John :. .McGinty Has Hard Man
 In Brown
Memphis Fighter Said To Be Flash In Arena
 With Gloves On

Johnny McGinty, fast-flying young welter of Birmingham, will be called upon to display his ability in its most all the power that he is capable of putting behind his blows when he meets Billy Brown of Memphis, if reports re- garding that fighter are true. The local Irishman is scheduled for a TO- round bout with the Memphis boxer at the Armory, in the old post office building, next Friday night.
 Brown is said to have the uncanny ability of hitting a man so often that his opponent generally thinks he is wearing two pairs of gloves. The New Orleans Times -Picayune says in an ar- ticle on Brown that he can deliver more gloves in less time than any man of his weight.
 Brown says he can put McGinty away, and such will be his intention when he goes into the ring. Fans who have watched the rise of McGinty have noted his -ruggedness. Few fighters that have battled the To- cal boy have been able to even jar him. He has the ability to take punishment and is at his best in the game of take and give, for he can stand toe-to-toe and slug it out with the best of them.
 Red" Herring, popular local light weight, said on his visit here last week, following training setto with Johnny, that McGinty had developed a hundred per cent since he had seen him last. Red" says the local boy has learned a lot of the ring game. But Red" also has worked out with Brown and says he is a wicked 'battler and handful for the best of the ringmen.
 Browns Record
 Brown has been making a good rec ord in the ring and has met some of the leading Dixie boxers. Some of his battles follow:
 Doug Lee, lost decision, eight rounds.
 Red" Green, won decision, eight rounds.
 Johnnie Stanley, won by knockout, 10 rounds.
 Otis Bryant, won decision, 10 rounds. Jimmie Cop, three eight-round draws.
 Chuck Burns, won decision, 10 rounds.
 Tommy Starky, won decision, 10 rounds.
 Tommy Freeman, won decision. eight rounds.
 Franklin, won decision, F rounds.
 Al Joachum, two, 10-round draws
 Dick Adams, won decision, 10 rounds. A good preliminary card is being arranged for the fight. The ring has been raised about three and one-half feet off floor level and will make it possible for everyone to witness the fight closely, despite their position in | the building.
 Tommy Mulrennan, who is promoting the fights, has announced that he in- tends starting stable for preliminary boys in gymnasium to be equipped this week. He plans to corral all local boxing material that is not already af- filiated with some other club and give them a chance to train, and the ones wishing bouts can have them arranged for through the club. In this manner preliminary boys will always be ob- tainable, and with headquarters estab- lished for them out-of-town promoters will know where to get in touch with any of them for a bout.

To Q, Be Largest
 Ever Held
Expect More Than 100 Dogs To Run In
 Annual Event

Indications are that the greatest strictly amateur field trials that has ever been held in this country will pe staged when the Alabama Amateur Field Trials club starts it's annual trlas at Courtland, Ala, February-4. Offi- cials of the club are of the opinion that at least 100 dogs will be entered, and dogs from every section fer all of the stakes are included.
 At least 25 of these entries are ex- pected to come from Birmingham, of which some will be entered in all stakes. Some. nationally known. dogs. are located in Birmingham, and the cream of the class in many events is expected to come from this city. '
 The program consists of the puppy stakes, derby and all-age stakes. The puppy stakes entry list is limited to all pointer or setter puppies whelped on or after January, 1923, and belong ing to amateur members of the club, and which have never won place or been carried back into the second se- ries of any stake of what is known as the "big circuit" The first series heat will be 20 minutes in this stake and the second series heat will be deter mined by the judges.
 The derby is open to all pointers or settlers whelped on or after January l, 1922, and which have never been car ried back into the second series of any stake of the big circuit. The all age stake is open to all setters and pointers, regardless of age.
 Competent judges have been obtained in Dr. P. K. Phillips of Cincinnati and Scott Hudson of Atlanta. These men are rated as among the country's best bird dog judges.
 Increased interest has been shown in raising and developing puppies in Ala bama, according to B. Mccall, secre- tary of the Field Trials club, and the most interest ever shown in a field trial is anticipated for the coming

