south today In addition to being great mechanical player Ellan is one of the brainiest performers in the bus mess. As captain of the Barons he has for two years generated the in side play of the present champs and in this capacity has the entire confi- denoe of Moleys hirelngs.
 Ellam's personality makes him. an ideal choice as manager. The Baron captain plays the game only while on the field He is quiet, hard working. efficient and one of the easiest men to manage in baseball. Ever since his debut in professional ball Captain Roy has taken excellent care of himself and as manager would be able to set all example to his men which would mean almost perfect conditioning.
 And Tn addition Ellam is in every way a gentleman. He has been voted the most valuable man on the Baron club and it Is probable that he is also the most popular. Roy has large number of admirers here who hate to see him leave the service Of the Bar ons but who are anxious to see him rice to a managerial position.

Beleians Get New Uniforms

DunklrK, France, August l.-(Spec1aLJ The Belgian army is now clothed in khaki instead of the dark colored and con- spicuous uniform of the earlier months of the war. It has been a popular change, since the khaki of the British soldier has been much admired by the Relgians as both smarter in a military sense and more businesslike than their own dark blue and green The sanitary situation along the Belgian front is ex- cellent. and the sick report is exceeding ly small. The bodies of dead horses and men floating in the area covered by water have been fished out and destroyed, and the country in general cleaned up back of the lines Belgian officers have estap- lished little chicken yards back of the trenches for fresh eggs, and angling for carp in the canals is one of the chief recreations of officers and men when off duty.

Back from the road trip which. starting so auspiciously, ended in such utter dis aster, the Barons return to Redwood Field this afternoon and face the pace making Pelicans in a three-game series. After the Pel series the Barons take the road again for trip to Mobile, and following this they return for lengthy stay at Redwood Field, their last long stay of the season.
 While the recent disastrous road trip as crippled the Barons' chances for cop ping the 1915 gonfalon, all hope is not lost, and a winning streak within the next few days will see them again struggling for premier honors.
 The Pelican series will be the supreme test Johnny Dobbs bunch, fresh from their triumph over the Chickasaws, see in a victory over the Barons a chance to forge away with lead which will all but cinch first place. To keep up the present sensational struggle for first honors some body has got to stop the ?elicans To save themselves it is up to the Barons to turn the trick. Dick Robertson probably will be Moley's selection to face the lead CTS in the initial game this afternoon. Rob- ertson this season has been one of the hardest pitchers in the league for the leaders to beat. If he can hurl his mates to victory today the Barons will get the jump on their opponents and have good chance to annex the series.
 The Barons reached Birmingham not whit downheartened over their recent de- feats. With the exception of McGee, all are in great shape, and -'rimed for an other try at wrestling the leadership from their rivals. No alibis are given for the road disasters other than that they failed to get the breaks. There's a turning to the lane somewhere. think the Barons, and they confidently expect to find 1t at Redwood Field.
 The game this afternoon will be called at a:21

Tn D;stribute Delayed Mail

Mexico City. August 7.-tCorrespondence of the Associated Press.)-Eight months Of accumulated mail has just been dis tributed to foreigners and others. Beside this mail a batch of some 1900 telegrams will also reach their owners. These let ters have been piling up in Vera Cruz for the past month since it was necessary for the military to use the only avail able telegraphic lines to the prejudice of the general public while the siege of the capital was being carried on. Tt Is not the want of food of material kind that the foreigners feels so keenly here but the want of that intellectual nourishment which comes from the news centers of the world in the shape of press dis patches and in the editorial comment and magazine articles on the same. Papers bearing a date a month old have been eagerly read here during the past few weeks. With the large English. French. German, American and Spanish colonies here the dearth of European war news works real hardship.
