ways a bad sign. for 1t shows that he has an absorbing interest in his work, and that he is not perform ing for the money only but for the games sake.
 Then, too, there are things which no man, be he a man, will toler- ate from another. and 1t seems, from all reports, that Tennant went over the limit in his coaching.
 The sooner that visiting players learn that Moley's Barons are gentlemen and must be treated as such, the less trouble will there be.
 There was considerable criticism of Rudderham Friday for his re- .fusal to banish Tennant from tho coaching lines. It was the con- sensus of opinion that inasmuch as he had been involved in the diff fculty he should be banished. Buddy was little quick on the trigger, too, in chasing Moles- worth, 1t seemed
 If there is anything in this ear, burning stuff, it's wonder his ears didn't set fire to his cap as the re- suit of the sentiments expressed about him on the blrmlngnam bench. The Barons have an idea that Rudderham is against 'em just on general principles. He has given several close decisions against the club and this has heightened the impression.
 A stenographic report of the re- marks heard on the Baron bench during the fracas and immediately thereafter, when prepared for pub lication, would resemble Euro pean war correspondents account Of a battle. It reads about as follows:
 Robertson: ......! ......!
 Grimes: We'll, ....! ......!
 Black: :! ,......!
 And so on to the extent of 1s men or more.
 Proxy Smith was sitting beside Moley during the fracas, and he never opened his mouth. but when the manager was banished the clubs head took direction of the team and sent 'em on to vic- tory. MT. Smith knows more base ball right now than a lot of man agers in this league.

lBARONS CLOUTING THE PILL
 AT 201 GAIT AND FIELDING .065
COMMENT ON WINNING THE BAUGH ATTENDANCE TROPHY

Other cities of the circuit accepted their defeat gracefully in the matter of the opening day attendance cup, and are congratulating Birmingham. A few of the representative comments follow:
 From the New Orleans Daily States;
 New Orleans, however, loses the cup as gracefully as Birmingham wins it. Why's and wherefores as to the han dicap the Barons and Crackers labored under and then topped the local club are numerous and sensible--poor show ing of both teams in the first four games.
 It is not impossible to '.kop the kup.' The record, 12,222, held by Birmingham, can be made to look like a Servian fortress after the Kaiser's siege guns finished their work But to win the trophy it is going to take a lot of hard work and also some money, and if Proxy Heinemann takes advantage of or Birmingham next spring and bring either team here for a game the fol- lowing day, together with improving upon the scheme said to be in prac- tice all over the country, New Orleans will land on top.
 Until the attendance trophy game is played on 50-50 basis, the Pelicans haven't got a chance in hundred of winning the cup.

Echoes From the Battle

This is about neh.s and fight ing on a baseball field and the causes thereof. It is inspired by the encounter between Dickie Rob- ertson and Tom Tennant at Rick wood Field Friday afternoon. in which the latter had the last laugh owing to the fact that his oppo nent will be suspended and he will not.
 This is not the only battle that has been precipitated at Redwood by players of opposing teams using language which Birmingham men felt called upon to resent. Other battles recalled just at present are:
 July 4, Charlie Carroll vs. Dave Callahan of Nashville
 April 16. 1915, Cecil Coombs vs. Calhoun of Mobile.
 August 30, 1915. Grimes vs. Dolly Stark of Nashville.
 The fight serves to call atten ton to practice and a privilege that has been abused by baseball players. It is unnecessary and un- sportsmanlike to use vile language on the coaching line and the lengths to which some players feel they are licensed to go are entirely be- yond the limit
 1t would be very good idea for President Baugh so to instruct his umpires. The attempt to rattle an opposing player by brillingsgate should be drowned upon by league authorities
 Despite. the fact that fisticuff is not an edifying spectacle a baseball crowd is never too severe upon a player when he becomes involved in one of it thinks he is in the right, and it is probable that Rob- ertson will find the sympathy of the fans with him in his suspen- sion.
 As long as high-strung. thor oughly developed athletes are op- posed to each other in contests over which they become worked up just so long will there be fights. When d ball player fights it is not all

