"Bean Ball'' Under Fire;
 Quick Action Expected

ball purposely at the batter's head and instruct him to give him his base when he does so, you're putting another "balk rule' on the boolSs-one that will be en-
 forced so seldom that it will be worth
 while only as bit of theory. The balk rule is never thoroughly enforced; yet
 it keeps pitchers from taking liberties
 so as to avoid arguments. So might it
 be with the rule against 'dusting them
 off, it would make the boxman more careful.
 Every balk that is called raises storm,
 unless it is one of the plain,. open kind which occur but seldom. Consequently the umpires don't worry about it often. The same would be true of the bean
 ball'' rule; the umps would be in con-
 stant turmoil because he didn't or he
 did. It's makes lots of trouble for the
 umps, but since it may be csaving the life
 or the career of the ball players the rule
 to give a batter his base following a
 palpable use of the bean balI' may be a useful innovation.
 Framers of the rule would have to be
 exceptionally careful as to it's wording.
 They would have to solve the question
 first as to whether the penalty should be
 made against the pitcher, both for inten- tional and unintentional use of the "bean ball' Should the rule only apply to the intentional use of the old-time strat- eBy, the poor umpire WOuld De up a tree, as every time he gave the player his base he would be impugning the char acter of the offending pitcher. On the other hand, the penalty might be added for the unintentional offense on the ground that it is just punishment for the pitcher whose control is so poor that he endangers the life or safety of the batsman.
 Anyway, the 'bean ball discussion is going fast and those who reyel in sem sations are having their inning. If any thing can be done to prevent John Dodge fatalities and the cutting short of careers like Scotty Walkers. Jimmy Gillespie s and others in the Southern and all other
 leagues it should be done.

Double Header Rained Out
FOOD FOR RANDOM
By FRED 8ODEkEls

Two Southern league teams are lost and there is a strong probability of another victim being added to the list before many hours pass. The Barons hopped on a train yesterday in Chat tanooga and pulled out for New Or leans, with very little prospects of reaching there today in time for their battle with the Pels. Moley and Sec retary Tyson decided however, to at- tempt to make the trip and loaded all the Barons and other luggage on rattler and are now en route to the Crescent City.
 How long it will take the Barons to make the trip is little less than mys- tery. However some miracle may al- low the struggling Barons to arrive in Pelville in time for their scheduled battle with the Dobbs aggregation, but the odds are that they will fail in thelr effort. The Barons are scheduled to meet the Pelicans on Monday also, so if they fail to play today double bill can be played tomorrow.
 The Barons haven't had a thing that looks like work since Wednesday, when they copped a battle from the Lookouts with about as much ease as possible The Barons have a couple of straight victories to their credit and invade New Orleans with the odds entirely their way for the brief series. The Pels are not playing any too good ball these days, while the Barons are travelling at a merry clip. It would not be surprising to see the galloping Moley clan take a couple of games.
 Moley is afraid of an epidemic of sore wings and stiffness, following the lay-off that his crew is enjoying. We do not fear this, but what we do rear is an epidemic of laziness. It's nat ural for ball player to be lazy and this sort of weather certainly does prompt it. However, old man Moley is a pretty good M. D. when it comes to this sort of stuff and with wins at such a premium, an epidemic of any sort is not especially feared. An epi- dernic of wins would be the only thing in this line welcomed, and we might get that.
 The Barons open the series with the Pels today with either Elmer Ponder or Preacher Perryman on the hurling slab. The entire Baron flinging staff has had all sorts of rest and it would not be surprising to see the Baronial boss rush any of the pitching staff into the battle. Dick Robertson may receive the call, as Dickie is usually effective against the Pels with his splitter.
 And still President Baugh is not sat isfied. The league head is discouraged over the rains that have formed a curtain over the southland for the : past few days, chiefly because his clubs cannot get out on the ball field and stage a few exhibitions of the

