FAIR ASSOCIATION
 FAVORS STADIUM
Working Out Details To Set
 Aside Twelve Acres For Plant

Stockholders of the Alabama State Fair association tentatively ap- proved the proposal for the estab- lishment of the Junior Chamber of Commerce stadium within the fair grounds, at meeting held Wednes- day afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce.
 A committee of five was appointed, with authority to confer with the stadium committee of the Junior Chamber and thresh out the details, reporting to meeting of the fair assoeiati2n stockholders to be called later. ahe committee is composed of B. B. Burton, chairman; R A. Brown, Morris Bush, George W. Yancey and V. II. Hanson.
 This action of the stockholders was taken as an acceptance in principle of the proposal that has been under discussion for some time, for the donation of 12-acre site at one end of the fair grounds where the s275,- 900 stadium planned by the Junior Chamber may be erected.
 There are details to be worked out, such as incidental concessions, the use of the stadium by the fair as- sociatton when it Is not reserved for a football game or an athletic con- test, the prevention of conflict when there are fair ssociation attractions at the same time with scheduled games and such matters
 Confidence was expressed both by stockholders of the fair association and members of the Junior Chamber stadium committee, over the final satisfactory adjustment of all kinks in the agreement and the opinion seems to be general that the fair grounds is the logical place for the stadium.
 No special time for :. conference between the fair association com mittee and the stadium packers has been designated. but it is understood they will get together without de- lay

CRIOUT TO DEFEND
 NEW TITLE SOON

NEW YORK, June 3.-(By As sociated Press.)-Criqui. the new featherweight champion of the world, will defend his title in a decision match with Johnny Dundee of New York, within 60 days at the Polo Grounds, Matchmaker Tom O'Rourke of the Polo Grounds A. C., announced today.
 Before today's fight, Criqui and Kilbane had posted forfeits of $10.000 each, binding the winner to give Dundee his long sought chance to win the featherweignt title.
 Dundee. who held Kilbane to a draw In 20 rounds a year after tn: latter won the title from Abe Attell. has been angling for another crack at the crown for years. Last year when Kilbane ignored Dundee's chal- lenge, the New York state athletic commission vacated the champions title in this state and declared Dun dee the title-holder after the little Italian had knocked out Danny Frush of Cleveland, another con- tender.
 Recognition of Kilbane as title holder was restored when he and Cri- qui agreed to give Dundee the next crack at the crown.
