...Chasing The Rainbow..
nixon Waterman

often call to mind the years when l,
simple child.
With quaint, fantastic stories was SO
happily beguiled;
And ever, when across the sky rain
bow behold,
recolect my boyish search to find
crock of gold.
I quite believed the story, and with
eagerness profound
I dreamed of wealth awaiting where
the rainbow reached the ground.
And in my youthful innocence l
started out to make
My first vain chase for rainbows we
can never overtake.
Dull truths have come with fleeing
I'm wiser now than then
Yet, after ALL boys strange thoughts
resemble those of men.
We're children of a larger growth and
love to chase, in truth,
The same delightful phanton.a hat
beguiled us in our youth.
We miss the honest beauty that may
hide in homely facts,
The while vague. romantic hope our
longing gaze attracts;
And none of life's duh certainties can
in our heart awake
Such dreams as do the rainbows we
can never overtake.
Thus we pursue the witching tints of
every hue and kind,
Filled with an eager hope that we
shall fame and fortune find;
While kindly opportunities unnoticed
pass US ny,
Since all our thoughts are centered on
the bow across the sky.
Just over there Wen grasp the prize!
a little way it seems
To where the bow of hope comes
down to gladden. all our dreams.
And not until life's sun is set shall one
of us forsake
The rare, Elusive rainbows we can
never oYertake.

Galbreath Knocked Out in
Fourth-Harrell and Love-
less Pitch Great Ball

The Postoffice Pirates were practically
eliminated from all further chance at
pennant in the Greater Birmingham
league yesterday afternoon when the
Grayson nine went down in dereat perore
the strong Avondale Mills by the count
of to l. The game was one of the best
amateur struggles witnessed in Birming-
ham this season. The battle was staged
at Fleetwood field
The Pirates met defeat through their
inability to hit Smoky Bob Loveless, and
the poor showing of their star twirler,
Stats Galbreath. The Millers knocked
Galbreath from the mound in the fourth
inning with shower of safe blows. Don
ME Harrell, the former star twirler for
the Central High school nine, then as
sumed the twiring responsibilities and
held the Millers safe for the remainder
of the game.
Harrell twirled fine ball and at no time
did the NIllers appear dangerous. Gal
breath was hit freely during the earlier
innings but fast fielding saved him in
the pinches.
Loveless pitched a nice game and held
the Pirates to four scattered hits The
Pirates outfielded the Millers, but the
lack of the punch to shove across tallies
cost the Pirates the verdict
Over 500 enthusiastic fans, largely sup
porters of Avondale, witnessed the game.
Intense rivalry was shown. The game
was a postponed affair, and the victory
placed the Milers in the lead. Score:

INDIANAPOLIS MARE
SETS WORLD RECORD
Miss Harris M. Wins Board
of Commerce Stake in Two
Straight Heats

Detroit, July 25.-Miss Harris M,
daughter of Peter the Great driven by
Lon Mcdonald today won the $1,000 Board
of Commerce stake for POS PAGERS, the
feature event of the second days grand
circuit program. Incidentally, Mcdonald
drove the indianapolis mare into world
record for two consecutive heats by a
four year-old mare and also established
new record for the Board of Commerce
stake, heretofore known as the Chamber
of Commerce stake. The new mark was
set in the first heat, which was covered in
201 IA, and the world record was COM
pleted when Miss Harris M. negotiated
the second mile in 2:01%
Miss Harris NJ. outclassed' the field in
the first two heats. In the first mile,
Mcdonald held her back until the three
qUater pole. Here he let her out and the
bay mare slowly overcame the lead of
Goldie c. and won by length. The sec
ond heat was virtually repetition f,the
first, Mcdonald driving his mare in sew
eral lengths ahead of Sadie Densmore.
The third heat furnished the real fight
of the race Miss Harris M winning in
gruelling finish with Savoy, Sadie
Densmore and Billy Dale. Billy Dale LED
to the three-quarters, with Miss Harris
NJ. in second place. At this point the
field closed in and the finish was so
close that many of the spectators were
uncertain as to which had won.
The 2:12 trot for three-yeer- olds, with
$500 added was captured by Harrod's
Creek. Expressive Lou, picked to win the
event, took the first heat with little
difficulty but lost by nose In the second
and was so far behind in the third that
Murphy slowed down before reaching the
finish The last half of the second heat
was sepped in 101A
The other event on the card today was
the PIP pace, which went to Patrick M,
under the placing system. The second
heat, won by Duimeter, provided the best
contest, the finish being so close that
only the judges could separate them.
A large field will compete tomorrow in
the Merchants and Manufacturers $4,000
stake for 2:0S trotters.

