DILLON EASILY WINS
 BOUT FROM M'GINTY
Nashville Boy Takes Eight Out Of Ten Rounds
 In Scrap At Athletic Club

, There was no need of judges Mon day night, though the boxers asked for them when Jack Dillon and John Me- Ginty met at the Birmingham Athletic club arena. There could be no doubt as to who won the fight, even the greenest fan could have seen, for Dill lon, the Nashville novelty, literally hooked McGinty, the local Irishman, to death and made him look like begin ner. The Nashville boy won eight out of the ten rounds, while one may have gone to McGinty and the other might have been called draw.
 Using a right hook to the jaw that was seldom, if ,ever, blocked, Young Jack Dillon rolled up points which, made the bout so one-sided that it was not even interesting. Dillon toyed with McGinty throughout the fight and seemed not to care for his blows. On the other hand McGinty took many wallops on the jaw and seemed not to feel the affects of them.
 Dillon Fast.
 The youngster from Tennessee set too fast a pace of McGinty and the local boy could not keep up. Throwing right hooks with lefts miexd into Me Ginty's face and head; the visiting boxer had an easy time winning the bout, which appeared as just work out for him.
 From the very first round when Dillon came in slugging there was lit tie doubt but that his intentions were to win the bout by a big, margin. He was in the fracas- ats all times though McGinty never failed to come back and was always eager to mix it with his opponent even when gettingA the worst end of it. McGinty was, simply out classed but not cowed for he stayed to the last and strove all the way to land telling blow which would change the tide of battle.
 Dillon rushed as the first round opened and landed a left hook to the face. McGinty blocked three lefts to the head and rushed Dillon onto the ropes. Dillon landed low swinging left to the stomach and followed mo- ment later with right to the head. Dillon was playing on the ropes and landed right to the stomach and left to the face. Dillon blocked three blows to the face.
 Second Round Fast.
 As the second round opened Dillon rushed and shot right at McGinty, who blocked it. He landed right to McGinty's face and a little: later fell on the ropes with McGipty on top of him AIcGinty shot left jab to Dill Ions face and Dillon countered with a left to the face. He hit McGinty with a right to the stomach and a left to the face. He landed a left to the face and little later q left swing to the jaw. This round was fast and fea- tured by heavy hitting.
 Dillon won the third with ease while McGinty took the fourth. In this round McGinty came rushing out with three quick lefts to Dillon's stomach and h right to the head McGinty hit a heavy right blow on Dillon's jaw and

and run around ends rather speedy. Hubert and Whitaker can now down interference for the lighter men. It seems as if 'Bama will have some sturdy backs, judging from the number out for the team.
 Some change may be expected in the line. Two ends must be developed with Hudson and Dandy the only men of experience there in varsity play. Jones and Caldwell are showing great form at snagging passes. and getting down field. Propst is slated for q tryout for end. Kimble and Newton are ex-fresh men who want to play the wings. One can't dope it out this early-they're all showing lots of stuff in the early stages of the game, and some will be better. Newton and Clemens will be thought of q great deal until they do show some of the form those two stars did.
 Sherlock" Holmes has been doing the pivot work, and has been doing it we'll. Holmes is m 1S0-pounder, n graduate of last years freshman team. He was hurt about the middle of the season and relegated to the sidelines. Student dope has him playing center if Propst is sent to a flank position.
 Many other linemen are in camp. Buckler, Camp, Jones, Compton, Ennis, Dismukes, Hinton, Langhorne and about 15 others. Most of last years scrubs are back and look to be much improved.

.GOLDSTEIN WINS
 FROM TOM RYAN
Bantam Champ Holds Title In
 Fifteen Round Bout

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. r., Sept. S.-Abe Goldstein, worlds bantam weight champion, successfully defended his title in a furious 15-round match tonight with Tommy Ryan of McKees- port, Pa, at the Greensboro, A. c. The challenger narrowly escaped a knockout in the thirteenth round,
 Goldstein had wide margin on his opponent. after the seventh round. Pre- yious to this the title-holder fought more of defensive fight, working under wraps and concealing the attack that later carried him to a sweeping victory
 In the thirteenth round Goldstein working from long range, swung his battery of rights and lefts into action and drove the reeling Ryan about the ring on the verge of a knockout. Again in the fifteenth round, it looked like the finish of Ryan, but he gamely mus tered enough resistance to weather the storm and remain upright until the bell.
 Goldstein tonight looked far better than he did against Charlie Ledoux. the French, as when the two met at velodrome' A. C., earlier in the sum- mer.
 Goldstein weighed 116% and Ryan scaled 117.

