 Kelly n Clever Boxer
 Battling Kelly Is veteran battler, having fought many battles in the B. A. c. ring. He has been considered one of the cleverest boxers to ever appear in a Birmingham bout, and 1t was his science that gave him victories over such sluggers as Dummy Harrington aRd others. Kelly has not the knock Sut punch that batters his foes into submission, but his skill and cleverness enable him to avoid many of his opponents blows and to win many of his bouts on points. As an exponent of science in the ring game. Battling Kelly is an immense success.
 On the other hand, Jimmy Finley is slugging piece of fighting ma chinery. He has a right hand punch that would put almost any man his weight to sleep, if 1t lands properly. Finley has fought twice since Jan uary l, and has won both bouts by knock outs. He will more than likely try for knock -out in his bout with Kelly and that brings out the other end of the argument, science vs. strength
 Kelly and Finley will weigh in

A. c. flash. in the third bout in- volving Boys, club sbattiers. Kelly has been beaten at the B. A.
