 Ables and Vaughan, the two southpaws who were expected to be marvels, were both taken with malaria. It put Ables out of commission for keeps as a big leaguer and he was sold to Oakland Vaughan is not right yet. Crockett, who twirled such sensational ball in 1909, returned after years illness, and. just when he began to go right, was taken with ma aria, too.
 This left the pitching up to Warhop, Ford, Caldwell. Quinn and Fisher, and of this bunch Ford alone was in proper condition the first month.
 For two weeks not a regular played on the infeld, and the substitutes did not come up to expectations. Now that the team is back in shape. with the excep- ton of Chase, look for them to make a mighty good spurt. They play the best inside game of any team in the league.
 Comiskey's White Sox are the dark horses of the race. The Chicago bunch has one of the best pitching staffs fin the league. Doc Whites grand twirlng has counted for a whole lot.
 The fact that Jimmy Callahan "came back and played grand ball. hitting like a fend braced np the offense wonder fully. And then this young Ping Bodie from Frisco has been doing great work with the stick. The White Sox are like ly to cause lot of trouble before the season is over.
 While the Boston Red Sox have been playing good ball, I cannot figure how they can be counted in among the first three. Outside of Joe Wood, their pitch CTS are very ordinary. Cicotte is a fair ly good man, but the others are no bears.

OF THE BARONS ENOUGH TO RUN PITCHERS
 OUT OF SOUTHERN LEAGUE

The record of the Baron team continues to improve. Including every game played this season with the exception of that yesterday afternoon, the hitting mark of the team is .24s This is some swatting.
 The team has averaged S.27 hits per game. and 4.17 runs. They should have won practically all their games. If they score an average of AT runs per game fer the balance of the season they will win the pennant.
 It is to be noted that the Barons have As the perfect in runs produced by 2 hits, the above record is a marvellous one.
 Molesworth did the best work of the Barons last week. He was at bat B times scored runs, got 10 hits and stole 2 bases. Marcan was at bat 24 times, scored runs and got 10 hits. From last week Molesworth's hitting average Jumped ss percentage points. If he main tains his stride of last week another week he will get into fairly good society again.
 In runs Marcan is leading McGilvray and Phelan by 9 He has scored % times. MeGilvray leads In the number of hits with 51, although during last week Mar can got within striking distance of him. His total Is AS. In stolen bases BcGilvray and Phelan remained tied for honors, each having stolen an even dozen.
 Maxwell is leading the pitchers with a perfect score. Tannehill has won four games and lost one. Trough, too. has an excellent record.

CUB SCOUT LOOKS
 FOR SIDE WHEELERS

Memphis, June 4.-(Special. )--James Murphy, brother of President Murphy of the Chicago cubs. who is scouting In the southern states for future greats" started his tour of inspection of the Southern league here today. A left handed pitcher is the greatest ob- ject Scout Murphy has in view and while here he witnessed several ordt- rary "southpaws" in action.
 Otto Hess, the former, Cleveland twlrler, who seems to have enjoyed a new lease on life with the New Or leans club; Keupper and Anderson of Nashville and Frank Allen, the sem sation of the Southern. who has an in- vincible record thus far. are to be in- spscted this week.
 Murphy will also look over Outfielder Zimmerman of Atlanta, on whom the Cubs have obtained an option. zimmer- man Is credited with smashing all base stealing records last season with 1oS stolen in the New York State league. This year, however. his total to date in the Southern Is seven. Scout Bob Gilks of Cleveland was also here.

MACK ROBINSON GOES TO SELMA

Selma, June 4.-tSpecial)--Th pitch ing staff of the Selma club will be gi eatly strengthened when Mac Robin- son, formerly of the Birmingham Southern league club, will join the team Monday. A new infielder and one or two new outjilders will also report here Monday to join the club. While no of tlciai announcement was made tonight, 1t is practically assured that May has resigned as manager of the Selma club. May was never popular with the Selma fans and since he attacked a newspaper writer for criticising him at the ball park last Thursday when the latter was in helpless position. the feeling against his remaining on the club has been strong and there is little doubt but there is truth in the report he has re- signed.

DETROIT TIGERS MAY WIN THE PENNANT
 BUT THOSE ATHLETICS ARE COMING STRONG

third base, but he never has been a very consistent player and is likely to blow at any time. Larry Gardner is fast second baseman, but no demon with the willow. Williams at first base is really catcher and has a lot to learn about playing the Initial bag. It looks to me as though Patsey Donivan let his best first-sacker get away from him when he sold Myers to the Browns
 Charley Wagner is a corking shortstop. He was out of the game early in the season with lame arm. But when he gets to going right he Is about as good as there is in the league.
 In Hooper, Lewis and Speaker the Red sox have swell outfeld, with Speaker, of course, the best of the trio. The others, however have been playing first rate ball.
 But Boston is weak behind the bat. Car rigan is the best of the catchers, and he is no demon. Bill was pippin in 1909. But he has never displayed the same form since.
 Cleveland has a. few promising young sters. but cannot give them look-in for the first division. Charley Somers has but one first-class twirler and that Is Gregg, a left-hander, who has lots of smoke on his delivery. Next to White think he Is the best southpaw in the league, barring possibly Vaughn. If Big Jim recovers completely from his illness.
 Lajoie when well plays his same great game at the midway and Joe Jackson has more than lived up to expectations as an outfielder who can clout. But Turner has about outlived his usefulness If the latter were as good as he was a half a dozen years back Cleveland might get into the first division.
 Washington and St. Louis are not pos sessed of even first-class minor league material. It will be a great race be- tween them to see which will hold the cellar position.

