
were aroused and rushed into the
street with the few personal belong
ings they could gather. All. officials
think, escaped uninjured.
At this time another alarm was
sounded for the fire in the 400 block
of Jackson street and so fast were
the flames of the Broad street fire
spreading that Fire Chief Frank g,
Reynolds telephoned for assistance
from Aiken. Waynesboro, Macon, Sa-
vannah, Charleston, Columbia and
Atlanta. The Aiken fire department
responded within the hour and short
y afterward help arrived from
Waynesboro.
The flames had spread to the &C.
iesta hotel by this time and the fire
men from Aiken were put to work on
his blaze. They were able to con-
inc the blaze in this block, across
he street from the Harrison and
ohnson buildings. to the Genesta
iotel. Meantime. the local firemen
rcceeded in checking the spread OF
he original blaze and shortly before
O'Clock had it under control 1t

NAVY SUPPORTERS ARE
HILARIOUS OVER GAME

Annapolis, November 26.-Navy's
triumph over Army in the annual
football struggle today, was received
with wild enthusiasm among local
fans who stayed at home largely be-
cause they were unable to get coveted
admission cards, and by people of the
town generally. The result puts Navy
one game in the lead, the Middies'
victory last year having mad &c Sc
ries even at IL each and on game
resulted in a tie.
The Middies will suffer the heaviest
losses in years by graduation next
June, as six members of the team be-
long to the first class.
The coaching staff will, therefore,
have their work we'll cut out for
them in building a machine for the
1929 campaign. Those who will grad
uate are: Captain Larsen, center;
Frawley, right guard; King and
Wiedern, tackles, and Cruise and
Koehler, backs.

deal of comment among the golf

Navy had its first chance of the gains
to display its heralded offensive
strength which enabled 1t to go
through the season with only one
defeat. After 10 plays which earned
first down four times and included
20-yard run by Barchet, 1t had the
ball 22-yards from the Army goal as
the first period ended, only to lose
it on downs shortly after the start
of the second quarter Two forward
passes in Nays own territory were
grounded during this attack and the
Navy stuck mostly thereafter to
straight football, involving tackle
plays from tandem and a deceptive
criss cross.
On the kickoff after the Navv,s
touchdown Marehet ran the ball back
AZ yards to midfield. Five more nlavs
including 15-yard run by Conroy
andfone OF nine yards by Koehlr. nut
the ball on the Army's 2o-yard line.
Three plays made no progress ana
an attempt at placement goal ended
in loss of the slippery ball on a
tumble. :
illustrative of the midfeid STALE
mate IN the third period was the fact
that the Navy had the ball in enemy
territory only twice, one advance to
the Afmy's 45-yard line that included
l5-yard end run by Barchet. which
was nulltfied by penalty for hold
ing, and ON another occasion the Navy
lost the ball on tumble at the
Army's 4S-yard line. The Army did
not have the ball within the Navy's
45-Yard line until a poor Navy punt
gave it the ball Al yards from the
Navy's goal as the period ended. The
chance to profit thereby was lost by
an Army tumble as the fourth pc
Rod began.
Bardhets made one smash of IA
yards in the last quarter, but the
Army's defense was stiffened by sub
stitutes. The Navy got beyond the
Army 40-yard line in this quarter
but the Army did not reach a similar
position in Navy territory until the
sensational end-game threat to score.
The Navy earned first down IS
