Boston Nationals Recall Baron CatcherRoh Becomes Out right Property of Club-Covington Has Signed As
 surfing Barons of Two to Play in Majors
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

Two Barons are assured of second trials in the major leagues. Catcher Walter Tragesser has been recalled by the Bos- ton Nationals for service in 1915. "rex" Covington, the Baron first sacker, has been assured of another trial with the St. Louis Browns and has signed for 1915. Big Dave Roth the big spitball artist secured from the Chicago White Sox, has become the outright property of the Bir- mingham club. Chicago did not enter recall.
 The young Baron backstop received mo- tficatior of his recall yesterday morning shortly after o'clock. He was naturally buoyant over his good fate. Tragesser is hitting at neat clip for a younester on his second year out in professional

" HE southparian slants of Cur.
 ley Brown baffled Mobile at ev-
 4 cry turn, and the Gulls were ad-
 ministered a third successive drubbing, 8 to O. Fitted against the Baron portwheeler was little Lefty Townsend the star finger of the Mo- bile club. Timely swats were regis tered off the Gull Twirler at critical stages and enabled Birmingham to gain firm hold on second place. The redoubtable Baron defense sparkled behind the tight twirling of Brown and held the Gulls well in check.
 For five successive innings Brown held the Mobile marksme without hit. In the sixth Dobard crushed all hope of no-hit encounter with a single through short Brown com manded rare supply of bafflers His fast ball shot over the plate with a decided break, while his curve ball tucked with caprieious dart. But one base on balls was issued to his adver- saries although three times three sue cessive balls were issued before a strilxe was called. The deceptive slow ball floated across the plate in fine style, and this combination of bafflers proved invulnerable.
 The little southpaw allowed but one batsman to reach third base. In the sixth inning Dobard registered the first safe hit to left field through shortstop Townsend and Hudnall were complete ly puzzled, popping up to Marcan and Ellam. Steady Clayton Perry drove the pellet between Carroll and Stewart and only fast fielding by the right gard ener held Dobard at third. However, Nortnen grounded out and prevented a score.

LEFTY TOWNSEND SERVES
 FOUR HITLESS INNINGS

' 4Townsend did not display his usual supply of bafflers and it was not long before Birmingham assumed the fore Lack of control put the Barons on the aggressive. Mcbride was walked as a starter in the second. Covington sacri- ficed deftly down the third base line and arrived at first shortly after the throw. Ellam boosted hopes by receiv- ing a second largess from the Gull southpaw. Tragesser hoisted to Do- bard. Curley Brown. a 300 hitting pitcher virtually won his own battle by singling to center field, scoring Me Bride. Perceiving that he could not oyertake Mcbride, Lord begged to third to catch Ellam. but the Baron captain cutsped the return and Brown jour neyed to second. Marcan sent Eilam and Brown over the pan with a single to center, but went out attempting to steal.
 Townsend frightened up after the fiasco in the second and served four successive hitless innings, but in the seventh three timely wallops endowed Birmingham with the melee. Covington slammed double against the right field palisade. Ellam sacrificed him to third, while Tragesser cracked the first pitch to left field and tallied the first sscSer. Brown larruped single to Northen and advanced to second when Northen fumbed. Tragesser, having raced to third on the safety, did not

Judge Shumate heard testimony in the
injunction case of Clark and Robnet
issued two years ago against J. W.
Brosius to prevent him from operating
a bus and transfer in the streets OF
Glenwood, because of contract he had
made with Clark l. Robnet to whom he

to show that the other parties to the
contract were no longer nthe business
and upon this showing Judge Shumate
held the former injunction to be null

to resume business the same as though
no action had ever been taken against
him. The other parties to the action
were served with notice of the hearing,

Atty. Judge Squire reserved his de
cision until Wednesday and then stated
that because the young man lives with
his parents and contributes to the sup
port of the family the vagrancy por-
tion of the charge was not sustained.
He held the young man, however, upon
the second portion Of the charge AMI
fined him $50 and costs after he hal
read him a severe lecture and admon-
ished him to be good in the future. Ts
encourage the accused to improve his
ways and lead a different life the
magistrate suspended the fine during
good behavior, but declared that it will
at once become effective should he
revert to his former ways. He again
urged the prisoner to brace up and be
"a man and show proper respect for 5
parents whoch he has not done in the
past. In his argument of the case
City Attorney Bell said he had hesi-

he otherwise would have done, out of

Parson Klein of the Methodist church
is having splendid success in booking
a lecture or entertainment course for
Glenwood. The interest which our peo.
pie are showing in the better form Of
entertainment is an encouraging indi-
cation of an improved taste on the pals
of our people. If you have not signed
up for few tickets just stop the par
son on the street and ask him to let
you in on the game. He II forgive you
for the intrusion.
AT the Methodist church last Sunday
evening Rev. Klein conducted patrI-
otic service making the event commem.
mOrative of the lives of both Wash
ington and Lincoln. As a prelude to
the sermon A. j. Dickson read Lincoln s

Judge Dollison appeared on behalf of
the district, but owing to the condition
of his health was not able to proceed