Nasbvi,Ie June 4-(special)-In the second Sunday game played in this city in over A. quarter of a century the Vol- unteers defeated Birmingham In an eX- citing contest by the close margin or to 4. About 4000 people witnessed the game. during the progress Of ,which heln- hers of both teams were arrested and gave bond after every Inning, the un- hires and local officials being arrested only after the start of the contest. The game was won for Nashville in the second inning when the famous fence-breaker Shortstop John Lindsay, who has been hitting at a 100 clip all season, met one of Rents fast ones and sent 1t hard past the bull sign for a clean homer, bringing in Smith and Schwartz ahead of him. In fact, Lindsays work was the big feature of the game, for besides making two other safe hits, he took care of eight chances, some difficult, in fine style. Nashville's two other scores came in the fourth. Lindsay again figuring promi- nently. He scored after hitting safely himself. when. with the bases full, Yantz funbled Durhams easy roller. Bays bounder to center then scored Munson. In this inning Johnson threw Storeh out at home by beautiful assist when the latter tried 10 get in from second on Lindsays safety to right.
 The Barons got their first in the third. when Elliott walked and immediately proceeded to third when Kent sent a clean drive to left on the first ball pitched. Marean hit safely to left Elliott scoring, and things looked very squa1ly locally, but Manager Molesworth bunted a pop to third on a sacrificing effort and the side was retired on a pretty double, Lindsay to Schwartz, on Phelans boun- cer near Second.

POLO PLAYERS MUST OBSERVE
 TRAINING RULES, SAYS WHITNEY

New York, June 4.--(Special. )-Held to strict training rules, under the man date of their captain, Harry Payne Whitney, the members of the American team who face the challenging Brit shers on tomorrow in the. second match for the international polo cup will be In much better trim to de- fend the trophy than when the mallet welding quartet bore the Meadow Brook colors on Thursday.
 The lack of condition displayed by some members of the American team lncensed Captain Wh,fney so much he las served notice that If. any member is rot in good physical condition for the next match his place will be filled by sub. s. This warning has .been needed and | it appeared likely today there will be need for a sub being called in tomor- rows game. T'oxhall Keen stands on the hands first on the list of subs. He is the cap- tain of the Free Botters--the polo four that gave the defenders some beating in the practice games.
 Ii was admitted today that 1t was not htcnsilitis that was responsible for the ragged playing of Larry Waterbury in Thursday game. He had not observed elem entary rules of athletic training and was out of condition. The playing of Monte Waterbury and Deveraux Atil5Nrn also showed lack of proper | training. but the latter overcame this when he warmed up to the game. Those | i'll a position to see the effect of Cap tain Whitney's training regulations upon men declared today that they all probably will be in top-notch condition | when the second match starts.
 II. L. Herbert, chairman of the Polo association, which is backing up Cap tain Whitney. said this afternoon that 50 far as is known now no changes will be made in the lineup of either team for that game

New Orleans, June 4.-(Special.) )-The ex- n ingham Athletic club on Saturday has caused the club officials to hold the team over in New Orleans for week to com pete in the senior games June 10. The club secured third place in the junior games, and would easily have landed first but for the peculiar ruling of the A.

Montevallo Wins Both

Centreville, June 4.-(Special. .)-Centre- vile and Montevallo baseball teams crossed bats in a double-header on the local diamond yesterday afternoon. The first game was ful lof snap and interest and resulted in a final score of to 3 in favor of Montevallo. The second game was a slow affair. both teams making many errors, and was also won by Mon tevallo, the score being 10 to G. A large crowd witnessed the games.
 Last season Centreville had one of the very best ball teams in Alabama, and the playing of the team this year is quite disappointment to the fans here.

Well, let us presume that we just had to get that out of our system.
 There Is no doubt but that the Barons should have won yesterdays game hands down. It was probably so easy that the Barons delayed until Durham, the Amer ican association Volunteer recruit, could be fished out of the box.
 Think of four doubles and triple net ting nothing.
 Think of dumb work on the bases and errors in critical periods.
 And Kent got away good. He yielded a number of hits, but fielded his position we'll gave few bases on balls. struck out four and got two smashes himself.
 It does appear as if he will do.
 The final game will be played this aft ernoon and it is probable that Tannehill will do the fiinging for Birmingham.
 If the veteran is not weak from his re- cent sickness he will probably win. We
