COLUMBIA ATHLETES OUT
Record Breaking Squads for Fall
Sports on Heights.

More interest is being taken in athletics
at Columbia this year than since the days
Of football. Record breaking squads Of
candidates have reported for fall baseball,
rowing and soccer. and although the sea-
son is Just beginning the number of men
who have reported for swimming and
wrestling is larger than last year, when
the previous records We're broken. The
change in the policy Of the athletic associa-
ton is probably responsible for this more
than anything else.
BY far the greatest interest has been
taken in the interclass baseball series,
which was made possible by the gift of the
set Of medals by Eddie Collins, the star
second baseman of the Athletics. Five
teams have taken part in the interclass
series, and i'm all more than sevcnty-iive
candidates for the varsity squad have been
registered. Harry Fisher, the new coach.

Fisher has been able TO pick out several

never pitched before this fall. but in the
four games which he twirled he was beaten

who had been the mainstsy IN the 5ox tor

promise for a strong pitching staff next

The outdoor rowing season will end on
Saturday OF this week, when the annual
fall regatta will be held over the Edge
water course, on the west side OF the Hud-
son. For the hrst time, Jim Rice will have
four freshman combinations pitted against
one another. The freshman squad has
broken all records, and Rice has better ma

WILL REST TWO DAYS AND GO TO MEMPHIS FOR SERIES BE- GINNING TUESDAY-TEAM IS HAPPY

The Barons returned to Birmingham last night and will remain in the city until tomorrow night The two off days VIII give them an opportunity of talk Ing long breath before the resump- ton Of the northern invasion.
 The team has played sensationally since leaving Birmingham. In all six games were played and four of them were victories for Birmingham. Chat tanooga was beaten in two out of three games, and Atlanta lost two in three As matter of fact, although the rec ords will not bear out the statement. the Barons won three. out of four games in Atlanta.
 It has always been contended that an even break on the road could re- suit only from excellent ball playing. The Barons have won two-thirds of the games played for a percentage of .667.
 The team to all appearances is in ex- cellent spirits. Manager Molesworth states that the players deserve great credit for their work on the road. They hustled all the way" was the manner In which the manager put it, ''and their playing has been of the very finest order. We will rest in Birmingham for a couple of days and then open in Memphis. From Memphis we go to Nashville, and then return home July 31. We wi. pc at home for a couple of weeks"
 Although both Memphis and Nash vile are going at a fine rate of speed at the present time, the Barons be- lieve that.they can make an even break against those clubs.

Atlanta. July 2.-(Special. )-Bir- mingham and Atlanta broke even in the double header here this afternoon, the Barons winning the second game 10, and losing the first 20.
 In the first game the Crackers did a shade the better work and in the sec- ond Trough had an edge on T. AL kins. Both games were good ones, however. and the fans who witnessed them were kept in a state of excite ment throughout.
 The locals won the first game on er- TOTS. The men who scored were hrst up in the innings and were walked Each man scored from third on an error, the first one when Yantz per mitted a perfect peg from Molesworth to escape him, and the second when a throw from Catcher Yantz got away from Speer.
 In the second game the Barons scored the only run on two hits, one by Johp- ston and another by Ellam, with a sacrifice sandwiched between.
 The Crackers had an excellent op- portunity in the sixth when an error and a walk put two on bases with none down. Jordan sacrificed the runners to third and second and Trough in- tentionally walked Zimmerman. A long fly would have tied the score and a hit would have won the game for At lanta. But Watson hit to Trough and a. double occurred, from Trough to Yantz to McGilvray.
 In fielding. the Crackers had an edge in both games in spite of their crip- pied condition. The Barons had an ad" vantage in swatting. The base run ming of Zimmerman was feature of both games.
 During the second game Phelan lost his temper on account of a close de- cision by Umpire Fitzsimmons and kick ed him on the foot. He was im- mediately elected from the game. Yanfz was substituted and it was his and Marcans errors in the sixth which came near causing change in the final result of the second game.

In the first game Ware held the Romans safe at every state, but Llewellyn weak ened in the sixth when four hits, one or them a home run, netted three runs. The features of the game were the pitch ing Of Ware, Dorseys home run and the sensational fielding of Hicks at short.
 In the second game Buesse set in Skip worth a Gadsden discard, who held his former teammates scoreless and permit ted only four hits, two of them being of the scratch variety. The features were the pitching of Skpworth and the brilliant work of Burt, both in the field and at inc hat.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

I leaving Birmingham the Pels have de- feated Montgomery four times in a row. | lost two out of three to Nashville, anu won three straights from Chattanooga's Billionaires
 So it appears that the Pels have just about sewed up the situation and the real scrap will be for second and third places.
 The time for fighting-not bickering-has come. The management must go out somewhere and get strong pitcher if 1t is necessary to knock down a big league owner to. get one. And it would not do material harm were a hard hitting out fielder secured from some point of the compass. A little more smashing would do no damage save to the standing of other clubs.
 The team must keep on fighting desper- ately over every inch of ground-and the fans must do their parts. The fans can do great deal of good in close situations. A little ''rooting" has always accomplished fine results.
 The race is becoming exceedingly inter eSttHSr eNeH lhouSn ahe IeiS nslNe estdp nshed such lead that to overtake them appears impossible.

 In the initial session Courtney was the only man to score. He reached the first sack by reason of the pitchers inability to put them over the plate. He stole sec ond, reached third on an error and com- pleted the circuit on a hit by Adams. Poor fielding was also responsible for the large score accredited to Memphis in the second game. The scores:

Had the Barons won the double header yesterday afternoon they would have been tied this morning with Montgomery for second place in the standing of the clubs.
 As it is, however, Nashville and Bir- mingham are neck and neck with Mem- phis just a trile to the rear, and Mont gomery Just trihe to the front.
 Within few days there may occur drastic changes in the standing With Birmingham idle today and tomorrow Nashville may win third or second place. But the race is close enough to inspire the fans to get behind the team and push 1t along the road of success.
 The team is playing splendidly ana ap- parentlv Is little worried about the wave of agitation which has been started III Birmingham. They are anxious to win' and if their success the following week is as marked as was that of last week they will land permanent berth just 10 the rear of the Peicans
 Nashville is playing equally as well as Birmingham at the present time, and It appears that the Vols will be scrapping right along to the finish. But if a badly needed recruit is landed within reason able period the Barons will have the inside road to the finish, and will be favored to beat Nashville to the pole.
