Charlie Starr and his bunch of 1rav-
eIers departed from Birmingham last
night after making their farewell ap-
pearance for the 1916 season at Rick
wood Field yesterday afternoon, but
Carlton Wordsworth and his bunch of
erratic Barons, the visitors walked
off with the final game of the series.
The final count was to 2. the win
giving the Travellers two out of the
trio of battles staged.
The BarOns played their standard
game, lacking the punch to put the
runners over the plate. The story of
Stalled to hit in the pinches,' also
stands. The Travellers were Outhit by
the BarOns by five waIlOps, but the
crew of MOley was forced to accept
defeat. Clubbing the pill when the
hassocks were occupied is the lone ex-
PLANTATION for the Traveller win. Karl
Black and Jeff HoImquist were the OPP
poazD4 RurIers and the Baron port
wheeler had the best of the argument
aside from the first three sessions.
The Travellers took the lead in the open
ing session, when generosity prevailed.
Buzzy Wares opened with clean smash
to center and swiped second. Tex Coving
ton laid down a neat sacrifice and when
Blackie pegged wild to first, Tex was
safe and Buzzy romped across. The TRAY
elers scored enough runs in the third
inning to put the game on the safe side.
Wares worked Black for a walk, but
was forced at second on Covingtons
grounder to Cation Barbara tripled to
deep right and Tex counted. Jacobson
tripled to deep left and Barbara scored.
Jake scored when Eddie Mcdonald threw
wild to the plate after booting the return
from the outfield and prompting Jake to
dart for home.
Barbare's single, Jacobson's double,
Walkers pass and Mannings infield out
gave the Travellers another counter in
the fifth. After this Black was complete
master of the situation.
BARONS ACTUALLY SCORE
The Barons' only talles came in the
sixth session. With one down, Danny
Clark singled to right. Eschen doubled
and Mike Hauser scored Dan and Jim
with a clean rap to left. Cation and Nc

Where Water Lilies Bloom.

 It is said that the water flower beds of the upper Mississippi are the largest natural lily beds in the world The wa ters of the nations greatest river as they spread out and flow quietly among the thousands Of islands from ideal conditions for the profuse production of lilies
 Fields many acres in extent bloom in remarkable beauty in the summer months. This year, owing to the un- usually high water, they did not begin to bloom until the last week in July. There are the fragrant delicate white lilies and more rarely the yellow lilies similar to the famous lotus lilies of the Nile.
 The lilies are most beautiful early in the morning and sunrise lily parties are popular pastime.

Holy Water Instead of Wine,

Before Sonora de Riano, wife of the Spanish ambassador, christened the first warship ever built in the United States for the Spanish government and bestowed the name Isaac Peral on the submarine, there took place a formal religious ceremony, and holy water was sprinkled on the ship. A prayer was read as part of this ceremony. Never before had warship built at Fore River ship yard been blessed and ehristened in this manner.
 No spectator was more interested than were the members of the crew of the Peral, who had arrived several days before and who were preparing to take the ship to Spain under its own power. Several hundred of the yard workmen also stood near by and cheered as the submarine slid into the water, amid the footing of whistles.
