7 Lads on Legion Card

Bob Gibson is fighting for the
American Legion band tonight. He
and Kim Kimsey, our two very own,
are scheduled to lick the stuffins out
of two other gentlemen, one head
ing from Leesburg, the other from
Macon. That's the word that comes
from Commander Crawford's fight
committee.
The Time's-T Tonight, s Sharp.
The Place-Legion Hall, Old Arm
ory, on Forsyth street, near Dudley's s
Opera House.
THE REASON-All profits go to
the Legion band, which is incidental,
for the real reason, is everybody
wants to see the boys mix it for 16
rounds.
DO you remeber Bob Gibson and
What's His Name Scrap Iron
Green?" Commander Crawford ask
ed. We'll, you'll also remember that
Bob Gibson went into that ring with
a broken nose. Boy, that nose was
worse than broken. 1t was crushed,
smashed, flattened and mutilated.
Scrap-Iron knew all about the nose
and, believe me, he hammered it ev-
cry chance, but Gibson stayed and
how he did fight. He was glorious.
Those boys fought until both wert
simply down and out-and / believe
the referee called it a draw. Bul
for that nose
"Oh, well that's ancient history
now. The point is Gibson is COM
ing back tonight, il l am any kind
of a prognosticator. Gibson wants
to hear the referee count 10-on the
other fellow.
"Then there's Kim Kimsey. That
| Ilong-legged boy has developed from
a golden-haired amateur into real
bruiser. He is going after Marion
Lee, of Leesburg. They tell me that
boy carries a nice easy, soft name,
just to fool EN-. Marion's two fists
pack two pile-drivers, about equal
to a Georgia mule rough-shod. Six
rounds is the limit if Marion wants
that much.
Harry Allen, of Macon, comes here
to spread Bob Gibson all over Sum-
ter county. Bob won't talk. He just
looks wise and smiles and says,
bring Harry on. Pm waiting for
those Macon boys Harry and Bob
are to go six rounds.
"heys Arnold and Albert Thayer,
two Americus lads, will open the Sc
ries with slugging match for four
rounds.
"It's dollar and half show for

and forget that cotton was once
selling for less than 80 cents. "

MACON, March Harry Allen,
local preliminary fighter, has proof
of the fact that he is becoming popu-
lar all over the state. Harry is going
to appear in the main go of a short
card in Americus tonight. The To-
cal boy will meet Bob Gibson, of
Plains, in a six-round decision bout.
Harry is making friends all around
this section now, due to his whirlwind
style of battling. He was sought
particularly by the Americus people.
CORDELE, March 14.-Ken Kim
scy, of Cordele, enters a six-round
bout tonight in Americus with Marion
Lee, of Leesbrug. This is not the
first time the Cordele boy has been
in the ring and he promises enter
tainment for the former army cham
pion he will face.
There will be other contests during
the hour in Americus and a good
program is promised. The Cordele
boy is the son of C. W. Kimsey, spe-
cial agent for the Seaboard here.

HER SHOES AFIRE,
WILL LOSE TOES

Mrs. Walter Baker. 612 East Sew
enth street. will probably lose three
toes from her left foot as the result
OF burns suffered a few days ago in
rather unusual way.
Mrs. Baker said this morning that
she had taken a seat in front OF a
stove in her parlor ad was warming
her feet when flames burst from the
toe OF her shoe. Running to the
kitchen after finding her efforts TO
smother the flames unsvailing, Mrs.
Baker stuck her foot into bucket
of water. The big toe and two ad-
joining toes were burned TO the bone
and the remaining toes were slightly
burned.
DIR. George w. X. Forrest hopes to
save the foot.
Mrs. Baker said today that she had
purchased the shoes several days
ago and thinks that the sole was
stiffened by the use OF celluloid or
some other highly inflammable sub
stance. She says the greater part OF
the fire was on the inside OF the shoe
and that the heat from the stove
must have ignited It on the inside
before the flames burst through the
outer covering.
Mrs. Baker has two children, John
aged 6 years. and William. aged
