DUPONT ENGAGES LEADING GERMAN
 CHEMISTS, REPORT

Berlin, September 3.-The Tage- blatt states on the authority of Dr. Beckman, of the chemical and phar- maceutical association, that the DuPont company of Wilmington, Del, has engaged a number of leading chemists of the big Fiber field dye works. at large salaries with view, MT. Beckham alleges of appropriating the secret process of German dye manufacture.
 This asserts the newspaper, is only one instance of many attempts by foreign firms to induce German employees to betray chemical and pharmaceutical secrets.
 The whole question arose out of the Tageblatt's inquiry into the truth of allegations said to have been made by foreign medical Jour nals that German medicaments for consumption abroad have been de- liberately adulterated for the pur- pose of damaging the health of .or- mer enemies. These allegations, ac- cording to the paper, are entirely unfounded, but it admits that eight cases were discovered of inocuos adulteration of pharmaceutical rro- ducts, which it says were due to the manipulation of illicit traders,

ing full use of his hands, and will be in shape for. fight before tl.e end of the week, he stated yesterday. Consequently, in looking around for a suitable opponent for John Me- Ginty, the Pratt City Irishman. Tommy Tompkins picked out Allen to meet the big husky in an S-round semi final bout next week.
 McGinty has shown lots of im- provement since his bout with Fred die Boorde, and has really developed into a mighty good battler. If he makes any kind of a showing against Allen, he will prove that he has really made good. Jack Is a mighty hard man to fight and if McGinty can stand up to him, he will prove his ability as ringman.
 The preliminary card has not been arranged yet, but Tommy Tompkins states that a. couple of good bouts will be arranged.
 Garcia will arrive in Birmingham to finish off training for his bout with Stribling sometime this week.

Featherweights to Meet in a Ten-Rounder at the Athletic
 Club on Monday, Sept. 12

With Young Stribling, the Macon boy, who holds the southern feather weight championship, and Frank Garcia, crack featherweight battler from the Pacific coast, billed to meet in the 10-round final bout, Bir- mingham fandom is looking forward to another one of those really good boxing cards which have been in order at the Athletic club lately. The Stribling- Garcia bout comes off here on the night of Monday, Septem- Der 12.
 For the first time in a long, long time, Birmingham Is getting a gen. uine championship affair. Young Stribling not only holds the southern featherweight championship, but he also is the proud possessor of a belt emblematic of the title, which was awarded him by an Atlanta promoter when he defeated Freddie Boorde in their bout to decide the champions ship.
 Title to He at Stake
 Stribling's title will be at stake when he meets Garcia, and the Pa cific coast lad has an opportunity to make himself solid with Birmingham fands by at least holding the Macon champ to & draw. Garcia is said to be not only a clever boxer, but also a fairly hard hitter, and should pos- sess enough dynamite in his paws to slow Stribling up if he should connect properly.
 A champion is always favorite and Stribling Is no exception to the rule. When he meets the Pacific coast lad the Macon scrapper will probably rule favorite to win, but that doesn't impair Garcia's chances of victory any.
 Tommy Tompkins stated yesterday that Gargia will hereafter make his home in Birmingham, so his fight at the B. A. c. on the night of Mou- day, September 12, will in realty be his bow before his future home town fans.
 Garcia Meets Moore
 Garcia mees Pal Moore of Memphis in a Hereunder at Memphis tomor- row night, and his showing against the little Memphian can be accepted as a fairly reliable indication of what can be expected of him when he meets Stribling here next week.
 Stribling has fought here and has many friends among local fans.
