PREDICT GREAT
ACTIVITY In
MOTORING

Every week this spring will be ''set
the country week for motorists, say
officials of the Automobile Club OF
Southern California.
Unusual activity is scheduled fol
April, May and June in touring circles
throughout the southern part of the
state, it is reported with the greatest
influx of motoring visitors ever re
corded.
Impetus is given the touring move
ment out here by the plans for a huge
caravan to move across the country tt
the realty convention on the coast, a:
well as several large parties of tourist:
coming across the continent by motor
en- masse.
Touring parties of from twenty tt
thirty ears, moving as. q single body
across the transcontinental highways
Just as the pioneers did in 40. is be
coming common sight, says the Auto
club touring bureau.
1t is a revival Of the days of 40 il
de luxe manner. Where at one time
it took year to cross the prairies tC
California by pack train and prairie
schooner. motor caravans are now max
ing the trip in twenty days without
the hardships suffered by the earl,
pioneers.
Public camp grounds along the way
with all modern conveniences have beer
put at the disposal of the westward
moving trains of motor cars, which
helps to make the trip o, delight. De
spite erroneous rumors set adrift in th'
east that the tour to California is bese'
with hardships, motorists are trekkine
to the coast in numbers greater thar
ever before, reports the club.
In Southern California counties tho
touring fever seems TO have struck
thousands of ear owners at once, and
with the coming Of April. the spring
touring season is on full force. Hail
spring tours!

LOOKOUT OWNER BUYS PROPERTY FOR 'NOOGA CLUB
Andrews Field Now Belongs to Strang NiCklin's Chatta-
 nooga Franchise

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Dec. 27.- Special l)-Doubt as to the status and location of Chattanoogas baseball franchise was removed today, when President Strang Nicklin announced that he had purchased the Andrews field property from it's former owners and would rebuild the plant at once.
 Nicklin was able to finance the deal by means of s4.000 in insurance which he carried on the old stand, although he did not own 1t. and by a s4,000 loan from the Cleveland he Is now closely associated. The full price of the deal was not given.
 The Andrews field property was jnurchased by a holding corporation, consisting chiefly of o. B. Andrews aand z. C. Patten, Jr., when Chatta- nooga entered the Southern league in 1910, and the old grandstand was erected for the league club, the park being named for O. E. Andrews.
 When the franchise was sold to new company in 1917. the old owners retained ownership of the park and they still kept the park when the club was bought by Fred H. Can ,trell in 1918, and when Strang Nick lin secured control in 1919. Nicklin turned down an offer for the fran chise from Montgomery last Oc- tober and says that he has had overtures made him from Knox Vile and Macon during the last few days. but that, so long a s he can swing the financial problems of the club, 1t is in Chattanooga to stay.

Just18, StribLing Is a
 Middleweighf Contender

who has won a decision from Strib. "W. L." holds verdict over Budd, their other meetings have resulted in draws.
 As evidence of Stribs clean sports manship in the ring is cited the fact that he never has lost on foul; nor has he won on a foul, although on
 numerous occasions he has been
 fouLed but refused to accept the ver- diet, ,insisting on fighting to the fin
 ish.
 Today Strib's fighting weight is
 156 pounds. Twenty-one months ago, January IT, 1921-the boy weighed
 117 pounds. The beauty of his de-
 velopmeIrt has been that his speed
 has kept pace with his rapid gain
 in weight. Pa" Stribling attributes
 this to the fact that Strib has fought
 regularly since he first took up the game.
 When strib Started Strib entered the fcatherweight class on April 5, 1921, against Bat ting Mishound. He won tho Dixie
 feather title from Freddie Bords on August 15 of the same year. Facing Fearless Ferns on Septem- Der 2f 1921, "W. L." made his debut
 as lightweight. Three months later-December 2s. Strib's seven teenth birthday-Battling Budd was Stribs first opponent after the Geor- gia Peach entered the welterweight division.
 A coincidence Is that Strib's first fight In each of the bantam, feather. light and welterweight divisions was held in Atlanta.
 On October 14 of this year Young Wallace was knocked out in tho tenth round in Strib's fight as mid- dleweight.
 Strips first 1ight-heavy opponent will be-but this hasn't been decided yet. Marty Burke of New Orleans,
 some say, will fight "W. L." before the end of next summer.
