urged to use wood wherever pos
sible. The public is urged to
abandon CRATES and use 6repIaces

The scarcity of wood In Port

badly needed 1t will be brought in

pany in that Atlanta, Memphis and Nasn- Vile have gross percentage better than 800. The Barons are slightly below, and good finish this season will place them in the select company. Not a single record was broken last year and players should go into the com ing campaign determined to set a few new marks for future players in the league to shoot at. The majority of the league records were hung up in 191S--the banner year of the Southern league in every respect.
 LONG HOLDS RECORD
 Tommy Long of the Atlanta Crackers, now with the St. Louis Nationals, crossed the home platter 112 times in that mem- orable season and not since or before tfat time has any player neared this mark.
 Harry Welchonce, then the star out fielder of the Crackers and field leader, rapped out 193 hits-more safe wallops made by one player than ever before in the history of the league. His mark has also stood through the following cam paigns.
 Clayton Perry. then with the Mobile Gulls, the chief contenders for the Crackers in the fight for the pennant which stirred Dixie, rapped out Il con secutive hits. a record which is standing and will probably continue so for the re- maining years.

GEORGIA IS VICTOR
 IN AUBURN SERIES
Scout Mike Finn Sees Two Crack College Teams
 in Action

Athens. April 7.-(Special.) - Geor- gia and Auburn split the twin bill here today, Auburn taking the first and Georgia the last. Fox was in the box during the first game and deserved to win, the Georgia team failing to hit at opportune times.
 Auburn scored two in the sixth as the result of Collins home run. Price pitched splendid ball and the game was a pitchers battle between he and Fox. Collins was the star of the first, getting three out of four
 In the second Rawson and Griffin both games and was going good, but Georgia punched her hits in the fourth inning of the last and scored the win ming runs. Westbrook, who shut Au- burn out in Fridays game, was on the mound during the second and again decorated the visitors with coat of white. He gave up only four hits and beat out an infield hit
 Mike Finn. scout for the Detroit Ilgers. was in the stand, coming here to look at Clarence Rawson. After the game he said that he had come here to look at one catcher but had found two, being much pleased with the work of Hairston It is not certain. but it is probable that both these re- ceivers may receive tryouts with the Iisers. Following are the box scores:

Cutler and Martnson Confident of Victory Bout Monday Night at Jefferson-Large Demand for Seats-Mateh
 Will Start at 830 O'Clock

Both Charles Cutler and Paul Martin son, the noted wrestlers, who will grap-
 pie Monday night at the Jefferson theatre in the first of a series of wrestling matches to be given here are in Birming- ham this morning and on edge for the bout. tt-ss--as- ls Both men are confident of victory and ] both predict that the battle will be one of the greatest on the mat that Bir- mngham has ever witnessed. Cutler in
 particular anticipates hard fight but is confident of his ability to put the Dane on his back
 T have heard lot of this Dane and from all I understand he is mighty good man, but I believe I am little better" said Cutler in discussing the forthcoming match. 'They say that Mar tinson is a bear at the punishment thing, and that no one has ever yet made him cry enough. However I am | around here myself. and. believe me, ! that boy is going to know he has been in a fight.

 and I almost lost myself before I knew | it. l am glad to be back in Birming nam, l and l hope to visit here. frequently k1,., have wanted to meet Cutler long time, and I'd rather do it in Birmingham than any other town in the south I have
 heard lot about Birmingham in the
 east where it has the reputation of being l live town for clean sport. Wrestling has always been a favorite form of rec ! reation here, from all we hear, and all
 wrestlers are anxious to perform here. 1 For that reason I expect the bout Mon day night to be one of the greatest ever
 staged here. Cutler is a good man, but
 l think Monday night will find that l
 am able to put him down."
 1 The two wrestlers are both tremendous
 men and impress one with a sense of
 enormous power. Both are very light on l their feet
 1 All is in readiness for the bout Mon day night, according to an announcement from Brown Parks. The main bout will l start promptly at 8:30 o'clock, which is 1 late enough to give every one an op- portunity to arrive in time.
 1 The 'refereeing will be in the competent hands of B. J. Parry while Brown Parks
 himself will handle the front of the house, insuring courteous attention and treatment for everyone.

