CAMP GRANDVIEW ENCHANTED SPOT

Camp Grandview which is being con- ducted during the months of July and August by the Young Woman's Chris tian Association, is proving more and more popular as the weeks go by. Miss Mary Kate Lewis, is the capable direc- tor of the camp and is doing everything possible for the comfort and pleasure of the girls who spend a week or more at camp. Every weekend a number of business women in the city go out to the camp for a complete vest from the noise and heat of the city and those who have spent a day at this place, say that it is indeed an enchanted spot.

New System of Fat Reduction

Here's a new way for all fat people to laugh together at that old bugaboo Obesity. The saying that ''thero is nothing new under the sun" does not now apply to fat people any more. Here is something new for them-nsw sensation. a new pleasure, a new and graceful figure. easily found by anyone who Is passing beyond the limits of slimness. Everyone has heard of the Marmola Prescription; that harmless combination of fat-defying elements perfected by one of the foremost physicians. Now, from the same high authority. there comes another idea-the Idea of condensing these same, pure, harmless ingredients into pleasant little tablet. Taken after eating and at bedtime, they help the stomach to dis pose of all the fatty foods, converting them into compact. solid flesh, muscle and energy without dieting or exercise.
 Marmola Prescription Tablets regulate the entire System-do for you what bodily exertion and self-denial cannot do, and the fat once routed, is gone for good. You can prove all this at q trifling cost. Marnaolo Prescription Tablets are cold by sil druggists or sent postpaid by the

 The shortest fight I ever heard of and I venture to say. the shortest in history, was between Dal Hawkins and Martin Elaherty. a-A- F
 sPerhap6sI have given the impression that I ftnever was interested in fights prior to the Gans-Nelson affair. did not intend to do so. As reader Of newspapers, Y always was interested Tn boxing and occasionally had a chance ticularly those heldSin the far west.
 The Hawkins-FIa fight was in Carson City, New, the day before the great heavyweight scrap between Fits zimmons and Corbett. Tom Finfay, a Native Son, was in Madison Square Garden with me the other day and told the story again. I did not attend this fight myself; but 1t ought to, be re- peated here.
 Just four seconds after Hawkins came out of his corner, the time required for him to reach the center of the ring and set himself, Martin Flaherty was sprawled on the floor, knocked cold.
 They left their corners simultaneous ly. Arriving in the center of the ring, tie sparring, Hawkins, without any preliminaries whatsoever, shot out his left there Is no doubt but that he Martins jaw for a knockout.
 If there have been quicked fights than that I do not know of them. Someone insisted few days ago that Battling Nelson knocked out a fellow named Ressler in exactly two seconds, but I have no record of it.
 Dal Hawkins. by. the way, was a great little fighter. Had he been able to use his right, hand as he did his left there fs no doubt but what he would have been champion. Dal ac- tpally loved to fight. .
 A Fight in Two Sessions
 Hawkins proved his greatness by licking Joe Cans in 15 rounds, though a little whileo later Cans fought him again. This time the darkey knocked out Hawkins in three rounds.
 Dal Hawkins not only figured in the shortest fight on record but he had the distinction of also figuring in the, longest one. I know there can be no contradiction of that.
 This long fight was between Hawkins and Freddie Brogan. another San Fran cisco boy. The fight lasted two days!
 This will require some explanation, I'm sure. The Hawkins Brogan scrap was at the Golden Gate Athletic club with Eddie Graney as referee. For viciousness no fight ever surpassed it.
 Graney stood in the ring for the first seventy-two rounds and was get tng very tired. He was physically tired as we'll as tired of the fight. At the end of that. round he called the two boxers to the center of the ring.
 "Boys," he said, you've had enough for one night. wen resume this bat tie tomorrow"
 To the amazement of the spectators and to Hawkins and Brogan and their seconds, Graney left the ring.
 Brogan, a game little fellow, started a protest.
 All right" he finally agreed when Graney insisted. "Ill be here"
 Me, too" declared Hawkins, just as eager as Brogan to go on. /

 The Cincinnati Reds have one of the largest lists of unsigned players with four still to affix their signature to con- tracth, The purchase of Carl Mays from the Yankees and Tom ,Sheehan sfromFSt. Paul has bolstered the Red pitching stan.
 Manager McGraw of the Giants has Wayland Dean, Louisville star twirler, as one of his principal purchases. The Yankees resigned most of their team immediately after the 1923 series.
 The Philadelphia Athletics has &C., quired Max Bishop of Baltimore, a shortsopS Paul Strand, Salt Lakes chief slugger' and Simmons, Milwaukee outfielder. By recent player swaps the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland have cleared up most of their uncertainties
 Sisler has disposed of the Urban Shocker case for his club, removing it's principal trouble, while the St. Louis Cardinals have arranged terms with Jefferson Pfeffer, their only regular whose return was doubtful.

Red Herring ] ] In City For ].
 Bout Monday
Boxing Celebrities Predidt Bright Future For Local :
 Boy On Tour In East !

Anticipating one of the tougheSt fights of his career, but apparently confident that he is master of Young Jack Dillon, Red Herring breezed into the Magic City Monday morning and established his training quarters at the Birmingham Athletic club. Herring has been signed to meet Young Jack Dtl- ton in a ten-round return match at tho 8. A. c. Monday night, February II.
 This is to be my last fight in the south, for many moons to come," said Red Monday. "I am shipping for the east, have already made ,connections with good man to act as my manager in my. New York engagements. and he Is enthusiastic over my showing. He saw me lambast Frankie Tucker in Lit- tie Rock about a week ago, and He feels sure that I have a great future in the east" 1
 Red stated that Gene Tunney, Harry Wills and Johnny Dundee came over from Hot Springs for a day or so in Little Rock and saw him in his success- Wills is a typical southern negro said Red and he knows his place. He came by my corner and wished me luck just before I got started CT pummelling Tucker. Gene Tunney also saw me work. and said that I could put some of the good boys of the east away"
 It developed Monday that Louisville, ky, a:.d Canton, o., were also angling for the IerringDillon bout, and thaf the Athletic club had to put. up bik guarantee to get the men back to Bif- mingham. They fought here couple of weeks ago and staged one of tho most sensational fights ever seen here Fans were clamoring for return en- gagement. but each man displayed . hesitancy about returning to Birmine- ham, They wanted to go where there was more money. At this point B. A. C. officials dug down in the strong box and placed healthy guarantee for the two men.
 It is expected that the B. A. c. gym will be damned to capacity next Mon day night when Red and Young Jack start to mauling each other again. Dit- Ion says he Is confident that he cah put Red out for the count this time and that he Is coming to Birmingham for the specific burmese of doinv .eo :
