CLAUDE WILSON
 REACHES HERE Little Feathers Come Back Reaches Climax
 Monday

Claudio Wilson, Birmingham's own, returned to the Magic City Monday aft ernOon from the east where he has been engaging in bouts the past few weeks and adding new laurels to his brow. A little over year ago Claudio looked like one of the best feathers in the country. Then, something happened to him. With no ring reverse to knock the skids from under his confidence, and minus quar- rel with his manager, he suddenly de- termined to quit the ring. No sooner sald than done; Claudio sank into pugi- listic oblivion. s6 Now, however, Claudio has his face pointed to the sun once again, and his recent victories at Paterson, N. J., show that he is well on his road to comebackville. Confident that he has reached the crest in physical fitness once again, Wilson returns to the south land seeking revenge
 It will be remembered that some few months ago the lure of the ring again attracted Wilson and he went over to Columbus, Ca, fully expecting to knock the block off Boots Antley. Discredit- ing the records that Antley had kayoed Freddie Boorde twice and had also landed haymaker on Lukie Tener and other good boys, Claudio swaggered into the ring to get the surprise package of his life.
 From the gong he realized that Ant ley was not only giving him trouble, but that he was actually beating him making a monkey of him. This gave Claudio more serious insight into the boxing game than he had ever had be- fore. Up to that time he hadn't realized the importance of steady training. Ham mered around the ring, heaten,i every round, in the sixth Claude'si second tossed in the sponge and Antley took unto himself technical knockout.
 Smarting under the humiliation of that defeat Claudio returned to Bir- mingham and went to training in earn est. His success in three fights in the east has instilled him with the old con tldence and he returns to Birmingham on the special mission of reaping re- venge against Antley when the two fight it out over the ten-round route in the B. A. c. arena next Monday night.
 The coming affair has attracted more attention and created more interest than any ring affair ever held in Birming- ham. The chances are that record crowd will be on hand for the festivities when the local pride and the Columbus clouter start mixing it next Monday night.
 Dave Evans announced Monday. shortly after the arrival of Wilson in town that he would take Claudio down on the Warrior river and there estab- iish training camp for him where he would remain a day or so before the fight

GIBBONS WILL < SUEtFOR PURSE

LONDON, Aug. 11-This sketch may later have to be entitled "inno- cents abroad" but not if Eddie Kane can help it.
 Kane, who is the manager of Tom my Gibbons who in turn is the con- queror of Jack Bloomfield, whom Gib- bons knocked out last Saturday, has started legal proceedings against J.. Arnold Wilson, who was the promoter, to attach the receipts of the Gibbons Bloomfield fight.
 The light, it develops, was a sport ing success but a financial flop, and Gibbons, who was promised 0,O0O, has thus far received less than $15,O00, and if they think American heavy. weights are suckers over here-well just ask Eddie Kane.
 Bankruptcy proceedings against Will son initiated before the fight may leave the American fighter and others who did not receive the stipulated purses out of luck. It was not known until Kane moved to obtain the balance of Gib- bons' fee that the promoter was in the shadow of bankruptcy. It is said that under the circumstances Gibbons and the other fighters may not obtain their money.
 There were 60,O00 customers at the fight, but on account of the general and well-justified agreement that they would not have to stay long, it seems that tremendous majority occupied five-shilling seats.
 The expenses of the bout are estim- ated at slightly more than $135,OO0- much more than the probable receipts.
 Bloomfield, who was to get S"O,O00, has received the same amount as Gib- bons.
 Perhaps Bloomfield feels he shouldn't t ask for more, but in addition to Kane's action, several of the preliminary fight CTS are starting similar proceedings fo amounts ranging from $500 to $1,00O.
 Mir. J. Arnold Wilson could not be reached all day long. Eddie Kane and Tommy Gibbons hope that he has been visiting some heavy sugar packers.

HELEN WILLS EASY WINNER All Favorites Win In First Round Of Ma
 tional Tourney

$ FOREST HILLS, l.. l., Aug. H. Playing a most sparkling game of ten his, Miss Helen Wills, the beautiful young Californian, who holds the na- tional and Olympic women's titles, ran away from Mrs. l.. c. Beaupre, the Canadian star, in the opening round of the 1924 women's national championship Monday. Miss Wills is defending the national honor which she won on the same courts year ago from Mrs. Molla Mallory. In just 26 minutes of actual play, Miss Wills de- feated the former champion of Quebec, 60, 6-0. Mrs. Beaupre carried two games to deuce but that was the best she could do. .4
 Miss Mary K. Browne, of California, a champion F years ago, who is re- turning from retirement, won from Mrs. S. H. Wsring, of New York, 6-1, 6-2. Mrs. Mallory had an easy time disposing of Miss Caroma Vim, of New York, 6-1, GO. Miss Eleanor Goss, of New York, was not exerted to win from Miss Marguerita Ginn, of Boston, 6-1, 6-2, and Mrs. Marion z. Jessup, of Wilmington, Del, a mem Der of the American Olympic team, won from Mrs. Bronson Batchelor, of New York, GO, GA.
 Except for the Wills-Beaupre match the sport was lifeless, and intensely uninteresting. There were only few hundred spectators and they were lonesome in the huge concrete stadium. Miss Wills was the only one of the stars who was called on to meet an op- ponent of high class, but she was in absolute command from the start. The side-line jury agreed that if Miss Wills maintains the strokes, pace, control and judgment that she dis played Monday, she is certain to win the title again.

 Miss Wills 444-444 24-6.
 Mrs. Beaupre 120-122 so.

