TEXAS YOUTH SETS
 PITCHING RECORD
Pitcher Davis of Killeen High School Strikes Out
 "A Rival Batsmen

New York July 3.-The record of "A strike outs in a nine-ining game, credited to Pitcher Davis of the Killen (Texas) High school team in the contest against the Belton High school nine, on April 22, appears to rank with any pitching 1eat now recorded in the annals of baseball So far as is shown by the leading com pilations on baseball, the feat stands Tn a class by itself. Whether it is world S record is hard to determine because un- usual pitching exhibitions by amateur, school and college teams are not kept with the same care that is devoted to trose of the major and minor leagues.
 So far as the records show it is the best strike-out performance for a nine inning game to be found among the available data in existence today. A careful search disclosed that the National league record of strike-outs, under slml- lar conditions, is 19 made by Charles Sweeney in the Providence-B Boston game of June [, 1884 The American league rec ord was made by the late George (Rube) Waddell. who famed 16 in the contest between St. Louis and the Athletics on July 29, 1908.
 Pitcher Daley struck out 19 in Union association game between Chicago ana Boston on July ', 1884; Tom Ramsey Turned r batters back to the oench III an American association contest between Louisville and Cleveland on June Z, lSSI and this was a remarkable performance as at that time the four-stril<e rule was in existence. On August 21, 1909, William Mitchell famed 20 batters in Texas league game involving San Antonio ana Galveston During the year 1912 Frank Davis of the Knoxville, Appalachian league club, and Fred Applegate of the Blue Grass league, also famed 20 bat ters. A A. Stagg, now coach Of the University of Chicago, while student at Yale, struck out 20 Princeton patters ac in the Yale Princeton game of May 26, 1888, and this Is probably the best col lege record to date.

Although the entry list for the big six and a half mile bicycle race this afternoon is the smallest of any pre- ceding events, the race promises to be the best of any staged in Birming- ham this year. Only Is riders qualified for thG<event last night, but every in dication is that a thrilling race will be the result of the riders efforts.
 It is generally admitted that the fight for first place rests between Tom my Hinds, Fleming Laughinhouse and Stanley Stephens with the remainder of the riders to fight it cut for the other places. Hinds. the winner of the two preceding races, is the favorite and has a large following, but both Laughinhouse and Stephens are ad- mitted to be excellent riders and are counted on to give the scratch man d hard race.
 The race will start promptly at 1880 o'clock. Referee Mitchell stated last night that the race would start on time by all means. which indicates that the event will be completed be- fore 2 o'clock. A large number of prizes have been donated by the various bi- cycle firms in the city and all are worth the strong competition that. is expected. The time winner of the race will be presented with a medal.

It usually takes about two weeks for the danger to pass off.
 Cecil Coombs was rareing to play ball yesterday after being out of the line up for about month. Moley will not put Cecil in his old garden but will put him in right where he will not be forced to chase so many flies. Cecil was batting at a terrific clip before he was forced to retire from the game, around the .320 mark. Nat urally, he will find some trouble in recovering his dreaded batting eye, but it is an almost certainty that he will begin to line out his percentage of safeties before many days are passed
 Jimmy Eschen will continue to play in the sun garden with Emil Meusel in the midgarden. This will give the Barons good outfeld, fully as strong as with Tex in the battle. The line up will not be changed as CooInps will take Tex's place in the order. the cleanup position. Red Smith will work in the afternoon game today with Mike Hauser in the togs for the morninS affair.
 f1dTTy SlTdQIOru VIII leave LHlS morning for Kingsport, Tenn, to um- pire an amateur game there today. Harry will knock down quiet a little pile of bones for acting as chief boss of the affair which is supposed to be one of the biggest amateur games staged in Tennessee. Harry has wft- messed seasoning In the Southern league and will no doubt give good service.
 News was received in Birmingham yesterday of the hard luck that had befell Eddie Hemingway, the former Baron and lately released by the Chicks to San Antonio in the Texas league. In one of his first games with Dolly Stark, Eddie was chasing a fly and stepped in a hole in the field and broke his right leg. He held the hall, however, and the catch robbed the bat ter of a safety that would have de- feated his team. Now Eddies laid up in a hospital and probably ruined for the rest of his days as far as ball playing is concerned. What re- ward will he get?
 President R. H. Baugh of the South ern league announced yesterday morn- that Umpire Bill Bernhardt, one of the arbiters of his staff, had resigned. The resignation of the big umpire took effect yesterday afternoon and Dan Pfinniger was left in Birming- ham to work the Vol-Baron series alone. Bill is former Southern league manager, having led both Nashville and Memphis several year ago.
 Bill resigned to go in business with his father in California. Bill is help ing his daddy put over big deal and provided he doesn't go into business with his dad he will take up an offer in Memphis. Bill says he is getting too old to travel about so much, and wants a quieter life. President Baugh stated yesterday that in losing Bill he loses one of the best umpires on his staff and that he accepted the resignation with much regret.
 MT. Baugh would not state yester- day when a successor would be named, but it is probable taht one will be selected for the job within the next few days. It is understood that he has his lines out for Bill Brennan, the former National leaguer, who is now umpiring in the Three-Eye. league Several other names are being prominently mentioned. Dan Prem ninger will work alone until the new umps is selected.

