WHISKY AND AUTO

Approximately sixty-six gallons OF
whisky, a seized Studebaker roadster

nection with the seizure of the
whisky resulted from the activities
of the city purity squad and county

c. l.. Smith and Charles Johnson,

Hubbard. Riley and Helton about 10
o'clock last night, while, it is al
legged, they were transporting 40 gall
Ions of whisky in the car. The Off
GERS said that the automobile was so
constructed as to allow the seat in
the vehicle to be removed, and in its
place several cans of whisky could
be hauled. The rear end of the car
was also especially constructed for
the transporting OF whisky, accord
ing to Detective Hubbard.
Joe Defernagago was arrested by
county officers following a raid on
his southside store, where, II IS

found and confiscated, and Manuel
Fontana fell to like misfortune at

this afternoon on Hardee field to

annual Armistice Day game with the
visitors furnishing plenty of thrills.
Birmingham Southern opened the
game with a rush when Griffin,
Panther back, took Sanders kickoff
on his own 5-yaro line and raced back
to the middle of the field, but for
the fact that the little half lost his
balance and fell, the score would have
been different for he had clear
fiel before him.
The first quarter was scoreless

edge in rushing. the ball, Griffin and

A little over a year ago, young
Timothy ODowd, then not yet

through the prep school of box

only a fighter of mediocre abil-
ity, and seemed doomed to remain
a prep school battler.
Old timers, who always keep
a watchful eve on the prelimi-
nary class, merely shook their
heads when questioned as to the
future ahead of the mediocre
young Mr.. O'Dowd. Hell never
do it was asserted. He's
afraid OF a knockout. and the
lad'll never have spunk enough
to be battler" And that seemed
to settle 1t, for Jimmie didn't

he has not been knocked out
since that one time, has never

What might have been a disaster

The sudden reversal of form
by O'Dowd little over year

recorded in the "Pugilistic
