Present Champions
Lack Color, Says
Sporting Expert
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-James j
Corbett, of the former heavyweight
title holders perhaps had the most
color, and he still retains it, Has
extreme popularity has kept him
before the public years after he
lost his title and has given him a
most comfortable living on the
stage
Corbett, Jack johnson aud Jess
Willard were at the ringside for 4
heavyweight contest in Madison
Square Garden recently and Corbett
was easily the biggest one of the
three.
Johnson, had he moi chosen not
oriety for popularity, might still be
a big figure in the ring world. He
had lot of color in his day, but
his mistakes ruined him.
Willard never was popular. He
always was of sort of sour DISPOSE
ton aud always gave the impress
sion that he was about TO bark when
he was approached. His attitude
has changed somewhat since he
dropped the title and there may be
o reason why he tries to be pleas
ant now.
Jeffrfes was bear in disposition
and he was never a popular public
figure outside of ring circles. John
L. had q lot of color and go did
Bob Fitzsimmons, but they have
passed out Of the picture.
Jack Dempsey might have been
the most popular of all the heavy
weight champions. He might have
made an undying name for himself
had he been inclined differently in
1917. AS long as Dempsey lives,
however, his war record will be held
against him aud it will go down On
the books after he has gone
Taken as n whole the present
bunch of champions are a colorless
lot.
Dempsey and Benny Leonard seem
moro anxious to become champions
of the stage than. hero kings of the
ring.
Johnny Wilson and Johnny Kill
bane are faded out from a. long
period of hiding away from the
spotlight.
Mickey Walker at present is
merely tolerated and not considered
as much of a champion, through the
general belief that he is to be
- taken the first time he meets a
good welterwoight
Joe Lynch had the markings of
becoming a popular champion. until
he started doing things that his
friends wouldn I do.
Little Paneho Villa, the fly
weight title holder, is the only color
full one Of the bunch aud he is no
eye knoeker. He does give a show
every time he gets in the ring and
he is iu there plenty.

 In addition, he would be required to furnish a $5,000 bond payable to the state for the reimbursement of persons who may be injured by any representations regarding conditions which might prove to be untrue.

 This bill is intended to drive the labor agents from Alabama" said Mir. TUnstall. Alabama needs the labor of all who are now working in this state and it is not fair to labor or to any others for the work

EXCHANGE OF ADVERTISING FOR RAIL FARES AUTHORIZED
Editors Pass Bill Now Lacks Only Governors Signature To Become Law
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD

Publishers and editors of Alabama newspapers will be permitted to ex- change advertising for transportation on railroads. The house of repre- sentative Tuesday afternoon passed the bill permitting the exchange which had already been passed by the senate. The vote in the house was 53 to 31.
 Undr the bill newspaper publishers and editors will be permitted to ex- change advertising for mileage books the advertising to be figured at the regular rates of the newspapers and the mileage books to b figured at the lgal rates for transportation in Ala bama.
 l.. K. Bowen of Jefferson made the only address in opposition to the bill. He charged that the bill was liable to hog tie the newspa pers to the railroads" He said newspapers are now rendering a service to all the people of the state, and that the eX- change of advertising for transporta- tion might cause them to discontinue this public service.
 Long Supports Bni.
 J. Lee Long of Butler, who led the fight for the enactment of the law in 1907, which prohibited newspapers from accepting railroad passes, led the movement for the enactment of the bill Tuesday afternoon. MT. Long said the committee on commerce and common carriers gave serious consid eration to the bill and studied it from every standpoint, reaching the con- clusion that since all other persons have to right to exchange their com modities for other commodities, pub fishers and editors of newspapers should be permitted to trade their ad- Na art iSi fn tot
 Mir Long said he didn't think those controlling newspapers in Alabama would become subservIent to any spe cial interest because of the exchange of advertising for transportation.
 Passage of the advertising ex change bill was the feature of a list less session of the house during the afternoon. Much of the session was devoted to preliminary business and the passage of local bills.
