 Three prolonged matches featured the second round of the Country clubs mid summer golf tournament contested yes terday One of the matches went 1s holes. another 22 while the other extended over 9 holes
 Two of these took place in the first flight. while the last and longest of the day fell to the fourth Herbert Tutwiler and M. D. Smith fought IS holes, the later triumphing' | I'D. The match was closely played from the beginning and after the first nine holes 1t was clearly evident that it would end close, and that extra holes would pos sibly have to be fought to determine the winner. This happened to be the case, and at the end of the required Is holes they were all square. At the nineteenth smith nosed Tutwiler and took the match. 1 Probably the hardest contest of the round was between Rollo Stenmehl, | youngster and George Oliver, veteran Twenty-two holes were necessary before | the veteran was declared a winner, up. Steinmehl was slightly off his game, while Oliver played in prime form, but as It was, Steinmehl fought his opponent to standstil, and was all square at the | end of the first IS holes. The match then went into extra ones, and the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-frst holes were | halved, but at the twenty second Oliver broke the tie won the hole and also the match.
 Oliver showed to advantage in putting and on several of the greens holed out from considerable distances. The long distance battle of the day occurred between E. E. Ellis and w. H. Nevins two ardent opponents of the game, who, though not the best, are counted among the most jealous wielders of golf clubs. The two were evenly matched, and they see sawed through 2S holes. Ellis finally showing his opponent into the discard. The frolie. for that is what it may aptly be termed. attracted a fair sized gallery and provoked much amusement for neither were able to shake the other from his heels.
 In the second and third flights two other close matches were played. Dave Rob erts, Jr., won from A. M. Throckmorton 1 up in the second flight, while Frank Nel-
 son, Jr.. eliminated J. H. Doughty by g similar count in the third flight.

Lacking the punch in the pinch, Bir- mingham was humbled by New Orleans in spirited batte yesterday, to O.. Portwheeler F'inis Wilson banked the Barons in every session, while the Pels clustered hits with Baronial misplays in the sixth and tallied four runs off Lanky Arthur Johnson.
 Statistics will give assurance of Will sons tight twirling. Fourteen Barons reached the first station five journey ed to second, but only one-McDonald- reached third. In the first session, one of the two breaks Of the game was offered the Barons, but was disspated Without a man out, Marcan was nestled on second as the result of safe wall lop, while Mcdonald was resting on first on d pass Carroll attempted to sacrifice, but dumped the grounder just in front of the plate, and Higgins forced Marcan out at third. Stewart and MeBridge failed to deliver and the base runners were stranded on second and third.
 In the fifth, Covington walked and was sacrificed to second. The following bats men were baffled by Wilsons twirling and Tex camped at second. In the sixth, Marcan opened the session with walk, but did not get past first base on the three subsequent outs. In the seventh, Mcbride, first up, singled, but again three outs were registered without an advance. The big southpaw was in- vincible, despite his penchant for allow ing himself to give the handicap to the ! batsmen by issuing balls before strikes.

Baron Hopes Expire


 The sixth session killed Baronial hopes. Wilson inaugurated the telling fusillade with a single to Carroll. Knaupp with instructions to sacrifice, failed to accom- rlish the task On the nrst strike a lit tie short pop resulted, but Tragesser could not reach it. The second foul fell just out of Covington's clutch down the first base line All signs of remorse among the Pels vanished when Knaupp dumped a Texas leaguer in left feld which Mcbride missed by scant mar gin. Starr bunted down the third base line Although Wilson gained a neat getaway from second, Tregasser essayed nipping the twirler at third, but his throw was wide and tardy. Walter Barbare, the star Pel youngster, advanced to the plate with the sacks loaded He drove vicious grounder down the third base line that Mcdonald just defiected. Will son and Knaupp scored before Ellam could retrieve the stray pellet
 Charlie Hemphill twisted a clean single to left from his cudgel but Mcbride held Starr at third. Lindsay and Sylvester drove two short flies to the sunfield, upon which starting for home would have proved suicidal, and Starr tarried at third. Bluhn hit slow grounder to short. Mcdonald ventured to extend his patrol into Ellam's territory on the slow bounder, but untitled the rap with his gloved hand and Starr scored. Higgins responded with a single to Carroll and scored Barbare. Hemphll, slow afoot by years of service, attempted to score from second but was downed at the plate by Carroll's unerring peg. And thus the rally subsded.
 In every other period of play Johnson and Walker held their adversaries with. out tallies through cunning pitching. Marcan's sensational stop of Lindsay. hot grounder in. the fourth furnished z l fielding feature, while Scotty Chesnut looked to be the best umpire in the leagu, behind the plate.

 AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

The membership of the church is especially urged to be present at the morning hour next Sun day, as we will observe the ordinance of the Lords Supper at that time, and we want every member present that can possibly be there.
 Our special Missionary service at the Sunday-school hour last Sunday was good, everyone who took part doing their part well. As a result of the services almost S15.00 was raised by the school for Home and Foreign Mission work.
 During this month we will take our offering for Home and Foreign Mission work, and we hope to have a large offering from the church for these two phases of work. This church has done well in days gone by in their offerings to this work, but we should not be content unless we are constantly pro- gressing.
 Do not forget the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. work. Both of these departments are doing well; as is also the Women's Missionary Union.
 We are glad to welcome Rev. w. T. Thurman, the new pastor of the Presbyterian church, to our midst. We hope that our relations as co-pastors will be as pleasant as were those which we had with the former pastor of that church, Bro. Jonathan Williams.
 A cordial welcome Is extended to all to worship with us. COME.
