Local Irishman Finds Tough Opponent In Atlanta
 Fighter

Johnny McGinty, battling young Birmingham welter, found a tough opponent in Larry Avera, Atlanta veteran, Monday night at the Bir- mingham Athletic club and won his decision by the barest of margins. With a fight schedule for Wednes- day night in Atlanta with Battling Budd and another for Friday night here with Chick Branch, Young Mo- Ginty, with orders to, reserve his strength as much as possible, came near to losing on points to the shifty Atlantan, who, with a tantalizing left, gave the local boy a deal of trouble.
 Although there was seldom much weight behind that left jab to the nose, 1t was enough to worry Nc Ginty and throw him off his direc- .tfon on his blows. With an occasion al steamy wallop and little real slugging the Atlanta boy put up the best fight of any batt1er seen in &C., tion against McGinty here.
 Johnny, on the other hand, allowed the bout to run it's course, with not a great amount of mixing until late in the fight. It was not untfI e1e ninth that Jack Bodine unleashed the lighting Irishn.an, and, with the short end of the points against him, McGinty went in to win. The last two rounds were his best, and it was SHoJ eo SOC tHdl ho was DdItflNB III his own sphere. Slugging with heavy rights and lefts, he had Avera in a bad way before the middle of the round was up. A stiff, straight left to the face straightened Larry up, and this was followed by a rain of rights and lefts to face and body that had the Atlanta boy on the ropes.
 The ninth round was a little more even and Larry was in hetter shane although this frame also went to Mo Ginty by big margin, as the Geor- gla boxer used only defensive tactics
 In the preliminaries Kid Lott threw Moreno two straight falls in the wrestling bout. Tn the first box ing number Horace Pratt won on a foul from Young Adams. John Dee won decision over Henry Ford in four rounds and Rick knocked out Woods in about three seconds. Har- ris and McClendon fol ght a slow six round draw, but Red Burke and Young Battling Kelley fought a bloody battle in six rounds that was also called a draw.

HOOVER WARNS ENGINEERS

NEW YORK. - Unless engineering
effort in the public service is central
lied, we shall go back into the Dark
Ages, Secretary Herbert Hoover OF
the Department of Commerce says in
an outline Of engineering progress,
addressed to the engineers Of the
country and made public by exGov-
ernor James Hardness Of Vermont,
new president Of the American Engi-
neering Council.
The national will not have the full
value of the engineers mind and
method Of thought until new gener-
alton of engineers of wider individ-
ual attainments than the profession
now affords comes into existence, says
Secretary Hoover.
Outlining general plan Of educa-
ton for the council, of which he was
the first president, the secretary says
he feels that perhaps the engineer
stands between great conflicting
forces, and especially between capital
and labor.
