Tips To Snl OkerS

In selecting a pipe there are three big considera- tions, and prettiness is not one of them. See that there are no patched up holes, be careful that the pipe is not too heavy, and before you buy, test the bore to see that it draws well.

Games Today. Atlanta in Little Rock. Nashville in Mobile.


 Little Rock, September 2.-(Special)-It took Birmingham 13 innings to take the deciding game of the series with the Travellers, but in that round a base on balls to Larsen, Robertailles scratch sin gle, followed by sacrifices by Henline and Downey, showed over the winning run.
 The Barons copped the game to }.
 The visitors in the eighth inning were far to the rear, the score being to against them.
 However, with two men on bases, Wal ters bounded a long drive over the right field fence clearing the bases and tieing the score.
 Ross Helm, Little Rocks recruit from the South Atlantic league, opposed the visitors, and while he was hit freely, that fact was due rather 10 lack of judg- ment in his handling than to any lack of stuff in the big pitchers assortment. His spitball and curves were breaking finely. but he was called on for his fast ball with hardly any exceptions when men were on bases. The result was that the Barons hlt III liit luho they uCCucQ lO Will
 Opposed to Helm was Robertaille. While he was hit hard in the opening innings he was practically invincible after he be- gan to utilize his spit ball.
 The Travellers were unable to solve his moist delivery with any degree of suc- cess.
 Travellers Open Sugging.
 Little Rock broke in strong at the be- ginning of the game. Griffin walked and Speaker beat out bunt Collins forced Griffin on an attempted sacrifice, and on Connors infield grounder Collins was forced at second. Larsen booted Hess grounder and Speaker scored. Northern singled, scoring Connors and Hess, but Page was out, Larsen to Douglass.
 The visitors came back gamely in their half. Henline tripled past Collins, but was held at third while Helm was tossing out Downey. Meek. however, responded with single and Henline scored.
 A base on balls, Hess sacrifice and Pages two-bagger allowed Connor to give the Travellers another run in the sixth
 In the eighth, however, the game was llcu up- Mtch QOuDltu lO l1G and Raub flied to Speaker Douglass ad- vanced Meek with a single to center and Walters homer over the right field fence gave the Barons three runs and sent the game into extra innings
 Larson's Score Wins Out.
 Each team scored run in the tenth. Raub opened the visitors half with an awful wallop to left field for two bases and Douglass advanced him with a sac rifice. Smith chased Speaker to the fence for his long drive and Raub walked home.
 For the Travellers, Griffin singled for starter and Speaker walked. Collins ad- vanced the pair with a sacrifice and Meek signaled Robertaille to walk Connors. Hess smashed a high bounder at Rober- taille, on which the runner was thrown out at first but Griffin counted. Northern ended the inning by being retired on strikes.
 In the thirteenth Larsen walked and Robertaille beat out bunt past Helm. Henline bunted the runners along, and Larsen scored on Downeys long fly to Collins.
 With two out in the local half, Page singled to left, but Wood was easy from Downey to Douglass.
