AVERA CONFIDENT OF WINNING BOUT.
Atlanta Boxer Is Not 4 Stranger To Local
 Fiqht Fans

Larry ARera, "the fighting blonde Irishman" of Atlanta, who Match maker Dave Evans has signed to meet Johnny McGinty as the head line attraction at the Birmingham Athletic club on Monday night, is not a stranger to the Birmingham fans by any means, as Larry has appeared here against Harrington twice, Her. ring. Jingles, and others.
 Walk Miller, who handles Avera, states that Larry is now in better fighting condition than he has ever attained before, and that the fans will witness one of his best fights on next Monday. Avera, due to ill- ness, almost retired from the ring for a year and a half, but last sum- mer he went to the north Georgia mountains, where he remained for three months, going through a hard course of training that enabled him to return to the ring in the fall of last year better fighter than ever before. Since this time Avera has defeated Chick Branch, at Atlanta; Murphy, at Atlanta. and fought Jimmy Finley fierce ten-round draw at Jacksonville.
 Avera has always been considered by the fight critics as the very best boxer the south has produced in the past several years, and when right is one of the most effective fighters for his weight in the country. Both Avera and Miller expect the year 1924 to be their banner year, and Miller has mapped out a tough cam paign for his star welterweight. Should Larry defeat McGinty here next Monday he has offers for matches in Ohio and Michigan for the latter part of January.
 This fellow McGinty Is no ones dub and he can fight, but I feel con- fident that Larry will show him more gloves next Monday than he has ever witnessed in his entire ca reer. Budd underestimated the abil- ity of Johnny when he met him re- gently, you can bet your life, though that I got to lamp this bird while the fight was in progress and I will be the most surprised man in the club next Monday if McGinty doesn't need someone to lead him to his dressing room after the encounter is finished" Walk Miller said.

GOLF BALLS MUST
 AGE TO BE BEST

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Experiments ln laboratories and on the links have shown that golf balls need to be aged for several months to be durable, it was said today by the manager of sporting goods house, which turns out most of the golf balls used in America. The annual consumption of that rubber pellet amounts to 24,- 900, 900, worth $18,000,000 at retail.
 In order to have the thin cover vulcanized to the right degree for obtaining distance. 1t must not be made to6 hard. As a result when the balls are green" they are easily cut by the edge of the( club head when the golfer tops the ball. The cover with the exact amount of vulcaniz- ing to make it lively, will tougher with a few months aging and yet 1t will retain its elasticity to the ut- most degree so far as delicate test ing machines can show.
 During the last few years, the manufacturers have been unable to keep up with the demand for golf balls, and the insistent golfer grabs the green ones during the summer, not Knowing that if he had pur- chased his supply during the fall and winter he would not cut up so many the next season, 1t was said.

C. quintet staged several scrim- images before the game, but their opposition was not strong enough to show up their faults as the game with the strong Maroon machine did.
 Coach Charles Zeilman is giving his Golden five a gruelling drill this week out on Sunshine Slopes, for to the Partners the game will be one of the hardest of their schedule. It will be the first game that7-the Gold and Black has engaged in. although several practice sessions with Smp- son and scrub teams have been staged.
 Several good men are out for the team and a good supply of new ma terial. With the veteran, Hoyt Le- vie. for a guard, and the Simpson flash of 1921. "Skeebie" Caldwell. along with new men who are show ing up well, Coach Zeilman expects to turn out good team. ----/ /
 The Blue squad was strengthened this. week by the addition of Ham" Stevens and Toby Stubbs. Stevens Is good prospect at forward, while StubbS is a veteran center.

One of the odd things in what you might call the literature of baseball Is that the Pittsburg, club of 19o1- 02-03 is seldom mentioned by writers in discussing the great ball teams of past years.
 I have been asked for my opinion on the subject and come right out in the open in saying the Pirates who won the pennants in those years were about the best ball club I ever have seen before or afterward.
 l know that the Orioles were great, that the Cubs. the Athletics and the Giants were also great. I'm taking nothing away from them. but I do think the writing fellows-and that goes for famous baseball men, too-have overlooked the one best bet.
 That team was not only good enough to win three pennants, but it did it after a big slice of the stars had been taken away by the Ameri- can league, jast then getting it's start. The Pirates of 1901 were, made up of a tot of young fellows who played for the team as a whole ana never thought Ol tnClT pei records, It's the only ball club l ever have seen where every man could be depended upon to do his part when called on. Nobody on the club ever thought Now, if we only had somebody in that fellows place" No, they thought every man on the club the right man for his job. That means a lot.
 On that team 1t was a case of fol- low the leader. Fred Clarke, the leader, was playing such a whirl- wind game then that he seemed to carry all the players along in the same style.
 Why, on that 1901 club we lost enough good players to make up pretty fair club in any league. Still, we had the spirit and went right on winning just the same. Just by ac- cident I have the box score of the game which decided the pennant. You might be interested in looking nf
