A double header will be played at Rick wood field this afternoon, the first game starting at 215 o'clock, according to an announcement last night by Manager Molesworth of the Barons. The double bill will be played on account of the rain interfering with the game yesterday.
 It is the third double header of the season. A double affair was played with the Pelicans, which the Moley gang copped with ease, while the second bar gain bill was staged Saturday with the Memphis Chicks, which was split. More double headers have been played at Redwood this season than any other city on the circuit, some of the towns yet to witness their first double bill. Fans are taking advantage of the dou- ble offering and every double header to date has witnessed the stands well filed
 Today is the last ladies day that the team will be at home for until after June 8. when the Barons return to Rick wood after a long road trip, which in- cudes the four northern towns of the circuit. Moley would not state for sure who he would work in today's fracas last night but it is thought that Karl Black and Burleigh Grimes will be his choice for the two frays. Manager FL berfeld will use 'Rube" Marshall and Lefty Allen in all probability.
 Provided that ideal weather greets the Barons this afternoon, another large crowd is expected to see the games. Both games will most likely go for nine n- nings, which means that the fans have the opportunity of seeing two full games for one price. Indications are that fair wea ther will give the Barons the chance to cop another double affair. and thus take the big end of the series.

The rest of the team looked exceedingly good, but when Price had to go the route against Georgia on very cold cay, he emerged with a sore arm. This meant that Suggs must do double duty and he stood the task nobly Then the hardest blow of the season fell, Ivey Griffin broke the bones in his left hand as he slid into second and the best college first baseman in the south was out of the game for the sea son. This called for numerous shifts, which tore the team Up, on the eve of the series with Mercer The strain told on Suggs and Mercer defeated him in a fl ee hitting contest. Price, who had been out with lame arm tried to come back, but he had not had enough rest, and Mercer won the second game. The team rounded to form after this and won the series from Clemson and Florida.
 The team hitting average is over 300, and that includes the ten men who ap- peared at bat more thrn 25 times. Jack Wynne lead the team in hitting with an average of .423 and great many of his hits were for extra bases, four hom- CTS being in the lot Collins, an even 100 points behind, was the next best hitting regular after Griffin was forced from tho game. Steed, who is national 300 hitter, fell considerably below his aver age because of being shifted from the out field to first and having to learn the new position in addition to bearing the worries of the captaincy. In no game was the team held to less than three runs and the average runs per game was over 6.

Auburn May 22.-(Special.)-Th base
 ball season of 1916, which came to close
 at Auburn with a double victory over
 Florida last week, was the best Auburn
 has enjoyed in a number of years. The
 team, with it's IS victories in 22 starts
 easily earned the championship of the Is, l. A. A The percentage of .777 in SE l. A. A. games was earned through winning two out of three from Georgia
 Tech and Clemson and by winning three straights from the University of Georgia, . Mississippi A. and M. and Florida. Only one series was lost during the year, a
 double bill being dropped to Mercer
 The team played the most difficult
 schedule of any college nine, as 21 games
 were played in IA days. necessitating a
 double header in every series. Of the
 seven double headers played Auburn won both games in six.
 That the team should establish this rec ord with It's many handicaps and injuries is a tribute to the real worth of the team and to the coaching of Mike Dona- hue. Donahue has 8 peculiar habit of winning about championship a year. He has failed to cop first honors in foot ball at times, but when basketball would come around he would take the honors. In 1906 and 1907. when a championship in football was undreamed of. a champion ship basketball team appeared. This year the football team lost out through in juries and the basketball nine was not made of champion stuff, but when base ball came Auburn was there with the punch.

DOLLY STARK TO
 TAKE REST CURE

Memphis. May Especial )-Dolly Stark. deposed manager of the Chicks, returned to his home here today.
 When informed that the Memphis club had asked waivers on him, that it had been stated that Mobile, Little Rock and Birmingham had offered to take him, and asked if he would join either club, Dolly had this to say:
 T am not in any condition to play now. It would be doing myself and any club I signed with an injustice. I expect to go to Hot Springs. Ark. and remain there until I am fully re- covered. It will probably be a month at least before I am able to play.
 "The last few games I played with the Chicks was against the advice Of physicians. I'm suffering from a wrenched back and strained fragments in my right hip. Several physicians have advised me that it would be un wise and taking risk of permanent injury if I attempted to play for a month at the outside"