GUN CLUB SHOOT

The 50-target event resulted in tie be- tween Ryding, Hill and Warren, each breaking 47 out of their 50 shot at
 In the 10o-target race, John Warren led by breaking 93 out of his 100 shot at. H. c. Ryding made the long run of the day by breaking 4S without a miss, and was the only one to make perfect score of 25.
 MT. Hilzen and MT. Dickson were visi- tors, the former from Mississippi and the latter from Texas. r. J. Rowe shot for the first time in several years. Mir. Eddy is one of the new members.
 Everything is in readiness for big shoot, the clubhouse and cashiers office are complete, and the trap houses and walks are being put in repair. Targets are on hand. Any one desiring programmes can get them by addressing o. L. Carl, secre- tary

second. Kid Caton doubled to deep left and Red and Carmen counted. Burke hit a grounder to Bigbee and Caton took third. Johnston hit a grounder to third and Baird fumbled it. Caton scored, but Burke was thrown out at the plate attempting to register on the misplay. MAMAUX STOPS FUN
 Coombs and Webb singled in the next inning, but died on the paths. In the next frame. Manaux took the mound and the fun ceased. It was real ball game from then on.
 Burleigh didn't look so good on the mound yesterday. He's mighty good pitcher and will earn a regular berth with the Pirates. The Pittsburg team as a whole, didn't show any too much form while here. The outfield is strong, but Calla han must strengthen his infield if he expects to finish better than eighth in the National league
 The Barons played star ball throughout the contest and were again the deserving winners The fans are greatly pleased with the prospects of the Barons as rag contenders in the coming race. especially after the two victories over the Pirates.
 The Pirates games in Nashville for today and tomorrow were called off and consequently Callahan and his cvrew will remain over in Birmingham today They will work out at Redwood.
 The Barons will play the T. c. l. from Ensley Monday afternoon at Redwood. Other details of the game are in the box score:

Why? Simply because on Thursday afternoon 15000 of you must pack into Redwood park in an effort to win the 1917 Southern league attendance cup for your city.

Hill pitched a remarkable game. He allowed Jimmy Callahan's crew but one clean hit and that came in the first inning. Two hits are marked against him, however, for Walter Wer- ner misjudged a fly in the eighth in ming which fell safe and vent for two bases Hill had the Pirates at his mercy throughout the contest Usually they went out in order, but with a runner on base he pitched even better ball.
 The Barons clearly outplayed their major league opponents. Burleigh Grimes the former local hurler and who was traded to the Pirates at the end of last season, started the game against his former teammates. Time ly hitting and errors. however, proved hic downfall

BARONS SCORE FOUR

The BaronS scored eight runs off Burleigh during his four-session stay on the mound. His offerings were hit hard, but had he received the proper support of his teammates the Barons would have scored but few times. Bur leigh, however fielded his position bad and he, too, joined in the aiding of the Barons to shove across the tallies
 Al Mamaux, the young right-hander of Callahan and one of the best pitch CTS in the National league. was sent against the Barons in the fifth inning and he pitched invincible ball. The Barons did not register hit off his delivery during the entire four rounds he had charge of the flinging.
 Hill got a bad start, as usual, but steadily grew stronger as the game progressed. He passed Bigbee as a starter. With Scoops Carey at the bat Carmen uncorked 8 wild fling and Big bee romped around to third. Carey smacked E. single to right and incl dentally the only clean safe blow of the day, and Bigbee crossed the plate. Carey Immediately swiped second.
 CAREY VANISHED
 The flashy Pirate outfelder attempted to steal third and was called out by Umpire Swacina The play was close and Carey immediately started to row. 'Swats' wouldn't stand for any talk and Carey left the field. Carey con tinued his talk from the bench, how ever, and then Swacina ordered him out of the game
 The Pirates rocked along then un- til the eighth before they could even get as far as second. Bill Wagner lift ed high fly to right. The wind evil dently caught the ball and Werner was unable to snag it. Wagner halted at second getting credit for two-base smack. Mamaux went out Jansen to Johnson but Wagner didn't advance for some unknown reason. Bigbee hoisted a high fly to right and Wagner was held at second Shaw hit ground CT to Jansen and he fumbled it. Schult te hit line drive to center and Burke dropped the ball after making a nice catch. Wagner scored and Shaw took third. Hinchman, however, did not live up to his reputation as hitter, as the best he could do was to hit weak grounder to Jansen for the final out. The Barons got next to Burleigh in the first frame and counted four times befol the side could be retired. Caton hit 2 grounder to deep short and beat it out Ernie Burke bunted down the third base line and beat it out Baird was slow ir fielding the ball. thinking it would rol foul. Doc Johnston hit a slow groundel toward first Grimes fielded the ball anc threw wild to the initial sack, allowing Caton and Burke to score Doc reached third. Cecil Coonnbs lifted a long drive to the score board which went for three bases. Doc scored.
