BESSEMER LOSES TO GADSDEN BY MAKING ERRORS

senor Rafeil Almeida, the debonnalr Cuban whose bloody bludgeon has done material service in keeping Birmingham on the top of the heap. has, without fore thought. in another manner done this mu- nfcipality great service.
 Tn other words, while John Sparrow and his staff of press agents and general promoters were spreading the glory of Birmingham among the advertising ex- perts who attended the recent convention in Dallas. Almeida was putting the Magic City each morning before the people. of Cuba.
 Havana, carries each morning a story concerning Almeida (a sensaclon de la Liza del Sur); The Age-Herald (del primer periodico de Birmingham); Bir- mingham, R. A. Lewis (brilliantemente), and tine Barons.
 As matter of fact and explanation, Fl Mundo has commissioned MT. Lewis to cable each night 100 words descriptive of the work of Almeida. This information is played across the top of the page, and shares it's position only with the cincin- 1nati cablegram sent by w. A. Phelon concerning the efforts of Senor Armando Marsans.
 Following one of the games against Nashville, El Mundo's glaring headline read, ''Almeida Fue Fl Heroe Del Dia, " which in our language means that AL meida was the hero of the day. A bril- liant story following tends to prove the foregoing assertion. Under the head of Una Nueva Information" El Mundo says:

HOMEWARD TURN THE BARONS
 WITH BROWSL LAUREL CROWNED

Who remembers that afternoon in 1911 when the Barons trounced Memphis by a score of IS to 2? But who has forgotten that remarkable day when covaleskie beat Montgomery. s-2 on the occasion of the opening of Redwood Field?
 Everybody remembers. The score waa close up to the sixth inning-l-1. In tho seventh tine Bilikens rushed across the platter another tally. Bob Messenger caught the fly, but caught it in q crowd so thick that Umpire Rudderham couldnt see And Covaleslde and Bob came to blows. We all remember.
 
 And in the eighth the Barons tied the score. In their half of the ninth the Billikens threatened. One man was down when Derrlll Pratt roasted on sec ond Gribbens stung one on the nose. Past first 1t flew. The fans held their breath. But Bill got it. How he got fl no man knows But he doubled Pratt at second. And in the ninth the Barons won. It was glorious afternoon, and none of us have forgotten.
 So it is the fight we are after, Billy smith Make us hustle. Crowd us all the way. If you can, get away with every game Fight for them. If you are strong er you deserve to win. tt But you won't Bill You know 1t, too. It would be unfortunate were President Kavanaugh to take that backward step in doing away with the double umpiring system
 Money makes the mare go, 1t Is said, but good umpiring is the very heart and soul of baseball.
 Jimmy Johnston has a touch of malaria. Let us trust that the touch will be light.
