Joe Nasser has cLxu«.ageu ute . in ner of this bout and both Piombo and Anders, n are anxious to meet Nas ser. “John Piombo weighs 180 pounds,” Promoter Alex Thomas states, “and looks like a real fighter. I looked into his credentials before signing him. Piombo trained with Jess Wil lard and Jim Jeffries. He was in these two training camps, and he must have bee\ a gc. J man or he could not have gotten in. “Piombo has nei t ring such men as Gunboat „.aitn and Jim \ Flynn. i._ has been waging some successful fi"hts in Alabama and Florio and comes here ready for a clean exhibition and a desire, he says, to give Cracker And iron a run for his money. Cracker Anderson weighs and is a good map. You v. remem ber that he met Jack Denham at tne Rylander June 2. Cracker was in no shape to fight that night. With only two days’ training after a .se vere attack of malarn . he went into the ring. Since that night he has been training almost daily and has succeeavd in getting into better phy sical condition. Anderson met Joe Nasser at Albany last week and was given a draw, and Joe is a hard man tc hplrj off.

It has been carefully as sembled and edited in the labora tory of the war department from the thousands of feet of undeveloped negatives taken by official photogra pher in France during the progress of the war. The scenes are entirely new and striking ones, showing for the first time such striking views as the actual sinking of Allied vessels by the famous German U-boat No. 34 in her memorable cruise early during the summer of 1918, when twenty-two large merchant vessels were sent to the bottom of the ocean. With the film is contained, too, the first complete pictorial record of the battle of the Meuse-Argonne, and the great number of Americus people ' who last year attended the showing : of “Flashes of Action” will remember I the very thrilling and historical views lof the battle contained in that re- I markable film. “The Great Adventure” deals with [ the historical romance of the trans ' portation of over two million Ameri can soldiers to the European battle front during the days of 1918. The ultimate triumph of these same men in the crowning victory of the Ar gonne; the pursuit into Germany, and later President Wilson’s dramatic de parture for France are all very vivid- I ly shown in this amazing film. “The Great Adventure’ ’has been I released by the war department in re ' sponse to the numerous requests of ■ Legion posts that these historical j and intensely interesting scenes be ' shown to the American people so that ; they might have an opportunity of seeing for themselves the absorbing drama of the World War in all its stirring realities. Many of the scenes being even more vivid than those be held by the individual combatant whose eyes had never the range nor the faculty of perception of the cam era. Never again without another war will the general public have an opportunity of seeing pictures of battle events which will live in his tory. One cannot afford to miss it. MRS.

PERRY ANNOUNCES TO SUCCEED HIMSELF ATLANTA, June 12.—James A. Perry, member of the railroad com mission of Georgia, has issued his formal announcement of candidacy to succeed himself on the commis sion, and says he is asking re-elec tion “solely on the ground of con structive service rendered.” In that service, he says, he has at all times originated and voted for those rates and policies which I have felt, in con formity to the spirit of my oath and duty were for the best interest and greatest advantage to the whole com munity interested.” Mr. Perry says there is as much injustice to the pub lic in rates which will retard growth and progress, result in embarrass ment and lead to bankruptcy as there is in a rate which is excessive and an imposition upon the public. THREE VACANCIES NOW ON COUNTY COMMITTEE Tne death of E. Timmerman, of Plains, removes the third member of the county Democratic executive committee since the last election, the others being J. T. Harden, of the 29th district, and J. J. Wilson, of the 15th. Because of the early ap proach of the election, and there be ing no very important duties for the committee to perform, it is believed no move will be made to fill the places until the regular election, when the committee will be named. 26 - ROUNDS OF BOXING - 26 MAIN BOUT 8 ROUNDS TO A DECISION CRACKER ANDERSON, 180 POUNDS Os Brunswick Versus JOHN PIOMBO, 180 POUNDS Os Montgomery mL 1 I EL.■ *•' MB J w i ■ r a TWO COLORED PRELIMINARIES OF SIX ROUNDS EACH 1 SEMI-FINAL OF 6 ROUNDS John Piombo helped train Jess Willard, and was also in Jim Jeffries’ camp.
