suggested that there should be In

that he brought 1t TO the attention

JOHNSON TAKES SPIN
 IN NEW AUTOMOBILE

San Francisco. June 2-Jaok Johnson could not overcome his desire to give his new S0-horsepower automobile a thorough try-out today, and as a result no work was done at his training camp at Ocean Beach. The entire staff of trainers and sparring partners were given a treat, for the champion gathered them all in his machine and set sail bright and early for San Jose, 50 miles away.
 A big nights work is mapped out for Friday night, when the champion will give an exhibition at the Dreamland rink Johnson will spar six rounds with his regular partners and will devote about 45 minutes to gymnasium stunts
 Johnson and his manager, George Lit tie. were positive in denying story from Chicago to the effect that Governor Gil- lette had declared the fight an arranged fake that would land the white man a winner.

KAVANAUGH WILL
 CALL MEETING

Little Rock, Ark, June 2.-tSpecial)- President W NJ. kavanaugh today an- nounced that he would call a special meeting of the Southern league, probably at Chattanooga, next Tuesday for the purpose of considering questions that have arisen in connection with the new salary limit.
 This new limit was adopted at an ex- ecutive session of club presidents at which l was not present. said Mir Kay anaugh Now there seems to be a mis- understanding as to the terms of this agreement. One clubs president writes me that he understands one thing, while another that he has different view. As yet there has been no serious disagree ment, but with the race tightening up, there is one likely to arise at any time. It is for the purpose of avoiding any possibility of trouble that I have decided to call this meeting
 The protest of Manager Frank concern ing the playing of First Baseman Whit ney of Atlanta is one of the principal causes of calling of the meeting. Frank charges that for one day Whitney and Hohnhorst were both on the Atlanta clubs pay roll and that for that one day Atlanta was over the limit

hits. steal and an error failed to pro- duce.
 One of the best combination plays of the year robbed Roy Ellam of a clean slam in the second. The Baron drove d vicious smack to left, which Lynch Jagged on the bound with his bare paw back in the grass From deep short he begged high, to Vinson and another fine one-handed stop shut off the runner at first.
 Messenger sprinted 20 laps for Sci gels double in the second, but missed connection by a finger nail which was almost shot away by the blow. In Mcbride the Barons have one of the prize base hitters of the year. The visiting left fielder certainly wallops the ball on the bean He is only hitting .365 up to date, but hopes to do better later on when he gets warmed up.
 Doc Seabaugh put one over on Kid Elliott in the fourth. With Messenger on third and Elliott on first, the Baron started down for an easy steal, bu. Seabaugh whipped the ball through to Lynch for an easy out despite Elliott's Keen oratorical address,.
 In Elliott. while discussing the hur- y-burfy kid, the Barons have one Of the best looking youngsters In the bus mess back of the pack. He can peg with any of them and wallop the bail on the side.
 Doc picked out Messengers "ba se-hit zone" in the fourth, switching 20 feet nearer to center and 5 feet up the dump. The Baron then slapped a line drive directly at the spot for an easy out, where If Wiseman had failed to shift the drive would have gone for two bases. There are more angles to the old game than catching and batting the pill.
 Mike Lynch put in fine day at short. stabbing everything in reaching dis tance all the way. He put over 12 assists and many of these were rough and tumble chances, hard to cope with.
 Viebahn caught a brace of Barons off first by snapping the ball over while they were pulling off the Turk with in his guarded tent" stuff. e., dream irg of the hour.
 The Vols tried to slip a rally across in the seventh by pushing out a pack age of hard drives. but the defensive work of the Baron infield was too keen. Ellam and Marcan both shutting off near bingles by fast work.

Barons Move On Chattanooga

Yesterdays game belonged to Birming- ham, Nashville was outclassed.
 If Bronl1ie and Seabaugh could only have swung onto those balls they spilled it might have been less hard on us than a to 1.
 It looked for while as if Mir. Wagner were going to prove easy, but it no sooner began to look that way than it turned and looked in the other direction. And the little fellow fielded that job like big leaguer.
 We are now rapidly arriving at one of those periods in the race where we simply must win. There are periods like that you know-oh, yes,
 Note-At any rate Viebahn kept the mighty Messenger from doing anything with his stick yesterday-and that was doing some good, anyhow.
 Vinson Is having an off day with the bat but he has the goods up his sleeve all right and should open up again about today.
 Come to think of it, this Birmingham outfit is leading everything in team aver age. and you cant get away from that It is happy bunch off the diamond and a healthy one on it.
 When a pitcher gets a strike called on Molesworth he must undoubtedly have good control, as he must put the pill within a radius of about six inches.
 There's one consolation about losing games-whenever we do it some one else is made happy elsewhere. Of course, when we win-but that's different.
 Nearly every member of the Baron team Is fast on his pins and speedy around the sacks. They look to be the speed boys of the circuit.
 With two on bases in the first Hurley burley Elliott slammed the first ball pitched on line to right, but unluckily for the wallop. Wiseman was on the path and Jagged the slam.
 The Vols picked up Wednesday where they left off Tuesday. In the opener they put men on second and third with only one out and were unable to score. Two