his favorite hold barred. Lewis does not underestimate the wonderful Bel gian champion. for he knows that Draak is one of the cleverest catch as catch-can wrestlers who ever came to this country from Europe. M FLYING HEADLOCK DANGEROUS
 Followers of wrestling believe that the toe hold is the most terrible grip in the game says Draak, "but that is an erroneous idea. You cannot deprive an opponent of his life with the toe hold. You can kill with flying head lock or strangle hold. The stran- gle hold is barred in professional wrest- ling. but the flying headlock and toe hold are permissible.
 Tt is possible for strong wrestler to break his opponents neck by quick wrench of the head with a punishing headlock. Probably more wrestlers than any other hold. A wrestler of small stature may become a giant In relative wrestling ability after perfect ing g. headlock or some form of this grip.
 q have not used the headlock very much. because in Europe it is barred. If had perfected the hold like some American wrestlers then could use 1t to good advantage.
 Ed Lewis is considered the best ex- pert in the game on the flying head lock; he has won fame throughout the entire world as great strangle hold wrestler, and no doubt spent much time in perfecting the flying headlock.
 '"The flying headlock is secured in two ways. It may be placed on wrest- Ter when he Is on his hands and knees on the mat, and in this position an arm is usually locked with the head If the attacker is on the right side he may push down the head of his oppo- nent, resting his left arm heavily on the head. He reaches under his opponents right arm and grabs his own left hand just below the wrist. In this way the head may be drawn toward the arm with which it is securely locked against the attacker The right arm of the defensive wrestler is helpless, and he may be drawn to the side and easily forced to the mat.
 Lewis flying headlock however, does not include an arm. This is the form of the headlock that beat me the last time I met Lewis; this form of the headlock is nothing more than strangie hold.
 "rhe flying headlock is one of the most effective holds in wrestling. When once secured by Lewis. 1t is usually all off with his opponent. but the hold should be barred from the wrestling game.
 With this dangerous hold barred, | will beat Lewis sure"

Some Interesting Data on First Six Games of the Season = Coombs Heads Hitters and Derrick Leads Fielders
By JOHN ANDREWS

1t is readily recognized that six games do rot make season any more than one swallow a summer. but the work of player in six match games will furnish an indication of what he is capable of doing and give a good line on his future.
 Not counting yesterdays struggle to date the Barons have participated in six championship games. in which 1G men have taken part For that period the team touted aforetime as the weakest with the willow in the league has swatted the ball for an average of 99l, no mean figure for a team.
 The Barons have been at bat 240 times, have scored 4s runs on 70 hits, have made 1S2 put outs with s2 assists and 10 errors. which gives fielding average of e65. Birmingham has scored an average of seven runs per game and has averaged Il o-3 safeties per contest in ball playing which it will be hard to beat
 OPPONENTS SCORES
 AS opposed to this, the Barons' oppo- nents have been at the bat 2lS times, have scored 25 runs on 64 hits and have made 1s errors. This indicates that the Barons are not only better batters, but better on |
 the paths than the average.
 Cecil Coombs is the hitting star of the Baron aggregation Cecil is swatting the pill for .5s6 and is fielding 1000. He has been at bat 2S times and has secured 15 bingles, six of them doubles and one triple. Coombs at the same time is field : ing 1000, having accepted 14 chances with out an error This kind of ball playing is hard to beat Coombs acquires consid- erable additional merit owing to the fact that he has been dragging one leg like a log owning to a very severe charley horse. We are sweet on Cecil and don't mind admitting it.
 Danny Clark is another youngster who is setting the woods on fire. Danny is swatting in the six games at S45 clip. Danny is leading in run getting with s counters to his credit and has accepted 39 chances with two errors
 No one would suspect Bill Lindsay as being an accomplished pilferer, but he has acquired more stolen bases than any other Baron. Bill has gone down to sec ond successfully four times. Bill Is charged with of the 10 Baron pebbles. but he was fortunate in that none of them were particularly costly.
 Among the 300 hitters on the team may be mentioned Red Smith, with 1884, and Hauser with .444. Lindsay is batting 2S5, about his normal stride, while Me- Donald hasn't gotten his eye on the ball as yet. Mack has secured but five bin- gles out of 2T tries. One of the five was for the circuit, however, something no other Baron has done this season.
 Derrick is proving the class of the league as fielding first baseman. He has accepted 67 chances without an error so far and has had some difficult pickups. Of course, as stated before, everyone realizes that six games are not a season, but they furnish basis for interesting and Illuminating speculation.
 Detailed figures for the team follow:

From the Atlanta Journal:
 Good-by to the cellar
 Tell me not in mournful numbers
 That the Barons won the cup,
 For my interest is more centered
 In this fact: Were going up."
 Whatinthehelldoesa esanoldcupamountto anyhow?
 The official counter of Birming ghan having outcounted the official counter of Atlanta and it having been definitely ascertained that 12,136 human souls paid their way into Redwood park in comparison to the 11,614 citizens who coughed up to get in Ponce de Leon therefore with all due solemnity, pomp and glory or whatever may be appro priate under the circumstances, let the cup be handed to Birmingham.
 When you think of the fact that 12,- 900 people represent 75 per cent of the population of Birmingham it is more than ever boost for the pa triotism of the people of this crude lit tie town.
 We congratulate Birmingham and are too happy over the defeat of New Or leans by the Crackers to shed any briney tears over loss of a cup. Take the old cup and run along with it. At lanta has too many serious matters on hand for the next several days down at Ponce de Leon to do any worrying.
 From the Nashville Banner:
 Again Birmingham wins the attend ance trophy in the Southern, proving beyond any question of doubt that it is the best baseball city in the South ern league

AUBURN WINS TWO FAST AND EXCITING
 GAMES FROM AGG|ES
Suggs Pitches First Game. Wynne Gets a Homer. The Auburn Infield
 Plays Poorly
Fly J. H. LovELAcE

Auburn, April 22-(Special. )--Auburn took both games of double header from Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical here today, to 1 and to 4, making s clean sweep of the series.
 The games were fast and exciting and the second game of the double header hung in the balance until the last half of the seventh inning, when Wynne hit one to deep center for the run that united the score. The first game was featured by the hitting and fielding of Griffin, by Ducotes long drive and by the capture of line drives by suggs and Bobo, both Of which resulted in double plays The second game was featured by the fled- ing of Milligan, by wynne's long drive, the fielding of Loper and timely hitting Of Shaw and Brannon.
 Aubarn scored two runs in the first in- ming of the first game, when Prendergast walked and Ducote connected for home run. Ducote also scored the third run for Auburn in the eighth, when after be- ing hit he advanced to second or Griffins single and scored on Wynne's double Mississippis run came as a result of double by Brannon, following Loper's single.
 AUBURN PLAYS POORLY
 Loose play characterized the work of the Auburn infield in the second game and kept the pitchers in hole, while Brannon and Shaw were hitting timely and driving in runs. Mississippi took the lead in the third following Bobo's double. but Steed tied things up with a double just after Nfilligan and price had hit safely and been sacri- ficed to second and third by Collins Mississippi scored one in her half oi the sixth. but Auburn took the lead in her half on an infield error, a long double and single by Griffin.
 In the seventh. Price was reached for three scratch hits. but retired the next two men easily. When Rogers hit to Wynne, though he threw wild to first, Griffin made a great stop of the bail. allowing only one run to score, though in making the play with his bare hand, suffered a painful injury which may prove to be broken hand. With the score tied, Wynne faced Shaw, who re- lieved Goza, and clouted the second ball pitched for a homer to center, breaking up the game.
 Mississippi has as strong hitting team as Auburn has played this year and an excellent trio of outfieiders. This double killing was the fourth for the Auburn team this season.
