 BIG AQUATIC MEET
Will Stage Initial Feat of Season for Members of the
 Athletic Club May 10

Capt. J. N. Seymour Jr., in charge or the swimming at East Lake park this summer, has announced that his first feat of the year will be an aquatic meet for members of the Birmingham Athletic club on "Wednesday, May To. Captain Seymour made the announce ment several days ago and IS now planning to give the club members royal time On this date, Captain Sey- mour will also give an exhibition in fancy swimming and high diving.
 Captain Seymour, who made his bow to Birmingham swimming fans last summer, when he assumed charge of that branch of amusement of East Lake park, has greatly improved the facilities for bathing this season The accommodations have been bettered in every respect New bath houses have been built for both ladies and gentle men, with shower baths. This is a new feature for Birmingham. Over 1000 feet of board walks have been erected over the lake All kinds of new ap- paratus have also been erected. The bed of the lake that is intended for swimmers has been covered with gravel and this 1act together With the board walks will make swimming a much cleaner sport than it has been before.
 A section has been provided for water baseball" new game that has recently been devised. Wednesday has been set aside as ladies' day. All ladies will be admitted free from 2 o'clock until o'clock on every We'd nesday of the season.

WEEK ID
 WITNESS STRUGGLE.
 FOR FIRST DIVISION
Barons, GulIs and Chicks Have Disastrous Week. Vols Continue Win
 ming Streak

With Nashville, aided by the leagues best pitcher still going at 8 clip deemed out of proportion by all forecasts, New Orleans Pelicans, who opened the sea- son at top form winning consistently and Atlanta getting four straights from Birmingham, and then defeating Mobile, indications arc that third
 week in the Southern association will witness a keen struggle among at least six clubs for place in the first division
 Memphis, despite the bitter expeerf- week, Little Rock, whose pitchers have been improving steadily and Birming- ham, even in the face of the worst slump the Barons have known this sea- son, all have chance to end the week close to the leaders.
 Circuit experts still point to the Pel- jeans as the club most likely to weath- CT any series and still retain the lead Saturday, Dobb's men had won five straight games, but lost Sun day to Birmingham. Both Pelican of- fense and defense has proved stronger than had been even guessed this spring.
 Chattanooga, aftr dropping three out of four to Little Rock administered a decisive defeat to Memphis Saturday, pounding three Chick1saw pitchers for 16 hits. Memphis, however. came back with victory Sunday.
 Altogether the week ended most dis astrously for Mobile, Memphis and the Barons. Mobile dropped six in row, four to the Peiicans and two to Atlanta. Memphis faced four de- feats, while the. Barons lost five games. Little Rock and Nashville halved the weeks end games, leaving New Or leans despite Sundays defeat leading the league.
 Manager Schmidt of the Gulls has his intention of strenthening his team and has obtained Shortstop from New Orleans. John Clan cey, released by the Gulls, was signed by Atlanta. At Chattanooga Norman Elberfeld has cut down to four pitchers and is anxiously awaiting the recovery of Kitchens to bolster up his backstop The Travellers are bound, It is said, to strengthen their hurling teers and Pelicans seem to be satisfied with the present outlook. They artrib- ute their winning or losing, as the case may be. to the fact that they got started well or did not.

ONWARD RUSH OF
 TEAMS FEATURES
 RACES IN MAJORS
Brooklyn, Chicago and De troit Hit Strides Reds and Browns Suffer
 Slump

The onward rush of Brooklyn and Chicago in the National lcaguc anh of Detroit in the American featured the third week of the major league pennant races. During the seven days Cincinnati, in the National league, and St, Louis in the American, fell behind rapidly.
 Although not playing good base ball as earlier in the season. Philadei- phin maintained its lead in the Nation al league. Alexander, pitching two games. broke even and the veteran Chief Render lost his first game of the venr to his old tcammate, Jack Coombs of Brooklyn.
 Brooklyn made the most spirited ad- vance of the week. Manager Robinson reconstructed infeld appears to be good combination and his pitchers have improved The team batting was bet ter, Daubert leading in this respect.
 With the pitchers in good form and the batting power increased, Chicago was able to win seven straight games unde- feated by St. Louis Saturday. Mcconnell and Hendrix showed good form in the box and Zimmerman's heavy batting helped the Cubs materially.
 Boston, st. Louis and Pittsburg played in and out baseball, but managed to re- tain their approximate positions. Gin cinnati, despite improved batting, espe- cally by Chase, failed to keep up It's former fast pace.
 New York was unable to get started and did not win a game during the week.
 Detroit, with Cobb and Crawford both out for several days won four games and lost one, and gained the American league leadership Saturday. The hitting of Heilman and Veach filled the void made by the absence of Cobb and Craw- ford.
 The series between New York and Bos- ton gave the American league followers some excitement. The Red Sox were re- turned winners but the two teams are still neck and neck. Two of the Red Sox victories went to extra innings.
 New York was weakened by the illness Of Gilhooley and Magee, but managed to keep up a good pace. The batting of Nunamaker and Baker gave encourage ment to the Yankee followers.
 Washington and Cleveland showed inn proved form and are making opposing teams hustle hard to win. Walter John son won two games for the Senator's The batting and fielding of Graney featured Clevelands playing.
 Although Chcago's heavy hitters showed flashes of better batting form, the White Sox dropped slightly. The teams pitching staff appears weak.
 St. Louis dropped five consecutive games. Fielder Jones' men seemingly have dropped off both in batting and pitching.
 Philadelphia still brings up the rear in the American league.
 The weeks record in each league of games played, won and lost, with runs, hits, errors, men left on bases and runs scored by opponents including the games of Saturday, April 29, is as follows:

