 Following the Cracker series the Mo vent will be inaugerated with Pen nant Day" when the gonfalon won last season will be raised. This will be next Saturday
 After "Pennant Day" comes Cup Day." in honor of the Baronial fans who rallied in such numbers on open ing day that Birmingham for the sec ond consecutive year was able to win the attendance trophy.
 Following these special events ali other series played at Redwood Field will at least have one special day in honor of local or visiting player. Thus during the course of the next few weeks there will be a "Baugh Day" fin honor of the election to the league presidency of the former Birmingham executives 'Molesworth Day." in hon or of the successful Baron chieftahn, and Woodward Day" in honor of the enthusiastic and progressive owner. of the Barons.
 President w. D. Smith of the Blr- mingham club was enthusiastic about the idea of special days and stated that undoubtedly the fans would be highly pleased at the innovation.
 'The major leagues have adopted the system of special days in honor of de. serving players said President Smith, and the Birmingham club Is not enc whit less progressive. Of course, all the arrangements have not been completed but the idea of special days appeals to me and undoubtedly will be tried out in the forthcoming long home stay ai the Barons.

l As for 'Pennant Day it will un- l doubtedly take place next Saturday when the Mobile Gulls are in town. We will raise the gonfalon with appro- priate ceremonies and then proceed to 1 fight for another one"
 Proxy Smith also talked on the re- cent controversy with the Memphis club
 and explained that the Chickasaws were | dickertng with Eibel of the Crackers,
 and until they had Eibel signed up they withheld permission to Birmingham to acquire a new player.
 We requested permission of the league managers to suspend a player with pay and acquite another" said | President Smith, "and Memphis with held the necessary permission until Player Eibel had been signed to a Memphis contract. Then we secured the necessary permission to get a new | player, and Lindsay was Temporarily taken on the roster. Memphis explained her actions with the statement that sine had been dealing with Iibel and until the player was secured 1t could not take chances on losing him. However. We are still in the fight and the Barons sticking together will win l have little faith in these mid season changes and the fact that New Orleans and Memphis are in haste to shake up their teams and acquire new players does not impress me very much am firm in the belief that the squad
 selected by Molesworth at the begin
 ming of the season will finally come through and leave the field about tre
 middle of August as 1t did last sea son. Our cripples will soon be in shape and then watch out"
 After giving out the above interview
 Prexy Smith left the city, retiring to his farm. He will return next Monday to welcome the Barons back home again.

SCORE OF PERSONS KILLED
IN RAID ON LONDON
Eiqhty-Six Others Are Wounded by
Bombs Dropped From Zeppelins
in Heart Of City.

London, Sept. 10.-The latest Yep
pelin raid on London was the most de-
structive in history. 1t was officially
announced 90 persons were killed and
Sc injured. The German naval airships
invaded the heart of the largest city
in the world at midnight and rained
explosive and incendiary bombs that
started many fires in the district
wherein are situated London's most
famous buildings.
Firemen were called out to combat
the flames while the Zeppelins were
still hurting bombs, and did their
work with incendiary missiles falling
all around them. 1t Is believed con-
siderable damage was done before the
flames were extinguished.
The number OF casualties in
Wednesday nights aerial attack
makes a total Of 33 persons killed and
129 injured in the raids of two sue
cessive nights.
The most alarming feature Of this
latest visit Of the Zeppelins, however.
was that they invaded the heart Of
the city-the western part-wherein
are located such landmarks as St.
James palace, Westminster abbey, the
parliament buildings, the Charing
Cross railroad station, the fashionable
residential districts and, on the edge,
the great factories and warehouses.
