Despite the attraction of Suffrage Day the fans will rush out to the park this afternoon to welcome the Barons on their sudden rejuvenationPto winning form.

all that the bout will be an engagement between the two cleverest boxers who have ever graced ring. And there are many who believe that the distinction they will box for is far greater than many of the somewhat hollow championships that are being sported around today
 In the eyes of the raw lighting has passed out. Boxing has taken its place In the eyes of the majority of enthusi- asts the same is true. While there are fans who like to see ighters-the rugged, boring in type, who know little but how to punch and how to take a punch--it is believed that the majority prefer to witness a bout between real ex- ponents of the art, a bout filled with real science rather than featured by brute strength Such the Gibbons title should be. Both are the essence Of cleyerness. Gibbons can hit as well, but 1t is his boxing prowess rather than his punching ability that accounts for the position he holds in pugilism at this time. It will be clever exhibition of offensive and defensive boxing.

With all the Barons in favor of votes for Women and all the women in favor of Victory for. the Barons, it is ex- pected that the two factions will work in such harmony thatSthe Lookouts will wish they had stayed home.
 There will be special suffrage music yellow music, if you please-and It's a Long Way to Equal Suffrage will be sung by the fans between innings
 Prizes will be awarded for the first run, the first two-bagger the first three bagger and the first stolen base.
 It is rumored that a certain obstrep- orous gentleman is coming many miles for the purpose of carrying off the prize which has been offered for the man who expresses his enthusiasm for the home team in the most forceful manner. He states that he can make more noise than any man in the state of Alabama" {" and that he does not intend to let this opportunity go by. He confesses that this happy faculty has more often been the cause of rebuke than praise and rejoices that at last he sees chance to be ap- preciated
 Little Alfred Turner is tuning up to do his best for the Barons as official luck piece on Suffrage Day, and he an nounces that if they don't win it. it wont be the fault of the mascot

 Baumgardner was easily the star per- former in fielding with three put-outs and five assists each of the latter being brilliant efforts, especially when he grabbed Coombs' stinging grounder which turned the third-sacker cleaI around, but he begged true and landed the batter.

FAREWELL SERIES

 Prove Strong Opponents

Battling under the standard of Kid Elberfeld, the Chattanooga Look outs open their farewell series at Redwood The Lookouts will present slightly different array from that offered on their last visit. Clyde Mcbride. the for mer Baron outfieldcr. will be seen in sun field for the Lookouts. Caveny, the midget shortstop. who was. disabled when Chattanooga last appeared, will patrol the short field Elberfeld has been shifted from shortstop. to right field
 Manager Elberfeld is defying the law of his aggregation The peppery little leader is battling away with four pitch CTS, Cunningham. Marshall. Clark and Aitchison. Chattanooga expects rein forcementss in the person of Baby Doll Jacobson of Detroit. but there seems to be a hitch in the negotiations with the Tigers. Jacobson graduated from Chattanooga to Detroit last season and was voted to be the most useful play CT in the Southern association.
 Two of the members of the Lookouts will be given trials in the majors next season. Cunningham, who blanked Bir- mlnSndm to U oH HIS ldSt liiHS dl Rlckwood, and Marshall. who was canned by Nashville at the beginning of the season, are the two lucky per- formers. who will gain big league trials with Detroit. It will be Cunningham s second trip, as he. was sent to Chat tanooga by Hughie Jennings in the spring.
 Elberfeld is the leading batsman with the Lookouts. being just below the 300 mark. while Jud Daley Is fol- lowing in second place. Here is how the rejuvenated Lookouts will line up against Birmingham Daley, cf.; Pit Ter. 2b.; Mcbride. lf. Elberfeld, if; Kitchens, c.. Harris h.; Graft Sb.; Caveny, ss. Aitchison. D.

CREUsOT, KRUPPs OF FRANCE

(From the London Chronicle
The celebrated works at the Creu-
sot, similar to Krupps, Germany,
were originally organized for engi-
neering purposes by William Wilkln-
son, an Englishman, in the year
1856. The works then belonged to a
company in which Louis XVI. had
an interest and were known as the
Royal Foundry. During the revolu-
tion the Creusot works were nation
allzed by the government, and during
the empire Napoleon kept them run
ming for guns and ammunition for
the army After 1915 ornaments no
longer paid at the Creusot and it be-
came bankrupt. A new company, as
sisted partly by English capital, was
formed, and maintained the works
until the present propriteors who
have name more Teutonic than
french-Schneider - acquired them
IN 1886. 1t is now the third genera
ton of the Schneiders who control
the Creusot and, like Krupps. they
have establied several allied under
taklngs in connection with the pro-
duction of ornaments and engineer
ing machinery.

m HE story of the train
W hold-up near Haver-
straw portrayed the deed
as something perpetrated in
wild west fashion. Indeed il
was and the method proved
less effective than the class of
work usually followed in the
east. The customary way of
robbing trains in that region is
from within, not from without.
The New Haven people gave
a splendid illustration of the
correct way to make money by
robbery in the railroad busi-
ness. Compared with that line
of action the simpletons who
held up the Haverstraw train
bungled the business badly.
From a strictly professional
standpoint they should be
ashamed of themselves.
