 The fight was battle for the crowds and the boxers were cheered often at that Claude Wilson, popular little Bir- J., would fight Boots" Antley, of champion, at the Birmingham Athletic club Monday night, August IS.
 The preliminaries to the main bout were exceptionally good. They were opened by an eight-round wrestling match in which Slick Vincent, steller football, basketball and baseball play CT of Simpson fame, essayed new role and was successful. He threw Kid Lott, in the sixth round with flying headlock, and won his match. Neither was able to floor the other during the remainder of the bout.

VOLS WIN AGAIN
 FROM BARONS, S-3
Eighth Straight Loss Is
 Checked Up Against Stewards

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 4.-The Vols staged a big inning at Red Bates expense and sent the Barons further down the lists with their eighth straight loss, for the final game of the series here today, score S-3.
 Up until the sixth, Lindstrom and Bates had engaged in a red hot pitch CTS duel with Lindy having slightly the edge, due to the one sole and lone ly blow he had permitted Howard Camp to beat out in the opening frame. The Vols had pestered Bates for four safe ties and run until the sixth opened
 It was in this frame that the Barons tied it up for Red only to witness the Vols put it on ice in their half ot the session.
 Stewart singled to open the sixth and was sacrificed to second, to score on Bob Rhodes double off the fence. Camp and Hartford were easy infield victims to stop the scoring.
 Fisher beat out drag to open ana Graf punched a single over third. as Rrausen dashed in for bunt. Brausen dropped Wagner's attempted sacrifice and the bases were packed. Paskert singled sharply to left and two run ners crossed the plate. Wagner scored while Wells was being tossed out. Iindstrom singled to bring Paskert home and Hawks beat out an infleld drag to score Wells. Lebourveau doubled to right to score Lindstrom and then watched Fisher make the final out on his secon trip to the plate.
 Lindstrom visibly ,eased up in the seventh and the Barons crossed the plate twice on hits by Ganzel, Brenner, an error on Brausen's grounder, a walk to Stewart, and an infield out bv Jeanes. Bransen beat out bunt to Graft in the ninth for the sixth and final Baron hit of the game. The Vols gathered 13 safe pokes off Bates and Sawyer.
 Lindstrom drove across another run in the eighth to make up for two he had permitted the BarOns. .;
 Hawks and Graft, with three hits each, starred for the Vols. Paskert robbed Brausen of an extra baser m the first frame by a great running gloyed-hand, shoestring clutch. Lebo robbed Camp by q similar grab far up on the right field dump and Alten set Camp away with a similar feat. ',hlsecondhorse-u

FIRPO TRAINING
 LAGGING STILL

SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. 4.-Luis FirpO's training stiIl lags as though the shaggy Argentine were reluctant to get down to the torturing work of reducing his waist line and hardening hn muscles against the swats and slams which liar ry Wills intends to aim his way when they meet in the Rickard bowl at Ger sey City on Sept. Il. :
 Firpo went out over the hills Mon day morning with Manuel Ferrera, his sparring partner, image and shadow, who is known as FirpO because of his resemblance to the wild bull. When they came back after one hour and two min utes, they claimed they had run seven miles over hill and dale and had leaped few farm fences on the way,
 Luis has decided to quit his after noon soccer football practice because it makes the muscles of his legs sore. This may be taken as an indication of his condition. He rounded out the days work with some calisthenics, and some boxing with the sand bag and his shadow. He intends to begin hard training Saturday.

Jimmy Finley, of Louisville, slugging welterweight, tossed his southern crown into the ring at the Birmingham Attn letic club Monday night and defied young Jack Dillon, of Nashville, to take it away from him. Although Dillon failed to win the head piece he put up a mighty battle for it and was rewarded with draw, on decision of two judges and referee. Though both men landed many telling blows throughout the slug ging melee and apparently of the same valuation, still terrific and clean left to the jaw that floored Dillon hard, a never ceasing straight left that was thrown into DillOn's face throughout the bout and twO-fisted slugging at- tack directed at Dillon when he was leaning into the ropes, seemed to com bine in giving Jimmy a little edge in point coinage.
 The men were evenly matched and there was little doubt of that from the start, they were both willing and that was shown from the first bell to the final gong, and they were both clever, else one would have taken the count before 10 rounds of such slugging had LeEMl1aIeu. 4uEOuSuOuJ lhC CaAAJ rounds Finley jabbed straight left into Dillon's face, an open target, and Oc- casionally took advantage of lack of head defense to Idriye over a terrific right that Jimmy swung from way back and caught Dillon after a semi-circular swing was q near-sleep producer.
 Dillon Attack Diversified

