~BIRMINGHAM'S FLAG

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Sept. 49,
The Southern League baseball sea-
son closed yesterday with Birming-
nam in first place; Mobile second and
New Orleans third. According to
w. M. Kavanaugh, of Little Rock,
president of the league, the season
was not very successful from a finan-
cial standpoint, due to an unusual
number of postponed games on ac-
count of weather conditions.

There was not a single fan who re-
GREETED that he paid to see those thrill
lers. Bob Higgins and Joe McGinnity
were in the limelight in the last game,
which went ten innings. Higgins
drove in three runs with his two
timely hits and practically won the
game by a 3-2 score. McGinnity,
after relieving Gaskell, choked the
Birds, and pitched in great form.
Orioles First to Score.
The Orioles were first to score in
both contests, but after they got q
run in the first round of the opening
game, Enzmann and his great sup
port throttled the flock of Dunn and
the Tigers piled up four runs against
Dave Roth. who met his first defeat
ver the regulation route since Joining
Baltimore. This contest was tucked
away labelled Al in u favor.
The Orioles lone run was due to
hits by Corcoran and Derrick mixed
up with an inield out that put Cor
coran on second base. The Tigers
got busy in the fourth, when Collins
scored his n%inety-ninth run of the sea-
son, and Bernard also tailed. through
singles by Collins and Billy thinner
man and errors by Payne and f.
Maisel.
Gagnier's walk and steal followed
by Eddie Zimmerman's smash pro-
duced another run in the seventh, and
in the eighth Tooley singled and stole,
was sacrificed to third by Collins and
counted on Demands sacrifice fly.
Gaskell and shawkey.
Gaskell and Shawkey were the OPP
posing beavers in No. 2. Gaskell was
yanked to give way to Seymour as a
pinch hitter in the fifth, with Newark
trailing, 2 to 0. This brought McGin-
nifty on to the scene, and his work
had the crowd on edge, as he turned
the Birds back in swift succession,
| Newark got safe hits off Shawkey in
only three of the ten rounds. Three
of these six wallops were punched in
the fifth, when Billy Zimmerman
Gagnier and Higgins punched hits
tying up the score at two runs all,
Baltimore had scored in the fourth
on Derrick's triple, Schmidt's single
George Maisel's hit and Doc Bernard s
erratic heave to the plate.
There were two out and none on
In the tenth, and it looked like a
draw, when Eddie Zimmerman
walked. Higgins again came to the
rescue with a long double to left and
Eddie Zimmerman steamed to the
plate barely in time to beat Lords
throw, Newark beating Shawkey fol
the second time in FIVE tries this
season.

MdcFdrl0nd Says He'll Stay
Here Until He Forces Kramer
Into Match Race with COuIet

Clarke | believed and proved him to
be one of the greatest riders in the
business. Now Goullet has every
thing that Clarke ever had and about
25 per cent. more of the real stuff
which goes to make. up a champion
That is the reason | have taken him
under my management FOR the next
two years.
IF Kramer will be anything i
fair. there should be no trouble in ar
ranging a series of races to settle the
American championship this year.
Under the present conditions Kramer
cannot claim the title.
"All | want is a fair chance and
even conditions for Goullet. | am
willing to allow Kramer to name tbs
conditions for two races and | will
do the same. Then, if it is necessarv
to ride a deciding race, we can let the
toss Of a coin decide which one of US
shall name the conditions, or | am
willing to allow the rider who wins
by the greatest number. of lengths In
any of the first four races to name
the conditions for the fifth.
IF Mr.. Kramer and his friends are
willing to give Goullet a fair chance
under eve conditions l stand ready to
donate $500 toward a purse for the
contests. Let Mr.. Kramer donate the
same amount. The management OF
the Velodrome can add a reasonable
amount and we will ride winner TAX
all. / think that is air enough.
One thing is certain, / am going to
STAY right here and camD' on the trail
of Mr.. Kramer until he does ride
Goullet under ever conditions. Let
us hear from him.

