MISSISSIPPI MAY
OPPOSE ALABAMA

special from Starkville, Miss, Satur-
day night and published in several papers
Sunday morning, to the effect that the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical
college, after defeating the University of
Mississippi, had claimed the champion
ship of the south, and had challenged
Alabama and Tennessee, was incorrect in
part.
BY means of a long distant connection
last night DR.. Pollard, Alabama's coach,
stated that he had received no challenge
from the A. and M, and that while he
did not consider it necessary for Alabama
to make a challenge. he would play Mis-
sissippi if Mississippi challenged.
The sporting editor of The Age-Herald
was soon in connection with the man
ager of the Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical college.
1t was explained that Alabama, having
claimed the championship, was open to all
Corners for a series this week in Birming-
ham.
The manager was unable to make pos
tive reply, but promised to telegraph an
answer this afternoon.

MONTGOMERY REJoIcES.
That Climbers Are Ahead of Barons
and Doing Well.

Montgomery, May 16-(Special )-Mont-
gomery fans find that life is worth the
while The Climbers no longer trail the
Barons, but instead Greminger's men are
going up the ladder.
The general shift in the infield has not
done any harm, but instead the fans now
believe that Greminger has struck the
combination which will enable the Climb
ers to cause the managers over the
circuit all kinds of trouble.
1t looks a little queer to see Pope at
third. The kid found the job pretty
tough one the first two days and the
fans were putting up howl, but since
then he has shown steady Improvement
and may finally turn out to be star
at the position.
Champ Osteen is now getting into his
stride. Greminger made ten-strike
when he picked up this fellow and not
only did he show we'll in the field but
at the bat He win be found hitting up
with the league leaders. good hitting
shortstop will remind the fans of the
days of Ball.
Elmer Bliss has been the sensation of
the Montgomery pitching staff. Last sea-
son he pitched some mighty good games,
but as he worked so often on first and
in the field, his pitching suffered and
while he would look good in one game
his work was punk in the very next. He
is going well now, and when backed up
as was the case at Mobile Friday, he
will be found landing big majority
of his contests.
DR.. Thomas has already made his pres
ence felt In the first two games he
was seen in he found it a very easy
manner to get away with victories.

Then said Bill: well, these sports up

After the conversation with Bill we
strolled into the city for the purpose of
talking the proposition over with Bob
Baugh, Dave Hilton, Arch Henderson,
John Livingston and others who have
won fame at shooting clay pigeons.
1t was found that they are ready to
shoot the crowd from Memphis. Dave
Hilton was enthusiastic. Arch Hender-
son, who we are Informed, broke long
list of straights last Friday afternoon,
was a trife more cautious. Mr. Baugh
didn't say much. but he'll shoot just the

Last season a number of the best trap
performers in Birmingham urged The
Age-Herald to publish a challenge to the
several cities of the south.
Let them know that ten men of the
Birmingham Gun club will meet ten men
from any other single club for a purse
of $1,000 or 500 per man."
The above was the challenge, in brief,
which The Age-Herald, having repeatedly
been urged, finally agreed to publish.
Well, the summer passed, and the chal-
lenge was not accepted.
Then dawned the spring of another
year.
Repeat that challenge" members of
the local gun club urged.
And we repeated it.
Now yesterday morning long distance
message from Memphis aroused us from
a very peaceful slumber. After some
moments of sparring around it was final
Iy developed that Bill AK, with the team
in the Bluff City, was at the other end
of the phone.

season that Birmingham trap shooters
were very anxious to meet trap shooters
of any other southern city?"
We answered in the affirmative.
And is it true that you repeated that

Memphis May 16.-(special.) without
pepper and with a spirit that hung heavy
on their own hands, the Barons went into
the fray this afternoon and it was easy
to foretell their defeat.
The Barons were outplayed conelusively.
Memphis made but seven hits to the
Barons' five. but they got seven runs to
the Barons /.
Each team made couple OF errors.
True. Keiber outpitched Fleharty in sew
eral particulars but the Baron slabman
was not so cleverly outclassed as the
score indicates.
1t was the reiteration of the old story
with the moral-if you want runs, bunch
hits.
The Barons are a little discouraged over
the showing made in the west. They
have played five games and lost them
all. I told several of the players this aft
ernoon that a second division club was as
necessary as a pennant winner and that
while the position is one to make us blush,
there was no necessity of blowing ones
brains out.
Someone must occupy the lowly posi-
tons. We are sorry we are one of those
someone's. We are going to get little
higher If hard work and good fortune
will aid us.

operat. It's rather strange, too that the
minors have been tardy in having their
say on this rule, as its enforcement would
have been responsible for lot of good
talent being turned over to the little
fellows Incidentally, it would have al
lowed several big league teams that now
are somewhat shy on talent to bolster
up a bit and make better showing In
the race.
Another feature of that proposed rule
which has been misconstrued concerns
players who have not reported. These
were not to have been counted in with
the rs limit, so that men like Spade
king and others would not prevent a
club carrying full quota of rs men,"
The fact that the rule is not opera

tinue the experimenting in which he has
been induleing for some time, and which
will hardly be finished before the Reds
