EXHIBITION GAMES
 AT R|CKWO0D TODAY
Fats and Leans Will Stage FrOlic-Fast Amateur
 Game Also Scheduled

This afternoon at Redwood, the Fats will engage the Leans, in what promises to be hotly contested game of ball. It is generally conceded that this game will forever settle the dispute as to which di- vision of mankind is the most 1.-the of limb. For sometime each extreme of humankind has boasted that they were the most mighty in athletic prowess. Each being incensed at the bickerinss and contention of the other, agreed to meet on the baseball diamond to settle the dis pute. Redwood was selected as a battle ground and today the struggle will take place.
 Not being able to select a male person. age, who could not be classified in one or the other division. they unanimously se- lected a woman, who will act in the ca pacity of umpire, and will judge as to the fairness of the struggle.
 A double male quartet was alec se- cured to dissipate doleful sounds during the encounter.
 A lady announcer. with megaphone, will give vent to her opinions.
 All of which means to say that there will be a baseball game at Redwood this afternoon between the Leans and the Fats, umpred by lady, and preceded by an amateur game between the Electric and Gas teams of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power league. The first game begins at 2:30.

Displaying the whole field in a spectacular finish that electrified the gallery. Evans made two rounds of T and 70 and finished with 2al
 Evans score of Al for today was the best double round of the tournament. His ankle seemed to bother his putting more than his long work and irons. His tee shots spanned some 300 yards of the fairway almost every time. His irons were nearly all perfect, but in the last nine holes he missed three short puts and had no luck with long ones. He finally drove to the edge of the eighteenth green, 277 yards. and had left one putt for a half with Hagen.
 The spectators stood on tipioe while the Chicagoan tried the so-foot putt. He missed by 12 inches and the championship went to Hagen.
 Ouimet lost the title with graceful eaua- nimity. He had no fault to find, he said He won the title last yeas year at Brook line, tying with Harry Vardon and Ed ward Ray, British professionals, at s0i In the pay-off 0uimet made 72 to Var dons 77 and Rays IS.