A hard shower about o'clock yes terday afternoon made play in the first game of the series between the Barons and Vols impossible and Managers Molesworth and Ellam agreed to call the game off. Two games will be played today, the morning game will start at 10:15 o'clock, while the after noon struggle will begin at 3:30 o'clock.
 The Barons and Vols were at the park in uniform yesterday when the rain began to fall, but got very lit to practice. aKrl Black and Floyd Kroh were scheduled to be the rival moundsmen, with Red Smith and Gabby Street behind the plate. Only a few fans had gathered at the park when the rain began.
 The game will be lost as the Vols do not appear in Birmingham again this season, and it will be impossi- ble to play the game here. However, it may be played at Nashville on the next trip of Moley and his hire lings to the Vol camp. Both teams were anxious to play the game yester- day and it was near 3 o'clock before the game was officially declared postponed
 Black and Kroh will be the oppos- ing moundsmen in the game this morn ing, with Smith and Street behind the platter. In the afternoon game, FL mer Ponder will face Bill Ellis or Frank Herbert.
 Yesterday was pay day for the Barons and the Vols and the idle play CTS rented the corners for the after noon and took delight in viewing the regular afternoon parade. Although the teams were anxious to play in one respect, the rest was welcomed. The Vols especially took advantage of the day off. Following the series with the Barons today, the Vols will enjoy a few off days. The Barons leave to- morrow morning for Chattanooga, where they open a four-game series.

He also stole two bases. Griffin had three on in the ninth, with one down, but could not score. One of tomorrow s games will be played in the morning, the other in the afternoon. Box score:

Olu jupiter PluviouS is again in the spot light. The old master shelled the city for about 30 minutes yesterday afternoon, and after his curtain of water had ceased to fall, inspection of Rick wood Field revealed the fact that it would be impossible to stage ball game, and consequently the Barons and Vols were idle for the after noon.
 We have a hunch that the rain just naturally cheated the Barons out of win, for the Barons were set for a hard battle. Karl Lougen- slager, but who also answers to the name of Black. was due to as- cend the hill for the Moleys against the Ellam bunch, while Floyd Kroh, the star southpaw of the Vols, was booked against the To- calls. It would have been a south paws battle, but it was postponed until this morning, when the two portwheelers will get at 1t In the morning exhibition.
 
 Two games will be played today to celebrate the golrious Fourth correctly. Consequently, for the Barons to celebrate in the proper fashion, nothing but couple of wins would be acceptable. How ever, rather than fail to do this, we would gladly accept one win and one defeat. The morning game will start promptly at 10:15 o'clock. while the afternoon battle will be- gin at the usual time, 3:30 o'clock.
 The box seats were put on sale yesterday and greater part Of them had been disposed of late yesterday afternoon. The entire right section of the boxes were sold in less than an hour after go- ing on sale, which indicates that large crowd will witness the game. Though as large a crowd as witnessed the game on previous holidays is not expected. owing to the poor standing of the team, but the re- cent winning streak has done much to aid the attendance. It's a safe bet that if the weather is fair over 5000 will see the game.
 
 ineligible list yesterday morning by Manager Molesworth, following his conference with the former Cracker. Tex has not fully recov- cred from the blow on his bean in Memphis last week by Cy Barger and Moley deemed it advisable to give him a little rest. Tex will be absent from the game for 15 days.
 Moley is working the old ineligi- ble list to death this season. No sooner than one player gets back into the lineup another star is forced from the lineup. That's the sort of luck that has been wished on the local crew all the season. Tex got an awful blow, judging from his description of the affair yesterday. A quick turn of his head in any direction and he sees rings. Some one remarked that 'it was a good thing Tex was not a Jew, or he would be the happiest fellow in the world"
 The ball got Tex back of his right ear, but did not leave an inn pression, physically, but Tex will always remember the swat. Moley stated that he had rather do with out the services of Tex than take the risk of causing a blood vessel in his head to break. This, accord ing to the Baronial boss, Is the chief aftermath of being 'beaned.'
