Perhaps the most interesting thing
about meteorites is that their makeup
IS much like that OF the planet on
which we dwell This Is not mere
theory: we know 10 TO be a fact, be
cause we have opportunity OF studying
the substances brought up from he
bowels OF the earth by volcanoes
Great quantities OF iron are belched
up by volcanoes. with fused masses OF
basaltic rocks. and the iron contains
nickel
A great majority OF all fallen
stars" are composed mainly Of stony
material. It IS the same sort Of stony
stuff that makes up our volcanic rocks.
This is usually smashed to bits or
striking the ground; or. II not. IT soon
disintegrates. Thus il happens that
the meteorites preserved in museums
are mostly iron ones. But the stony
ones always contain more or less iron,
and some OF them are part iron and
part rock.

Anniston. September 19.-- -(Special) Camp Mcclellan was an easy victor over the mixed team from Albert vile, Jacksonville and Piedmont on the camp field Sunday afternoon, the score being II to at the end of loosely played game of innings.
 Beasley, former short stop and third sacker for Piedmont, went to the firing pit for the visitors, and Jared badly at the hands of the camp willow wielders from the start. He redeemed himself in the fifth in ming by lacing out one of the longest four base hits ever seen on the local diamond.

Then Kelly tore in again Allen began swapping blow for blow with the battler, and when to the audience it looked as if single blow must floor either man, Allen shot out short right and Kelly fell to the mat, gasping for breath.
 Second by second referee Biscoe Seals tolled off the fatal ten while Allen crouched panting in his own corner, waiting to fly at his foe if the latter should arise before the final count.

IL was Aliens round easily.
 Kelly FIoored For Nine
 After q spirited exhnage of blows in the third round Allen landing several telling blows to the body, Allen measured Kelly with right to the jaw, and Birmingham fandom saw something entirely unexpected, Kelly stretching his length upon the mat, and Referee Biscoe Seals count ing above him. With an effort, Kelly arose at nine, and crossed his right to Aliens jaw just as the gong rang. Aliens round.
 Allen continued his hard slugging In the fourth, and Kelly kept the fighting at long range. Both men were cautious, but Kelly landed his right a couple of times. The round was even.
 Allen rallied and landed five good blows toward the last, of the fifth round. and shaded Kelly in this ses- sion. There was little of the hard punching which featured the earlier rounds, but both men were fighting hard.
 The Fatal Sixth
 In the sixth Kelly came from his corner with the intention of giving Allen a good beating, and he pro ceeded to do so in approved fash ion. The battler used his famous "corkscrew'' left for clean hits time after -time. and Allen was groggy by the middle of the round. Allen swayed and staggered, and sheer de- termination Kept him up. There was pause. and the end came quickly. as described above.
