F. BOORDE KNOCKS OUT BRADY IN THE. BEST BOUT OF YEAR.
Left Hook to the Solar PIexuS Drops Local Fighter.
 Splendid Card
By BEN GREEN

In probably the fastest and most fu- rious scrap staged at the local club this year, Freddie Boorde, former Magic City favorite, knocked out Jack Brady of this city in the fifth session, left to the solar plexus sending Brady down for the count. More toe-to-toe fighting and punch swapping was exhibited in these four and half rounds than Is usually evi- dent in a full 10-round fight.
 These two lads started the first round without showing any regard for the time honored custom of sparring around for several minutes, but from the opening gong began slugging at each other with vengeance. Brady seemed to have all the best of it for the initial session, landing practically three punches to Boorde's one. One of Jacks most effsc- tive licks was right to the stomach, which slowed up Boorde considerably.
 FREDDIE WILLING
 Boorde refused to let his seconds ran him with towels between the first and second rounds, and came out apparently recovered from the wind-taking Jao. Freddie started the round by rushing Brady about the ring, but before it was half over Brady took the offensive and at the end of the round had his opponent on the ropes, the bell saving him from further punishment. This round also went to Brady by a good margin.
 Brady took his third straight round by a shade this engagement being one of the fiercest ever fought in the local ring. For almost the entire round the two bat tiers stood toe-to-toe and pounded each other heavily. Neigther fighter showed much defense, leaving himself open most of the time. Brady landed several more punches than Boorde and was given shade on this round.
 Round 4 began where No. left off, both men swinging hard and landing often. Brady was rushed to the ropes and appeared to be in a pretty bad con dition, until suddenly he strengthened up and sent Boorde to the mat with a left to the jaw. Freddie immediately climbed to his feet and took the rest of the round, giving him the best of that ses- sion.
 UNEXPECTED END
 The end came about rather unexpected ly in the fifth, when Brady appeared to be- short on wind, with Boorde not much better off It was easily apparent that neither man had enough left to last more than one more round, and after swapping several more jabs Boorde took advantage of Bradys unsteadiness and. when Jack was bending over landed terrific left to the solar plexus which dropped Brady like shot. It was several minutes UelOIS odSh Ac- covered himself enough to get up and 20 from the ring This fight was easily the best that has been staged for sev- eraI months and came up to the expecta- < tions of even the most sanguine hopes of the officials.
 BRADY-LYNCH
 Boorde left last night for Atlanta, V here he has a steady position which allows him time to fight whenever the opportunity arrives. His manager stated last night that efforts were being made to land a fight between Boorde and Champion Joe Lynch in Atlanta some time soon. As Boorde is little heavy. the men will probably meet at catch weights if the plans come through The former local pet still claims Birming- ham as his home town. and the Magic City is we'll represented wherever ne gees.
 PRELIMINARIES
 Although there were only two pre- Jrnfnarjes. they were of unusual high class, being fast and exciting through out. Speedy Newman outpointed "Red' Allen in three rounds by using his left jab very effectively. Allen showed great sticking power by stand- ing up under the terrific pummeling, and many thought he deserved draw Joe Dickey outpointed Frank Chestan In TOUT IdSI IouiiuS' ~ iios Y as if Dickey would easily defeat Ches- tain, but toward the last Chestain was almost on even terms with Dickey.
 HARRINGTON
 It. was announced last night that Dummy Harrington will meet Bat ting Kelly next Monday night at the B. A. C. The ancient feud between this pair will be renewed at this battle, which should be one of the best of the sea son. The last time these two fougnt' Kelly outpointed Harrington in 10 rounds Of fast scrapping. and indications polnt to ,an even better scrap next Monday. !. Both men are great favorites with the loca, fight fans, and prospects for the banner crowd of the year are very promising.
