ODOWD TO MEET
 WILSON M LOCAL ARENA MARCH 26
Claude in Shape After Latest Siege in Jersey
 Rings

Birmingham boxing fans will have the opportunity to witness Wilson, the Magic City's bantam weight championship bid, in action against one of the best of Dixies smaller ringmen. Wilson, who is stopping over here for couple of weeks before returning east, will meet Tim ODowd, Atlanta holder of the Dixie bantamweight champion ship, at the Birmingham Athletic club a week from Monday. or on March 26.
 Wilson. who just returned from New York Thursday night, has been spending the past few days renewing. old acquaintances at the B. A C.. warmer cline of his home town after his prolonged stay up east. Claude appears to be in the best of shape and Tommy Tompkins, his manager. will send him through daily work outs this week to keep him in condi tion for the O'Dowd fight.
 Claudes fighting weight is 12o pounds now. and when he enters the ring against Tim O'Dowd next Monday he will not be under very large handicap in Doundage, as the Atlanta boy tips the beam at about l22 pounds ringside
 Wilson has been going like a house afire ever since he began his inva- sion of the east. Since leaving Bir- mingham he has won one fight on foul, and secured q draw with Lew Hurley, one of the best bantams in Jersey rings.
 Tim ODowd is leading Wilson in their own private little series. Tim mic has beaten Wilson once, and fought a draw with him again. It is generally considered over in Atlanta that O'Dowd is a better fighter than Wilson and it is fact that Claude was beaten by Timmie in q bout at the Gate City.
 Wilson has improved. everyone who has seen him in action recently states. Therefore. many are picking him to reverse the tables on Tim ODowd a week from Monday night.
 Tommy Tompkins stated Saturday that the preliminary card VIII be an- nounced during the first Of the week. and that some of the best of Magic City talent will appear in the semi final and prelims