II am certainly going to insist that
Frank l.. Kramer shall ride Alfred
Goullet for the American champion
ship here before the local cycle racing
season comes to an end"
This statement was made this
morning by Floyd A. MacFarlaud,
who is the manager of the little Aus
tralian. Both Goullet and MacFar-
land came here with the bunch of
riders who appeared at Salt Lake
during the past season.
AT the beginning of the season.
continued Mcfarland, Chairman
Kelsey, of the N. G. A. board of con
troll, notified me that Eastern and
Western championships would be de-
cided this season and that h WIN
ners in each division should meet
for the American championship.
The only condition he made was
that the final series of races should
take place mere after the season had
closed at Salt Lake.
"Goullet won the Western cham
pionship, taking first in FIVE out oil
eight races, finishing second in two
and being out of the money In the
other because of a fall. Now Goui-
let is here and ready to race Kramer.
Il believe that my past record III
the cycle racing game gives. me the
right to express an opinion and have
1t carry some weight. For that rea-
son | want to go on record as belieV-
ing that Gouilet can beat Kramer at
the present time, Goullet Is a mucn
improved rider this season and ne
had no trouble winning from the
fast field at Salt Lake.

THE Rocket of old.
In the last heat of the one-mile
open Paddy Hehir, in attempting TO
go by Drobach, ran him off the track
on the back-stretch. Just as they
reached the urn Perchicot came up
with a rush and was just going by
the two leaders when Drobach
bumped Hehir to get on the track
again n Hehir in turn bumped
Perchicot and sent him flying almost
to the top of the track. The French
man was plainly the best man in the
heat and the crowd resented the
treatment accorded him. Fer fifteen
minutes the fans called for Perchico.
and a rerun of the heat, but Ref
cree Arthur Ross considered Perchi-
cot partially at fault for riding so
close to Hehir in going around and
refused to d~isqualify Hehir or Dro-
bach or order the heat run over.
In the one-mile open amateur Gus
Wolrab saw Alvin Lotus and Dom
aid McDougall so much engros,ed in
watching each other at d lap and a
half from the finish he took a fier,
caught them mapping and won as he
pleased. The two stars we're nowhers.
In the amateur handicap McDougalI
proved very conclusively hat he IL
a better mar than LOTUS when he
ran away from the latter in the last
lap.
If Jackie Clarke is a dead one he
failed to show it yesterday. He made
the rest of the Westerners look fool
ish in the ten-mile open.
Perchicot is a mighty popular fell
low here right now, and he is SOME
bike rider, too. 1t is doubtful II
there is a rider here with the excep-
ton of Kramer who can beat him In
a French style match. 7
Seeing Grenda quit in a ace Is in
deed a novelty. The fans looked
open-mouthed at the big fellow when
he dismounted in the big open. They
all thought he had punctured. a tirs
or had wheel trouble. No one would
believe that he had actually become
fatigued. f

Alrick H. Man, jr., the Yale cap

AS it was impossible to use the Nor

throughout the week, the match was
decided on a private court.
Ward was the favorite before the
match. 1t was apparently forgotten,
however, that Ward was defeated by

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. H.
william Rapps, first basemah Of the
Portland club, of the Pacific Coast
League, made a triple play unassisted
in a game with Oakland. Oakland
runners were on first and second
bases. The batsman hit a low liner
toward first, and the base-runners,
thinking the ball could not be ielded
sprinted ahead. Rapps scooped up the
ball with one hand before it touched
the ground. He touched first base
before the runner could get back and
then raced to second in time to get
the third man.

four laps had been covered Thomas
took the count and Perchicot and
Ryan continued on alone. The pace
at this stage of the race was 2 min

riders dropping out with every lap

Menus Bedell, Kramer, Grenda and
several others changed off pace in an
attempt to get the flying leaders, but
there vas no %perceptible gain being
made. Suddenly Jimmy Moran took
a flyer and went after the leaders.
Clarke, on the alert, saw Moran start
and went with him. Riding in his
famous six-day style. Moran soon
moved down the leaders who were
reaping a harvest of 81 bills. When
he caught them he went right around
and continued to bat 1t out at a ter

Ryan, who retired.

then it was Dad. Wednesday will