EDITED BY JACK BETHEA
FOOD FOR RANDOM
By FRED BoDEKER

The Vols were defeated yesterday. Al though unusual, Floyd Kroh was knocked out of the box. Little Rocks noted hit ters prounced on MT. Kroh and drove him to tine showers. Leclaire, the Cana dian, hurled fine game for the Travel CTS, allowing but five hits.
 The Crackers again took the measure of Mobile yesterday, pounding out 15 hits. but scoring only six runs. The Gulls gathered eight safeties off Finis Wilson and scored five runs. It's good com parison on what two teams can do with few hits and what others can do with bevy,
 The Iookouts continue on the downward grade. The Chicks defeated Kid Elber- fields club yesterday, although outhit Ed- die Hemingway, the former Baron, won the game for the Chicks when he singled, scoring the winning tally. Eddie is quite a favorite in Memphis, where he has been slamming the pill and fielding like a fiend If Eddie can keep this up, he will shoot to the majors next fall.
 Moley will probably work young Pon- der or Karl Black in todays game with the Crackers. Black hasn't pitched a full game for quite while, and it is prob- able that he will receive 8 try to keep the slate of the Barons clean. The Bar ons have won every game at home this season, and Moley and his crew will start their long home stay today deter mined to continue the record.

HEMINGWAY'S HIT
 DOWNS LOOKOUTS

Memphis, April S0.-Hemingway's single, the only hit allowed by Mar shall, who went into the box for Chat tanooga in the eighth with the score tied, opened the way to the 8 to vic tory for Memphis today. Messengers error advanced Hemingway to second, Craff's misplay put him on third and he scored on Walsh's sacrifice. Merritt, pitching for Memphis, was hit freely, but snappy fielding held down Chatta- nooga's score.
 Kitchens. sent to bat as a pinch hit ter for Chattanooga, in the eighth, went to first on Hemingway's error and scored on Messengers double.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-01

accomplish much in the run line be- cause Johnson had everything it took to hold the locals down. Stansbury and Sylvester were the only two Pels who hit him with any large success. Their one run was the result of one of Stans' three singles and a long hit by "Syl,' which took bad hop and went for three sacks. Johnson started off a little wild, unable to get his curve ball over to the satisfaction of Umpire OToole, but not until the eighth did he fail to put the straight fast one where he wanted it, and his only two walks, punched in this inning, got him into the pinch from which Coombs ex- tricated him.
 It was we'll that Johnson was so effective, as the Barons had to get nearly all of theirs through the wild ness of pitchers, being unable to hlt Buck Weaver or Dixie" Walker very hard. Weaver pitched three innings in his usual superb form, but in the fourth. after an error on hard chance by Bluhm. he walked two. A fast dou- ble play by Stansbury, Higgins and Bluhm relieved the situation tempor- arily, but Derrick handt been &C., counted for and he was good for the single which scored the pair of dead heads, by name Clark and Coombs
 After this inning Weaver retired and the Walter Johnson of the Southern league went in. Walker had two bad innings and was lucky to be scored on only once. After that he bot down to business in the regular Walker way.

Games Today

New Orleans, April 3O.-(Special) If the versatile MT. MoIesworth took iovdp from today's conquest of the Bar Ons, he might not look with the usual nbhorrence on railroad wreck or some other catastrophe which would cripple mp . few more of his men just enough to hobble about the diamond in the stride of his MT. Cecil Coombs and his MT. Mcdonald this afternoon. It is Fo these two crippIes that Moley owes 'fthe first victory of the season over the Pelicans.
 Score to l.
 McDonald's hit put the clincher on the game in the fifth by scoring Smith with the third run, and Coombs' run ming, or rather hopping, catch of a long drive to left field saved it in the eighth, when the Pels put over rally which got three men on bases.
 Coombs had limped about the dia- mond all the afternoon on his game foot and in the sixth inning failed to score on two singles after getting his base on balls. But when the game was in danger he forgot his disability and sped after Edmondson's drive like d normal two-legged man. Higgins, . Thomas and Stansbury were doing double-quick procession for the plate 'aind several thousand 1usty fans who had worked themselves into a frenzy over the home folks rally were lustily celebrating the hit which looked good for at least two bases. A hop, skip and jump, followed by several more and Coombs pulled it down.
 PELS' LAST CHANGE
 This Vas the only chance the 'Peli- cans had, after the fourth inning, to
