CONVICT PUGILIST
READY FOR FIGHT
Inmate of Penitentiary Will
Meet Middleweight Cham
pion Friday Night
R.ALK1GH. June 20 (INS)
Charity Mangum, the "fighting pris-
f oner, is working hard today tor his
! coming fight that may net him a myth
j ical title.
The only inmate of a state prisoner
ever to go in for professional boxing
Mangum is slated to meet Terry Rob
erts, midleweight champion of the
Carolina?, on the night of June 24.
It probably will be the first time in
ring history that a prisoner ever has
tried to gain any sort of title while
confined behind prison walls.
Mangum is doing hard training
each night, sparing with his partners,
Gallagher and Kid Turner, the latter
a giant black from Boston.
This will be the closing ring card
for the present season at the peniten
tiary and Mangum will be given a rest
until next fall. i
Other bouts on the card call for
Charley Hauser of Fort Bragg and
Fennie Mack of Charlotte to sling
gloves at each other for eight rounds
to srttle their old argument which
huilits inception when this pair bat
tled through ten rounds to a draw.
Tommie Guliughei, lightweight champ
t,f the Carolinas will exchange wal
lops with Jess La.sgo of Charlotte, tvo
i egro bantams yet to be selected will
put on the first bout of the evening
and there probably will be a battle
royal to start off' the night's entertainment.
ONLY KNOWN BIRD
WITH "BOBBED" TAIL
A representative of a tribe of birds
which Includes the only kind In the
world known to practice self-decoration
has arrived at the London xoo.
It is a Carthaginian motmot, from
South America, and Its seemingly con
ceited relative Is known as the Racket
tailed motmot
Racket-tails are not uncommon as
natural adornments of many birds, bnt
the motmot produces his artificially,
for he nibbles away the vane on each
side of the shaft on the two middle
toil feathers until the desired shape
Is obtained.
If excessive vanity prompted the
motmot's ancestors to nibble their
tails, as is probable, this would ac
count for the habit becoming Instinc
tive. It Is evident, at any rate, that thj
females learned to regard a racket"
tailed suitor as specially desirably
otherwise the "fashion" would havi
died out.
