By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Birmingham fans who attended last Monday nights fight entertainment a. the Athletic club are no doubt still batting themselves on the back for their foresight in doing so, for that bill was undoubtedly one of the best ever pulled off at the B. A. c. To- nlght, so B. A. C. officials claim q hsht card every bit as good as last weeks has been scheduled, and they are looking for one of the season S best crowds to attend the show. In the headline bout, the veteran Eddie Hanlon will meet Young Leon ard, aggressive young challenger from the Crescent City of the south Hanlon, veteran attempting a comeback in the squared arena, will be pitted against youth, stamina and aggressiveness. but the old timer himself has the two last named qual- ities which go to make up a good scrapper, and the bout will be far fl om uneven
 Young Leonard comes to Birming- ham today with the reputation of de- feating some of the south's best well terweights such as Blanque Young Wallace and a couple other Dixie stars.
 Hanlon has not fought in almost three months, but in his last engage ment he proved that he still has many good licks in his system when he defeated Larry Avera of Atlanta in 10 rounds.
 The Hanlon- Leonard bout should be a good one, for in it two men possessing both speed and hitting ability will be ptted against each other.
 Hanlon is probably the harder hit ter of the two, but it cannot be said that Leonard is a better boxer than Hanlon. It would not be surprising if Han1on rules slight favorite when the two men enter the ring to- right.
 The fans like to see Hanlon box and the veteran scrapper always draws & good crowd to his matches.
 Harrington vs. Landis
 Dummy Harrington is taking on really big fellow in Billy Landis to- night Landis, who halls from Omaha, weighs close on to ITO pounds, and sheer weight alone should enable him to hold hls own with the Birmingham slugger.
 Harrington, however, possesses powerful wallop that has force |
 enough behind it to stop almost any man on whom it lands solidly. Lan- dis must avoid this punch or his weight will stand him in poor stead tonight.
 It has often been said that fast, hard hitting welterweight can fight rings around 8 middleweight. We'll. Harrington is going up against man somewhat larger than middle weight tonight. and the Dummy must be at his best to come off on the big end of the affair. Brady Meets MarIow
 Jack Brady will get another crack at the Boorde family tonight, for he is meeting Johnny Marlow of Atlanta in a four-round bout. Marlow is first cousin of Freddy Boorde, and Brady will probably bear this fact in mind when he squares off with the Atlanta scrapper tonight Marlow, like his cousin, Boorde, is hard puncher and has lots of gameness. He will weigh slightly more than Brady but the Bessemer fIash's speed should offset that ad- vantage of Marlow's. The Boorde- Brady scraps of old used to be classics. and the Brady Marlow bout tonight should be just like them.

Pirates Are Only Two and a Half Games Ahead of the Giants

New York, August 2S.-The Major league pennant races ap- proach the September stretch with the Pittsburg National league lead CTS wavering badly as New York increases it's speed, while the Cleve- land and New York Americans continue their neck and neck pace.
 The Pirates are two and one halt games ahead of the Giants and ths Indians increased their lead to ons and one half games by winning to- day, while the Yankees lost. The two St. Louis teams are playing splendid ball, but have only math- ematical chance of reaching the top. /The spectacular feat of the New York Nationals in cutting down Pittsburg's lead by winning five straight contests from the Pirates, was surpassed by St. Louis in taking six straight games from Boston and decreasing the Braves advantage over them for third place to almost one game. With his pitching staff rounding into good form, Manager McGraw of New York Is confident of overcoming Pittsburg's lead, all though the Pirates will play most of their remaining games at home. In the five game series, the Giants out scored the league leaders 27 runs Lo 5, and outbatted them, 45 hits to 22. Each team made two errors.
 Boston batt1ed well in it's series with St Louis and the fight for third place with it's consequent share in the worlds series prize money should be an interesting one. The Braves have let up in their batting, but ths pitchers are showing improvement. The Cardinals have won eight consc- cutive games and play Philadelphia and Pittsburg this week. The Quak- CTS had their first winning week since May Brooklyn will find 1t difficult to get back into the first division as the Superbasf pitchers are being hit hard. Chicago and Cincinnati are batting well but lack consistent pitching.
 In the American league, Manager Speaker of Cleveland is jockeyins with his pitchers to good effect. Only three runs a game were aVef- aged off the Indians pitchers last week Bagby was called upon tor relief duty three times. Sotheron was the only Indian twirler to go the full distance last week. New York seems to have recovered it's stride again and promises to keep close to the champions.
 The Washington moundsmen are ineffective and the heavy batting of OIlRHt 10 carry them into third place. Ths Boston and Detroit pitchers are not doing very we'll although both clubs had winning balance last week. Chicago and Philadelphia also lack pitching strength.

Sewanee Football
 Prospects Are Good

Sewanee, Tenn, August 2S.-(Sre- cial.) )-Four letter men of last years football team are lost to the Tigers this year. They are Elam, who was 8 tackle; Harold Council, who per formed at end; Tommie Harper, halt back and captain of the 1919 teara, and Jim Smith of Birmingham, who alternated at fullback with Kenneth Council.
 The first string men who are cx- pected back are Captain Conway. who will play end; Skidmore and Litton, tackles; Satterlee and StoneN. guards; Stivers, center; Jimmie Baird, quarterback; Coughlan and Long, halfbacks, and Kenneth Coun- cil fullback.
 A Strong Nucleus
 On the face of it, the Tigers will have a good beginning. and strong nucleus around which to build a fighting machine. Nine men who for one reason or another were un- able to be reckoned as first string men last year, will be on the Noun tain when the term opens. Among them are Miller and Oakes, both sea- soned as ends after years practice with the Tigers Kent and Shook. tackles; Prude, guard; Lindamoad, Ben Payne and Powers. halfbacks. and LeGrand Guerry, tackle and full back.
 No information is as yet obtain- able as to what new men will come to try for the Tiger machine. There are rumors around the offices of the university that number of real football players will matriculate when the university opens on Sep tember 13, and if these rumors bs even in part true, some of those who may think they have a position nailed down. will have another think coming to them when the first gamo Is played with Cumberland univer- sity pn October 1.
 Attends Coaching School
 Head Coach Nicholson has spent the greater part of the summer in Chicago attending a football school. number of good points to try out this season.
 The only announcement as to as- sistant coaches is that Jim Perry, who played on the Tiger team in 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917. and who has been at South Carolina for a year as assistant coach, will be with the Tigers in the capacity of line coach. Perry was a stumbling block in the Tiger line for every team against which he played. Much Is expected from his ability to instill in the linemen the necessity of stat ing quickly and fiercely.
 Following the general plan decided upon last spring. what amounts to the alumni system of coaching will be instituted this fall. with John P Nicholson. for a number of years track coach and physical director in the university, as head coach of all athletics.
