GANS-NELSON FIGHT ONE
 OF GREATEST EVER HELD
Tex Rickard Accounts Great Battle Which He Considers The Most Sensational Bout He Ever Promoted
 During Long Career In Game

, Nelson's face was beaten to pulp. | The negro also was bleeding from the nose and ears. It sure was fierce scrap
 In the last round Cans led off with 1 straight left to Nelson's face. Bat immediately fell into clinch. As they broke Nelson struck Cans a hard up- percut blow in the groin. Cans slowly sank to the floor in great pain. Without hesitation or waiting for a protest. Referee Siler walked over and disqualified Nelson, declaring Cans the winner.
 Cheers for the Referee There is no question in my mind that the foul was deliberate. Anyway, it was "a foul blow that everybody in the great crowd could see. There has been much argument about this. On that afternoon, though. the whole crowd agreed with Siler. The only holler came from Nelson's seconds.
 Cans packers and seconds insist to this day that Nolan instructed Nelson to foul Cans.
 Here is what Referee siler said to me and to those near him:
 "I repeatedly warned Nelson against his unfair fighting and while I don't believe he was deliberately intent up- 1 on fouling Cans in many instances, he was unquestionably guilty of one of the most apparent and uncalled for fouls that have marked the end of any battle. There is no question in my mind that he deliberately struck low, as he was making no headway against Cans.
 Nolan Sore
 That els the whole story in a dig nified unprejudiced way. Then to top off his unpopularity, imagine the final remark made by | Nolan:
 "It was all a matter of the betting The referee was paid to give it to | Cans"
 Siler was loudly cheered. Nolan was hissed.
 Yes, that was the great fight of fights. M | That one taste had started me Yn the game, as I will show

Birmingham Players Strike Snag In Carter And
 Stabler-

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Jan. 29.-(Spe- cial) Carter and Stabler waged point scoring contest here Tuesday night against the Birmingham Athletic club outfit, and in the contest the Birmingham Clubbers fell before the Alabama Crimsons by a score of 43 to 20. Captain Carter was not in the run ming in the first half. He played only part of it. The score being 12 to 4 against the Clubbers when he was taken out. But the little midget McGauly shot five field goals, and Stabler was next with three field goals. In the second half Carter went back in. For seven minutes neither side could send the oval through the loop and then Leake fouled Carter. Carter dropped those two points in and added two more free ones. When the game ended he had added five field goals, a total of IA points for the half and game. Stabler added only two field the little Irishman added two field goals and free one, making Mo Gauly winner of the contest by one point. Incidentally Hudson shot a field goal, and Propst and Salmon free shots. Mandy In Lead
 Mandy led the scoring for the Club bers, with Hahn close second. The score at the end of the first half was IS to 12 for Alabama. Each Clubber had shot two field goals and two free shots. In the second half Mandy dropped in pretty field goal, but Hahn did not.
 The game was highly exciting, the pass work of the Crimsons being un- beatable at times. Leake furnished much opposition to the Crimsons, the former 'Bama star breaking up passes on plays that seemed doomed for goals.
 Mandy and Hahn were everywhere on the offense, but missed great many shots.
 B. A. c. met Alabama when the Grim sons were right. "Slim" Carter may have been the reason, for with the gi- gantic Swede in the game it seemed to move faster. McGauly seemed to be un- erring in his shots, for he roped five out of 13 in the first half and had a better percentage in the second. If such playing continues for the Crimsons it looks like a hard time to beat them.
 The lineup:
 Alabama-McGauly (15), stabler (10), Anderson, forwards: Carter 14), Propst CD, center; McClintock, Hudson (2), salmon CD, Anderson, guards.
 Birmingham-Mandy (S), Hillburn (2) Stevens, forwards; Hahn (6), Montgom- cry, centers; Montgomery @, Leake, Vincent (2l. Stuhha Ql,arda es'

On the line were Langhorne, Buckler Paget, Caldwell, Geigers and other stall warts. This looks like a strong ma chine-a fair 1bacikfield around Brown 1 with heavy line around Langhorne and Buckler.
 Another team that was going great guns were Gillis' Flight Rocks" With the fleet little quarterback that earned the position on the mythical All-South- ern team as the pivot man in the back field, they were hard at work getting their end runs down pat. Cowley Compton and Erwin were other mem bers of the backfield, while the line was built around Pete Camp, "sher- lock" Holmes and "Cube'' Perry Holmes is the "rat" center that was doing such clever work until he in- 3ured his hand in the Alabama-v Van derbilt freshman game.
 One Casualty
 Pooley Hubert's Morning Glories' was the only eleven that reported a casualty. "Sparkplug'e 'eFIinton was the Injured one, a shoulder hurt while showing someone else. how to block And "Sparky'' was grumbling in this manner: Five years around football Field and here I hurt a shoulder to- aay. The injury is not expected to keep him out of uniform long.
 The fourth captain, Hulett whitta- ker, seemed to have had a little trou- ble about getting his men out early . Tuesday, for he had only part of an eleven.

PETITION FOR
DAMAGES FILED
BEFORE CITY GOVT,

At the regular monthly meeting Of

evening a petition was presented by
Redington & Co, 7. Harold Branch,
treasurer, for s525 damages occa-
stoned by the raising Of the level of
Haviland street SO that the store
house Of Redington & Co. would be
flooded in the spring. The matter
was referred to the mayor, board of
aldermen, city engineer and city
solicitor to view the matter and
make a decision. 1t seems that the
level Of Haviland street has never
been set and that it was not accept
ed as a street until 1920. During the
past year the street has been graded
and raised considerably. Several
garages were built in the vicinity at
a level that would make the buildings
all right for the present street level.
1t is probable that after viewing the
property the present level will be
