ROBINSON A CLIMBER

Mccain Robinson gets in harness
again.
But not with the Barons.
He will work for Montgomery for the
remainder of the season.
But next spring he will report again
to Birmingham.
Some days ago Robinson asked
Wordsworth to put him to work. On ac-
count of an attack of typhoid fever.
Wordsworth was very doubtful as to til
young twirler's ability to do effective
work this season, and in view of the
act that his five FINGERS were going
nicely, did not dare to take the risk
of having him report.
But Montgomery is not in a position
to split hairs. and yesterday, President

MID-SEASON REVIEW

National circuit. New York is playing
exceptionally we'll, and is now but per
centage points behind Chicago. These two
teams have shown marked superiority
over their competitors.
Cincinnati is playing well, but. along
with Pittsburg. must accept second rate
honors in the first division of the Ma
tional
In the American the Athletics have the
pennant sailed away beyond all question
For many weeks the New York Highland
ers were considered factors in the race
But since that time the Athletics have
mixed with the Highlanders in several
battles and in the great majority were
returned victorious.
Boston is making an excellent showing
and Detroit is assured of berth in the
first division-but not the pennant.
Since Kansas City and Columbus have
taken a substantial brace in the Amer
lean association the race in that company
is improving in appearance. After trail
ing along with Louisville for a long
while, Kansas City has climbed and
climbed until yesterday it passed the
800 mark and became real factor. And
Columbus rs nearing the middle ground
position itself.
Minneapolis has a big lead, true, but
winners for a long time last season until
right at the end Louisville stepped in
and took the honors. Kansas City, 1t now
seems, will outstrip Toledo and st. Paul
In the South Atlantic the race is be-
tween Macon, Jacksonville and Column
bus, these teams easily outclassing the
remaining members. Until Macon re-
leased "Phenom" Benton it had the pen
nant won, but now 1t Is a toss-up be-
tween the three leaders.
Jackson should win the rag in the Cot
ton States. though Greenwood is playing
an excellent sesond fiddle. Watch Hat
tiesburg. That team has come from q
lowly position until it is now within
striking distance of the leaders Three
Alabama boys are playing with Hatties-
burg-Pratt, Tutwier and Woodward.
In the Southeastern, the baby league OF
them all, Johnston City has gained such
Roadway that it now seems an impos-
sibility for either of the otNer aggrega-
lions to figure as a pennant contender
The other five teams, however, are yell
balanced.
With a little more strength Gadsden
would get a much higher berth. On that
team there is considerable talent

Birmingham, July 1921.
The shoot promises to be very sue
cessful. AS trap shooting is more pop

the Alabama trap shooters will partlc-

A new feature of the shoot Is that the
