The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-08-20

tractive one.
 Someone once said that an Irish man likes to fight regardless of time, place or conditions. Everyone knows that Herring and Avera are Iris hmen, and, in the past not only have shown a desire to fight, but also ability to carry out their de- sires.
 Everyone knows what Herring and Avera have done in the past. They remember clearly, no doubt, that Larry Avera scored an impressive Victory over Sailor Blanque of New Orleans in his last appearance In Birmingham They no doubt recollect that Blanque didn't hi ta solid blow during the whole encounter, and that Larry Avera was as hard to keep up with as Presidents in Mexico. Come-Back for Red
 It has been quite a while since Red Herring fought at the B. A. C.. He staged blood-curdling battle with Patsy McMahon of Indianapo- lis in the local aroma several months ago. but his appearances at the B A. c. since then have been confined to referee work and seconding.
 Herring has not been idle, how ever. as he has fought several bouts in Louisiana, Arkansas Georgia and Kentucky, billing himself as out of Birmingham. Red has had unusual ly good luck recently, knocking sew eral opponents as cold as ice cream in winter.
 Red states that he intends making his bout with Avera one to be re- membered, by railbird and Larry himself. The two leather pushers have met three times before, Red scoring one knockout, and getting draws in the other two bouts.
 Meet at Cstc----.~-.'-
 Herring and Avera are meeting at catchweights. so will tip the beam at anywhere between the 1855 and 140-pound marks. Red has been working rather hard during the past week or 10 days, and will probably be down to his best fighting weigh 135 or 136 pounds.
 Red Herring has more in view than tomorrow nights bout with Ayera On Labor Day he meets young Striblins, southern weiterweight champion, in decision bout at Ma con, Ga It's Reds fondest hope that ne can slip one over on the Macon lad. and cop Dixie welterweight ti-
 NotA0i iAlhctll. oaYS Herring.
 It is not so much that I want to win that title of Stribling's. for it really doesn't mean much, but I want 10 give the Georgia Peach such pruning that there'll be nothing left put the peeling, and thatll be dried up
 Laying for Strfb.
 Young Stribling has cruised along quite far enough I believe, and nothing would tickle me more than to maui Pa Stribling's baby around a bit''
 Red Herring can be counted upon not to be careless in any bout be- tween now and the Stribling fracas, Tor he wants to be at his best, physI- cally and morally, when he meets the young champ, and a defeat would certainly not help his morals any.
 Young Moses Ready
 Railbirds are watching another local ringman on Monday nights card, and that is Marshall Moses, the yeungster who has staged two fights at the B. A. c. Moses, in his debut scored an easy win over a big fel- low in three rounds. and everything was looking fine In his second scrap. With Big Boy" Edwards, of the Boys club, however. he met a setback, and everything had to be done over az eain.
 Young Moses decided that the trouble was in his footwork, or rather there was too much footwork So he retired for awhile, started studying the game closer, and is now Lack for another shot at the game. Needless to say, his opponent Monday night is none other than his erst- While conqueror. Big Boy" Edwards.
 Moses has been training daily, both In road work and boxing. with Red Herring. and has cut out some of his footwork and adding a little more punch and steam in it's place. The progress of Moses will no doubt be watched with interest as this young ster seems to have more than the or dinary amount of promise for young heavyweight.
 Tommy Tompkins. B. A. C. match maker. has not returned from a week on Warrior river camp, but is ex- pected to get in today and will an- nounce the complete card for tomor- row nights show
