They asked the Athletic club for new faces, and to accomodate the fans Tommy Tompkins. ct al, went out and obtained a whole menagerie, all bound up in one bundle of activity. The fact that Dummy Harrington knocked Shifty Logan of Memphis cold in five rounds did not consti- -tute the feature of last nights fight card at the B. A. c. Far from 1t, for the Memphis boy, though going down in defeat, furnished the local audience more genuine laughs and more real amusement than has been served up at B. A. C., entertain ment in long time.
 After witnessing Logan in action, local fans found no trouble what ever in discovering just why the Memphis boy is nicknamed "shifty." Logan has more ways of moving sbout and of puzzling his opponent than any fighter appearing here within the memory of the oldest veteran fan of the Magic City.
 After ~one of the best preliminary cards of tho season, Logan and Bar rington entered the ring, and the fans settled back to enjoy 8 real fight. It took only q second or two after the first gong to drive home the startling fact that there was to be little nap ping on the part of the fans.
 Hard to Deciphcr
 Logan started things off by cross- tng his eyes in most approved Ben Turpin style. While Dummy was ap parently marveling at this feat of cptomstrics, Logan began leaping about in . manner best described as resembling kangaroo.

The Memphis boy took the count of eis 1t, but was on his feet and at Bar ringion in an instant after Referee 4siscee Seals had finished counting. That knock down won the round for Burlington.
 ksegan As continued Shis antics and e0e facial expressions through three rounds more, and outpointed the local scrapper. But in the fifth he ap- ps ently tired of his extreme foot osk, and stood up with Harrington. Dummy slashed a series of wicked rights and lefts to the body, follow sa by couple of socks to the chin, And Logan went down for the count.
 Allen K. O.'s Simpson
 Dixie Allen landed 8 eterrific righi swing to the point. of Sailor Simn- sons jaw along towards the close { of the fourth round of their semi final bout, and the Pensacola scrap. per dropped as if shot, his head strik ing the floor with terrible force. The gong rang before Biscoe Seals coult count two, and the sailor was dragged to his corner. There was no doupi whatever as to whether Simpson would be able to answer the gonl beginning the fifth. for that glazed set expression of the eyes, that sag ging jaw and sucking breath oom'