WADE GETS CRIMSON
 TIDE DOWN TO WORK
Propst And Cohen Lone Varsity Material Not
 In Camp

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept. S.-The arrival of Ben Compton here today left the ranks of the Crimson Tide minus the services this season of only Andy Cohen and Shorty" Propst, both of whom are expected to roll in the latter part of this week, according to the latest word received from them.
 Freshmen players reported last week for practice and Monday afternoon about 30 men of all sizes from all parts of the country were asking uniforms of Coach Vandegraaf. Men enrolled here from New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and many other states of the union, showing the call Alabama has made in the athletic world.
 Coach Wade continued sending his men through a rather strenuous work. out for this early in the season. The men are being put through some speedy movements, and are being groomed for harder work the rest of the week. Scrimmage to a slight extent has been undergone, and heavier scrimmage will be made before many more days pass.

Pete Camp arrived in camp with a surplus of about 30 pounds, but a hot sun and much running is sending him back to the POO mark fast. He is just as fast as he was last year, just as ambitious, and is going to seek berth on the mythical all-southern this year. Camp was good as sopho- more last year. No one can deny that, neither can anyone deny that he should not be better this year. He will again cavort at guard unless Coach Wade should change him to another position. He'll play somewhere.
 Alabama has a sweet-looking bunch of backs out for. this years eleven. Gillis, Hubert, Barnes-if he gets eligi- ble-Whittaker, Brown and McClintock are all letter men that any machine would be proud to have. Hussey, Sal. mon, Cohen and Winslett are good men from the scrubs of last year. And one must not overlook Collier and Wall, of the ex-freshmen.
 All have speed. Three or four have the triple-threat ability that so many backs crave. They can pass, and punt

FAIRFIELD DEFEATS

And only one Fastener set foot on the keystone. Fairfield won, to o, their counters coming largely because Coke Roberts vision became blurred and he was unable to locate the home plate on two different, occasions. his mates then failing him with the hassocks heavily populated.
 Fairfield, by virtue of the win, got the jump in the city elimination series for. the championship.
 Alabama Power also won a game Monday, but Eugene Malone, who took a single opponent. Southern Bell failed to. take the field against the Power men, and Umpire Thompson forfeited to Alabama Power, thereby giving them the titular honors of the Central di- vision.
 Powermen Meet Sloss
 Alabama Power will now play Sloss Tuesday afternoon, on the Sloss field, in the second engagement of the se- ries, with ketona and Fairmont bat ting in the junior series.
 But back to the initial conflict of the series.
 Daddy Vines was the whole show. He gave up but five hits, two of which were punched by Sloss in the third to start the inning. It was the lone threat of the invaders, who were then unable to reach third. Floyd forced Waters at third for the first out, and then Jones smacked i1to double kill ing, setting the Fairfield fans at ease in the only tense moment that the Sloss swatsmiths provided. oy
 Coke Roberts, twirIing for Sloss, did admirably most of the way, but was troubled with two innings which proved to be nightmares. e
 He walked De Armar1 to start Fair fields third stanza, and Vines singled. Then Mcintosh walkeSi, and the bases were clogged up. De Arman scored on a passed ball, and tlfen Roberts gave another ticket, this one going to Bum gartner. Hale whiffed and Vines was ont at the plate on Rogers ground CT, and things looked. considerably bet ter for Sloss. Then something cracked. Godbee sent a fast grounder to the shortfield, and Fallow tossed to Faunce at second for the final out, but Faunce led the ball get away, And Mcintosh and Bumgartner dented the plate.
 Rogers, heavy hitting leftfielder for Fairfield, drove in couple of counters in the seventh, after Faunce had let another throw to the keystone get away from him for still another run. Rog- CTS blow was the only elean-cut drive to score runs during the afternoons entertainment, as both hurlers were working in wonderful fashion.
 Waters, for Sloss, was the only man to get two bingles.. Bumgartner and Fallow, rival shortstops, had big days in their positions, and both handled their numerous chances in excel1Gnt style, &sl sa

BIC POLO GAME | SLATED TODAY
American And British Teams To Play Opening
 Match Tuesday
fBy Assocaited Press. ]

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The opening skirmish for international polo honors between the United States and Great Britain postponed from last Saturday because of wet grounds, is slated to take place tomorrow afternoon at the Meadow Brook club, Westbury, l.. I. Unless the weather again upsets plans for the start of the series for the historic international challenge cup, the game will begin at four o'clock with a colorful crowd of 10000, including the Prince of Wales, as the background for one of the most picturesque of sport spectacles. The second game is sched- uled for next Saturday and a third, which will be played regardless of the outcome of the other two, probably will take place September 17.
 America Favorite
 America's Big Four" will ride into the fray tomorrow an even. stronger favorite than before last weeks post ponement. Instead of benefiting by the few days delay. the British combina- tion suffered fresh misfortune when it's star and captain, Louis l.. Lacey, Anglo-Argentine back, contracted shingles and will be out of the opening lineup. This mishap, the climax of series that has followed the Brit ishers. necessitated an tssventh hour shift in the invaders lineup and fur ther reduced their prospects of vic tory.
 America's quartet, which appeared to have advantages in team play, ag- gressiveness and hitting when the rival combinations were otherwise on an even basis, is expected to score de- cisively in it's defense of the trophy which this country has won four out. of seven times it has been contested for since it first was put up for competi- tion in 1886.
 May Pull Upset
 On the other hand supporters of the British cause are not altogether dis couraged despite the "jinx" that has be- set their prospects. They recall that ten years ago, when the British were accorded little chance, they scored startling upset by taking two straight games and breaking the reign of Amer ica's original famous Big Four" led by Harry Payne Whiteney.

