RESSEMER OUTSLUGS ROME
 AND WINS LAST GAME OF SERIES
RIDING ASTRIDE IN RIDING TROUSERS,
 GIRLS TO PLAY POLO

Boston, May 29-Miss Eleanor Sears has come to the fore with another novelty, the formation of a polo team of Boston and Brookline society girls. who will ride astride and wear the same costumes as the male players. Miss Sears aims to contest honors with the pioneer women s polo team, the Meadow Lark club of Long Island. which is led by Mrs Thomas Hitchcock.
 The latter team puts up splendid game in the sport and plans to play Yale and any other woman team formed. The players, who are prominent socially, wear riding trousers and mannish helmets.
 T hope to get a team together for the season is far advanced" said Miss Sears. T play polo myself and I find it jolly good fun. Lots of other Boston girls play polo in secret.
 "It is not hard for woman to play polo riding astride. The Meadow Lark team is playing almost as fast a game as the men,
 Would you wear divided sl1irts?" Miss Sears was asked by a Globe reporter.
 T should say not" she replied, it would be as much as your life was worth to wear skirts in polo game. We vii wear male riding pants, of course"

A BILL INTRODUCED
 TO RESTORE BETTING

Baton Rouge, La, May 29.-The open ing gun in the fight to restore race track speculation in New Orleans was discharged yesterday when bill was introduced in the house to 1egalize rac- ing with minor regulations. There is bitter opposition to the sport and pros poets for it's passage are infinitesimal.
 The racing bill was introduced by Representative LaBarre of New Or leans It provides for a referendum vote on petition of 5 per cent of the electors of any municipality. If racing is established by majority vote of the electors the bill provides that at any time within one year 20 per cent of the electors may petition for recall cleo ton.
 The bill creates state racing com mission of three members, appointed by the governor, for a term of four years.
 The racing in any city is limited to 120 days annually. No association Will be allowed to conduct racing for more than 40 days during any year and not more than three associations will be granted racing rights. The months of May, June, July, August, September and October are eliminated from the racing season, except at live stock and agricultural fairs.
 The racing promoters and friends of the LaBarre bill are basing hope on the local self-government declarations made by Governor Hall in his cam paign for the governorship. Governor Hall denied that he had pledged sup port to the bill.

were defeated. Chattanooga lost to Mo bile, Memnais to Montgomery, and New Orleans defeated the Vols twice. How are near the Barons.
 Sporting writers around the circuit be- lieve that the Barons have a very strong team and have openly expressed them selves. But a few believe that the Bar ons are playing better than they will later on. sThe Barons will play better ball as the season progresses. They are not play ing above their stride.
 
 It looks as if the Anniston Models are going to win the Southeastern league pennant again. By defeating Art Riggs Mountaineers in three very close battles they have gained a comfortable lead. The Selma club Is not In the Models class and 1t is probable that the Models will take at least two of the three games
 It is said that Selma will send a few hundred over to see the series and that the River Rats will make strenuous effort to take the series. Should Selma take the series 1t would cause surprise.
 
 Beginning with the game Friday the game will be begun at 4 o'clock instead of 3:30e Secretary Bob Tyson has written from Atlanta that the games will be played at this hour for the remainder of the season. He also writes that all the members of the team are in good shape and that the boys are anxious to get at the Lookouts.
 The largest attendance of the season for one series may turn out to see the four games with the Lookouts. Return ing from a triumphant tour, the sarons has wrought up great interest. Boyd will probably work against Chappele In the opening game on Friday. The Rarons are in a happy humor now | Big Bill MeGilvras has gone to swatting the pill; Bill Foxen has struck his stride: | Jimmy Johnston has been called the ny | Cobb of the Southern league and the Barons are winning Not only are the players happy but the fans can hardly sleep on account of seeing the rag al- | ready won.
 The Barons have a fine chance to bring home the pennant. Who will donate the l hagpole? R. A. l..

 For the first time In many moons Nash ville played at home. The new outfeder James, who was secured from Brooklyn also played in the game, and from reports did ably. The Nashville club should dc well this season with the new players which will be secured.
 Although Cholly Frank has been said to be a tight-flsted individual. he has demon strated that he is not. Although the Pels needed every game that might be got ion byshools or crook, Cholly refused to claim a forfeiture of the contest which was not played in Nashville Monday. He was not willing to take advantage of un- fortunate and unpreventable circumstan- ces. Memphis took game by forfeit.
