RAIN BREAKS Up
BICYCLE RACES
Postponed Contests VIII be Run
Off Tonight
WILL BE PACED SIX LAPS
Hickman and Hlghtower VIII Be
Paced BY Tandem Team and the
Event Is Expected to Be
Very Exciting.
WILL Be PACED SIX LAPS

Rain broke up the bicycle races last
night just as he first riders were going
on the track. The races were postponed
until tonight, at which time the rain
checks issued last night will be good. The
threatening weather kept good many
people from going to the stadium, but
otherwise there would have been good
crowd
The programme tonight will be the
same with one exception that Russell
Walthour will not ride an exhibition mile.
of Atlanta, will ride a one mile match
race. This will practically be Atlanta vs.
Birmingham, as they are considered the
best of the amateur riders from these two
places.
The riders will be paced for the first
six laps by tandem motor just as In the
good old days of long ago. The pace will
drop out at the end of the sixth lap, and
for the remaining two laps the riders viii
have to fight it out alone. Two fast riders
will pace Hickman and hlghtower on the
Tandem. and as this is the first race of
this kind seen here in years, it is ex-
pected to prove very interesting
Hickman is well known in Birmingham.
and he has won his share of the amateur
events which have been pulled off along
with the professional races. Hightower
mas also finished ahead in one of the races
and has alwas quahnea for the final
heat Both men are in excellent condition
and the race will be very fast, as the
tandem riders will set the pace at their
best clip
Russell Walthour went to Atlanta last
hight to enter the four eornered profess
sional motor paced race there tonight
AS he had this previous contract it was
impossible to hold him here for the post
roned races toight. 1t Is expected. how
ever, that the match race between Hick-
man and Hightower will be more inter-
esting than the motor-paced event
against time
The remaining events on the programme
tonight are as follows:
First event First heat of one mile hand
leap.
Second event.-Second heat of one mile
handicap.
Third event--One mile handicap for
boys under sixteen years old
Fourth event.-Third heat of one mile
handicap.
Fifth event.-Consolation for all not
qualifying in the final heat of the one
mile handicap
Jack Prince is in Boston now arrang-
ing to bring number of the big riders
there to the South for the tracks in
Birmingham, Atlanta and other southern
cities He expects to have about a dozen
down here, and some good races
can be pulled off with more than one
starter.

authorized to find out what these men
could be purchased for and to buy them
at once. They will be bought If the price
is anything like reasonable.
For several days Manager Vaughan has
been in communication with heavy hit
ting player in one of the western leagues
but as yet has failed to conclude negota-
tons looking to his purchase. The player
is willing but owners of the western club
have not agreed to sell Vaughan is still
in communication with the management,
and may yet conclude the deal.
The public can be assured that the Bir-
mingham club Is making every effort pos
sible to secure some good men, even at a
heavy cost. In the meantime the present
players say they are going to get out of
the rut they are in and play some winning
ball. II yesterdays game is an evidence
they certainly mean what they say. Nc
better game has ever been seen in Biz
mlngham or perhaps in the south.
The sporting editor of this paper has
the assurance from a source that cannot
be questioned that every effort will be
made to get a winning team, and this de-
partment of The Age-H Herald feels quite
sure that the public will not fail to ap-
preciate this spirit.

With Ginger Clark pitching the most
spectacular game of the season the Coal
Barons and Pelicans fought it out for
eleven innings until Henry Lynch slid
in home on Billy Smiths grounder TO
third and the remarkable contest had
ended
Birmingham l, New Orleans 0.
Never in the history of Slagtown has
such beautiful ball been played and Clark
justly earned the victory he had won.
In eleven long innings he allowed but
one hit and there was a chance to re-
tire that man before the bingle came.
Whitridge, the opposing pitcher, nipped
off the single hit and just before he de-
livered the rap he had sent up high
foul which Mlllerick did not see in time
to get under it. Had this foul been
New Orleans would not have gotten the
semblance of a hit.
On the other hand Whitridge was also
delivering a beautiful article of ball and
the four hits secured by Birmingham con-
sisted of two clean drives and two
scratches. Again and again the Barons
had man on third and chance to win
but the hit would not come and fandom
had to wait
Opportunity Came.
After many trials the opportunity
bobbbed up in the eleventh and the Bar
ons jumped in with a rush. Lynch, who
was first up, hit to the shortstop. On
the throw to first, Reisling was not stand
ing on the bag and though the decision
was close, he was declared safe by I'M
pire Wood Without further ado Lynch
made a dash for second and was
safe on a block. Vaughan then ad-
vanced him to third or a bunt, and
in wild cheers the bleachers respond
ed to the call of the man on the coach
ing line. 1t was then up to Billy Smith
and he tore off just the right length.
He whacked a slow grounder to third
while Lynch dashed for the plate. Rhoe
threw to the plate as quickly as possible
but Lynch slid in before Sullivan could
get down with the ball and the game
was over The New Orleans players
kicked at the decision, but therel could
be no question as to its correctness, and
1t went
1t was by far the most spectacular
game of the season, and the Barons played
in true championship form. This gives
Clark the record on extra inning games
for the season. He is the only man who
has held a team down to one hit in eleven
innings With the exception of the short
single by Whitridge there was nothing
that had even the appearance of a safe
had but three men on bases. Not one of
had but tire men on bases Not one of
these got as far as second.
