New Orleans, July f.-(Special.) 1.-The second game of the Birmingham-New or leans series was called off today at Peli- can park on account of rain. Although 1t did not rain all evening, it poured down long enough to make the ground too slip pery to play on.
 The Barons will tie up with the Birds again today and Sunday and 1t is more than likely that a double-header will be played Sunday afternoon. There was some talk about playing the double tomorrow, and so get the postponed game off their hands, but the managers up to tonight had not come to a conclusion.
 Manager Frank will either pitch Brett enstein or Fritz tomorrow evening, but in all pro5a oiiity will send in the "Grand Old Man" to do the honor while Manager Moleswoi tn will put Robinson the boy wonder" in the box with 'Duckey' Holmes behind the bat.
 Robinson has been suffering from a sprained ankle lately, but his arm is in the pink of condition, and but for lit tie soreness around his ankle, is ready to go in the box Downey will also be at short for Birmingham.

ed, but they are going to fight it out 10 the end.
 "The whole trouble" said an English sportsman tonight, arises through the Olympic associations having assigned the management of the various sports to the officials of the local associations. These associa tions naturally are prejudiced in favor of their members of the United Kingdom teams, with whom they have been associated for years. It would have been far better had the officials of the Olympic association at least managed the stadium sports themselves, for with few men such as Lord Desborough in charge there would never have been any question of fairness in the final decision under any circumsznces.

FORMAL PROTEST MADE
 BY THE COMMISSIONER
Athletes Will Fight It Out to the End In Spite of British Methods-One British Sportsman Agrees
 With Americans.

London July 17.-A serious controversy has arisen between the American ath- letes and the British Olympic association. The American dressing rooms at the sta- dium have been turned into a camp of discontent and there are other competi- tors, including the Canadians and French men, who are not satisfied with the way ill which the events of the fifth Olympiad are being carried out.
 America's chief cause of complaint is the arbitrary manner in which their pro- test against "the fagrantly unfair method of conducting the tug of war" was dis kissed.
 The United Kingdom had three teams entered in the tug of war made up of the police of the city of London, Liver pool and the metropolitan forces.
 When the Liverpool police appeared it WAS noticed they were wearing enormous shoes, so heavy, in fact, that it was with great effort they could lift their feet from the ground. The shoes, or boots, were enormous calf affairs that could not by any stretch of imagination be called ordi- nary shoes. Heavy boots are worn in the British navy, but these were greatly ex- ceeded in weight by the footgear of the Liverpool athletes, which in addition had steel rims around tine heels.
 Halpin Protests.
 Matthew P. Halpin, the manager of the American team, when he saw the shoes, immediately entered a protest to the game officials, but he was told the shoes were those ordinarily worn by Liverpool police men. MT. Halpin decided to go on with first pull in order to show how unfairly the Americans were being treated.
 The decision was wise one, for the spectators in the stands near by could zee that as soon as the United Kingdom team put their weight down the heels of their shoes cut through the turf and gave tEem a hold that it was almost impossi- ble to break.
 The Americans made no efforts, Rose the anchor man, not even winding the rope around his body, and were promptly pulled across the line.
 Manager Halpin then announced that the American team would not continue unless the rule was adhered to, and. his protest being ignored, the men marched off the ground, an official proclaiming through a megaphone that the Ameri- cans retired because they have had enough of it."
 James E. Sullivan, the American com. missioner, preferred formal protest tc the British Olympic association, who turned it over to the Amateur Athletic association. As these officials already had decided in favor of their own team the protest, of course. was not allowed
 All Disgusted.
 The members of the AmeNcan com mittee, the American athletes and every one connected with the team are thor oughly disgusted and almost dishearten.
