M'GINTY TO HAVE BIG
 CHANCE ON MONDAY
Billy Brown Has Whipped Conqueror Of Local Boy-kelly-Burk Engagement Predicted
 As Hot One-Big Wrestling Show

turn match between the two over a longer route. This week they agreed to an eight-round duel and the going promises to be fast and furious when these two lads get together.
 A wrestling carnival will also do much to entertain the fans tomorrow night. Kid Lott and Young Adolphus have a grievance against each other. They have decided to tussel 1t out over the ten-round route, and some fancy holds and eendoAs will no doubt be through. The inimitable Tom Lacey has also agreed to take on the Masked Marvel in ten rounds of mat pastiming.
 Heayies Clash
 Quite a feature of the Monday night show promises to be the heavyweight encounter. Ever since Bigboy Edwards ran out of a match with him two weeks ago, Bigboy Crockard has been strain ing at the leash and impatient to get into action. As a light-heavy, Crock ard believes he has the stuff that will take him far in pugilism. The trouble so far has been that B. A. c. officials could find no one who wanted to take him on. This week they got in touch with Kid Harper, another light-heavy who resides in Roanoke, Ala, and Har- per expressed willingness to come on to Birmingham and meet Crockard on his own stamping grounds. These two will wage four-round warfare.
 Tony Mareno and Kid Rich have also been booked for four rounds. And all in all, it promises to be the most enter. taining card of the year. The manage ment has stated that the tickets would go on sale Monday morning at the club box office.
