blrnlnSndm WILL nave a Clty com mission with three instead of five missioners expire. if Governor Bran don approves the Brewer bill. which was passed by the house without op- position Tuesday afternoon. The vote was 65 to 0.
 The bill provides that at the next election for the naming or city commission only three shall be elected. Birmingham is now the only city in Alabama which has five com missioners. Mobile h[ sl6 always had three, while Montgome < reduced it's commission from five GS three ill 1915.
 Passage of the bill reducing the number will not affect the bill now pending which gives citizens of Bir- mingham the right to vote on the form of government which shall be maintained. This bill, introduced by Representative Henry Howze, pro vides for the submission of three forms of government at an election, the commission form, the aldermanic form and the city manager form.
 JETER BILL RECoMMITTED
 The bill of Representative Mark Jeter of Jefferson to provide for the election of the board of education of Birmingham by popular vote was re committed in the house today to the committee on education at the re- quest of Representative Henry Howze. It was stated that certain interests in Birmingham oppose the bill and desire to be heard.
 The following local Jefferson | county bills were introduced today:
 By Representative R. E. Smith to | fix the compensation of the deputy circuit clerk at Si,SO0; by Represen- tative Fred Fite, to provide for the l tSt nf 1 the chancery division of the circuit court at $3,600 per year, and seond ; bill by MT. Fite fixing the salary of the probate clerk at s3,600 per year. l ALL-TINIE GAME WARDEN ASKED l The recess committee on conserVa- | tion will probably report to the leg islature this week, and will make a number of important recommends l tionS.
 One of the most important recom- mendations to be made, which has the hearty support of the committee, it Is stated, is that an all-time game warden be appointed for each county in Alabama. It is said that states which have all-time wardens have found the system vastly more satls- factory than the method of having men employed only part time. Con victions for violation of the game laws are many times more numer- ous under the system where sal aried warden devotes his entire time to the work of protecting the wild life of the state. Under the plan to be recommended the wardens will be appointed blythe commissioner of conSerVation, subject to the approval of the governor.
 Another important recommends tion will be that the funds collected from hunting licenses and fines be used exclusively for conservation purposes, for protecting i<rd propa- gating the game and other wild life of the state, and enforcing the con servation statutes, and that none of the conservation money be diverted into the general fund.

big purse and in Chicago he wasn't.
Anyone who saw Willard in Chi
cago knew he was entirely out OF
training. Chicago authorities pro-
hibited the match at the last mo-
ment which may have been lucky for
Jess, as four rounds is long way for
an unframed fat champion to travel
against Dempsey.
At Toledo Tex Richard told me
the day before the fight that he'd
been worried half sick for fear Will
lard would step into his car and
leave for Kansas, throwing the fight
down at the last moment, because he
would be forced to accept Ollie Pc
cord, a local referee. Richard wasn't
sure his great investment hadn't been
thrown away until jess was actually
in the ring.
Willard is reported to be peevish
and irritable in training. That's
usually the best sign in the world. A
fighter who is easy-going, smiling and
good-natured in training camp usu-
ally goes into the ring careless and
over-confident.
I like to see them peevish. JEFF
fries always was a bear in training
camp, surely and short-spoken and
rough, especially in the last week OF
training when he was on edge. Stan
lev Ketchel had his sparring partners
in terror during the last few days.
Dempsey is grim and concentrated on
fighting.
Even Bob Fitzsimmons grew wasp
ich just before a fight, and usually
knocked his sparring staff "cuckoo"
in the last three of four days.
At Havana Jack johnson was one
golden-toothed smile right up TO the
fight date. He thought Willard was
a big farmer. He was knocked out.
At Toledo Jess Willard visited the
lobby of the Hotel Secor every day,
and sat there smiling contentedly,
while the crowd milled around him.
staring and admiring. He was
knocked out.
Fitzsimmons fought Jeffries to get
money to par an overdue printing
bill. He thought Jeff was big
novice. who would crumple under n
few punches. His training that one
time was half play. Fitz thought
everything was a joke. And he was
knocked out.

"Let me have men about me that
are fat.

"He thinks too much. Such men are
dangerous"

guy to pick winners.
