serving under Major Lucien Brown, in Birmingham.
 He told me Tuesday that he practiced daily for six-month period for the big Camp Perry event, and took such steady grind in preparation, that he was confident from the beginning that he could beat the best shots that Uncle Sam could trot forth He went about his training like a pugilist trains for a hard ring battle. His work was not con fined to shooting alone. He took tedious and strenuous eXer- cises to build up his nerves, his vision and his body for the acid test And, his training was not in vain, for Sergeant Hunt canIe back to town a champion of champions,
 Fought Against Handicap
 He had to fight against a han dicap, too, for Hunt is not as stal wart or as powerful of build as so per cent of the army and navy men who competed against him. And, power does, or should count, for it takes q great deal of phy- sical strength to lift, shoot and take the recoil of those powerful army rifles. Despite the fact that nature had plotted against him. while designing his general ar chitectural build, however, Hunt has never for moment let that prove a drawback.
 He's clean-cut, clear eyed little fellow of rather fragile build. But he ga2es into Your eye with a frankness that he must give a target, while out on the range. He's out of trah.S-fg now, for the big test is over, but after he relaxes a bit from the long grind of preparation, he will get back on the game for the next big shoot. He's going to keep that championship for quite a spell, now that he has it.
 Good stunt Possible.
 With T. K. Lee as the champion indoor rifleman, and Sergt. K. E. Hunt as the peer of outdoor rifle attractions, and both Birmingham men, it would be quite stunt 1T a contest between the two could be arranged for big purse. That is, of course, if any method could be determined as to scoring. Say. let Hunt meet Lee in several in- door matches. The latter would be new to the indoor game. Then let Lee meet Hunt in several outdoor matches, where Lee would be equally as unfamiliar with targets and weapons used Strike a happy medium in the scoring of each event, and then determine as to who stands out as the greatest all-round rifle shot
 Such an affair would draw huge amount of interest as well as, around over the country at large.

Little FeatherWeight Meets StribIing'S Waterloo in a

Stanley Meighan, the little feather weight from Atlanta who has been making Birmingham his home the past two weeks, will get his chance to prove his ability asa boxer Mon day night when he meets Fear less Ferns in a ten-round bout at the R. A. c,
 When Meighan first made his ap- pearance in a local ring, fandom was skeptical as to his ability True, Stan was touted as conner, and some thing of his past record was known, but his squatty built his short arms anF stumpy legs would hardly cause one to pick him as above the ordi- nary as a fighter. However, it took only one fight to convince local fans that Meighan Is really good ring man. In his first scrap, Meighan held John McGinty to a draw, and the big Irishman had about 20 pounds in weight, several inches in height, and at least an inch in reach on Meighan.
 Last Monday night Stan went out d knocked out Taylor, navy feather weight, and local fans were further convinced as to his ability.
 Meighan has had a couple of years experience as a fighter. He holds knockout victory over Freddie Boorde, one of the best lightweights

SENATORS
SEE NEED
FOR PLAN
Fear Landlords Will Take Ad-
vantage After Expiration Of
Act In May Next.

The Ball rent act probably will be
extended In the early part Of the
ceming year If the plans Of certain
Senators are carried out. 1t was
learned today.
Senator Ball, chairman of the Dis
trict Committee. will not re.ntroduce
the bill, but other Senators have
reached an understanding that 1t
will be pressed on the floor Of the
Senate under other auspices.
Senator Ball would not be quoted
on this subject today, but it was
ascertained from other sources that
plans have now been practically
completed to bring the Ball act to
vance OF Its expiration on May %,
1921.
= Senator Balls position is under.
stood to be this:
At the time the re-extension of the
Ball act was under consideration by
the District committees last fall, the
chairman Of the committee was able
to obtain a unanimous report from
the District committee only on con-
dition that the act would not be ex.
tended for more than seven monhs.
This was not Senator Balls original
plan for the extension. and he &C.
cepted 1t more or less under protest.
He also stated at that time that he
felt he had done his duty In Oh
tanning the extension for the seven
month period and that he would not
press II again.
1t was on this basis that the act
was re-enacted by Congress.
There are a number of other sell
ators, among them Senator Pom.
creme, who have held informal con-
ferences on the rent situation in this
city. and they are convinced that
the Ball act will have to be extend
ed once more. These senators have
conferred with Mr.. Ball. and 1t is
understood have told him they IRE
entirely willing to take the burden
Of bringing the act once more to
the attention Of Congress
1t IL declared that there Is strong
feeling in Congress today that rents
In Washington will be doubled, and in
some cases tripled, IL the Ball Act
should be permitted to expire in May.
They are taking into consideration
the fact that the present session OF
Congress probably will adjourn early
in June and will bring the matter be-
fore the Senate long in advance Of
that period.
