BOYS CLUB QUINT
 DEFEATSDORA." ."5''

The Dora High school team was rather late in arriving in the Magic City last night. and the contest scheduled for 7:3U with the Boys club was postponed till 9 o'clock. The late hour, however. did not appear to have any effect on the Boys club. as they administered a IS to 4 wallopjpg to the visitors. The Doraites contendf dfhatotwo or three of their regu- lar playe{ id not make the trip, but the ClubbefgY1id not mind such details.
 The playing of R. Harbor, who, by the way. is the same lad who performed the sticking plaster act with 'Ace'' Anderson when Central played Dora, was the only thing that held down the score. He stuck with Lother, star forward for the locals, and allowed him only two easy shots. Both of these were made only be- cause the referee insisted that he could not be interfered with when trying for a foul goal. Hubby Adams was the offensive star of the occasion. He scored of his teams IS points. Adair was the best scorer for the visitors with their quartet of tallies to his credit. Saab played good game at guard. The lineup follows:
 : Boys Club q6-Lother @ and Nelson (D, forwards; Vincent @ center; Adams (S) and Saab. guards.
 Dora High (4)--Adair (4l and Thomp- son, forwards; R. Harbor, center; J. Harbor and Bryson, guards.

MUNGER TO BUILD CINDER TRACK FOR ATHLETIC EVENTS
Engineers Survey In 0Wenton Bowl and Work Starts
 Immediately
By HENRA- VANCE

Birmingham has been without . real cinder track for athletic events for a long time. The Magic City is to have one now. This track will be built by R. $. Munger on Munger field at Owenton and will be presented to Birmingham South ern college, to be used for athletic events of that school and for other track events brought to Birmingham. There is noth- ing vague about the new project. Engi- neers have staked off the course, cinders and clay are being hauled and work cn the new track will be started imme- diately.
 The course is to be s9o feet in length, which will make 1-3 laps to the mile. It is to be 24 feet in width. which will give athletes eight lane in hurdle events and the like. The track will be modern in every respect, and will fill something that has been needed for long while in Birmingham. The home stretch will be in front of the stands with 1oo-yard straightaway at the finish.
 It will be completed in time for the spring athletic meet to be staged by the Birmingham Athletic club, and Coach Hutsell of the E. A. c. has been actively engaged in helping Coach Charlie Brown, Ed Norton and others speed up the work
 Ed Norton, in commenting on the track Thursday, said Tt will be in D shape This was done to avoid the necessity cE. excavating from the bank to the east bank of the bowl. While it is not quite as large as had been hoped for. it will fill the requirements, and by virtue or the work of the engineers interest in track athletics at the college has al- ready been boosted considerably and they are preparing to send an entry to the meet in Illinois,"
 Coach Hutsell is a happy man. He be- lieves the new track will make for al widespread interest in track work in this district. 'All that has been holding us back is place to show said Mir Hut sell. "The old track in East park Is too small, has almost been erased from view by time, and was really no place to stage meets. The only other available place was the fair grounds, which was minus cinders. This made it impossible to have competition on that trraek in rainy weather"

Central Boxers Win Two of Three Bouts
 From Ensley Boys
By BEN GREEN

The first of series of intersectlonAi boxing matches which will be staged be- tween the R. o. T. c. units of the Gen. tral and Ensley High schools was held yesterday in the Central gymnasium. The card was not wholly of the interschool va riety. however. there being only three of this kind. two being won by Crimson and White supporters and the other one by Gold and Black advocate. The other two matches were challenge affairs be- tween local lads in the Central bat talion.
 The main feature of the afternoon was the exhibition of George Harwell of the Avenue + institution, he being the vic- tor in two separate and distinct encoun- ters with duo of fighters from the E. H s. district. These two bouts were both in period of less than 45 minutes. and one of his opponents had at least lb pounds advantage over Harwell. The other bout which brought out the great rivalry between these two prep seats Of learning. was won by Earl Jackson of the Ensley delegation over William Ford of the Central contingent.
 The other three fights being only be- tween local boys, the great partisanship was not in evidence. but they were mlgnty lively nevertheless. Warrick Saun- ders and Charles Shook could not decide winner, the bout being called draw after four rounds of scrapping. Ludwig Smith defeated Thomas Kent in fight which was rumored to be over lady's hand. but the facts can not be obtained as both fighters are disinclined to voice their sentiments.
 All the scraps were of the four-round variety except the last. which 'iron Man Harwell of Central won over Hugh Smith of Ensley. Smith had the Cen tralite outweighed about 15 pounds. but lacked the finish and science of his op- ponent. The other victory for Harweii was a four-round affair with Elden Crrmp from the western metropolis. IL was clearly Harwelrs fight from the tap of the first bell, but the Ensieyite stood lot of punishment and showed plenty OF courage although he was always get ting the worst of it.
 The next entertainment of this kind will be held in the Ensley High school audi torium two weeks from yesterday. The admission to the contests yesterday was Is centimes per. ''dome.' the proceeds going to the fund for the promotion or athletics in the military department. A lar ge crowd attended the entertainment. and it was altogether 2 success.

 By MARVIN MCCARTHY
 Perhaps it was because the young ster is so small that Big John" Peters, who has made a name for himself as one of the best catchers the Southern league has produced in several sea sons, brought Charles (Lefty) Meeker for a try-out under Boss Molesworths s supervision Lefty" is certainly a midget in comparison to his "big brother" and the attachment between the giant Peters and diminutive Meek CT was one of the interesting side lights on the Barons' fight for fame and pennant last year.
 Peters brought Meeker from
 Kansas City for spring training
 last season and, while he didn't
 show anything startling fin the
 curve nnd speed line, little Meeker
 displayed gameness to spare and
 promise of developing into a sec-
 ond Dick Kerr.
 It might have been these facts that persuaded Moley to hang onto Meeker until along towards the middle of May when the youngster was finally farmed out, being shipped to Spartan burg, s. G. in the South Atlantic league. It must be admitted that up until that time Lefty" Meeker had shown very little to cause Moley to keep him on the roster of the Barons.
 GETS ANOTHER CHANGE
 Later on in the season--early in July, to be exact-Meeker was recalled by Moley for another trial with the Barons. Frank Herbst had been going badly, and Meeker had been making good with Spartanburg. so Herbst was turned back to Pittsburg and Lefty
