Wilson Meeting Jack
 Sharkey Here Tonight
Memphian to Have Advantage of Claude in Height, Weight and Reach, Comparison Of Two Boys Shows
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Young Claude Wilson has had his fling at almost every type of ring battling now, from the slugging af- fairs to the light, fantastic toe type of battling. Tonight, however, he tion, that of entering the ring against a youth only couple of years his senior, but many inches the taller man.
 Claude is meeting Young Jack Sharkey of Memphis, in a 1o-round decision bout at the B. A. c. tonight, "Tennessee Stringbean" are true, Wilson will need the assistance of the hook and ladder department to- night.
 Out to Amend
 Claude Is entering the ring tonight a determined boy, determined to rs- gain the prestige he thinks he lost In his Labor Day battle with Tom ODowd of Atlanta. Wilson took that defeat to heart. and is vowing ven- geance on O'Dowd and all Dixie fly weights and bantamweights in gem eral.
 Railbirds probably think none the less of Claude for that defeat over in Atlanta, but they are glad to see his ire aroused. Wilson has lots of natural ability, and if the old ambish holds out, fans are predicting q bril- liant ring career for the local lad. .
 Young Jack Sharkey Is sure to have 1t on Claude in height and reach tonight, Dame Rumor can scarcely miss his height by six or seven inches, and that's how much smaller than six feet Wilson Is. Sharkey's reach will probably be a couple of inches greater than Will sons tonight also, and Claude will be at disadvantage If the two youngsters stick to long range work.
 Wilson Outweighed
 Articles for the fight call for Shar- key to weigh in at not over 11s pounds tonight and he probably will not weigh In over an ounce less, so Wilson will have to concede about five inches in his scrap with the Memphian tonight.
 Sharkey is coming to Birmingham with nice ring record to his credit. He Is credited with draw with Bobby Hughes. the Shreveport f1asn, considered one of the cleverest ring men in Dixie today. In addition, he best men in southern rings. He also has lost a decision bout to Tim O'Dowd, the Atlanta sensation.
 Tonight's athletic show at the Bir- mingham Athletic club will consist or two wrestling bouts. between some of Birmingham's foremost matmen, followed by an exhibition card of boxing.
 Dave Evans and Morris Finefeid will probably referee tonight's box ing and wrestling bouts The first preliminary will begin at S:s0 o'clock.

FISH RETAINING PONDS

the 10000 easterns put in there las,

being almost five inches long. Many

with Rainb0ws from the Pitkin hatch
cry and fed during the winter.
What We need however, is about a
dozen more retaining ponds like these

might hope TO keep up with the de-
mands made upon our streams BY
the tourist public, which focks here
yearly IN increasing numbers. Fish
ing has been good this summer, but
il cannot stand the strain Of the
future unless al least 4 million young

these must b. trout, not an inch long,

the streams are above the irrigation