SEAT SALE IS BIG
 FOR FIRPO FIGHT

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Due, perhaps, to the advertising value of the anti fight agitation of Canon William Sheafe Chase and other reformers, the seat sale for the Firpo-Wills fight Thursday night made sharp spurt Monday, ac- cording to Frank Coultry, manager for Tex Rickard. Coultry's own opinion was that the customers had held off buying tickets until they were certain that Firpo would not be deported be- fore Thursday.
 The big Argentine boxed four rounds with Jack Townsend and Bill Tate Mon day afternoon. Townsend spared with Flrpo but Tate tried to school him against the grabbing and hugging tactics of Harry Wills, whom Tate has fought several times. Firpo and Tate did not strike blow but wrestled and mauled throughout their two rounds and Firpo seemed pretty we'll able to break the body grasp of Wills as initiated by Tate.

WILLS BELIEVES
 HE WILL WIN

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y., Sept. 8. Expressing complete confidence in the result of his match with Luis Angel Firpo, ArgentinesssN heavyweight, on Thursday night %f4arry Wills closed his training campaign today and pre- pared to leave for New York, where he will rest until Thursday evening.
 Wills is familiar with Firpo's style of fighting, having seen the Argentine in three of his big fights, including the hectic battle with Jack Dempsey. The negro, believing that the battle will be brief, said today that he would fight FirpO at the latter's own game, en- deavoring to batter him into submis- sion as quickly as possible.

NEW TYPE OF GOLF.
 BALL TESTED OUT
British Stars Find New Ball
 Goes Six Yards Shorter
NEW TYPE


 NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The new type of golf ball under consideration has been given tryout at the Ma tional Links at Southampton by mem bers of the British Walker cup team. A tournament yesterday resulted in the discovery that there is only siv yards to hit the present standard ball and the difference in the distance it is possible new ball, which is larger and lighter.
 The ball used in the tournament was 1.6S inches in diameter and weighed 1.55 ounces. The present standard ball is the 1.62-1.62.
 Cyril Tolley, captain of the British team, with a favoring wind, made a drive of PA yards with the new ball and 2S0 yards with the standard size. Against the wind he got 264 yards with the new and 270 yards with the old.
 W. c. Fownes, former United States champion, said the new ball did not re- spond to half-hit shots like the one in general use now. All the players noted greater height with the new variety.

Lack of Fight
Keeps Meusel
From StardOm
BY NEA Service

New York, Dec. 6.N"If Bob Meu-
sci Of the Yankees had the fight and
the ambition Of his brother Irish Of
the Giants, he would be one Of the
greatest out-ficlders in the history
of the game" says Manager John
McGraw.
The compliment to Meusel came as
the result of a discussion of great
outfieldcrs, past and present. In
speaking Of Meusers play, the eX-
perts always tackled on an If, re-
ferring, of course, to his lack of fire.
"Meusel has the ideal build for an
outfielder", continues McGraw, "the
regular greyhound type. He's fast,
has the greatest arm in the history
Of the game and is always dangerous
at the plate.
"It is only his careless, seemingly
Indifferent style that keeps him from
being mentioned in the same, class
Of stars as Speaker, Cobb, Roush

New Super Station
Soon To Go On Air
BY NEA Service

BY NEA Service
Los Angeles, Dec. 16.-One of the
first stations to take advantage Of
the high-power increase in broad.
casting will be XII.
Plans have been completed to in
augurate the enlarged station here
today, when the new 500O-watt
transmitting apparatus will be tried
out for the first time.
The new station is licensed under
the present law to operate ut 1000
watts. But as an experimental IL
cense has been furnished it, broad
casting will be done on 1900 watts
power, and the station will have the
reserve supply up to 5000 watts, if
no interference results.
Step BY Step
This follows the suggestion of the
recent radio conference at Washing
ton that high-powc stations be per-
mitted to broadcast on power higher
than 1000 watts, provided they do
not interfere with local reception
On an experimental license, such
stations may advance their power
500 watts at time, and continue
on under strict supervision of the
radio inspector
Installation Of the new transmit
ter will mean an investment % Of
about $125,00O additional to the
amount spent on the present 500.
watt equipment and studio. The
operating cost will average about
$500 month, it is estimated.
More Room
To take care Of the increased
power, the towers have been raised
an additional Is feet, giving them
total height of 225 feet above the
street level. Three more rooms have
been added on the roof of the build
ing and further facilities for broad
casting have been installed.
"The new set handles much
wider band of higher and lower
tones," explains Earle C. Anthony,
owner of XII, "and their finer grad
uation may be picked up by the pub
Tic. The vast reservoir of power will
allow not only a greater range of
audibility, but will insure better
quality" -1
