Andrew de Bob. De guy whose name is Octavus Roiee, Pass in de cops, bgga de mob. Beega guys of duske hoo, Joomped inter de ring to fight. One high waller outran de crew, An winner de battle dat night. Two leetle guys. toppa de card, Put on dem pillars at last. De crowd joomp up and yella hard, When de boys, dey warma up fast. Lika dat guy. Jimmy de Prot, Hitta lak son of a gun. Whippa dat Hewie, got his goat, An Siva de bunch som fun! Landed wallop in de jaw
 Shoulda seen dat Robbie flop! To hit a guys again de law, But dey no run frum de cop. Betta my son could whip 'em all, Bringa home mucha de jack, Give 'em de right an watch 'em fall An what is so hard about dat? Whata siv heem to get dat way. An maka de whole woil lick? He eats spaget three times d day, An washes it down wid garlic.

 Jimmy PrOto has fought his way into the hearts of all Bir- mingbam fandom, by his great showing against Bobby Hughes. Jimmy led nll the way. md whipped Hughes so thoroughly that there Is no dOubt of the fact that he Is not flash in the pan. hut a cOrkinE good lit- tic boxer. capable Of meeting the best of 'cm below the Mason and Dixon line. When Jimmy can fight like he did Friday night. the fans never kick at having him billed in n head liner.
 Tommy Tompkins and Claude Wilson have left town again, to be away two weeks or more. Will son has four fights on the road. but will probably return home to stage a battle at the B. A. C. be- tween ms tnlfd ana lOuTtn en- agreements abroad.
 Here are the bouts Tommy has lined up for Wilson on the present road trip:
 May 1-Wilson vs. Tim Calla- han, Savannah.
 May 3-Wilson vs. Tim O'Dowd, Columbus.
 May Wilson ws. Bobby Hughes, Shreveport.
 June Wilson vs. Sammy Sandow. Atlanta.
 Claude has been idle since his sensational battle with Al Pettin- gill at the B. A. C., but he is in good condition, Tommy states, and should have successful road trip.
 Just who Wilson's next oppo nent at the B. A. C. will be is uncertain. but before leaving town Tompkins stated that good boy will be secured.
 A letter we received fire m Ed die ODowd stating that negotia- tions for showing here are 1 under way, may mean that Vii son will fight this stellar young boxer from the middle states section.
 Red Herring Is hack In town in prime condition after n series 0f battles abroad. Red will remain in the Magic City quite while now, and states thnt he is open for engagements. Rcd stated Saturday that he would like to meet Young Leonard of New Or- leans again, and suggests that the B. A. c. put them on In Hereunder.
 It has been a week of varying fortune for the Barons, but now that it is over, fandom can look back over the week of battling ~~and realize that 1t was not such a failure, after all.
 Facing Mobile and New Orleans in five games Joe Dunn's men copped three of them 500 per centage. not bad at all.
 If Dunn's men can maintain a like gait against the Bears. Pels and one or two other strong teams in the league throughout the season. the gonfalon will probably fly over Redwood next fall.
 The Barons are hitting the bali like fiends. as the official aver ages just released show. Joe Dunn's men are batting over 300 per cent in team hitting. while there are many individuals over this mark. Second in the league, IS tne Ol lAc team as whole.
 As yet. the pitchers have failed tO settle down to the speed Of which they are capable. MOrri- son. Whitehill and Stewart have pitched some good bnll, hut Cox, Daniels. Grny nnd Bates must im- prove in their sh0wings If the team is to stny up In the run- ming. Joe Dunn isn't worrying over his huriers yet. hut anless
