BARONS AND VOLS DIVIDE DOUBLE
 ATTRACTION IN TWO GREAT GAMES
CEFLAN WINS BICYCLE RACE:
 HINDS WINNER OF TIME PRIZE

In the closest and best race held in Birmingham this year. Sam Ceflan won the big six and a half mile bicycle race yesterday afternoon by margin of about 100 yards over Red Laughinhouse who finished second. Mike RandO who led the race up until the last half mile finished third. about n block ahead of the next riders.
 The time prize was won by Tommy Kinds who finished fifth close behind Otis Foster who ended fourth. Laughin- house was second in the time finishing in r minutes and 40 seconds. Hinds' time for the course was 17 minutes, 2 seconds.
 Although only 10 riders started, the race was the most interesting of the trio staged in Birmingham this year. Mike Rando set the pace for about five miles of the course, averaging a speed of about 2O miles per hour. In the last mile he was passed by Ceflan, who crossed the tape with safe lead Random was passed on the home stretch by Laughinhouse.
 Only one slight accident marred the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-05

|, race Otis Foster sustained a badly bruised back as the result of fall near the end of the race. Foster was press ing Ceflan for second place at the time of the accident. He finished the race well, however, and passed Hinds on the home stretch, winning out by margin of about two yards.
 August Stuckler was sixth and John Maggini was seventh. Phil Bone was eighth, Bob Horton ninth and Harry Finn tenth. Ceflan, who won the race, com pleted the course in IS minutes and 34 seconds. Fosters time was 19 minutes and one second while Stuckler's was IS minutes and A seconds.
 A large crowd witnessed the race, a number following the riders about the course. The entry list was lessened by the failure of several riders to ride after paying their entrance fee. Stanley Stepn- ens who challenged Hinds and then dis appeared, was among the missing. Carl Mabee also withdrew.
 The race was a decided success and indications are that another will be held in the near future. The race yesterday was promoted by the riders, but received the backing of the dealers. It was run under the rules of the National Cycle association.

well spend the day in seeing the national game played. Bobby is on his way to the Texas league, where it is understood he has several young stars in view. He would not comment on any of the players of the Vols or the Barons.
 He stated that there were several players in the Baugh circuit that he had his lines on and that he would return within a short time and give the youngsters a once-over. His chief desire is fingers, but someone has mislead the former Billiken pilot in searching the Baugh circuit for pitch CTS. Outfielders are also on the de- sired list. The Barons can say a few words here.
 Several fans came forth with the statement after the game that the only reason that the fellows played such jam-up game was because an ivory hunter was in the stands. True, the Barons were aware of the fact, but that's not the reason. The Mo- leys were just determined to win that game, that's all.
 Kid Caton is about the most popular player on the team at the present. And he deserves all he gets, too. The Kid pulled off several great plays yes- terday that caused practically every fan in the stand to doff their lid to the runt Eddie Mcdonald was also in the game with the goods in large bundles. In fact, every member of the nine played a swell game and it was nothing but the hardest sort of luck that caused us to fail to annex both battles.
 The team pulled out last night for Chattanooga, where they take the Lookouts on for a four game series. Two Barons, Tex Mcdonald and Dick Robertson were left behind. Tex is out of the game for 13 more days, while Dickie will leave tonight to join the squad Following the series with the Lookouts, the Barons take on the Gulls, Pelicans and Crackers and then come to Redwood for long stay.
 Elmer Ponder is scheduled to work today's game against the Lookouts. If the big Texas league recruit is right we will annex another battle. Our efforts against the Lookouts have been successful thus far this season and the Moleys departed for the Ten nessee city last night determined to cop the honors.
 Watch our smoke,'' was the fare well word of the Barons as they pulled out We hope they burn up the league in winning old ball games. We believe they can do it-and hope so, anyway.