RICHARDS FIRST SHOT AT
 PROMOTING AT GOLDFIELD
Famous Watcher Of Champions Staged Joe Gans-Battling Nelson Fight On Spur Of Mo- ment And Broke Into Fighting Game,
 Which Made Him Famous

but, as we say in west, we Goldfield fellows had our necks bowed and tails curled and were going like a bull yearling through a peach orchard. We were going to make a success of that fight if everyone of us went broke.
 Fighters Sign
 Nolan agreed to sign up at my terms, and so did Cans. That poor darkey had to make most of his arrangements himself, and, believe me, made it point to see that he got a square deal. If Nolan had been allowed to have his way Cans would have been skinned right down to the gold in his teeth. Nolan was the most eXasperating, dis agreeable man that ever did business with in my life. I will go into more details as soon as I get room.
 The most important matter ,at the start was the building of an arena. Even this did not cut into the money we had guaranteed. I got a concern to furnish the lumber and build it with the understanding that the lumber could be returned when the stand was taken down. Practically the only cost was the labor. My credit was good enough for all that. Not once did I have to call on the men who had guar anteed to see the fight through. Let me explain that I was the actual pro- moter of the fight and was to receive whatever profit came out of it. My friends were simply backing me. I
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-01-28

will explain in a succeeding chapter just how it never cost a single one of them a nickel, except what he spent in celebrating.
 Fame Comes To Camp Out
 The thing that astonished me and began opening my eyes to what I had really done was the arrival in town of newspaper men. As things were get ting under way I noticed a funny looking tent down the street and made inquiries.
 The occupant was Bill McGeehan, the celebrated sporting writer, now in New York. He had come up from San Francisco. With him was Rube Goldberg, now a famous -cartoonist.
 That they should come. to Goldfield and camp out just to write about my fight was amazing to me. In a week or so I got used to that. Two dozen of the writers had arrived. Our town was humming.
 Trouble Starts It was the arrival of Nolan, Nelson's manager, that threw us into high fever. Everything had gone smoothly up to that time. All had seemed sportsmanlike. With him came trouble, constant nagging. Nobody ever had as tough a time getting an even break as did poor Joe Cans.
 That, though, will take another chap ter.

Woman Seeks Fight

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-Perhaps in Germany, where there are women pugilists, Senorita Carmen Lucia de la Rosa may find a. match. but probably never in this country, though she ap- peared recently in this city, presented credentials to show she was a regular fighter in Mexico and told promoters that instead of a suitable female oppo- nent she was perfectly willing to tackle a man of her weight.
 Senorita Carmen said she also was a promoter, and staged the recent Sam Langford-Kid Savage fight in Mexico City.
 The fair boxer is 21 years old, weighs 147 and stands feet z inches. Her nose has been brushed bit to one side; otherwise she shows no marks of her profession.
 "Im considered pretty speedy in the ring" she said.
 But local promoters could give her no encouragement inasmuch as women are not even admitted as spectators at San Francisco bouts

FiUe Nations Enter

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Tive nations are now entered in the European zone matches for the Davis cup. The chal- lenge of Holland has just been received, according to an announcement by the United States Lawn Tennis association, in a letter from Hoyte Veder, secretary of The Netherlands Lawn Tennis Asso- citation.
 Ireland, India, France and Switzer- land are the other European zone en- tries to date, while Australia is thus far the only challenger in the American zone. The entries will not close until March 15, however, and the draw will not be made until one or two days be- fore.
 Holland drew bye in the first round of European zone play last season and made clean sweep of all the matches against Italy in the next. All this was done by two men, c. J. Van Lennep and S.

Firpo Gets Offer

BUENos AIRES, Jan. 27.-(By the Associated Press.)-Luis Firpo, Argen- tine heavyweight, who said yesterday he had rejected a proposal to fight Harry Wills, American negro puglilist, for $200,O00, is reported here to have re- ceived an offer of $250,OOO for a fight to be held at Giant boxing festival" which is to inaugurate a large stadium in the United States.
 Firpo declared today that he had been rendered purse of 30O,0OO pesos by Senor Ratinoff of Santiago, Chile, for bout with the Chilean heavy weight, Romeo, but he had declined because he intends to leave as soon as possible for the United States. Firpo asserted that he did not care what the South American Boxing federation might do in the way of taking away his championship if he does not meet Romero.