Doc Mccoy, the present titIe-holder, will have a hard time in holding his crown, especially with the interest at the height it is at the present Tennis courts in all parts of Greater Bir- mingham were put into use the earlier part of the week and the youngsters are priming for the big fight.
 According to experts who have wit messed the play of the youngsters this season, Mccoy will not be able to re- tain the title. William McWane, the Y. M. c. A. champion, and Hewitt Smith, the runner-up in the Y. M c. A. tournament, are both picked to end we'll in the tourney. The former IS generally picked to carry off the high est honors.
 The play in the tourney will be held on the new clay courts of the Bir- mingham Athletic club. Valuable prizes will be offered. Other details will be announced later. Entries can be made at the Athletic club to Secre- tary Beavins.

Owing to the steady downpour that has besieged Birmingham since Wednesday, and flooded all parts of the city, officials of the second annual junior tennis championship tourna- ment decided late yesterday afternoon to postpone the play until July "A. The tennis courts in Birmingham have been made practically unusable for the next week or so by the hard rains, and rather than have the matches played on muddy courts, it was unanimously agreed upon to post pone the tourney.
 Entries for the tourney have been coming in rather slowly, but with two weeks left to register, the list is ex- pected to be the largest of any boys tourney in the state. Last year the boys tourney witnessed over 30 boys in the fight for the title and the in- dications at the present are that this number will be almost doubled.
 Ten entries were made up to Friday

 That some legislation ought to be at
 tempted against the habitual 'beanball-
 ers'' is apparent The pitchers ought to
 be prohibited by law from flinging the |ball at the batter's head for purposes of
 Intimidation. No one has ever questioned
 of course that pitcher should be ostra-
 cised for deliberately trying to hit bat
 ter on the head with the ball; very few
 pitchers would do that, but there are worlds Of them who throw a ball fre-
 qGently right at the batter's head to

 and get himsAnervous.
 Some managers-many managers, in fact-argue that "dusting them off, Is a
 necessary procedure. They say that hit .ters who crowd the plate and have a tendency to make the pitcher put it on the outside, as well as getting the ad- vantage of the break must be driven away from the plate in some manner, and made to take position at a legti- mate distance. The batter's position does not accomplish this, as it crowds the plate itself and allows the batter to touch the very edge of the platter. The "dust him off, custom undoubtedly is bad, but at the same time you can't for bid pitcher from putting the ball close | in where he knows batter's weakness | exists.

Chattanooga, July S.-(Special) their hotel. the BarOns boarded a rat tier tonight for New Orleans. Officials of the railway company informed Sec retary Tyson that the ymight or might not be able to put the team In New Orleans in time for game sunday. Efforts to communicate with New Or leans officials to whether there would be any change for a game sum day were futile, and since another is scheduled for Monday anyway, the Bar Ons took the train and trusted to luck to reach their destination.
 The sOj0urn of the Barons in Chat tanOOga just ended was disastrous fog the club strong box. 1t is the first time that the new no-guarantee rule has been vividly brought home. Moreover there is no recourse and the only chance the club has to recoupe will be when the last series is played here in August and the added crowds for three double headers in succession will not be sufficient to atone for what was lost on this trip.
 It will take the Chattanooga ball park several days to recover from the drenching 1t has received in three days of continuous rainfall, and it ispfOrtu- nate that the club is scheduled to take the road. Early dawn was sufficient to show that tOday's double header could not be played. and Secretary Ty- son at once set about his transporta- tfOn arrangements. MOleswOrth would not say tonight just who would work for him in New Orleans tomorrow if a game is played. Everyone of the Bar on pitchers is sufficiently rested and was in good trim when he last had on his uniform Thursday.
 MOley fears an epidemic of sore arms and stiffness as result of the near drowning, but doubtless the other clubs pitchers will be in as bad shape
 The three-day delay was not un- welcome for the LoOkouts as far as playing ability went. The local team was badly bunged up and needed time for patching. At the same time. lft- tie peep into the future shows that there will be lots of trouble for both pitching staffs August IA, 15 and 16, when six games must be played to conform to the schedule.