exception, having already announced their
IL terror and readiness to stay in another

and the Braves are counted as strong
contenders.
King Baseball is fast nearing the
end of his ruling power. Already the
football bee is buzzing round and
within another month practice for the
falls big gridiron contests will begin
in earnest.
The Barons are back at Redwood
tomorrow with the lowly Mobile Gulls
as their guests. Hope it's pie.
There is no getting away from it,
gents, the calibre of ball in Dixie il
furlongs ahead of the brand in the
international league. The latest proof
is the whirlwind clip set by Mig
Clarke with Rochester. Mig held
pension at Gulltown until he preferred
the midnight league to the Southern
and passed away. Still he was
sardine as a backstopper down here
but up in the Barrow circuit he is a
whale.
Figs may. not often be gathered OF
thistles, but then, too, the ripest look
ing peaches now and then are fungus
eaten at the core as is witnessed by
the case Of Roger Hornsby, the Card
sensation, and Benjamin IA uh, 9
Giant by name, and a pygmy with the
bludgeon. Hornsby set the Cards back
no more than the price of a grand
opera ticket, while the Giants parted
with a kings ransom to entice Viole,
Benny into their corral.
Now Hornsby stands as the wonder,
Of the age, is a youth who is learning
by leaps and bounds, while Kauff, up
against fancy slabbing, is a bloomer
Rogers clubbing figures against the
same sort of hurting are BIB, he holds
the league record for extra base drives
in a single combat while Benny holds
the record for failing in the pinch.
Likewise, Kauff is hammering at 9
.277 clip, now that he has no puny Fed
eral boxmen to feast upon, which was
where he picked up his whaling figures
off weak hurlers in the Gilmore cir.
cult Time has proved that.
Hornsby was nabbed by the Cards
from Dennison for almost a songS and
is making his debut in the big tent
with a lusty roar. At Cincinnati not
long back he poled out a homer,
triple and two singles in one combat,
eason's record for total bases in
single combat.

Cubs Romp Over Braves

Boston, July 25.-Chicago defeated
the Braves, to 2, in eleven innings to-

allowing the run scored by the Cubs in
the eleventh, will be protested by Boston.
Zimmerman came home from first when
Fitzpatrick threw badly to first on Safer s
grounder. Boston will contend that Zim-

third only. Umpire Eason ruled that the

UMPIRE MORGAN OFF

It was strictly a day of the pitchers
and there were little features to write
of other than their work which was stel-
lar, and that of Umpire Morgan on balls
and strikes, which was consistently bad
on both sides.
With one gone in the fifth. Meusel
walked. Eschen slammed one down the
third base line that took bad hop from
Mcdonald He slapped at it with one
hand and managed to knock it down, but
was unable to make a play on any one.
Smith dropped a Texas Lacquer back of
short on which Meusel cantered home
on, and Eschen pulled up at third. The
latter tailed on Cations long fly to Mayer
After Wilson had hit for Brennan in
the eighth inning he made his first APP
pearance in the box as Cracker in two
months by twirling the ninth stanza. Fred
Derrick poled the first ball he pitched
to center for a single and Clark drove
one down the first base line that sent
Fred to third. Fred tailed on Coombs
fly to Moran.
The Crackers had their big chance as
related in the eighth and went out in
one, two three order in the ninth.

Grimes held the Crackers to two
hits; both of them scratches. Mayors
blow was questionable and had it been
the only hit of the game would have
been rubbed off the slate by the
scorers and Grimes given credit for
no-hit game and Clark an error, but
Munch's safe bunt a second later gave
Mayer the hit
These infield taps came in the eighth
inning when the Crackers had their one
and only chance to tally, and put two
men on the hassocks with no out, but
Perkins forced Mayer at third on bunt
to Grimes Wilson was easy for Smith
and Derrick and Thrasher with the two
tieing runs on the sacks stood up and
watched a grower sail through the mid
die.
In six of the nine innings the Crackers
did not get a man to first pase. IN
the fifth they got one on via the free
ticket and another in the seventh, but
neither got as far as second.
Ad Brennan, who hurled for the Crack
ers until relieved for pinch hitter in
the eighth, hurled splendid ball, also per-
hitting but three hits, one rank scratch,
but said scratch with Texas Lacquer,
a base on balls and a sacrifice fly came
in the fifth inning, scoring sufficient runs
to win the pastime.
The two McDonalds, with splendid stops
at third base and a great running catch
in deep left by Moran of drive from
Coombs' bat in the second inning which
robbed that worthy of an extra base
wallop, and a one-handed stab by Eschen
in the opening inning, after he had mis-
judged Reilly's drive, were the features
of the game, other than the pitching of
the two twirlers.
