LIGHT RAIN YESTERDAY
 MAY BE EXPECTED TODAY

It didn't rain in New Orleans yester- day, and consequently Jimmy Ryan's punch took revenge upon the Pelicans. The rain transferred itself to Mont gomery in the shape of a slight driz- gle in the late afternoon. cooling the streets and hot top stories. but not dampening the enthusiasm of the fans to any appreciable extent.
 Other than the little drizzle. almost too slight to be recorded by the Weather Bureau. the weather was as hot as the average person could wish. There was a little local cloudiness dur ing the day, and there will be some to- day, but there won't be any rain to amount to anything. It is very proba- ble that the clouds will withhold the little sprinkle in the afternoon.
 There was practically no. rain at all in the eastern section of the cotton re- zion yesterday The local cloudiness of yesterday was due to the other fringe of low barometer area which swung to the north of Montgomery and vicinity after spelling things in New Orleans on the day previous.
 The temperature is expected to be about the same for today as that re- corded yesterday.
