FINAL. PROBLEM

LONDON, Aug. H. Hc IcPaIo-
tions conference has finally shaken
itself down to the basic question
of the Ruhr evacuation and the
leaders are attempting in private
interviews to effect a settlement Of
this acute political problem; which
really is not on. the agenda of the
conference. I
M. Herriot, French premier, had
a long interview yesterday with
DR.. Stresemann, German foreign
minister. Chancellor Marx and DR..
Stresemann called on NJ. Theunis,
Belgian premier, and the leading
German delegates also conferred
with Ramsay Macdonald, British
prime minister.
Much to Settle Yet
While M. Herriot is supposed to
have returned from Paris with au-
thority to agree to the Ruhr evacu-
alton within II months, the ques-
tion of when evacuation will begin
and the details of it's execution, in
cluding the desire of the French
and Belgians to keep their nation
ais on the railways, must be set
tied among the French, Belgians,
English and Germans before the
conference can proceed in definite
way with the program for institut-
ing the Dawes plan.
Reports from all three commit
tees of the conference have been
agreed to in principle, but the jur-
lists are busy studying and editing
the protocols which are not yet in
final form. The opinion now seems
general in conference circles that
the outcome will be definitely set
tied by Thursday or Friday, and
the majority opinion is decidedly
optimistic respecting the results.

BURKE WILLGO AFTER KNOCKOUT Kelly Talks Too Much, He Says, Planning To
 Quiet Him

Red Burke, who meets Young Battling Kelly at the Birmingham Athletic club in a 1o-round bout on an all-star card Monday night, was waxing warm meath the collar Wednesday. Burke, in no uncertain terms. stated that he was go- ing to knock Kelly for row of pome- granates when they got in the ring Monday night.
 Long Wait, Burke Says
 "Aii this stuff about Kelly and his manager makes me sick.'' said Red. Its his first fight as a headline at- traction and he gets him a manager" he allowed. "Can you beat that? And then the manager, Ben Fell. comes along and says that he's going to match Kelly with Lukie Tener and Tim O'Dowd just as soon as he beats me. All got to say it that hope Tim and Lukie don't depend on that promise for . meal ticket. If they wait until Kelly three will be eligible to enter the old soldiers home.
 'The fans of Birmingham have never seen me at top form. They will have this pleasure Monday night. Hereto fore. as a semi-finalist, I have never really known Whetner would Dc called upon to fight or not. At best, knew the bout would so for only six rounds. Realizing this, never trained particu- larly. Knowing this time that I must be in condition to do a stretch of 10 rounds, I got busy just as soon as I signed articles to meet Kelly. I have been training ever since. I'm going to show the boys Monday night that they picked a good favorite, too"
 Spark Plug On Bin
 Bogie Saab and Spark Plug will ap- pear on the eight-round windup of the evening, and other good mills are to be booked to make 1t an all- star card.
 Matchmaker Evans also announced Wednesday afternoon that Petey Sar- l ron, who will represent the southeastern department of the A. A. U. in the Olym. pic eliminations in Boston next week would appear against some good mar
 on the Monday night card.

 NOT BE IN RACE

GAINEsyILLEg Fla, May 7.-(spe- cial.)-with Captain "Ark" Newton down with sprained ankle and final examinations only a week off Coach White Wednesday called off the pro- posed invasion of Montgomery for the southern conference cinder meet by the Gator track aggregation. Followers of Florida track activities expressed keen disappointment when it was announced that Florida would not be represented in Montgomery, for it was felt in Gator town that the Florida team, reinforced by the brilliant Ark" would make far more impressive record than was rung up at the recent Tech relays.
 The calling off of the Florida trip brings to a close one of the most suc- cessful track seasons ever enjoyed at the University of Florida, one which gives rich promises to the future track activities at the baby university of the south.

NEW YORK, May 7.-Bartley Mad den, a ring-worn Heavyweight, who seems to be going nowhere in particu- lar himself but who delays a lot of other fighters, will try to sidetrack Harry Wills next Monday night in a 15-round tussle at the new Queensboro stadium, the largest outdoor fight arena in New York. except the ball yards. Madden, because he is only feet II inches tall, has never been able to ad- vance beyond the second division of the heavyweights, although he has been in the ring a long time and is 30 years old, one year older than Jack Demp- aey. Ns rA GG
 wills will have an advantage of three inches in height, six inches in reach and about 30 pounds in weight, but Madden conceded as much to Fred Full ton d couple of years ago and gave him a severe beating. If Wills does not beat Madden decisively, his drawing powers in subsequent matches with Quintin Romero and Jack Dempsey will be diminished.

OLYMPIC FUNDS
 SOLICITED HERE s, ,OO0 Quota To Be Raised
 Through Mails, Is C0bb's Plan

Herbert Cobbs. president of the Bir- ningham Athletic club and Wednesday named by General Henry T. Allen, an executive officer of the American Oiym- pic committee, as general chairman of the Olympic fund committee for the Birmingham district, announced Wednesday night that the Birmingham Athletic club has given $100 to the fund as a starter. Birmingham pub lic-spirited citizens and those interested in athletics and interested in America accomplishing anything she undertakes are expected to give 5000 toward the defraying of expenses of Birmingham men competing in the eliminations in New York and later in sending the American team to Paris.
 Asked To Send Checks
 Atlanta has already gone over the top with her quota of $5.000," said MT. Cobss, "and Montgomery, too, allotted $1 ,000 fund, has sent her quota in to the general committee. I feel sure that Birmingham can raise her $8,00o and take this means of appealing to all public-spirited citizens to send their cheeks in to J. K. Fleming at the First National bank, who has been named by General Allen as treasurer for this district. Just as soon as $30o0 is raised we will not attempt to gather any more funds"
 Petey sarron. the Boys club boxers, and Tom Lacey, the amateur wrestler, have great chances of representing America in their respective weights. They have been chosen to represent the southeastern department in the elimination, and part of the money col lected from this campaign will be used in defraying their expenses.
 No Personal Canvass
 Mir. Cobb stated that no personal can vass would be made. "We want to get away from that if possible" he stated. Reaching this decision, we decided to mall letters to Birmingham men, ask ing them to contribute just what they thought they could spare to this cause. Any donation from $1 to $100 will be appreciated. The check or money order should be mailed to J. K. Fleming, First National bank. Birmingham, Ala
