nave lCkeu any WOTlu buN the records show he has met some mighty good men. and experience and certain amount of ability are bound to come his way. even if only by as sooiation with these truly greats or ringdom.
 Claude Starting Out
 With Claude Wilson. it is different Here Is youth standing on the threshold of manhood, his way yet to be made. Years later he himself may have tales to recount of battles fought and possibly won with the best the great ring game has to offer in his division. But tonight, he will be merely a young boxer. almost un- known out of his own home town.
 It ought to be an interesting af- fair. this meeting of the grizzled old veteran of many ring battles, and the ambitious youngster seeking name an, fortune in the ring game. Mucn might depend on the outcome of the bout.
 Lavigne will probably weigh in only an ounce or two under the weight limit of 11S pounds, but Claude Wilson will be several pounds lighter than that.
 Curbstone speculation seems to make Lavigne favorite. as he ought to be, everything taken into consid- eration. Claude Wilson has met un- expected success in his previous bouts at the B. A. C., but the young ringman, as we'll as his handlers and boosters, are not expecting anything like an easy time tonight.
 Keith vs. Kelly
 Battling Kelly. who meets Phil Keith in the semi-final bout tonight, has wound up a period of earnest frafntne aV,lx hia night but also for bouts that will follow soon after. The Battler is booked up for scraps at Nashville and Atlanta, and states that he is really staging a comeback campaign, and expects to give the fans his best to- night.
 Keith and Kelly will weigh in around 145 pounds tonight. They will fight six rounds in the semi final bout.
 Wrestling Bouts, Too
 In addition to the main boxing bout, the semi-final and curtain raisers, a couplt of wrestling bouts are on tap for tonight. The mat bouts will be staged under the latest regulations tonight, that Is. by rounds. Ten minutes of wrestling will be followed by rest period, etc.
 In the main wrestling event, Tom Lacey, the Y. NJ. c. A. shark, will meet Homer Smiles. the B. A. C.s best light-heavyweight amateur mat man, in an eight-round bout.
 Claude Hendricks and Bill Martin, B. A. C. rivals, will make another attempt to settle the long disputed question as to which Is the better grappler.
 The first bout tonight will begin at s:30 o'clock. Dave Evans, popular Boys club director. will probably referee the main fights tonight.

By Associated Press

Alameda, Cal, July y.-SWimming in the Neptune Beach tank here this afternoon, Johnny Weissmuller of the Illinois Athletic club, worlds swim ming champion, smased two more worlds records.
 He clipped Duke Kahanamoku's time for the 100 meters free style, negotiating the distance in 5S 3-5 sec- onds. Kahanamoku's record WIS one minute and one-fifth second. Weiss muller also swam the 75-yard back stroke in 49 4-5 seconds, lowering the 50 2-5 seconds records for the dis tance held by Harold Kruger of Hon. olulu.

 The Lavigne- Wilson bout tonight will be the first boxing match Bir- mingham has had In several weeks, and railbirds are about primed for q corking good bout. It would not be surprising if a capacity crowd witnessed the two boxers In action. tongh as Wilson is very popular here, and the bout has been adver- tised as one that ought to be good.
 CIaude's Big Bout
 It will be an all-important bout for young Claude Wilson. The local lad will not be going up against youngster of his own age and expe- rience tonight, but veteran of hum dreds of ring battles, one who knows his stuff from beginning to end, and has records of battles with top-notchers behind him to back up his claims Wilson has proven his ability against the husky, inexpe- rienced battiers. and tonight will have a chance to show what he can do with a man of science.
 Trail of Adventure
 It's long trail of adventure and trials that has led the British bat tier to Birmingham, Magic City of the South. When about IT years of age-in 1so5-Kid Lavigne, then spelling his name Levene. took up fighting as his life's work. From preliminaries he drifted to semi wind-ups, and then began to climb higher. After whipping several very good boys. he was given a chance at greater things. He met the great Ted Lewis in a bantamweight bout Ted was then in his youth and much lighter than now--and the Kid knocked him out. In a return bout, Lavigne stayed the limit with Lewis. but lost the decision.
 Further down in the record books, it is shown that one Kid Levene fought Georges Carpenter. little bantamweight of France, who ap- parently had the whole fistic world ahead of him. Again did Levene lose the fight, on a decision, but he put up a good enough scrap against the little Georges---now light-heavy- weight champion of the world-to earn notch in Fistiana's great log book of records.
 After He Grew Up
 All that happened In the very young days of Kid Levene. In more modern times, this youngster grew up into Kid Lavigne. the experienced old veteran, who tonight will crawl through the ropes at the E. A. c. Records show that Lavigne has met such boys as Tommy Noble, the Eng fisher, and Charles Ledoux. the Frenchman, who recently won the flyweight championship of France.

An apartment house at 60s-1o To-
peka boulevard, owned by Eli G.
Foster, was damaged by fire at 1910
o'clock this afternoon. The roof was
burned and the interior was badly
damaged by water. No, estimate of
the loss was made but Foster. believes
it was practically covered by insur-
ance.
The fire is thought to have started
in the attic of the house, where cloth
ing and trunks were stored. Spontap-
eous combustion was the cause of the
blaze, according to Joseph Waidelich,
brick and was composed of four apart
ments. The blaze on the roof was
strong but was kept from spreading
