 Anderson held the Massachusetts state amateur title twice and two years ago was runner up to Jerome D. Trayers in the national championship tournament at Garden City.
 Travis was carried to an extra hole by young Percy Platt of New York this morning, but he scored a decisive victory over Oswald Lirkby of Englewood, N. J., last years metropolitan winner in the semi-final which he won by up and to play.

 Harry Jernigan of Montgomery. Tomorrow morning Brame meets young Adair in the semi-f finals and Jernigan is matched against the elder Adair. The Adairs are considered prob able winners in the semi mi-finals though Brame is thought to have better than a aghting chance against Perry Adair Brame is not playing his usual game though lacking in practice and he may lose to Adair in which event Mont
 gomery's sole hope will rest on Jerni- gan, should he prove victor over George Adair. Should both of the Montgomery players be eliminated. father and son will fight for the championship cup with chances favoring the boys suc- cess.
 Today Adair was matched in the first round against J. H. Doughty of Bir- mingham, whom he defeated on the eighteenth hole.

ARKNESS in Nashville yes-
 terday afternoon ended the
 game with the Barons in the twelfth inning with the score tied The details of the manner in which the Vols tied the score in the ninth inning after Berrie Grimes had held them to one fiukey hit are too horrible to relate here, and the fans are referred to the story of the game. It was awful-not the story-the game.
 Out of the last eight games played on the road the Barons have won two, tied one and the others are credited to other clubs about the circuit. It could be worse
 But then what is the use of roast ing the team for the losing slump? It will not make the players work harder to howl about their mis- cues. for ball tossers are so tenn permental that criticism, no mat ter how we'll meant, makes them act peevish And deliver us from peevish ball players.
 To G. E. D.: You are quite cor rect in your scientific deductions. viz; A player cannot bat around Tor 400 average in the midnight league and get away in daytime. The abrupt change in light affects the eyes and thus the daytime bat ting average shows an unfortunate tendency to finger around .00S or thereabouts. Some experts give this dS the reason managers are so aversed to the midnight league.
 Arthur Johnson was well started on l3-inning game yesterday when the umpires decided they were hungry and entitled to eat ompires are such delicate creatures. Poor things.

in a continuous uproar.

Orton Blake, the young phenom of the
 local courts, was deefated by Lee Allen
 Brooks, but the veteran was forced at
 all times to extend himself against the
 attack of the youth. In the doubles Blake
 coupled with McWane, defeated Wood
 and Mitchell. This young pair are ex- pected to be heard from in the finals. No pairings were announced last night
 for today's tennis, but 1t was stated that all the players participating in the tourna-
 ment should be at the Country club this
 afternoon at 3 o'clock. The results of yesterdays play follows: Singles-Adams defeated Sparks by de- fault.
 Lange defeated Simpson, e-1, 50, in d splendid match. t Bartlett defeated Bell, 6-1, 52, in straight sets. Conseman defeated Mcconnell, 5-2, 6-0. Conselman in race form. Johnston defeated Farmer by default. Harris defeated Wood, 6-1, 6-2. in a fair match

Nashville, June 4.-tSpecial.) )-FOr the second time in two days George T<ircher drove BurIeiGh Grimes from the box when his single in the ninth inning today enabled the Vols to over come n three-run lead and tie the score at and 3. Johnson went in with rum ners second and first and two out nnd stopped the scoring. The game was called in the twelfth inning on account of darkness.
 Up until the ninth the Vols had col lected but one hit off Grimes and but 25 men faced him in the first eight in- nings. King singled in the first and Ba- ker walked but Paulette hit into a double play. The Vols in the ninth started a bunting game, after Smith had started the rally with his fourth straight pinch hit and upset the Birmingham infield
 Yale Sloan and Edson Hemingway, two former Vols, were responsible for the Baron tallies two counters coming over in the sixth on three walks, a single, a double and a sacrifice fly.
 After Carroll had been disposed of, Ed son walked and Sloan slapped single over Stark's head. Coombs drove double into left, scoring Hemingway and send
  Magees sacrifice fly after Clark was passed. Elam walked. filling the bases, but Wallace lifted to Farmer.
 Yale Sloan started the eighth by bunt- ing safely on the third strike. Coombs sacrificed. Yale reached third on Clark s infield out Magee's single counted Yale. Ellam singled but Wallace was an easy out.
 Berger relieved Kroh in the tenth, after Smith had delivered a pinch hit for the Vol southpaw. and was an enigma to the Barons, S was Johnson to the Vols. Both pitchers allowed but one hit that counted for nothing. Street was an easy out in the ninth but Smith slashed a single to the dump and Stark beat out a bunt to Hemmy. King laid down a bunt and was called safe on a close decision, filling the bases. Baker forced King at second on his tap to Carroll Smith scor- ing. Pauette slammed a single off Car rolls glove, scoring Stark and sending Baker to third. Kircher dropped single over Ellam's head and Baker scored the tieng run. Johnson walked Farmer, but Dodge fouled to Hemmingway.

All amateurs that desire to get the results tof their games in The Age-Herald should call Main 49OO after the contest is over and in- form Fred about it. Fred is young and enthusiastic and will give the amateurs excellent service. Rally around, boys.
 Lord Cecil Coombs walloped timely double in the sixth, scoring the first Baronial run. Coombs is hitting nicely and fielding well out in McBride's patch.
 The Barons are still in second place.
 The above was not a difficult paragraph to write, because all we had to do was to look at the South ern league standing. But we did not even look.
 Robertson will likely pitch this afternoon against the boisterous Volunteers. The Baron pitchers are pretty well used up following re- cent heavy mbardments, and yes terday the Barons lost the ser vices of Hardgrove for a day or two. as the veteran came to Bir- mingham to see about the illness of his baby. Dick Robertson has not pitched in two days, and is the most likely selection for this after noon. Arthur Johnson will be saved for tomorrow's game.
 
 To Will H.: Yes, the Barons are in slump. We have no definite information regarding exactly what species of slump, but to the best of our Knowledge as evil denced by the box scores it appears that the opposing clubs secure one or more runs than the Barons accumulate during the regular nine innings and the games are lost And we must add that when a club loses one or more games our best little sporting writers have or dained that the word slump" be used exclusively. As the Barons have lost "a few games we submit that the word slump covers it all. But we should win today.