who took 101, Mrs. E. E. Harwood and Mrs. j. HI. Armstrong of Jackson, Miss, who navigated the course in 102 strokes. Mrs. R. c. Greenlease of Kansas City, was not quite so good as these in sailing the inundated links, taking 104.- Mrs. Myra Helmer Pritchard, Battle Creek, Mich, who won the title several years ago, when rubber boots were not re- quired, had to take 105 strokes today. k Although the women's western tournament has experienced a deluge on qualifying day for three years, con- ditions have never been so bad as to- day. A torrent of rain fell last night, making a lake several acres in extent through the middle of the course. By starting time this morning much of this water had drained away, and after a wait Of two hours the players. were started on their circumnavigation of the links. No sooner had the first pair got we'll started than rain began to fall hard, soaking the competitors. A high wind soon blew across the course, swishing the rain drops into the faces of the players. The rain finally ceased late in the afternoon, but the course still was so sodden that the women pre- sented sorry sights when they reached the club house with scores that disap- pointed most of them.
 Course Slippery
 So slippery was the oozy turf that a couple of players in making the swing lost their footing and fell in the mire, but in spite of all these adventures and disappointments every one of the 152 players stuck it out and finished equal ly covered with mud if not with glory.
 Pairings for tomorrow included:
 Miss Burns and Miss Francis Had field, Milwaukee; Mrs. Gaut and Mrs. B. c. Stevenson, Indianapolis; Mrs. Let's and Mrs. Geismer; Mrs. Rein hart and Miss Dorothy Klotz, Chicago.

Poor Weather Conditions Mar Opening Day's
 Play-Fifty Players Compete For Titles

Jack Simpson and Jat': Mooney led the Atlanta display on the debut aft ernoon. They came through in easy fashion in two doubles matches, while in the singles they won in stragiht sets, losing two games and one game in the sets, respectively.
 As for the local artists, Lee Alien Brookes won 60, 6-1 over Draytoh Nabers, another local boy, and was never extended. Ray Lange did not play, but will take the field for the first time this aftrenoon. One of the most hotly fought battles of the aft ernoon came in the doubles when Rush Simpson and Paul Bowron, local youths, went down to defeat before W. s. Pearce of Atlanta, and s. $. Simpson, after winning the first set After this set, rain stopped the match temporarily, and when 1t was resumed, Bowron and Simpson appeared to have lost the stride which had carried them through at first. Pearce's service was the largest factor in the victory. Bowron and Simpson played even sensationally at times on the offensive, but their de- fense was weak.
 The longest sets of the day were those in the P. J. Woodson and l.. NJ. Shadgett vs. A. B. Anderson and E. J. Clinton match. The first went to 7-5 and the second 9-7 before Wood son and Shadgett won by nosing out triumphs in each set.
 Favorites, according to followers of the tournament, for the singles title were Murray, Craig Brookes and A. M. Kennedy of Atlanta, with Jack Simp- son, Mooney. Pearce, Newton, Lange and others considered just q fraction of an eyelash below. Kennedy, one of the finest all-around performers in the meet, did not play Monday. His first showing today will be awaited with

Featured principally by poor weather conditions and the size of the com peting field, the Cotton States tennis tournament yesterday got under way at the Country club courts. With ap' proximately 50 entered in the singles and as many in the doubles, the finals in neither will be played before Satur- day of this week. There were no up- sets in the opening days play.
 Today's competition, beginning at 2 o'clock, will be limited exclusively to the singles, as the doubles are much further advanced and itfis desirable to keep them as nearly apprOximated on number as is possible.
 Spectacular work by the New Or leans representatives, who now loom as the probable majority honors win ners, stood out over the other aspects university star and southern intercol- legiate champion, startled the galleries by the prettiest exhibition of the day when he won two love sets in the sin gles and swept through, with his part her' MAlS NeNton, two uouDieS match- es. They whipped Bob Young and Wal lace Hall of Montgomery in straight love sets and then easily spanked Roy Jones and James Yates, who had just beaten l.. R. Harrell and Raleigh Jen- kins.
 However, Murray's brilliance was very nearly equalled by other Crescent City luminaries. Robert Craig, New Orleans Country club champion, fresh from victory in his clubs finals over Murray, and Allen Higgins defeated A. c. Denton and Thurmend Harris in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, and are favored Ey many for the doubles title. Their play is not of the sparkling, grand stand type, but it is of the efficiently cooperative sort that usually wins.

Scores were 1 to 2 and 21 to 17. At chison won the first game with ap- parent ease but Wertheimer made it more interesting for the local cham pion in the second contest.
 Atchison's dazzling serivec and his speed in the back court featured the tilt. The players both showed keen knowledge of the game and gave the fair sized crowd thrills all the way. Wertheimer is recognized as one of the best players in the south. Atchi- son has defeated star players for the past five years.
