JOHNNY M'GINTY WINS IN BOUT WITH BATTLING BUDD'
lrishman's Slugging Too { Terrific For Atlanta Bat-
 tier In 10-Round Bout

Johnny McGinty, local weltsr- weight. launched his ring career Tuesday night in the Birmingham Athletic club ring by winning de- cision from Battling Budd of At-j ,1anta, in a 1o-round bout. Although the bout was a slow wsexhibition4exeep when McGinty rushed his opbo4snt it was clearly the tlocal b0vss battle. He did most of the rushing and kept the fight going while Budd was hold- ing much and stalling in the last round or two.
 I Few heavy blows were landed but practically all of them were from the gloves of McGinty. Once he knocked Budd off his feet with a terrific left to the head when the Atlanta boy was off his balance. Again he drove him into the right with a straight left to the face and often rushed his opponent into the ropes with right and left blows. @
 Budd showed more -science on sin- fighting and more ring generalship then McGinty but could not withstand the, Irishman's rushing two-fisted at tack. s t,st, Al < The. first three rounds were slow affairs and neither boxer landed . Hodpy OioWs hC taoS PdA ' VI ttiS- tAAAA " McGinty drove in with rights and leftss to Budd's stomach. McGnty's attack was somewhat centered at the Atlanta battler's stomach and his left to the head were, also effectivs.
 The fourth and fifth rounds were the. fastest of the ten and McGinty started his s1ugging attack. The Geor- gia battIex stood up to him for awhile but the milling was too ter-l rife for him and he sresorted more to defensive work. s.s s> v
 The remainder of the bout was slow and confined to boxing. The Atlanta boy showed little eSaggressiveness and McGintyz was forced to take the of-- Lfensive throughout.
 E Tn the preliminary bouts Kid Lott and Houng Adolphe wrestled eight rounds to a draw. Young Rich won out over John Dee is terrific slug gink battle. Pat o'Reilly and Larry Broderick slugged until neither could do more than lift a hand and stagger around the ring and at the end of the fourth round the bout was called a draw. Petey fSarron spotted Nor rfs Pratt of New Orleans, about 20 pounds and licked him in exhibi- ton bout. Big Boy Edwards lost on foul to Spark Plug in the third round of their six-round bout on a foul. It was a terrific blow to the Nstonach that was questioned. The lick, knocked Spark Plug into help. 1esSu eS8. F y tL. {tGFt5 l

When the Milford stage came in

I.oge Belden. He had doubtless
learned of the abrupt departure of
Hopkins the evening before.
He shuffied up to the post-off1ce win

threw him out a letter. He stared af
it hard; thrust it into his pocket I'M

he ran at top speed, well back from
the brow of the bluffs, as far as the
deserted cabin of dead Henry Spen-
GER; picked his way out to the edge of
the cliffs and peeped down at the road.
Loge Belden was just coming into
sight.
AS he came even with the cabin he
stopped; glanced in every direction;
whistled. The whistle was answered
from within the cabin-another fact
thn voodSman had counted on. ReIdnr
vaulted the fence, ran up.the yard and
pushed open the door. Jack crept up
to the corner of the cabin where the
chink was out between the logs.
Beldenp had just opened his letter;
Black Bogus was stopped over him.
Belden, as he read, suddenly uttered
low exclamation.

"An' Their wusn't nothin' under the

to the wall. Loge dropped back to the

The man crouched on the outside of
the window pondered what he had
seen ard heard He looked eagerly
for the outfit with which they made
their spurious money-that was the
one big reason, in fact, that had
brought him. He saw no trace of it
the hint dropped by Hopkins in the
little park that they had printed a
plentiful supply before coming up the
river was doubtless true, and that
meant practically the absence of any
very substantial proof
He recalled what Hopkins had told
Black Bogus about the large amount
of money still in the safe at the red

would now suppose. They would be
almost certain to make some attempt

In his brief glance over the interior
of the cabin, the woodsman was struck
by the fact that the place was neat
and clean. Mean as 1t was, it bore
the mark of orderly hands doubtless

the window.
The cabin settled still. The outlaws
on the farther pallet began to breathe
heavily. The woodsman prepared to
slip away but suddenly stopped and
brought his ear close to the slit under
the sash-the mountain girl was cry
