The announcement of Clarence Smiths sale to Chicago seems to have done noth- ing to affect the work of the youngster for the Birmingham club. Unlike many of the other ball players. Smith seems to he more anxious to stay with the Barons than to report to the White Sox. It is also likely that had not the Chicago club held all option on Smith, Owner Woodward could have disposed of him for at least s5c00. Many other teams were impressed with his ability.
 While Smith was anxious to better him- self, he was not especially desrous of advancing this year. He stated that an other years work in the Southern league would give him more experience and that he would be better able to stay in the majors on his first trial. However,

and debilitate himself for his work in the majors.
 After the big league teams notify the clubs that a certain player is recalled he usually slows up and will not attempt to play with the daring and effort that lie d,d before the option was exercised. AS a general rule this will be found to be true R. A. l..

he declares that he will make strong effort to stay this season.
 There is little hope for the Barons to again secure Smiths services. The White Sox will hardly let go of such a promising player and if they should de-
 sire to send him to a league of lower classification the Class A leagues have
 a chance at him before the Southern. However. 1t is highly probable that the other major league clubs would not waive. Smith has everything in his favor. He is young and possessed of a wonderful
 physique and strength. His motion for
 delivering his fast and slow ball is tho
 same, while he has developed an excellent
 cross fire and change of pace. If Smith
 does not stick with the White Hose Il will be great disappointment to many
 ball players and fans.
 Should Birmingham cinch the pennant
 before tfo season closes, Smith will be allowed to join Chicago.

Br tapping More In the pinehes. while smith pitched invincible ball. the redoubt- ahle Bsrons increased their lead for the pennant by trounclng the Lookouts again, to | The bolc legions of both clubs put up I bclutfll exhibition and the pitch ing was excellent. Clarence Smith the lad who secured control by pitching pea nuts to the top rungs of the ball plant held in command speed, curves and con trol, but had trouble in trimming More who seemed to have like combinations. In the field LIP Marcan captured the hunting and finished strong.
 Tie little second sacker probably saved tho game while Yantz's timely hitting tucked 1t in the won column. In the sew enth inning with the count deadiocked ard Moran rerched upon second with one Lookout down, Allen hit a liner to Al meida, who speared 1t and then heaved to Marcan. to complete double. Ills throw was extremely high and it seemed as if Marcah could not possibly stop It. However, he hopped into the air and landed on the sack with the ball in his eioved hand. It was a wonderful stop, Had not Mark speared the pellet, Moran would have probably scored

Marcan Fields in Style

Again in the eighth, when the Lookouts threatened to score on MT. C. Smith, he stopped the rally. With Cecil Gray the nefty right field recruit, perched upon the initlal hassoclx as the result of a safe slam, Moves hit fast grounder to sec ond. Marcar made a neat spring, touched second and heaVed to first, completing his second double play.
 Tho pitching was of the first rank. Smith never had more" His fast ball and his slow ball. which incidentally are delivered with the same motion, were shoved across the Goodyear with ease and wonderful control. When he got in pinches he seemed to dispose of his op- poEents without effort and was just as careful with two out as with the nrst man up More disposed of the bold le- zion in the first four sessions, but con- scented to a demerit in the fifth. when Jimmy Johnston reached first and was sacrificed home. The game was beauti- full to look on.
 The Lookouts gained the lead early. As an ante, Coyle hit a slow bounder to- ward third, which Almeida made no eff fort to get and as the result landed upon first Jordan advanced Mickey 10 second on the hst and run play. while Guy Tutwilers liner to center field, which Johnston stopped but could not hold, transported him to the Mecca of base ball.
 The Barons battled through the first three sessions without solving Mores s slants. However in the fourth, Marcen chirped in with a Texas leaguer to the right pasture. Carroll was struck out but Almeida hit a bounder over Tut viler's sky-piece and Marcan made third. Mcbride attempted to squeeze him in hut Coyle intercepted the ball and caught Marcan at the plate on hair-breadth ,aHu

Hit and Run Effected

The third and final marker of the fray was made in the eighth by Marcan. On More's fourth largess. the second sack CT drew first. Carroll after two unsuc- eessful attempts, laid down a beautiful sacrifice. Then Marcan and Almeida es- sayed the hit and run play and Marcan counted on the Cuban's single to center. Marcan was near third when the Cuban landed upon the sphere.
 A good opportunity to score was lost by the Lookouts in the seventh when Tutwler doubled to the scoreboard with no one out. With Moran at bat, Yantz called for a pitchout and Moran at- tempted to hit it. However, Yantz threw with unerring aim to Ellam, who caught Tutwiler easily off second. The Barons gave q marvellous exhibition of why they are leadingsth race. Not only did the players field we'll and hit timely in the pinch but were wide awake and outguessed their opponents.

Barons Deadlock Battle

In the fifth Jimmy Johnston's daring base running netted the flrst~an tieing tally. The speed-maryel hit a hot grounder to Tutwiler who fumbled and then threw late to first. On the first ball thrown to Ellam Jimmy purloined his three score and ten base of the season. Ellam dropped a neat bunt in front of the platter and Johnston moved to third. Yantz bunted to Coyle and scored Jimmy. It was a perfect squeeze play.
 With the battle dead-locked More mi tiated his inauguration in the seventh by permitting Mcbride to line out to left field. Moran made sensational shce- string catch of the fly and was gener- ously applauded by the fair fans. Me- Gilvray walked after the first two offer ings of More's had crossed the plate. Then Johnston singled to right meadow, advancing McGilvray to second. Elldm was called out on three deceiving slants but Yantz hit luscious single aver second base and scored McGilvray Thus two of the three tallies are accredited 10 Yantz's ability as a pinch swatter.

the voluntary assessment stamps and

THE CAPITALIST rs UNNECES
SARY.

In one of Jesus parallels strong men
are represented as standing all the day
idle" because no man had hired" them,
and even now many believe they couldn't
work unless given" employment. Think
over the idea and see how ridiculous it
is-can't use your muscles without an
others permission! The capitalist keeps
men from employment by holding them
from the tools and means by which they
might work. That the capitalist is un-
necessary is not a theory but a demon
stration-a recent demonstration on the
part of the capitalist himself The cap
tains of industry" have nothing to do
with industry now except to absorb its
products, for managers, superintendent
and statesmen, as well as the workmen,
are all hired. The fiction that the capt.
talist is any longer necessary in indus
tray is as thoroughly disproven as the
old theory that the slave driver was
necessary to production.
