Christmas Show at Dixie Club Is Promising Little Must Make Good in Bout With McMahon . —■ ... By Left Hook. . w|TH a fine effort to get in \'\/ line wltlt the real Christinas ’ * spirit, the Dixie Athletic t ] u b has packed the Christmas mocking it will give the Atlanta It- it fans Christmas night, jammed f : L ,r what looks like slam-bang boxing- shorn of its words and hot air, < ;f is just what the backers of D. A. C. will present on Christ night: v h«r Little vs. Frank McMa .l rounds. 'i-. i.mj Lavelle vs. Eddie lian eight rounds. Spider Britt vs. Al Smith, six i -unds. Arthur Worthy vs. Billy Hooper, f, it rounds. Tl. men who will perform a.re , s tl> old favorites, as will be ob vel. The only man who needs Introduction is Frank McMahon, i till lad will do his own intro i -ing after the gong taps. Os curse, it is sort of a gamble put g this chap on with Little, but, anylioa. he ts on the ground, and given some private workouts. In thc-e he showed a lot of real cleverness. The Irishman is un doubteuly clever, and if he has the ,:rina and the courage to go with is fighting ability, he will have Walter Little running around in ■ ’• s before it's over. At that, Little is a good scrap r Get him in shape and he will .■ike any of the boys in his class g. some. He has fought some ex , -in fights, both in Atlanta and in other Southern cities. His back sis -ay he is right down to weight and condition. That may or may be so. Probably it is, for Lit knows that he has to fight as never fought before if he is to tick around the South. A poor loving Christmas night would i a large, black period at the Little's Southern career. T e eliminaries all look prom- - itig. • • • \ S n al! other things, fashions in the fighting game are chang es constantly.

No longer do we ever hear tne idea that a man of 175 or 180 pounds Is good enough to cope with the whales of the heavyweight di vision at the present time.' Time was when a smashing good middle weight with the wallop would be thought plenty good enough to handle himself creditably among the cart horses who now infest the upper range of the pugilistic scale. No More Wonders in Sight. But nature seems loath to give us another Bob Fitzsimmons or an other Stanley Ketchel or a Jack Dempsey. There may be one in embryo somewhere in this broad land, but if there is he hasn't had a pair of five-ounce gloves tied on his wrists yet. Fitzsimmons taught us that a man of 165 pounds was plenty big enough to whip If he was only' good enough. Ketchel, with his wallop and unmistakable gameness, could whip 90 per cent of the big fellows who posed as first-class fighters. , Perhaps you recall that Jack Dempsey at his best, never weighed over 148 pounds, and like Ketchel was infinitely better than most of the heavyweights of his day—the “good old days” those were, too, in which, we are told, the fighters were twice as good as they are to day. This little myth has been passed around for years by the old-timers. It is just a pleasant little fable and nothing more. Must Go Over 200 Now. Now. when a manager springs a white hope he has got to show that bis man goes over 200 pounds, and the farther over it the better, in order to get any attention at all. Perhaps this fashion was set when Jim Jeffries with his tremendous proportions rather shook ring prec edent by plowing through all the heavies, big and little, Including the mighty Fitzsimmons, and scat tered the remains in a long, devas tated path. The man who finally whipped Jeffries was another mam mot'i, and after that it was a cer tainty that the “coming champion” had to be a whale. The pond was not fit longer for the perch or the minnows. McCarty Like Jeffries. McCarty, the coast fans think, looks more like Jeffries than any man they have seen in action since the day of the hairy one. Hence, they like McCarty. In addition he can fight, which tightens it up not a little. But wait until they see this other v hale. Ai Palzer, start tearing off the swings. He is the real wild man, the hairy terror of the world. ■ ;• 8 * S AUCTION SALE OF CHINAWARE I 40 Peachtree Street I I | A $2,000.00 stock of manufacturer’s odds i S and ends, comprising dinner sets, berry sets, | I odd tea pots, creamers, sugar bowls, etc. 1 1 A few brass lamps, some flat silverware I sets, and some choice books are included.

In appearance Palzer looks like the first photographs taken of Terry McGovern placed under a strong magnifying glass. Palzer is a blond fellow with a jav that is as square as an oyster can. There won't be such an awful difference in tlie weights of these men. but Palzer impresses us as having much the greater power, while McCarty has it on plentifully in the matter of skill and speed. Can McCarty Hit? McCarty hit Flynn a thousand times di’- so before he was able to bring the tough fireman, down to defeat. Palter can stand as much walloping as Flynn, that's almost a foregone conclusion.-because he is a fresh, vigorous’ young fellow, while Flynn, 'with' his 33 years and ids astonishing record of tough fights, was wangLout ami about ready for the scrap heap. Verily, the seismographs of the world will' be jarred to their foun dations when this pair clash in Los Angeles New Yem's day.

This reduces the Ful ! ton league to six teams. j The Georgia Athletic club was voted out 1 because it was charged that it. was not ; a true athletic club, but that it was a locker club. The Georgia Atheltic club is the team that tailed to put in its appearance one night for a regularly scheduled game, which caused much unfavorable comment and was believed by the league officials to he a serious blow to the league, as the forfeiting of games is something usu ally harmful.
