BARONS DEPART TO PLAY
CRACKERS, VOLS AND TURTLES

Should the Barons break even on the
trip, it will surprise many, as it is be-
lieved that Birmingham will take about
two-thirds of the games played. At the
present time, Birmingham has won 50
games out of n. The club is leading the
league with a total of 129 points lead over
the nearest club-Memphis.
But 81 more games are scheduledAto
be played this season. Should the Ba-
rons take 40 of this number the pennani
will be theirs. Memphis will have to
take nearly every game to beat Birming-
ham out for the rag while the Barons
will have to do little better than break
even to win out If the other clubs con-
tinue at their pace. 1t looks like the
Barons will win the pennant.
1t is very uncertain as TO which club
will give the Barons hard chase. Mem
phs. New Orleans. Mobile and Chatta-
nooga are within striking distance of the
locals, while the other clubs are not out
of the race The Southern league race
should be close in first division. Although
Ii looks as If the Barons will make
runaway race for the pennant the other
clubs are in position TO finish in first
division.
The Barons open this afternoon at
Ponce De Leon park. 1t Is probable that
Prough will do the twirling for the locals,
while Sitton will work for Atlanta.

Stockholm, July THE games In the

prayer and hymn at o'clock The
weather was hot and clear and great
ly to the liking of both American Wis
itors and competitors. The seats even
at that early hour were half filled
with enthusiasts, among whom were
many women. The first trials in the
stadium were the preliminary rounds
of the running high jump, wrestling
and the trial heats In. the 10000 metre
fiat race
Six of the II jumpers who qualified
for the final round of the running high
jump by clearing 1873 eentimetres were
representatives OF the United States.
Fifteen jumpers failed, including two
of the American team.
The sensational event of the morning
was the splendid race between Louis
Tewanima, the Indian, and L. Rich
ardson of South Africa in the second
heat of the 10,000-metre flat race in
which Il runners started. Until the last
mile the order was A. Stenroos, Fin
land; Louis Tewanima and IL. Karlsson.
Sweden, the little Indian hanging
closely on the Firms heels with the
Swede a yard behind.
About the beginning of the last
mile Stenroos dropped back and Rich
ardson pushed forward from loo yards
in the rear and took his place On the
final circuit Richardson sprinted. Te-
wanima came to the front gamely but
Richardson won by a yard amid great
enthusiasm. Both will compete in the
