SCRAPS ]. FINLEY MONDAY Great Card Offered Sum Tner Boxing Fans At
 @As v"

There are two things that Young Jack Dillon of Nashville must do if he is to beat Jimmy Finley in the10-rouId bout, scheduled for the Birmingham Athletic club Monday night. He must get through the Finley defense and withstand the ,rata-tat-tat of the famous Finley iron-dukes, known from Louis vile to Miami.
 If he can do these two things, he will no doubt wrest the Southern welt scrweight crown from it's present holoer and do a thing that no other southern boxer has been able to do since Finley entered the professional game.
 Finley has a great defense which in- cludes shifty footwork that makes him a hard foe to get to and hard man to hit sOlidly He is of great bodily shoulders and arms, which put Q great driving power in his blows. His fists are like iron, square in shape and hard to withstand. In all his fights he has never suffered an injured hand, which is rare indeed in the fight game. /
 billion, with all his t0ughness and caparity for punishment, will do well to stand the Finley attack. If he not only stands the Finley attack, but goes through the Finlex defense, he is truly deserving. Finley packers say that to talk thus is to speak of the impossible. But miracles have happened before and 1t may be miracle time in Birmingham Monday night; fate alone can tell D.
 The preliminary card to go with this dish of ring food is ready and the YRri ois principles are in good shape anE eager for meeting time. On whole .tha are old foes, and keen to win in the fl
 vor of the public with victories ov
 each other. Red Burke and Toy Moreno are among the favorites on ge card, with Big Boy Edwards and Steky Sarron listed among those who yill fight. E,.5

SCORING
 AT CLUB SHOOT Lon Munger And Tyler
 KnOtted On Fifty Targets

The first 50-target match at the Bir- mingham 0lin club yesterday resulted m q tie between Lonnie Munger and M. c. Tyler, who broke 49 each. Munger ran 48 straight and dropped his forty seventh target. Tyler dropped his ff- teeAth target and broke the rest. Sec ond place in this match was also q tie between Person Moore and l.. IL. Steph- enson with 47 each. while third place saw yet another tie between 4. v. Matthews and ] IF. Dovel with 46 each. The I00.target race was won by iLonnie MsinEer, who dropped but two targets, going out with the splendid 0. Tyler with but one target less, break- ing 97. Third place in. this race was still tie between J. P. Dovel and A. ". Matthews, with 94 each. NJ c. Tyler made the longest run for the aft ernoon, going out with 54 straight LJn- nie Munger made two runs of 46 straight. s
 Those that made perfect scores of 9 each were: Munger, two 25s; Tyler, two; Matthews, I straight of 25. A. ". Matthews made the best score he has ever made on the little !clays when he shuffed out D4. R.C. Brown was only a few targets behind Matthews with the score of 90. Person Moore did not Shoot quite up to his form at the Ala bama state shoot when he broke every thing that flew from the trap. Lonnie Munger can be classed with the real topnotehers in. the shooting game now, as he hits around the 98-mark con sistently and that is wonderful shooting for the real big stars
 J. P. Dovel has climbed from the 85 mark to the 95 mark in about two mon :hs. He has been one of the most consistent shots that the Birmingham Gun club has developed, and he is due to make some nifty scores from now on. l.. l.. Stephenson broke 91 and Steve said that's enough for anyone. Thorn. ton Estes is staging comeback since he got home from his vacation; 90 is a mighty good score. 4. C.. Chesney car ried home a trophy and is steadily climbing up past the. sos. R. Fl. Baugh made the best score he has made in long time. Mir. Turpin is shoot. ing very well after his lay off of some months. Mr. Phillips and Mir. Evans visited the club and shot with the boys. Mir, Shields, a DtPont representative, and n new shooter, is doing nicely for the few times he has shot the little clays.

RACES
 FAIL TO PAY " DevOnshire Races Closed Out After Three
 Days Run

WINDSOR, Ontario, Aug. 2.- Grand circuit racing at Devonshire came to an abrupt end today when the management declared the six-day meet off at the end of the third days pro gram. The reason given for the clos ing the meet was that those in charge did not wish to shoulder the additional loss that they believed would entail if continued.
 The attendance was good but it was not a profitable crowd, and though entries were plentiful, starters were few, it was stated. .e
 One of the best races of the sea son was on today's card when Czar Worthy won out in the Michigan stake. Tn the first heat Czar Worthy and Favonian showed how evenly they were matched, FevoDian being at Czar Worthy's shoulders when the former broke 20 yards from the finish. In the third heat Favonian showed in front before reaching the half but Czar Worthy drew away on the last turn.
 The program opened with the 2:2O trot, when, Sequoia took the race in straight heats. The big chestnut gelding made every post winner in the first heat and repeated in the sec ond. With Sequoia out in the third heat Miss Gloaming trotted away from the others to win for second place.
 Only five pacers started ill the 2;12 class and Phil O'Neil took the first two heats, noses separating the quar- tet behind him in the first heat. In the second heat Phil O'Neil won all the way. -.--

WE KNOW. ASK I1s


 Sir: In recent article by a we'll known authority on golf I found this statement: More money has been spent on golf than on all other sports comblned. In this connection it would be interesting to estimate the average cost per shot of the average player. And even more interesting to dope out the average tax per good shot At least lOO per, l would say. What, if any thing, do you think Arthur J. Kobb.
 Probably more than $100. But a wel-played stroke is cheap at any price. Ask the man who has made one.
 B.. P: Our course is too easy. Would you kindly offer some sugges- tibns for making it sportier. Thanks K L. J.

SLOSS SQUAD GRABS
 FOURTEENTH IN ROW
Alabama Power Wins After Great Struggle M With East Lake Youngsters

.Despite East Lakes brilliantly Courageous fight against the champions Alabama and Southern Bell continued their winning streaks and as a re- suit their positions at the top of the Central division standing remained unchanged. East Lakes. youngsters went down to an S-7 defeat after straining, nerve-racking efforts, while the Telephoners were running wild to beat Sayreton, 10 to o.
 The formidable Sloss- Sheffield By Products representative won it's four teenth straight victory in beating East Birmingham. They dropped one game to Avondale park, but it is understood that they have wiped that blot from the escutcheon through a protest. So they have to their credit the longest victory streak of the 1924 season.
 However, it came only after they had received one of those scares that you read about. Lefty Williams had sefn on his hip for the first five frames and apparently his forksided slants were headed for a win. The Easterners had crawled Dewey Boston for four nuns and, even though Trawick had slnothered the attack, that quartet of tallies appeared every bit of plenty for triumphant margin.
 Then the dam busted. Or rather Williams broke. Seven unsightly looking run marks were tailed against the young southpaw before he was finally removed in favor of Jackson :; and Sloss had copped another one.
 The Eastern division leaders are looming large in the offing for the city title, now. Their spectacular. habit of coming from behind to grab games seemingly beyond recovery. has made their stock steadily 'elevatins proposition and just at present they are certainly very serious obstacles to Fairfield and whenever wins in the Central division.
 There weren't many features Satur- day, with the exception of East Lakes, splendid showing. Ikey Roebuck checked in with another strikeout feat when he sent back to the bench II Stockham aspirants. It will be re- called that he set the years record in this department against the same team when he three-timed 19 of the tail enders
 On the Class B battle line, the situa- ton was unmoved. Central Park vent down in the face of Fairmount's steadily improving all-around game Wylam and Fairmont seem to have the race to themselves, now that the Park CTS have caved in.
