In the Rome series LaGrange broke the winning streak of Pitcher Joe Wiley, who had won every game he had worked in this season up to the La Grange series, by defeating the Rome box artist twice in one series.
 Matty Matthews team at Newman, by winning four games out of six played, supplanted the Rome club from the lead of the league. Even though Matthews has strengthened his pitching staff with the addition of Carl Thompson, the for mer University of Georgia, Atlanta, Bir- mingham and New York American pitcher, is expected to meet a reverse, as all of the clubs are now playing good ball, and Rome and Newman will no longer have the cinch they have expe- rienced during the earlier part of the season. Newman won one game from Talladega, three from Griffin, and lost one game to Griffin and LaGrange.

The Barons were idle yesterday. That is idle in respect to playing ball, for the majority of Moley's clan or oal tossers spent the day in one of the numerous summer resorts of the Magic City. The fellows open up today against the Little Rock Travellers, the prize bunch of sluggers of the league. For the Barons to win this series 1t means that the fingers must pltcn strong ball and the team must dis play the form that it is capable of doing. In other words, play Class A ball.

The team is in rather crippled con dition and is by no means on par with the Travellers, who are in big squirt. True, the Travellers haven't a show at the rag, but Bob Allen is reported determined to land his team in the first division. The Trav- elers come to Birmingham for the second time of the season with mighty array of hitters, the kind that every pitcher in the business fears.
