SPORTS

still too early to judge him definitely, but it can be said that he does not look as if he were a mere flash in the pan. At the plate he stands up con- fldently, and takes a good, healthy crack at the ball. He has to date faced some of the leagues best pitch CTS, and has punished them alright handlers and southpaws alike. He has shown fine speed. He has caught on with the fans and the left field bleach- critics have adopted him as their own.
 Although he played in the outfield for Louisville, Farmer has had some experience as an infielder, and 1t is probable that Cal will make second baseman of him. Jim has had him practicing at second in the mornings, and likes the manner in which he goes after ground balls. He has good underhand throw, and covers a lot of territory about the halfway station.'
 It's a long lane that has no turn ing, we're told, which might be ap- piled to Atlanta scribes, who have begun roasting the Crackers for the first time since Atlanta has been in the league.
 In regard to the signing of Tom Reilly and the placing of Tommy Mo- Milan on the ineligible list by Char ley Frank of the Crackers, Fuzzy Woodruff of the Atlanta Georgian, says:
 Undoubtedly Reillys presence at shortstop will strengthen the Crackers. Tom McMillan has played the poorest ball of his career for Atlanta. He has had brilliant days, but most of the time his fielding has been uncertain and his hitting practically negligible.
 What disposition Frank will make of him remains dark and deep mys- tery. In this case, as in practically every instance throughout the season, the Cracker pilot is maintaining an attitude of distrust of the public without reason-that has done more than anything else to cause the pub lie to distrust the Cracker manager not without req son.
 Still. Frank has made no pronun- ciamento of either his action or his intent So far as the public knows, the Crackers now have r men on the payroll. It is natural to suppose that the necessary releases and suspen- sions have been sent to baseball head quarters. Frank hardly has the nerve to make such fragrant violation of salary and player limits. But, so far as the public knows, McMillan and Lennox and Clancy and everybod else is still retained by the Atlanta club

Rx FRED RODEKER

With the large grandstand at Rick wood Field filled almost to cnpacity and the Barons and Pels struggling for the leadership in the second game of their series, rain came down in tor rents and after the performers had been idle for about 20 minutes Umpire Buil- dog Williams, after giving the grounds a brief inspection, doffed his lid and announced all hostilities for the day at an end.
 Consequently the prospects of witness ing one of the best games of the season vanished and the fans hurriedly left the park. It was the third consecutive ladies day that Jupiter Pluvius had prevented a game and the members of the fair sex gave oissention when Umpire Williams made the announcement that allowed the players a half off-day.
 Three and one-half innings had been played before the rain began to fall but neither side had advanced a man as far as third base. Breton was hurling for the Pels and had the Barons going out in order for the part of the game that was played. Bob Higgins was behind the plate for the Dobbers.
 Diminutive Dick Robertson was on the mound for the Moleys and although the Pels had registered two hits off his de- livery, the Baron spitballer appeared to be in perfect shape. The Pels got two men as far as second. In the first in ming Eddie Edmondson singled to center and swiped second but died there In the fourth session, with two down, De- berry hit hot one down the third base line and Sylvester was walked. Thomas, however, ended the inning with a ground CT to Caton. The inning was completed in the rain

BIRMINGHAM WILL

President Gresham and Sec retary Digby Reach Agree ment to Stage Inter-
 City Series

Baseball fans in Birmingham which number into the thousands will he pleased to know that an agreement has been reached between the cOntrOllin 2 bodies of amateur baseball in Birming- ham and New Orleans whereby n series will be staged between the champion hines of each city. The local cham ptons will meet the title holders of the Crescent City in New Orleans on Sep tember and 10, while the local champs will battle at Redwood with the New Orleans nine on September 15 and 16.
 It has been agreed upon that a three-game series be played in each city, which will include one double header. Each team will be allowed to carry IT players and three other men. President W. D. Gresham of the Bir- mingham amateur baseball commission wired Fred Digby, secretary of the New Orleans association, yesterday that the dates were acceptable to Birmingham and the terms were considered closed.
 The series will mark further ad- vancement in amateur baseball in Bir- mingham. It will be the first inter- city amateur series in the south to be staged by the National Amateur Base ball commission. A sectional series is being staged in all parts of the coun- try and by this means it is hoped that the national amateur champion will be rightfully placed
 While Birmingham Is battling with New Orleans for the right to remain in the fight for the title, Houston and Dallas will be playing as well as Mem phis and Nashville. The winners of the south will meet the winners of the western title, who in turn will meet either the northern or eastern win ners.
 Practically all of the details for the series is worked out with the excep- tion of the minor points. The next meeting of the commission on Wednes- day at the city hall will probably wit ness the final working out of the de- tails.
