Changes Tn Southern
 Are Fezv Tn Past Week
New Orleans Fails to Increase Its Lead as Mem. phis Plays Consistently-Barons Continue on Bad Slump and Are Practically
 Out of the Race

Atlanta Aug. 15.-Results of play in the Southern association last week practically were negligible. No team changed it's place in the league standing. and although New Orleans won three of the four games played, the Pelicans were unable to in crease their lead to an appreciabe extent because of the consistent work of Mem- phis, which won four of the six games played.
 Close observers awaited with interest the effect of the ayoff of three days for the Pelicans and two for the Turtles Resumption of play found Memphis hit runs than the Peicans, which was the reverse of the situation week before.
 In their four games, all away from home, the Turtles hit safely 43 times and scored p runs. In the three games the Pelicans played, also as the visiting team, they got 26 hits and IA runs, which was an average slightly less than that of Memphis. New Orleans, however. accord ing to latest avilable records, still leads the league in batting, with team aver age of .270. and claims the heaviest bats man in the league in Hendryx.
 After M Allison had held the hard hitting Memphis team to four hits last Sunday, Pelican admirers believed the recent acquisitions of New Orleans would help materially in keeping the team in first place. On Allison's next start how ever, he allowed the slumping Barons to get dozen hits and to win the game. 6 to 3. New Orleans won it's other two games of the week, with Weaver and Bagby pitching.
 Merritt proved of great value to the Turtles during the week. On Thursday at Little Rock the Travellers took kindly to Bushelman's offerings and Merritt re. lieved him, and Memphis won. The next day the Travellers scored four runs in the first inning, when Robertson started the game Manager Lord again called upon Merritt. and he held his opponents score less, Memphis winning, 6 to 4. On Sat urday Merritt pitched. the entire game and Memphis won again, although the Trav- elers got nine hits.
 Little Rock apparently lost a good chance to get out of eighth position last week, as the Travellers lost five of seven games played. while Chattanooga took advantage of the few days it did not rain The Crackers played indfferently and with three losses and one win reduced their chances of getting into the first division. The averages of Mobile and Birmingham were little changed, as each won two and lost three. Nashville split even on its four games.

MORE TROUBLE WITH
 THE LEAGUE UMPIRES

New Orleans. August 15.--Atlanta won two seven-inning games from New Or leans today, the first by a score of to and the second to O. The first con test was won by the visitors because of errors, while the second was due to the excellent pitching of Day. Day allowed cnly one hit and that occurred when no runners were on bases
 The second game was played with a squad of police placed on the playing field near the bleachers to prevent the spec tators from throwing missiles at Umpire Chesnutt. Despite the vigilance of the police, however, a number<of bottles were hurled at the arbiter from the right field bleachers. Pitcher Bagby of the locals on two occasions during the intermission be- tween the games had to be forcibly pre- vented by the police and his team mates from .assaulting Chesnutt because of his alleged abusive language to Bagby when the pitcher protested against the umpire S decysions in calling balls and strikes during the first game Scores:

CINCINNATI REDS WIN DOUBLE HEADER OTHER SPORT NOTES
SONGS ID BE SUNG ON SUFFRAGE DAY Gala Occasion Promised for Wednesday at Rick
 wood Field

All loyal suffragsts will be given a copy of ''choruss to sing at the game on Wednesday afternoon at Redwood Field in the first Suffrage Day" cele- bration of the local association. The Chattanooga club will be the opponents of the Barons for the occasion and in- cidental to the ceremonies there will be one-inning affair between two aggre- sations of girls.
 Following is the chorus that will be sung at the game:
 Its a long way to the pennant,
 It's long way to throw It's long way to the pennant,
 While around the field they go.
 Count on the Barons The rag is there to stay,
 It's long, Ions way to the pennant, But the boys are on the way. It's a long way to equal suffrage,
 It's long way to know, It's a long wa yto equal suffrage,
 But to victory we go. Good-by tn old injustice.
 Farewell to all delay. it's long, long way to equal suffragB,
 But we're on the way"
 The above will be sung to the tune of 'Tipperary," and there will be several song leaders in various sections of thes grandstand and bleachers to urge ths fans and fannets to outbursts of vocalsm.
 According to the suffrage leaders all the Barons are in favor of equal suffrage and it is a safe bet that with the bases full in the tenth inning and a score tie that the Birmingham team at bat that the state of Alabama would surely go in favor of equal suffrage.

