Sherman was an interested spectator.
Interest centered in the play Of Messrs
Sherman and Travis, who finished at the
head of the list. going the rounds to-

game was called on account of darkness
with the score to l.
In the seventeenth inning the locals had
men on second and third with one out.
Manager Sullivan then took himself out
and sent in Welday, a left-hand hitter.
When Cantillon saw this move he sent
Hughes, then pitching, to right field and
sent in Gray, a left-handed pitcher. Sui
Ivan countered by taking out Welday
after Gray had pitched one ball to him.
Then Cantillon tried to withdraw Gray
and sent Hughes back against owens, a
rght-handed hitter. According to the
new rule it was up to Gray to finish pitch
ing to the man who was then batting or
give pass After some heated argument
the umpires forced Gray to continue pitch
ing to Owens. He did and passed him.
Tannehill was the next man up and
Hughes returned to the box, while Ganley
went to right field. Tannehil hit to
Hughes and Altizer was forced at the
plate. White ended the chances with a
grounder to Delehanty. Score H e.

fore today Travis won the victory. Sher-
man won in reality in the morning round
when he turned in a card of eighty, three
strokes better than Travis. Both went
the round in the afternoon in the same
number OF stroke 49, Shermans score
for the day was 1853 and that of Travis
1856
The comparatively poor showing Of the
ex-champion during the forenoon put him
on his mettle in the second round and
he made the greens in the lowest score
of the season for the course. Travis led
Sherman in the afternoon round to the
eighteenth hole, but the New Yorker
evened the scores by a beautiful putt on
the home green.
The distinct disappointment of the day
was the failure of C. B. Macdonald of
Garden City to qualify among the first
eight. He missed the privilege of getting
in that class by strokes.
The scores of the first eight were:

BILLS COMMENT
BY BILL AK.

BY BILL AK.
Little Rock May 3.-(Special)-The
Barons, up against the hardest propo-
sition they have tackled this season, are
playing very poorly.
They are not in the game
In the first place the pitchers are go
ing badly and in the second place the
support is far from perfect.
/ have seen every team in the league
under fire now save Memphis and Mo-
bile and do not hesitate to go on rec
ord that at this time Little Rock looks
stronger than any other.
Birmingham right now is in rather a
bad predicament We need two other
first rate pitchers, and need them badly.
With two others in the class of Man
uel we can afford to carry two average
men, Then we need one more first-class
infielder.
Do not figure on the return of Raftis
Get that dream out of your head.
And do not be deceived into believing
that Larsen is strong enough to play
O. third base in the Southern league. He's
a pretty fair utility man and a nice
fellow personally, but 1t is simply a
case Of not being able enough
/ believe that we will eventually get
Robinson or another just as good from
Cincinnati.
But we cannot get hands on Robbie"
urtil after June 10.
And our urgent needs will not be fui-
filled when the Albanian reports either.
I am very anxious to see Birmingham
finish high this season. For that rea-
son 7 am not hedging in my statements.
Morris. as was demonstrated In the TWO
games In which he played. is still in poor
physical condition But he is good
man. by all means.
do not like the Barons' batting order
either though this evil by comparison,
is very minor. Henline cant punt 10
save his life. and 1t is out of the ques-
ton expecting him to do so. It would
be better for him to lead off and the
manager TO follow

BOX SCORE DOPE

Writing from Washington, ]. A. Wilson
of Russelville has the following to say:
In looking over The Age-Herald of
Monday, May 10, read your Questioning
the Fans in regard to the publication of
the box scores
Now, while I may not be considered
a local FAM I am nevertheless very much
interested in the Birmingham team, and
want TO protest against the discontinue
ance of the publication of the box score,
for I can figure out the individual batting
averages and know when Henline and
Wordsworth are leading the batters on
other teams, and besides a great deal of
the interest in the game would be lost to
the out-of-town fans because they could
tell nothing about who got the hits and
made the errors. l sincerely hope you will
vote antinue the publication of the
box
LeRo5 Holt of this city writes as fol-
lows:
Referring to the matter of publishing
the box score of the different Southern
league games, will say that 1 never fail
to look over each one every morning. [
remember when The Age-Herald did not
publish the box scores, and incidentally
the sporting page was not half as at
tractive as 1t is at present
IF you consider only the expense of
conducting your page of course you will
vote to eliminate the box score: but if
you want to be considerate of the fans
the real, real fans, who are subscribers
to your paper-you will certainly vote for
the continuation thereof.
The sporting papers which are pub
lished weekly show the box score of all
the games. but by waiting a whole week
to read baseball news one would naturally
lose interest in the game
Now, honestly, if you were reader in
stead of writer, wouldn't you want to
see the box score every morning.
The following comes from W. w. San
ders:
There are many ardent fans who can
not witness the games or attend the
matinees, and to such the detailed box
scores are the only means of keeping up
with the individual efforts and merits of
the players, and so would be seriously
disappointed if the scores should be dis
continued. The sporting page of The
Age-Herald is the first to which I turn.
and 1t is the most complete and interest
ing of any paper published anywhere in
the Southern league"
