 Bnrnett . Conner
 The young Atlantian. Battling Bar nett, who meets Tenner in the main boxing event. is considered one of the most promising young feather weights In Dixie. He has recently defeated Lew Eilvers, also a Gate City athlete. in a bout for runner up honors to the Atlanta feather- weight championship. and that in- cluded all the young scrappers in that class except the mighty Tim O'Dowd, the champ.
 Here are results of a few of Bar nett's more important fights: Got a draw with Larry Avera; won from Battling Kelly; won from Freddie Boorde: drew with Battling Budd. won from Lew Slvers; stepped Cy Young in three rounds; stopped Rab- bit Palmer in three roundsi stopped Soldier wainright in two rounds; lost to Earl Poyner.
 Barnett. who Is . stcckily built little chap with a steamy wa1lop, Is considered enc of the most formidable featherweights in Dixie, and should prove a worthy foeman for Lukie Tenner.
