BARONS TURNING TO STING
 THE ONCOMING BILLIKENS

In an effort to arrive at the truth of the situation, many men of many minds were interviewed. And from the lips of no one was regret expressed On the other hand everybody is happy that Mo- bile's team has wended it's way out of Birmingham. There is hope that never again will Finn bring the Gulls back.

Some of them were indisposed, and many of them unable to think. The Gulls outplayed. us in every game, although two of them, by perfect playing. might have been captured by the Barons.
 The Billikens come today. Manager Dobbs is reveling in the hope that the present distressing condition of the Barons will endure at least throughout the remainder of the week. He sees an opportunity to lift his Billikens out of the rut into which they have recently descended. But if we do not miss our guess he will find new team in Birming-

 The race in the Southeastern continues exceptionally warm. Yesterday Annston. which was tied with Selma lost a mag nificent game to Gadsden. Selma won q splendid exhibition from Bessemer. There fore. Selma is one full game in advance of the Models
 Selma plays In Bessemer for the re- mainder of the week and the Models meet the rejuvenated Huntsville team. There is every reason to believe that the cham pionship will be settled as a result of the Selma Anniston series to be played In Selma Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
 Bessemer played splendidly in Selma. although the Pipemakers lost three straight games The odds are that Selma will lose few to Bessemer. It is hoped that the fans of the Marvel City will rally to the support of the team and urge the boys on to victory. Special cars leave Birmingham at 3 o'clock.

Had the Barons played better base ball they would have copped the final game of the illfated Mobile series. As 1t was, however, they played poorly and the game resulted just as did that of Monday afternoon and that of Tues day afternoon That Is. the visitors won. The score yesterday was s2.
 In the third inning Gardella opened with a triple and scored when Ellam needlessly threw to third and threw im- perfectly The Barons retaillated in their half when Ellam's double was followed by Yantz' single
 From that point the game rocked along until the coming of the fifth. Mcbride with one down reached first on Starrs error and stole second. Isl- lam then singled to right and although Berger with his back to the plate feint- ed to catch Ellam running to second Mcbride. for some reason known only to himself, stopped at third. Yantz's bounder was booted by Starr, but Me Bride still clung to third. Boyd then retired the side on a grounder to the pitcher.
 In the ninth. emboidened by the evil dent purpose of Birmingham not to win the game, Mobile got busy. Berger hit to right and was sacrificed. He would have been killed at the plate attempts ing to score on Starrs wallop had Yantz held the returning peg of Messenger The pitcher scored and on the same error starr went to third, He scored on the hit of Long.
 The Barons came back strong, but again poor judgment ruined prospects. Two were down when Johnston clipped in with a single to center. He scored when Almeida crammed one to the right center field fence. Almeida had triple but no chance to score. He was coached in. however, and died half way to tho buea

Randall in Sensational Form

Anniston, June 12.-(Special )-Gadsden won the third game of the series from An niston today. Randall allowed but two infeld hits, both of which were scratches Tom Fisher pitched a class of ball which would have won any ordinary game.
 With men on second and third, with one down, the Models were unable to hit. The features of the game was the battery work of Fisher and Brown. the fielding of NoDuff and the aggressive playing of Godsden all the way through.
 In the second inning, after two were out Randall walked Nichols was safe on Carter's error, Randall going to third Reagan doubled, both men scoring.
 Not another Gadsden man reached third during the game. The receiving work oi Larry Brown is causing much comment and 1t has been reported that he will ge higher after the close of the first hali of the season. The score:

Selma had won the game by the score of to 3, making the third straight from the Bessemer aggregation Three costly errors by the Pipemakers in the tenth session Is accountable for the locals tieing the score and pushing the whining run across the plate.
 As a result Selma leads the league to- night as Anniston was shut out by Gads- den The result is that the Selma fans are jubilant and are sitting upon the stooi of expectancy as to the result of the series away from home of the Anniston and Sel- ma clubs.

 Hickman was on the mound for the Bes- somer club this afternoon. He pitched as good a game as could be expected, and opened the ninth inning in good shape. Gutierrez bunted.

BOSTON NATIONALS
 OFFER A LARGE SUM
 FOR PITCHER GRINER

Chattanooga. June -(Special)-The Boston National league team has offered ss000 for Pitcher Griner of the Cleveland team of the Appalachian league, but whether this offer will be accepted or not has not been decided. Griner has pitched eight games this season and lost but one of them this being due to no fault of his own as he gave up but one hit in that game against the heaviest hitting team in the league, Bristol.
 Griner was formerly a star twlrler of the Mooney school team at Hartman, Tenn. Several major league teams are also after Thrasher, the heavy hitting eutielder of the Cleveland team.
 Griner may be remembered by many Birmingham sportsmen During the basketball season he played for the Mooney school against the Birmingham Athletic club. He Is seemingly a better pitcher than a basketball player, although he is an all-around athlete.

BILL FOR FREE SUGAR.
And a Tax on Individual Incomes Will
Go Before the House.

Washington, March "A bill to put
sugar on the free list, eliminating
S5S,OO0, 900 in customs revenues. and
another to extend the present corpora
ton tax to include individuals and CO.
partnerships having an income of So
600 a year or over, has been ratified
nv the Democratic caucus of the
house.
The excise tax, so-called by the ways
and means committee, is in effect an
income tax. The bill is so drawn that
if is expected to comply with the SUI
nreme courts decision against the con-
stitutionality of an income tax It's
effect would be to tax every person
who earns more than $4,000 a year
in excess of $1,000 at the rate of L
per cent.
The estimate Of Chairman Under
wood and members of the ways and
means committee is that the proposed
excise tax would bring in a revenue
of between $5O,OO0,OO0 and $60,0OO,000
a year.
Placing sugar on the free list, the
Democratic leaders estimate, will re-
duce the price to the consumer about
a cent and a half a pound.
The secret that the members of the
ways and means committee had been
so closely guarding for several days
was the provision to extend the cor
poration tax.
In the caucus that bill was not SER
iously opposed. The free sugar bill,
however, was bitterly assaulted by rep
resentatfves from Louisiana, the cane
sugar state, and representatives from
sugar beet growing states.
Majority Leader Underwood an
nounced that the bills would be re-
ported to the house in few days
eve simply took the corporation tax
law and rewrote it to include indi-
viduals and co-partnerships, said Mr..
Underwood
The president of the United States,
should the proposed bill become law,
would pay 1 per cent of $4,000 or
$500, his salary being $4,000.
