 Road Repairs Cause Comment
 The repairs that are being made on the boulevard between Birming- ham and the State Fair grounds has attracted quite little interest in Ensley.
 Goodness knows the road needs this work" said James Dupuy of Ems ley. "It would seem that the officials waited to the last minute to take this work under advisement and although the patches will not be permanent, y II possible to convince the officials that this road is vital to a large number of persons and should be properly and permanently fixed. I am glad to see the Eighth avenue road has been contracted for up to Owenton and I hope it will soon be built on out to Ensley. We will need several such paved roads in short time but as usual I suppose it will be years before the final work is done.'

named head coach of both basketball
and baseball at w. Va. Wesleyan College
for the coming season. Basketball prac-
tIce will start on Monday. January 3. so
that Reeder will reach here on Sunday
afternoon and be ready to take charge
Of the initial workout OF his basketeers
on Monday evening.
Reeder played shorstop on tho Wes-
leyan baseball team in 1917. He had
formerly played with Washington and
jefferson college Ind with different
fast teams in unorgan!zed circles. He
came to Wesleyan az coach OF baseball
IN 1920. turning out splendid nine and
settling the athletes down to work az
ter L year OF somewhat descriptive or
gan!zation. His success was so great
that no was proffered tho position OF
baseball coach for the 1921 season at
tho close Of the 20 season. However II
was not then decided as TO whether or
not Wesleyan would have baseball In 81.
"B!ggy" Reeder's experience on the
basketball court Ia not as e1tentive as
played basketball at both w. & J. and
Wesleyan. and with his fine ability to
handle men, there Is not any doubt here
but what Reeder Is the man for the
position. He has been in conference
with tho Dartmouth and other coaches
this week and II there are any ffne
points which Reeder has not kept up on,
he will have them we'll In hand when Ne
reaches her on Sunday afternoon.
In choosing Rccder for the official
post OF basketball! and baseball tutor
ship, Wesleyan turned down some Of tho
star mentors of the country. Director
r. w. Shumaker had been in touch with
any number OF strong coaches from
most every section in tho United states.

were Courtney OF Lafayette, and Quis'

the fact that no has been tried and has

stars whose work will have TO be recoC-

handicapped in that he will have but

Johnny Kllbane. the king OF the

because OF his vaudeville tour, under

from Abe Attell In a sensational twenty-

could easily defeat the champion in n
lrteen-round go at the garden. Danny
Frush. Andy CLANCY and other good

IN the ring with KtIbane.
Joe Lynch Is tho most recent OF tue
champions, having won the title from

title IN the style OF K!lbane, but was

at least eight or ten pounds on every

match the American boxer made the
desired 1913 pounds. while the English
man scaled a little over los. Wilde
easily won tho docison. landing the
cleaner blows and boxing pretty on the
defense. He will meet Pete Herman,
