BIG ATHLETIC SHOW ON IN ATHLETIC CLUB ARENA AT
 8:3OO'CLOCK MONDAY NIGHT
"Red" Herring To Meet Ed- die Anderson In Feature Of Boxing Bill For 10-Round Bout

Everything is set, ready for the gong to start the first preliminary of the big athletic bill which is scheduled for tonight in the Birming- ham Athletic club arena. The first preliminary of the program starts at S:30 and the evening will be closed out with 10-round match between Red" Herring of Birmingham and Eddie Anderson of Akron, Ohio, which should be one of the feature boxing bouts of the local season.
 The program tonight will be a well balanced bill. The preliminaries show promise of being the best ever put on by the club while the main bout will be what the fans predict as a humdinger.
 Eddie Anderson, who will meet Herring, is a tWo-fisted fighter who packs a mean wallop. He recently won a decision over Patsy McMahon who gave Red" a couple of hard fights here. He has met most of the best boys in Ohio and Indiana.
 Anderson and Herring were sched- uled to meet here some time ago but Red" broke his hand in d bout and was laid up for quite a while. How ever, Herring is back in good shape now and will be ready for Anderson tonight. He has been taking little training down on the Warrior and returned Sunday afternoon to Bir- mingham looking fit and ready for the battle.
 From advance sale of tickets the bout Monday night will draw one of the largest houses Of the year. The Herring bouts that were held here some time ago were always big draw ing cards and Red" will perform before a big house, from present in- dicationS.
 The preliminary card that has been arranged by Matchmaker Dave Evans is alone worth the price of admission. Three bouts which have all the ear marks of being hair raisers are on the boxing bill, while the feature wrestling match will be corker.
 The semi- final bout on the boxing bill should be one of the best anna teur battles of the year. In this match Bogie Saab and Battling Spark Plug will wage a slug war for the city championship of the 135-pounders. Both boxers have appeared many times in the local ring and have been unusually successful. Spark Plug has been defeated but once in a local ring while Saab has cleaned up in his matches. Monday night they will meet and it will be battle of hard hitters
 Another grudge affair that should produce some hot slugging is the bout between Tony Moreno and Paul McGinty. McGinty knocked Moreno out in a recent smoker at the B. A: L. In one of the hottest boxing matches of the season. Moreno is coming back to get revenge and is in good shape for his bout.
 Max Sholder, who will wrestle rom Lacey in 10-round bout has been training ha.d for the contest and says he is going to pin the shoulders of the Y. M. C. A. wrestler. They have met In several matches and they have been nip and tuck affairs. In the last match staged between the two It woS a draw in 10 dounds.
 The other boxing preliminary on the program will be between Big Boy" Edwards and "Slim" Wilson, 17O-pound sluggers. This bout should be a good one as both boxers are built about alike and have terrific punches. ,, ,
 The bill as arranged will furnish an evening of real boxing and wrestI- ing and should be big success.
