DIXIE CHAMP READY
 FOR IO-ROUND BOUT
Finley Expects Tough Battle From McKeesport
 Boxer On B. A. C. Sport Card

Jimmy Finley, in the city and In good shape, says he is ready for Joe Moore tonight on the Birmingham Athetic clubs athletic program. Jimmy s4z1 he has been getting a liberal e4et4tion in the art of pushing the N46d1d faStts in a scientific manner during the Ayeriod of his absence from lhe city and thinks he can show the fans A few of his lately acquired new tricks at the expense of. Mr. Moore.
 Finley, however, ia not an oyercon- hdent young man by any means and sayss that Moore made q big hit in Louisville, Jimmy's home town. Moore battled three times there, including among his opponents, Young Jack Dill lon whom he whipped, and won con- siderable popularity. He is a clever boxer, if Finley's word can Dc accepted as authentic, and the welterweight champion of Dixie Is anticipating no mere workout when he encounters Moore.
 Finley On Tour
 Since Finiey's last appearance here, when he fought John McGinty some months ago, he says he has been up in Cincinnati and points east. The gen tiemen who pursue their trade with the leather and horsehair there put up q different battle from those who per- form in southern zones, habitually, says Finley. When boxer steps into the ring with an customer he can stick up his gloves and get ready for some fast milling and clever boxing--- no slugging, it's not stylish.
 So Jimmy will battle the Mex Ices port terror with all these points in mind and will bring to bear his recent study in fistics. He will dispay wares brought back from the east, even as westerners in the medieval days brought back enlightened methods of
 Moore Is Good
 As for Moore Finley states that he has never. seen him in action but that from his reputation he ia an exceed

ingly clever, young man. The fact that he whipped Young Jack Dillon will readily convey this fact to the fans who saw Dillon fight Herring here.
 The boat, from all methods of cal culation in futuFities, is balanced up as 60-50 procedure and toss-up for the winner.
 Much interest has been shown in the fight here for Finley is popular in Birmingham. Back some three or four years ago, when he was getting his start, ke performed frequently in Bir- min9ham and was in manner adopted by the Magic City as its own son. Whenever he fights the fans come out to welcome him again and he gives them their moneys worth at battling. He was busy Sunday greeting old friends and acquaintances around the Athletic club.
 Challenges Winner
 There seems to be quite a bit of interest among Dixie boxers in attempt- ing to take a crack at Finley's crown. Sunday night a missile arrived in the sports department from Camp MeCel- Ian, in which a certain young battler who goes by the cognomep of the Wal. lopinG Wop,' and who ayers he once fought Finley to 10-round draw, chal. lenges the winner of Monday nights bout. The Wop, who seems to be a member of the 22nd Infantry at Camp Mcclellan wants another chance, he says. His manager, Ira D. Hozey, head quarters, 22nd Infantry, sends the challenge. It may be that if the Wop is a walloper, as he claims, that the local club may be able to arrange for him to get walloped, or vice versa.
 Good Prelims
 The preliminary card of Monday nights bill will be one of the best of the year. Eddie, McGinty, brother of Johnny, will meet Bogie Saab in a six-round semi-final bout. Young Tay- Tor and Tom Lacey will stage a ten round wrestling bout and several other encounters are on tap.

Miss, which boasts of an en- tire infield and two Outfielders of Mississippi A. & M., team, counted twice in the fourth on four bingles to take the lead at to 2 and register five more in the following frame on three hits, a walk and two sacrifices, finally defeating Elrod after the Ala bamians had staged a rally in the seventh to count four times on two singles, two doubles and a screaming triple, 9 to 6, on Graham field in free hitting game.
 0. Harper, in center field for Seooba, led the attack at bat with four safe blows in five trips to the plate, while Peewee Howell, at the keystone, his team mate, came in second with two out of three tries. The feature play of the afternoon came in the ninth frame just after Pooly Hubert had tripled with one out, the lone hit secured off Mar lowe. The squeeze play signal was given, but Goat Hale, playing second for Elrod, caught the signal, came into home plate on the delivery just in the knack of time to scoop up the bunt from Leower's bat and double Hubert off third. It brought great applause from the grand stand. Pooly Hubert, University of Alabama catcher, caught a nice game for SeOoba, but he be- came unpopular with the fans by his ragging.

ONEONTA SPLITS
 WITH PULLMAN
Snake Bains Twirls Team To Victory In Second Game

CULLMAN, Ala, June 20.-lSpe. cial. )-Oneonta and Cullman divided their two-game series this week. Gull nan won the first contest handily by the score of 10 to 1. Bill Statham, of Southern league fame, was too much for the Oneonta wrecking crew and let them down with four hits. John Hendricks, Oneonta'p flashy first base nan hit the first ban Statham pitched for home run.
 Oneonta came back with vengeance and with Snake" Rains of Howard college, opposing Lefty" Tanner of Georgia Tech, won 5 to 3.
 The pitching of Snake" Rains was easily the feature of the game. When this boy settles down and pitches base ball for what he's worth, no pitcher in north Alabama will compare with him. Donehoo, Howard, B. H. Bains and Hendricks continued to clout the horsehide for healthy wallops. The Oneonta team, composed of strictly To- cal talent, is making the semi-pro teams in north Alabama hustle for their laurels.
 Cullman plays at Oneonta Wednes- day and Thursday of next week.
