small. One matchmaker is out of
town, another leaves Sunday, and
Birmingham major performers
of the squared arena have jaunts
to make in foreign fields.
Dave Evans, who is handling
matchmaking while Tommy Tomp-
kins is away with Claude Will

for bout at the B. A. c. Monday
night have been called off, and
that the earliest date on which a
show can be staged will probably
be May A.
Red Herring, who was figured
in main bout for Monday night,
has been matched to fight in
Memphis, against Bobby Green,
and next Friday night, meets
Red McLachlin in Atlanta.
Evans stated that Herring will
probably meet an Indiana scrap

a week from Monday night, or on
