There are a lot Of pitchers in the

Sometimes "a slow curve, broken

Both Champions Give Their
Views on What Would Take
Place if They Met.
By BILLY EVANS.

Jack Dempsey is the world cham
pion heavy fighter.
Dempsey is 8 feet IL inches
tall. and weighs about 100 pounds
in the best of condition.
Stanislaus Zbyszko is the cham
pion heavyweight wrestler OF the
universe.
Zbyszko is feet . inches tall and
weighs 226 pounds. While he looks
a bit fat at that poundage, he says
it is his best wrestling weight
Jack Dempsey has been lighting
only seven years. Zbyszko has been
wrestling "a years.
What would happen If Dempsey
and Zbyszko were turned loose in
the same ring with no holds or
punches barred?
Who would YOU pick TO win. If
the two champions engaged In "A
rough and tumble battle 10 deter
mine the better man?
Jack Dempsey has always been Of
the opinion that he can defeat any
man that he can hit
Zbyszko is OF the belief that once
he gets one OF his favorite holds on
an opponent, all bets are off
The question was recently put 20
Zbyszko, after he had polished off
his opponent on n transforming
tour that he is now making.
Zbyszko is a very modest chap. and
was rather reluctant to express an
opinion.

"All things being anywhere near
equal the wrestler has a decided
advantage over the fighter in what
you call a rough and tumble fight.

CONFERENCE WITH. SOUTHERN RAILWAY. IN MERIDIAN CASE.
Shippers and Traffic Man ager Will Try to Effect an Amicable Ad-
 iustment

Members of the public service com mission, O. L. Bum, manager of the Birmingham Traffic Bureau and Mur- ray Brown, wholesale merchant, ex- pect to leave for Washington on Monday for conference with the president and vice president of the Southern railway with regard to ef- feet of the interstate commerce commissions decision in the Meridian rate case.
 This decision was that rates charged on shipments from Meridian into Alabama territory within 200 miles from Meridian should not be higher than rates charged in Ala hama from point to point in that ter ritory. The Alabama rates are lower than the rates from Meridian, hence the decision gives the carriers named in the case, the Southern and others, the right to raise the Alabama rates to a level with those from Meridian That would serve to break into the Alabama intrastate rate fabric.
 Object in having the conference with the chief executives of the southern IS LO eIIeCl du dInfCdolC di rangement, through which such rates will be declared as will not seriously disturb the Alabama intrastate rates. After consultation with one another the state commission and traffic hu- reau decided that it was worth while to seek a settlement outside rather than through courts and the Wash ington conference is with that end in view.
 "It does seep that with little spirit of compromise on our part and some on part of the carriers we ought to be able to once and for all settle this Meridian rate case and have done with it without undermining our intrastate rate fabric-" said MT. Bum.
 'The application of the rates pub lished under the decisions in the Meridian case has never been satis- factory either to the carriers or Ala