RENAULT BEATS MADDEN IN BOUT Canadian Decisively Out points Irish Heavy In
 Fifteen Rounds
By WESTBROOK PEGLER. Leased Wire to The Age. Herald.

RINGS1DE, QUEENSBORO STA DIUM, NEW YORK, Aug, 11.-Jack Renault, the French Canadian, who used to hammer gravel as patrolman on the Montreal police force, tried to subdue tough Irish fellow named Bartley Madden in this ring Monday night, but found the job too big for him and eventually had to leave his man to be taken by some more de- termined officer, although he won, the judges decision after the full 15 rounds.
 Unable to lay Madden cold with solid clouts of the same fists that snapped the whalebone legs of Floyd Johnson and sent that sturdy brawler crashing to the carpet, Renault tried to bleed his man to death. He almost succeeded, for Madden squirted red ink all over himself and his adversary and was weak, dizzy and reeling at the close of the fifteenth and final round. But the war of attrition should have started in the first round 10 be successful and Renault made the error of holding his drum-fire until seven spasms had been enacted,
 Spills Much Gore.
 It seemed a cheap occasion for the spilling of hero's gore because Mad den is credited with war record dat ing from Canada's first mobilization and the other fighters say he still car ries a hidden scar of a boyonet thrust that put him in a military hospital for several months.
 This fight proved nothing. The propo- sition was this: If Renault stopped NfoIJnv. khn1 Dnuaufh xvaS O Uraa f fighter and entitled to a slam on the Dempsey. But if he failed then he was just another one who couldn't knock out Bartley Madden.
 Bartley himself didn't figure aAy- where in the reckoning. He was just the fellow who was to take licking whether he finished on his feet or in one coroner's wicker-basket.
 Finished On His Feet.
 He finished on his feet, but most likely some one had to tell him as much, because his own impressions of the occasion were seen. through crim- son cascade that started from gashes over both eyes, gathered more volume from divots on both cheeks and made a confluence lower down with freshets from nose and mouth. He struggled through the last round, a crimson fury, a heavyweight Bat Nelson, daffy on his feet and boring in under the brave urge of instinct. His body was painted the color of fire engines and Renault was splotched and streaked from their body-to-body impacts.
 Madden is a poor, hopeless trial horse with no punch, mo skill, no past and no future. st-,t
 Renault is just another. one who clouted and Hailed and lacerated him until his arms grew tired and his reso- lution faltered.

UNION LABEL
LAW TEST MAY
BE INSTITUTED
Attorney for Editorial Associ-
alton Appears Before
Printing Commission
BIDS ARE RECEIVED

John +. Sullivan of Mandan, as at
torney for the North Dakota Editor
ial Association and representing at
the time the interests of Walker
Brothers of Fargo, served notice on
the state printing and publication
commission at it's meeting late yes
terday that steps probably would be
taken to test the Union Labe. Law,
under which the typographical union
label is required to appear on all
state documents. S. S. Mcdonald
and Charles L. Crum, attorney, ap-
pearing for the Bismarck Typogra-
phical Union, resisted any consider
alton of bids for printing from nom
union shops.
This was the only furry at the
session of the printing commission
which sat yesterday to receive and
tabulate biennial bids. No awards
were made nor will be until Frank
Milhollan, member of the commits
sion, returns to the city. He was
unable to be present at the session
yesterday.
Mr.. Crum started the ball rolling
by insisting that all bids from non
union shops be rejected without be-
ing opened. Mr.. Sullivan retorted
that the bids should be received and
intimated strongly that the validity
of the law would be tested.
President Dodson Of Walker Broth
ers, in reply to suggestion made by
Commissioner of Agriculture and La
bor j A. Kitchen that non-union
bids be rejected, said that he insist
ed upon his bid being opened and
read, and especially letter accom-
panying it.
Thomas Hall, chairman pro tenn OF
the commission, settled the issue by
stating that all bids would be re-
ceived, opened and read and any ie-
gal formalities that might follow
could best be settled in the Attorney
Generals office. This action prevail
ed and the bids were read. Some
very close bids resulted. Firms bid
ding included Walker Brothers,
Knight Printing Company, Fargo;
Globe Gazette, Wahpeton; Normand-
en-, Grand Forks; Quick Print and
Tribune Company, Bismarck.
Adjournment was taken until next
Wednesday, at p. m. when contracts
will be awarded.

TEACHING LOAD
SC0NSlDERED
State Board of Administration
Faces Problem of Keeping
Down Expenses

The State Board of Administration
is considering the matter of asking
educational institutions in the state
to increase the teaching load four
hours Il week so as to avoid the ne
cessity of engaging new instructors
to take care of the increased enroll
ment, R. B. Murphy, chairman of the
board, said today.
The matter already has been dis
cussed with Dr.. j. l.. Coulter, presi
dent of the Agricultural College; DR..
George Mcfarland, president of the
sMinot Normal, 'and President Allen
of the Valley City Teachers College,
and will be discussed with other in
stitution heads within the next two
weeks. All of those with whom the
proposition has been discussed have
expressed willingness to cooperate
to the fullest extent with the beard
in efforts to enforce the most rigid
economy in the conduct of the state S
institutions" Mr.. Murphy said.
'All of the educational institu-
tions during the past year reported
greatly increased attendance over all
previous records and agree that the
coming year will bring still further
increases in enrolment" he continu-
ed. "The board has given consider
able attention to the question of ELI
minating or consolidating small
classes in the institutions and be-
licves by doing this and increasing
the teaching load of instructors the
general efficiency of institutions may
be maintained at high Standard
