Miniature automobiles are being manu- factured by boys in all sections of the city in preparation for the great second annual rolermobile race to be held un- der the auspices of the Boys club May 15.
 The rollermobie race Is open to repre- l sentatives of clubs, Boy Scout troops, Sum
 day school classes. schools and organiza- tons of boys.
 More than likely all teams taking part last year will be in this year; also a number of new teams. There will be two
 boys to each team, one to ride and one to push, alternating in the race if they like.
 All teams entering are asked to have their cars lined up in front of city hall
 at 10 o'clock a. m for street parade through the streets of Birmingham. Entry Requirements In order to give a number of teams a the race open to more boys, there will be four classes, as follows:
 Both boys under 110 pounds. QD Wheels
 under 20 inches in diameter. (2) Wheels over 20 inches in diameter.
 Either boy no pounds or over. C5) Wheels under 20 inches in diameter. 4 Wheels over 20 inches in diameter.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power companys loving cup, which was won last year by the West End scout troop, will be presented to the team which covers the course in the shortest time. According to gossip among boys who are buildng their cars for entry in this race, every fellow feels sure he and his
 buddy have the fastest car, and the one that will win first place. capturing the cup. But then again the West End scout 1 troops, the team which won last year,
 say their 1915 model will be much fast CT car than the one entered last year, so all this gossip summed up causes much specula ton in the minds of all as to who
 will win the cup. Every fellow and his buddy who go to make up a team to rep resent their club, scout troop, Sunday
 school class or school, has a fighting chance, so 1t is up to them to try and
 put out the best car they know how to
 make. getting all the practice they can
 before the day of the race.
 i Individual honors will be given as fol- l lows: Gold medals will be presented to boys winning first place in each of the other three classes, while ribbons will be given to second and third place in each class It will be quite an honor for boy to receive either of the above mentioned,
 which are certainly worth striving for,
 so with this in mind every fellow who will put little pep" into this rollermobile
 race, he stands good chance to win.
 The construction of the rollermobile
 must be as follows: Each rollermobile
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-04-25

must have four wheels and each wheel must be at least six inches in diameter, the other part of the construction can be as the boN wants it, using his own ideas and plans. Two boys are required to 8 team. One must ride all the time, though they may change places when they like, and to be able to change quickly all boys should practice making the change, in order to do so in the shortest time pos sible. ,5-..sss
 The Course
 Cars will start on Eighth avenue and Eighteenth street, down Eighth avenue to West Twentieth street, south on West Twentieth street to Park avenue, down Park avenue to Nineteenth street. south on Nineteenth street to line drawn di- roctly in front of the entrance to the city hall. The Boy Scouts and police force have promised to keep the course clear during the race. eliminating the In- reference experienced last year.
 Commissioner Weatherly will be the chief judge of the finish asd will present the cup and medals.
 Any boys who would like to have a plan for the construction of the pushmobile, or would like to secure some wheels at small expense, should call at the Boys club office, room S. city hall at once.
 Ali boys who wish to enter the race should register their team at the Boys club office, room & city hall, at once.

DIAMOND SPARKS

Swede would pitch creditable baseball once he went on the mound and at- tended strictly to business. It is now up to Roth, Hardgrove and Black to deliver. We sincerely hope they will.
 Some of these criticisms concern ing the Baronial pitching staff is being construed as the start of a Knocking" campaign by the play CTS. They are in error. There is not a more ardent Baron fan than the writer or one that is more keenly disappointed when a game is lost.
 Criticism is not knocking, and just criticism can be highly con- structive and effective in the bet torment of the teams winning chances. The present criticism directed against the Barons at odd times is due to the apparent i'll effects of the Orlando training trip.
 The Rarons spent month at the Florida resort under some very au- spicious weather. In fact when the Barons left Orlando, we very care lessly telegraphed to The Age Herald that Birmingham was in such excellent condition, and the pitching staff hurling such rare article of baseball that all the oth- CT teams in the league would be left behind and the locals never headed. In the pennant race. Thus was the rashness and i'll judgement of un- sophisticated youth exposed.
 On the Barons' return in Bir- mingham two selid weeks of play ing the major league teams fol- lowed under the best weather i'm aginable, yet what the big fellows did to the team was a shame. We did not win game from the Chi cago Cubs" the Cleveland .Iu- dians" or the Pittsburg Pirates" However every other team in the Southern circuit without having had the advantage of months training in Floridian climes trimmed the big leaguers with rare skill and consistency.
 Now let the fans view the stand ing of the Barons and the lack of injuries to the team, and judge whether some slight criticism is not due-somewhere
 Lets start with New Orleans to- morrow and clean up. REL.

 The sun was hot yesterday.
 New Orleans arrives in town tomor- row morning for series of three games The fans will have chance to see the former Baronial favorite-. Clarence Smith--in action. Smith is pitching some classy baseball this spring.
 The longer Cecil Coombs plays at the first bag-the better he looks to the fans.
 The question of who will play in center field for the Barons this sea- son is likely to be settled within the next few days. Let the fans have a guessing contest.
 The Barons are now resting at the .500 notch in the league standing. If they hang around this mark until the first of July another pennant will come to the Barons.
 A Louisville writer in the Sporting News states that the pitchers of the Colonels are in better shape than any other hurling staff in the American association. The Louisville Colonels trained at Lakeland, about 90 miles south of Orlando, the Barons' train ing camp.
 At Lakeland, when the Barons played a series of two games and were trimmed, it was stated by the Colonels that only cold weather had been encountered-yet the Colonels' pitching staff arrives in Louisville in the best of shape and immediately starts winning games.
 In Orlando the Barons encountered only fair weather and were able to work out every day of their stay. Figure it out for yourself.
