Enthusiasm for the manly art has increased in leaps and bounds there in the last two years. The trip the American amateur boxers made through the Scandinavian countries a few years ago stirred up consider able interest. Enthusiasm for boxing in Sweden has doubled and trebled since then. The same can be said of the other Scandinavian countries.
 Dick Nelson Honored
 Do you remember Fighting Dick Nelson? He was boxing with consid- erable success during my high school days in Brooklyn. Dick returned to Denmark. and is considered an au- thority on boxing there He is so much thought of that his bust adorns prominent niche in the National Museum in Copenhagen.
 By nature, pnyslque, inclination and everything else they men of the Land of the Midnight Sun are made for the ring. Nowhere in the world will you find finer race physically UHdu tH6 oWeu6S. W ucTcVeT you SO in Sweden you will find great, rough able strength and agility. They have hewn, big -boned giants of remark the strength of the pines in their makeup ald tbe tang of the North wind in their blood
 Keep yoa' eyes on the Swedes, you Americal boxing fans. They are taking to boxing with vengeance, and, eventually, they will outstrip the English and the French. The Swedes have superior physiques and as great, if not greater, inclination for rough, hard, manly sports.
 Sweden probably never will wrest away Americas boxing supremacy, but let me tell you the Yankee glove men are bound to be mighty hard pressed eventually by the swedes."

MISS NEVILLE ID
 REPRESENT GREENE.
Knoxville Girl Chosen Queen for Semi Centennial In
 Spirited Contest

Eutaw. October -tSpecial)- After a spirited contest lasting for several weeks. Miss Mary Frances Neville of Knoxville. has been chosen as queen to represent Greene county at the celebration of Birmingham's s semi-centennial birthday party next week. Greene's queen was chosen by popular vote, each number of the lo. cal paper for the last month having carried a coupon entitIing the holder to a vote for his favorite in the race. Miss Neville, who is the daughter Of Mir. and Mrs. William Neville of Knoxville is gifted and charming young women, and her selection to represent the county is highly pleas- ing to her many friends.
 Insetad of using the $50 raised in Eutaw to provide special decorations for the car in which Greene courty's queen will ride In the grand parade at the celebration of Birmingham's semi-centennial, the local committee on the selection of queen has de- cided to devote the money to what it believes finer purpose than adver- Using and display. and has given 1t to the Children's hospital in Birming ham.
 The change of plans came about as the result of an exchange of mes- sages between Mrs. John Byrd, chair
 tno and MT. Sidney J. Bowie. general chairman of the semi centennial. Act ing under the impression that each county would have to provide for Wednesday raised by subscription $50 for that purpose. On Thursday morning. however. she received . telegram from MT. Bowie to the eff fact that, though individual coun- ties would be allowed to provide sps- cial decorations for the cars of their .queents, it was preferable that the decorating be left to the parade com mittee.
 Desiring to abide by the wishes of Birmingham in the matter, and yet not wanting to trouble the semi-cen- tennial management with refunding the money which had already been sent in, Mrs. Byrd and her commit tee, after having consulted with local contributors to the fund. decided to donate it to the Children's hospital and telegraphed Mir. Bowie to that effect
 Other members, beside Mrs. Byrd, on che local committee were Mrs. J. F. Aldridge, Mrs. Sam Spencer, Mrs. c. M. A. Rogers and Mrs. P. K. Par ham.
