Red Sox Win Again

Boston, September 2O.-Boston beat
 the Tigers third time and went into
 lead of more than four games in the
 American league race. The score was 8 to 9.
 Detroit's pennant hopes were dimmed before crowd that brought the total
 paid attendance for the four game
 series to 107.423 believed to be record
 for any but worlds title contests. Detroit's was an aggressive game to- day. The Tigers got men on bases either on passes or hits, and forced them along by might of bat or bursts of speed, but except In the first inning found Boston's fielders barriers to prog ress beyond third base. In the opening inning Ruth passed the first man and hit the next and, with Cobb's sacrifice and veach's single, the Tigers scored their only runs. They filled the bases in the eighth, Ruth developing another wild spell which forced his retirement, but Foster struck out Baker and the side was out. At other times during the game it was Hoopers bullet-like throws, Bar rvs handling of hard driven grounders or catches by Speaker that stopped De- troit runners
 After gaining a run in the first in- ming Boston went scoreless against Dauss' pitching until the sixth. Then a pass to Speaker led to run when

DAVIS RECEIVES OFFER FROM MARION Can Become Assistant COach-Other Howard
 Gossip

Hartridge Davis the star halfback on Central High school for the past two years, has settled all dispute as to his intentions this year. The plucky half back has a good position offered him from Marion to become assistant coach. At the present he is undecided as to whether he will accept or not.
 Slick gained statewide reputa- ton last year. He was captain and quarter back on the varsity eleven and was recognized as one of the most val ua ble men on the team. Besides being good gridiron performer, "Slick' is also good in baseball, basketball and on the track. In fact, he is one of the best all-round athletes that ever at tended the High school
 Davis stated yesterday that he would announce his plans in few days. There is a serious doubt as to whether he will accept the position. This settles all the rumors that he would attend Howard or Birmingham college this year.
 Practice was held at Howard yester- day afternoon. Coach Caton is hopeful that new backfield material will report soon. A large field of candidates re- ported for practice. Only preliminary practice was held. such as bunting. passing the ball and generally working out. Howard has abundance of raw ma terial but the prospects for this years success is exceedingly gloomy.

P|NSON ISSUES CALL FOR PRACTICE Over Forty Men Respond. Backfield Will Be
 Strong

Coach Pinson issued the first general call for the football practice yesterday afternoon at Birmingham college and over 10 big. husky fellows responded. After a brief talk at the gym Pinson took the men out on the field and limbered them up by tossing the ball and running down punts. Only four varsity men reported. namely. Kemp, Capps. W. Sessions. Bailey and Levy Jones will be in harness be- fore the week is over.
 The line Is going to give Pinson the greatest trouble. He has Sessions at center, Levy at guard and Big Bailey at tackle to build the line with. The most likely candidates for the other posi- tions are Cooley of the 1913 team. Logan. Driscoll Morris, a scrub at Auburn last year. Robertson, Simpson. Boyd, Nell. Norton and Neiss. Nell is one of the best punters on Munger Field in several years while Boyd can get off the drop kicks at a good distance.
 The back field material is such high class that it will be a problem to select i the men. At quarterback. Gillian of Cen tral high, Cooke or Ensley high. Frank Jones of last years varsity and McDavld at half Kemp Capps, who is sure of his place, Cashion. with a good record from Hamilton. Artist one Of the best prep halfs in the state.

Now that the rag is as3red for New Orleans, the next questbn of doubt in the Southern league lace is. will Birmingham or Memphis finish sec- ond? Everything favors tie Barons to be next to the Pels whe1 the curtain falls next Sunday At th{ present the Barons have lead of lhree and a half games over the Chbks, holders of third place, by wide Aargin. Four more games remain on the Barons' schedule, while the Chick are count ed upon to play five. Whlther yester- days postponed game will be played or not is not known.
 Should the Rarons vii today and the Chicks meet defeat at the hands of the Gulls second place would be as- sured to the Barons If the Barons lose their remaining four games, the Chicks by winning four df their five games would move into second place. If the Barons win two pf their re- maining games they would cinch sec ond place, for if the Chicks won all of their games it would still leave them full game behind the Barons.
 The only other fight that remains to be settled is the battle for the fourth place Nashville, Atlanta and Chat tanooga are all bidding high for the honor. The odds favor the Vols who have a slight lead at the present The Crackers have been playing poorly for the last week and if they do not im- prove they are not to be considered as dangerous rivals. The Lookouts un- der the leadership of Kid" Elberfeld, have been playing marvellous ball and according to all indications will move l. ~A kr.f- -p..I PrYa now tied for fifth place. The Vols, also, are playing in streaks and are expected to stay in the first division. The Gulls and Travellers have settled their permanent positions-- s-.5s.4s,
 All the Harons want to do now is to win two more ball games for 1915 and then comfortably watch the cur tain drop. Moley and the players both deserve highest honor and esteem from the fans and the public for the ex- cellent showing they have made this season. They gave the Pels a hard fight throughout and kept Johnny Dobbs worried.
 Mcley kept up his excellent record of past years as a manager. of the Barons and ended one. two, three. No other manager in this circuit can boast Of such a record Birmingham since Mo1ey took charge of the team, has always had a winning club. Two pennants have been stuck upon the flag pole at Rickwood in the past four years, one in 1912 ard the other in 1914 For the time that Moley has led the Barons he has won more pennants for Bir- mingham than all other previous man. agers combined.
 And the best part of 1t Is that Moley will again grace the managerial berth next season. It's Birminghams time to cop the rag So watch the Barons in 1916: they are the pennant winners: A most successful year is almost at its close, financially and otherwise. The Barons will probably end second this year and that's good enough for any club. Everybody take off their hats to Moley and his henchmen. They did fine.
