By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Several things happened at the Bir- mingham Athletic clubs first enter tainment last night Most prominent among the happenings was Dixie Jack Aliens victory over Sailor Blanque of New Orleans, Referee Jack Parry awarding the local boy the de- cision when he disqualified Blanque in the eighth round for fouling.
 By his rough tactics, Blanque lost an excellent opportunity to win last nights main go at the B. A. C., for he was leading the local scrapper on points when the grand blow-off came. After getting off to a slow star, Allen taking the lead from the start, Blanque.rallied after the fourth roun1 and. forcing the fighting, evened mat ters up and was about to cinch vic~ tory when Referee Parry, who had warned the Crescent City boxer sev- eral times. motioned Blanque to his corner and raised Aliens hand in token of victory.
 The FouIing
 According to Referee Jack Parry, the particular blow for which Blanque was disqualified was an elbow smash to the jaw. It was said that the sailor was holding AlIen back of the neck and working in an elbow blow when releasing the nape projections of Dixie" Jack. In addition, Parry had
 
 of the rabbit punch. The Crescent City boxer was using a mighty rough style of battling, which, although fur nishing lots of action, also placed Blanque in danger of disqualification, his ultimate fate, as it was.
 Allen shows up Well
 Another interesting happening last night was Aliens great showing in his debut before locak ring fans. The Pacific coast boy exhibited loads of stuff. though, of course, it was ev- ident that he needs a few weeks more under the careful training of Tommy Tompkins before he can hope to take on some of the real top notchers in the south.
 As it was Allen was meeting one of the best that Dixie can produce along lightweight lines in Sailor Blanque, and the way that Dixie" Jack stood up to his heavier opponent brought yells of delight from local bugs. Allen didn't cut aloose with much more than right smash, but several of these blows which found very apparently chuck full of steam.
 "Dixie" Jack is Fast
 Allen Is undoubtedly one of the speediest boxers seen in Birmingham in long time. His defense seems to rely mainly on his ability to evade his opponents blows, and Aliens speedy footwork last night enable him to duck, sidestep and slide back from many of Blanques speediest smashes If Allen can develop a straight glove block defensive as well as his footwork, he should be one Of the most evasive boxers in Dixie.
 Dixie" Jack made favorable inn pression last night He was stacked up against a veritable piston action fiQhtipO m n a ic one of the hardest hitting and fastest boxers below the Mason Dixon line, and he likes to scrap. too--but he was apparently undaunted and didn't seem disconnected bit by Blanques short arm punches, any one of which seemed steamy enough to make any ordinary man. winch.
 Allen seems to have future before him in the ring. for he appears to have all the qualifications of fighter. It's certainly a pity that his victory over Blanque last night had to come wa the foul route, but. at that, Aliens showing was anything but disappoint- ing.
 Chestian Adds Another Scalp Frank Chestain, B. A.. C.'s amateur star, scored his third straight knock out victory last night when he floored Albert Rose of New Orleans two times in the second round and twice more in the third, whan Roses seconds tossed in the towel to save their man from further punishment.
 Chcstain shows more stuff each time he fights at the B. A. c. Frank is no spring chicken at the boxing game, but he is youthful enough to pack punch sufficient to floor the majority of hls younger opponents. Chestaine has knocked out Eddie Woods. Bill Nance and Albert Rose on consecutive fight nights at the B. A. c.
 Rose displayed some speedy work. but he was too light to stand up against the hard hitting Chestain.