BROOKLYN DODGERS
 ARE SETTING PACE
Only Three Teams Have Chance in the American.
 Feds Have Bad Week

New York, August 15.-BrookIyn set the National league pace last week md is pressing Philadelphia for the lead. The Superbas won six games, regained n strong hold on second place and put themselves In position to LispIace the leaders If the leaders falter.
 But the Phillies are not faltering. They dropped only one test, putting three to their credit and playing the game that has kept them at the front the greater part of the season. If the Quakers are headed it will have to be by a team that displays steadier ball. No National league team this year has put up a more con sistent game.
 The Braves are not very successful in working toward the top and still hover around the 500 mark. The Cubs also are recreant. Their losses for the week more than doubled their victories.
 The New Yorks. too, are laggard com bination. Coming back east from west ern trip in which their victories out numbered their defeats they fell victims to the Robins.
 The Pittsburgs despite their double de- feat today, on form have a good chance of working to the top. Only the St. Louis and Cincinnati teams seem out of the running
 Different in American
 The American league contest is a diff ferent affair. Long ago it became ap- parent that only three teams had a oh 1ol- seem fairly so have measured the chances of the trio. The Boston's won seven games and dropped one. Detroit and Chicago each played four games, winning three and losing one each.
 The White Sox are playing their old time fielding game while the Tigers are always dangerous factor. New York and Washington are still fighting for the remaining first division position with the Nationals dropping fast. The rejuvena- ton of King Cole and Carroll Brown has braced the New York pitching staff, while not even Walter Johnson could check the Red Sox in Saturdays en- counter with Ruth as his opponent.
 The St. Louis Browns have been drop- ping games with considerable regularity and the Clevelands had the advantage in points as the week closed. The dis rupted Philadelphias were outranked, dropping five straight games
 Bad Week for Feds
 Kansas City had disastrous week in the Federal league. plunging from first place to fourth. The first five clubs however. remain closely punched. Chi cago Was leading as the week closed with Pittsburg, Newark and Kansas City only shade behind. By winning two games today Newark tied Chicago for first pla ce. St Louis still heads the sec ond division with Buffalo. Brooklyn and Baltimore far behind that their chances of catching up are small.

Mobile, August 15.-tSpeciaI.)-M worth elected Black to do the mound work in the opening game for the Bar- ons with the GuIIs on the IocnI lot and his guess was good.
 Tex Covington went in for the Schmidtmen and the manager did the bnckstop work, while Hale acted in n similar capacity for the visitors.
 Ii was n game, with the final result to poor support of Covington and some stick work for the visitors.
 Black got into the worst hole imagn- able in the second inning following the making of two runs for his side in the initial inning. Perry first up, got safety back of first, but Dobard flew to second. Schmidt and Covington drew passes, filling the sacks. It was squally and none realized it more than Black Baumgardner sent a hot grounder to Ellam who begged out Perry at the plate on narrow edge. Miller who had singled in his first effort, was up, but flew to Magee. relieving great strain on Black.
 In the eighth, after Burge and Calhoun, who relieved Northen in the fourth at first, had grounded to Clark and out at first, Perry popped a fly back of first which it looked like Sloan could have captured if he had half tried. Dobard rext up, hit a hot one over third, the ball landing fair just inside the line and going good ~tof two sacks. Schmidt singled and Perry scored. Covington walked and the bases were frightened Baumgardner got life on Blacks tumble of grounder, Dobard coming in. Again Miller stopped proceedings with a fly to center.
