Lad Who Gave Stribbling WaIIoping Meets Freddie Boorde in B. A. c. Ring To- morrow Night-Saab Ste- Vens in Semi-FinaIS
By MAC


 Freddie Boorde is again in town renewing old acquaintances and again looking forward to a main fight at the Birmingham Athletic club. Freddie blew in Friday morn- ing and has been a conspicuous per- son around the Birmingham Athletic club and his old haunts. Boorde meets Fearless Ferns of Atlanta, in a 10-round boxing bout at the Bir- mihgham Athletic club tomorrow night.
 The youngest-veteran has fallen as naturally into his old habits as when he lived here and had the Birming- ham Athletic club his headquarters. In those days. though. Freddie was a walking man. Now he rides in style and comfort, and here should come the well known and highly con- venient question mark, for Freddie pushes "cut down" runabout of an- cient vintage.
 old, Old Scenery
 Beorde and Ferns will not meet for the first time Monday night, in fact, they will be just shifting the time and the place. The scenery is old and of long standing, for these two boys have staged several interest ing battles in Georgia rings. It will be another of those now famous pair fngs, "Science vs. Strength" and as usual, odds seem about even.
 Freddie never was noted as a slug ger, but he can probably hit 'em as hard now as ever. He is too young to have slowed down any. and ring experience is never forgotten Boorde ought to be as good as he ever was when he enters the ring against Fearless Ferns tomorrow night.
 F'Nns, who claims Atlanta as his headcNarters, and is another of that long line of Walk Miller protegees, is also in town, scouting around and winding up training for the Boorde fight Walk Miller always keeps his boys in condition, and Ferns came over from the Atlanta stable in ex- cellent shape for his fight with Boorde tomorrow night.
 Freddie Boorde Is as well known to local fans as boils to Job, and anything said about Freddie's ability as ringman would be uncalled for. Ferns A New One Here
 Fearless Ferns is making his first appearance in a Birmingham ring Monday night, and those fans who like to see new faces will have the opportunity of witnessing one of Dixie's most aggressive little batt1ers in action when Ferns meets Boorde.
 The greatest feat attributed to the Atlantan was a draw with Young Stribling. the Macon Musketeer. Newspaper accounts of that Ferns Strlbling bout gave Ferns all the best of it, and those who read in between the lines came to the con elusion that the Fearless one must have given -Stribling a terrible lacing.
 E .sIf Boorde can fight Ferns off with oall his speed and science at his com mand, then he stands & chance of winning over the Atlantan. If Ferns lands right. then 1t may be lights out" for Freddie.
 saab Meets Stevens
 Bogie Saab, who sprang into public favor by dealing out walloping to Young Battling Kelly last Monday night, will meet an opponent worthy of his steel tomorrow night, when he and Danny Stevens clash in a six round bout semifinal to the main affair.
 Stevens is the same little ringman who used to put up such gerat scraps against Claude Wilson and who, In his last time out, gave Steve Sarron good walloping. Stevens is hard hitter, and action is always the key word when he Is announced as a prin- cipal in fight.
