The Crackers failed to arrive in Bir
mingham until late yesterday after
noon, both games of the scheduled
double bill being called off shortly
after 1 o'clock, when President R. II.
Baugh Of the Southern league received
a telegram from Manager Frank OF the
Crackers that they would not be able
to arrive in time for the games.
The series which starts today de-
cfdes which team will wind up the
season In fourth place and may pos
sfbly decide the holder of second or
third place. The Barons have not had
a more important series this season
and the Moleys will strain every ell
fort to win the majority of the games
and consequently beat the Ora Tkers
out in the final ranking.
FIVE MORE GAMES
Five more games remain on the
Barons' schedule. All of these are with
the Crackers four being at Redwood,
while the fifth and last is scheduled
for Atlanta on Saturday, the final
game of the 1915 southern league sea-
ferred to Birmingham, however. pro-
vided there is no Importance attached
to the result.
Both the Moleys and the Frankmen
have been travelling at very rapid
rate recently and when the two teams
lock horns four lively games are as
sured. Moley will send Key Perryman
and Dick Robertson to the hill in to-
DAYS games with Karl Black and Bur
leigh Grimes in reserve for the next
DAYS double offering. This will leave
Ponder to complete the seasons nos
tilities on Saturday Wilbur DAVIS ana
and FINS Wilson will probably be the
opposing moundsmen against the
Moleys today with AID Brennan and
scott Perry ready for the next days
programme. ~
A large crowd proceeded to the ball
park yesterday, being ignorant OIL tne
fact that the games had been post
poned The local club was not respoh-
sib,o in any manner as Frank, prop
ahlv anxious to give his pitchers all
the rest possible, did not depart with
his team until yesterday morning at
o'clock which would throw the Srach
ers in town about noon. Had the Dutcn-
r1an left Atlanta as he shoulo' iale
Tuesday night, they would have ar
;,-ad here in plenty of time for the
rame 1t was another great move Tor
the Dutchman.
MAY PASS PELICANS
Provides the Barons can take three
az the five games played with the
Crackers, they are assured OF the
fourth position if not one or two pet
ter. The Travellers begin three
game series with the Vols and TO re-
main ahead of the Barons, PROVIDED
the Moleys win three games, the starr
Ungs will have to annex two OF the
battles to hold third place. The Peh-
cans, occupants of second place by
narrow margin, begin three-game Sc
ries with the Gulls on tomorrow.
II the Pels and Travellers both were
~ receive rough treatment In the Ilnai
davs of the campaign while the Moleys
were licking the Crackers, second place
would fall to the local performers by
a narrow margin.
Usually, practically no Importance is
attached to the closing days OF the
campaign, but 1t is exactly reversed

tached to the remaining games ana

HARTFORD INVADED
BY RUSSIAN Horde
Hughes Was Correct, We're Lily

A. packa people paid a lota lucre
at Parsons theater, Hartford, last
evening to see an exhibition of ground
and lofty tumbling that might we'll
have been minor act at any one of
McMahon's mausoleums. The show
was advertised as the Ballet Russo
OR was it the Charlotte Russo? Well,
it was a ruse. anyway There were
many in the audience with perpendic-
ular pocketbOOks and horizontal heads
and the show was a success, as they
thought, if they thought at all, which
is doubtful.
A fella with an alleged moustache
led the orchestra through q wildwood
of music, it is claimed. Some thought
it was music and others were sur
prised when the selections We're con-
Guided as they thought the fills with
the fiddles were merely tuning up.
According to all reports the cloth
! ing stores in Hartford which make a
practice of renting boiled shirts and
soup and-nuts regalia did a hustling
business. At any rate, there were a
! lota people in the audience who were
| mighty surprised to find themselves
there and who wonder how they can
| steer the landlord away on the first
| Of the month.
They say aslaw Nijinsky and Mile
| Lydia Lopokova get a huge sum
every night for their contOrtions.
| Well, they earn it. So does the audi

Perhaps You Were Waiting For a

Ever since Leonard appeared before

pleaded guilty to the charge OF break :
ing into the Durant postoffice with
the intent to rob, there has been more
or less speculation as to when ne
would be sentenced and as to what ms
punishment would be.
There is little doubt but that the
name Leonard was merely one OF the
aliases used by this man. A few days
before he was sentenced he made the
remark to the officers that his family
did not know where he was and-fhat
they were ignorant Of the fact that ne
had ever been in trouble. From MS
appearance and conversation it Is evil
dent that he is from the better class
Of people and at some time in his life
