D. smith from the contest, ? up. But this match was not on a par. though, with that be- tween George Oliver and H. C. Wood. The two veterans see-sawed back and forth from the start and so evenly were they matched that an extra hole was necessary to settle the tilt. This extra hole went to H. c. Woods and eliminated Oliver. Not at any stage of the match was the score more than up in favor of either golfer.
 The winner of the finals in the first flight will be awarded the clubs mid, summer trophy. while the runner-up will also receive a trophy. The winners only in the other four flights will be presented with cups.

SOCIALISTS PROTEST

New York, August s.-Several thousand socialists at a mass meeting held here late tonight protested against the Euro pean war. The meeting was presided over by Edward F. Cassidy, who claimed the working classes would have averted tine war if the situation had not arisen so suddenly.
 Schnectady, said he regarded general strikes justifiable to stop war, "when death is E appointed the commander-in- chief in Europe" He declared he believed the socialist party to be "the greatest peace society on earth"
 The meeting demanded that the United States prohibit the furnishing by thi.; et untry of flood supplies. munitions of War and any other commodity that will In any way assist to prolong this butch cry" and tEat the government rigidly enforce neutrality laws.

The average of each team for eight regulars and the utility man, gives Bir- smingham the lead in hitting with 2So' New Orleans second with .s70. and Mobile third with .263. For eight regulars, New Orleans takes the honors with an average of 275. Mobile is second with .271 and the Barons third with .266. The lead of the Pelicans would be reduced consid- erably if Higgins were considered as first catcher. He has caught nearly twice as many games as Adams. Then Hemphill' 8 mark of .364 will be reduced by 30 points when he has played in as many games as either Eord or Mcbride.
 The teams are about equal in field-
 ing. Bluhm is the best first baseman afied. Marcap tops his rivals at second.
 while it is just as toss-up between El-
 die Mcdonald outshines O'Dell and Lind say. The outfields are closely matched. Birmingham has the fastest corps on the defensive, for Mcbride. Stewart and Car roll are superb fielders Hemphill is slow in the garden. while Sylvester Is not a finished outfielder. Lord has a weak arm, while Miller's injury has made him less catcher in the league. while Adams and Higgins composed far more formidable lace.
 In Brown, Hardgrove, Robertson, John son and Roth, the Barons have as strong a staff as the Gulls. Keeley, 6udger Townsend. Hogg and Robertson cope evenly with the Barons. New Orleans 1 never appears to advantage against the Barons, but when Wilson. Walker. Weav-
 CT and Bagby are right, with Kissinger
 and Benn held in reserve, the Pels have the best heaving corps in the league l Thus New Orleans has the best pitching staff. Birmingham has the fastest out field and the most aggressive infield Mobile has the best catching staff il Charlie Schmidt and Larry Brown, and also the heaviest hitters Tn Lord, Schmidt and Perry.
 The Barons are by far the fastest clut I in the league on the bases, having a mucf greater number of stolen bases.
 It's just a toss-up. The team getting 1 the best break will win the bunting.
