 For Title Bout

 The '' south American champion started out for his regular jaunt along the beach and board walk at ' o'clock this morning and had walk ed briskly for about a mile when rain began falling in sheets. Re- luctantly, he turned for home, for he is in fine physical trim and does not care to shirk the training task that has been set for him by his Argentine trainer.
 When he returned to his cottage in. Chelsea he let loose for a while on the heavy sand bag that Is suspended in the garage, then pulled the weights
 The rain continued falling heavily until ? o'clock when it let up for spell. The sparring outfit was sum- moned and the party motored to the dog racing track where the training ring is pitched but the ring canvas was water-soaked and chill wind blew, so Trainer Lavelle declared a full halt for the day.
 Discussing Firpo's condition the trainer called attention to the fighters wind, which he believes is as near perfection as that of any heavyweight in the ring Firpo breathes easily, even in his heaviest workouts, and never seems ato tire.
 Yesterday, after going through eight rounds of sparring a brisk pace, he stepped from the ring breathing as easily as in a sleep

ALABAMA TO HAVE FOUR MEN TO FILL
 PLACE OF NEWTON

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, August 29.- Elmer Deny substitute end on last years University of Alabama football team, or Lacy Brakefield, Ben Hud- son or Bruce Jones, men who gave a good account of themselves on last years university freshman team, are four men from whom university coaches must draw a man this year to fill the place of Tom Newton. Newton, one of the best ends the Crimson White aggregation has ever known, underwent an appendicitis operation in Birmingham last week which will at least keep him out of the game for the first two months of the coming football season, ac- cording to an announcement made here.
 The rule which eliminates from the varsity team for the first year of their attendance at the university, permitting them only to play fresh man football will prevent further material being available for the var sity team this year. A shift in the entire team, permitting the use of a veteran varsity man as end in the place of Newton, is possible; but coaches believe, it Is said, that one of the four men named will fill the bill to a better advantage.

New Orleans Meets BaronS In Final Series At Redwood This Year-First Game Of Double-Header Today Starts At 2::15 D. m.

The New Orleans Pelicans make their final appearance at Rickwood during the present season this week in four-game series with the Ba- rons. A double-header will be staged Thursday afternoon and a game Fri day and Saturday. The first game Thursday starts at 2:15 o'clock.
 After the New Orleans series the Barons take the road for two three game series, one at New Orleans and the other at Mobile. They return September 6 to meet the Nashville Volunteers in a four game series.
 The series this week with the PeIs will mean much to the locals. Pur- suing at the heels of the Mobile Bears in a mad race for second place, the Stewart clan is due to have a little rough sledding in their chase in the four games this week. How ever, the Barons seem to have knack of winning from the Pels when nobody else can, and with a streak of luck in the present series the locals stand gooo chance. of going into second place. The Bears are over in Atlanta playing the Crackers, and the Georgia outfit holds jinx over them something similar to the one that they had over the Barons until the last series.
 The Barons are now three and a half games behind the Bears and have been going at a terrific pace during the last two or three weeks. Trey are three and a half games ahead of Nashville and Atlanta, who are tied for fourth pIace.
 Earl Whitehill will probably be sent to the mound in the first game, while Roy Moore, who has been pitching great ball since his advent into the Southern, will work in-~rhe second game. The Pels' selection of hurlers is doubtful.
 Ed Goebel, star Baron center fielder, will probably still be out of the game for few days more on account of an injured knee. Miller Is playing center and Miner playing foh
