For Good of
 the Community

IF Johnnie had his pie, his soup, his meat, jelly and cake put before him at one handing, he might develop indigestion through gorge of the various capacities brought so suddenly to bear upon the feast
 Given first the food that builds tissues, he is not apt to stuff on pie and forego that which should have preceded. He will grow sturdier for the discernment with which his omniniverous food bent is grati- fled.
 Lord knows, we did not get at once nor have yet gotten all that we have wanted in the way of Warrior river development, extension of shipping facilities at Mobile and the various freight rates that count for rate independence. In the end, they come.
 Best, perhaps, the time spentin the get ting, because it has been and continues to be healthful community exercise. Mur- ray Brown has gathered more than one additional gray hair on his temples since he first stood up in all his height and with all his mental and physical vigor and said Birmingham should have freight differ entials for Warrior river on merchandise from the east brought to Mobile by the Mallory steamship line and other lines in that business.
 Hugh Roberts flashes the news from Washington that.the freight traffic man. ager of the Mallory line has announced the 20 per cent differentials and all that remains is conference between river and Mallory line folk to arrange details be- fore publishing the rates and putting them in vogue.
 This means that Birmingham shippers will soon be receiving merchandise from New York and the interior east via barges plying the Warrior river at 20 per cent under the all-rail rate. It is the ultimate of Warrior river achievement. If Bir- mingham shippers do their part (which the lower freight rate insures) the canal ized Warrior wills be all that has been dreamed

 A MASTER BOXER
 Donza gave an exhibition of box ing last night that has had few equals in the history of the ring game in Birmingham. His foot work was excellent. while his left hand continually jabbed his oppo- nent. the right crossing and land- ing frequently on the face of his opponent.
 But for an exhibition of supreme gameness by Alfred, Donza would surely have scored a knockout. Time and time again the Crescent City rep resentative would land a swift, heavy blow to the jaw, but each time the game little Alfred would stand up like man and come back for more. It was experience and superior knowl- edge that won for Donza last night, and no lack of willingness or gameness on the part of Alfred.
 The first round was compara lively tame, both fighters feeling each other out and content to spar and jab. All- red seemed slightly nervous.
 ALLRED, THE WILDCAT
 In the second round, Alfred jumped from his corner at the sound of the bell and rushed to meet Donxa. In the mitigating that followed, Alfred got in some good blows and rushed Donza 10 his own corner, where he (AIIred) landed several effective blows. The crowd rose and the noise of the shouting and cheering deaf ened the ears to everything else. Donza shook off the pefsistent AL red and cOuntered with a straight right to the month that bgought blood. The two were sIugging toe to toe at the end of the round. The session went to Alfred because of his aggressiveness and early ef- fectivnss.
 In the third round, Donza began working on Allred's left eye, which started swelling Ashton jabbed Duette unmercifully and took the round In this session. a cur was opened on the left side of Allred's head that bied a bit.
 The fourth and fifth rounds went to Donza, who was aggressive through out He continued his jabbing tactics and soon had Allred's left eye in a bad shape.
 ALLRED'S ROUND
 The sixth round went to Alfred. who landed couple of good blows on Don za's mouth. The latter was still talk ing the offensive.
 The seventh and eighth rounds were apout even, with Alfred taking the of- fensive. but missing frequently when he attempted to land telling blow. Donza- slowed up bit, but was more effective than Alfred in punching,
 The ninth round saw Donza ad- vancing to the ring apparently as fresh as ever, while Alfred appeared tired out with his exertions of the previous sessions. Donza was still working on Allred's bad eye, and he brought blood with blows to the mouth
 A FINAL EFFORT In the tenth round, Alfred ap- parentIy made n mighty effort to win the fight. He started after Donza with the tap Of the gong, and forced the fighting through out. His friends rose to their feet and yelled, "knocIx him out, Du- ette,' but it wns too much to ask of the badly battered, but still
