@HARLES CARROLL, after
 playing his usual nice game
 for seven innings, aviatet in the eight and paved the way fc. a Baron defeat Charley's lone error soaped the slide and before the stsnza was over the Travellers had aocumu- lated three large and luscious counters which brought the grand total to one more than the Barons had managei to peck from the ancient and honorable delivery of George Merritt However, as the Pelicans were walloped vice by the Lookouts, the faus pas of yes terday will be overlooked, but let us hope it will not happen again.
 Up to the present time the Barons have not performed with eclat on the lengthy road trip started last week. In six attempts the Barons have sar- nered two games and lost four Why the slump?
 The pennant won last season by the Barons will be raised in the New Or leans series which begins June 10. at Redwood Field. No date has been se- leeted for raising the gonfalon the Barons will win this season, as it IS felt by President w. D. Smith that such action would De too premature Say not so.
 Dick Robertson hurled in mastarly fashion yesterday until the eighth. In that horrible session Robbie became peeved at Carrolrs costly error and other things, and finally informed Um- pire Chestnut that he was no gen. tleman or some similar truthful ex. pression. which resulted in his election from the game. AS the score was tied and two Travellers were on second and third, Robbie gets credited with de- feat. Just exactly what Robertson called Chestnut is not known in Birmingham, as the Associated Press language.
 Omar Hardgrove followed Robertson on the mound and pitched four per- fectly wild balls to Shaw, thus filling the bases and retired from the arena. Old Sleuth was not right and 1t was discovered.
 Karl Black was then called from the bull pen. where he had been hur riedly warming up and Gibson poked slow grounder to Hemingway for a safe hit. Murray scored the winning run and another game had been kicked away on Dickie Robertson.
 It is stated by the players that Rob ertson is a crab. It is further averred that if an error is made behind him the little spitballer will lose his temper and often the game. There would be criticism to this temperamental defect in Robertson were 1t not for the fact that whenever the Barons happen to make a bunch of errors Robbie is the fall guy. It looks as if Robbie Is jus tified in feeling peeved.

 After winning over Virgil Day and Willie FSncher, two of the best right handlers in the Southern it was galiing for the Barons to taste defsat at fhe hands of George Merritt.

Little Rock. Ark. June 2.-(Speciui.} After allowing the Travellers hut three hits and one run in seven innings, Dick Robertson, premier pitcher of the Southern league, ascended and took the Barons with him in the eighth inning, letting Little Rock score three runs for a to 2 victory.
 With one down, Starr grounded to Clark Carroll muffed ClarlS's throw, and Starr took second. Downey popped out to Ellam. Baker drove a single to Sloans territory Starr scoring. Mur- ray followed with another towards Tod, whose pretty peg to catch Baker going to third was dropped by Hemingway when Baker collided with him. CVV- ington laid a bunt toward Robertson, who mussed it up and made late throw to Carroll. Chesnutt called Gov tngton safe, Baker scoring with the tieing run.
 The Birmingham team gathered around Chestnut and Robertson led the discussion The debate dragged on and Chestnut told Robertson to get to the bench. Hardgrove went in, pitched four supposedly wilf balls to Shaw, fill- ing the bases Mofey derricked Hard grove and sent in Black Gibson poked one at Black and beat the throw to first. Murray scoring with the Travel CTS fourth tally. Merritt ended it by popping to Clark.

 Coombs was safe at first when Baker threw his grounder away in the fifth inning. Carroll singled past short, Coombs halting at second. Both We're advanced by Ellam's sacrifice, and scored when Wallace lined pretty sin gle to center.
 Wallace smashed a double to left to ptart the eighth inning, and took thlro when Robertson beat out bunt Wal lace was held at third when Magee hit into double play, Downey to Gov ington to Starr. but scored when Hem ingways high fly back of short fell between Shaw and Jantzen.

Giants and Braves Tie

Boston June 2.-New York and Boston played 10 innings to a to tie in shv- ering weather today. The game was ci-lled because of darkness, Six New York run ners actually crossed the home plate. but one run was lost in an unusual maner. Burns, from third base, had raced for home when Moran caught Doyle's fly. The Boston outfeder threw the ball toward the home plate, but Captain Doyle of the Giants interrupted it at first base. It was his contention that the ball was too late to catch Burns at home. The um- pires ruled that his interference retired the base runner and the score was lost Crutcher pitched well for Boston. all of New Yorks runs being due to errors. The Braves hit Tesreau hard, but were

The German paper Boersenblatt culls
from a Leipzig daily an amusing little
anecdote of the war from the point
OF view of the lover Of books and
learning. The story runs thus:
A certain sergeant Of reserves
whose occupation in private life was
that Of professor of romance philol-
ogy, was one of company escorting
troop of French prisoners from Maui
beuge into Germany. The lieutenant
in charge was alarmed by hearing
sounds of quarreling behind him. He
turned and saw the sergeant in vic
lent alteration with one Of the pris-
oners. The Frenchman gesticulated
wildly, and the sergeant's blue eyes
blazed angrily behind his steel-rimmed
spectacles. The officer few to sepa-
rate them, but burst into hearty laugh

explained to him by his excited COM

BOY Scouts as Coast Guards.

The British Boy Scouts have proved
their value since the outbreak of war
Four hours after the call came thou
sands of boys were at the disposal of
their country. One morning tele-
gram reached a British commissioner
asking for thousand scouts. The
same evening he had four thousand
standing by waiting for orders.
Many an adult warrior in the Brit
ish isles first knew he was wanted
when scout brought him letter tell
ing him where to report himself. The
emergency substitution work of the
lads was wonderful.
The suddenness of the war meant
that many coast guards had to return
Immediately to the navy. Yet their
work was more necessary than ever.
Hundreds OF scouts took their
places and had the time OF their lives
staying out all night or watching all
day through big telescopes for the en-
emies' ships.
1t was a hardened journalist who
confessed that lump came into his
throat when late one night he met a
small group of scouts dragging their
trek cart, laden with bivouac gear. and
moving quietly through the dark to
their vigil on the cliffs.
