BIKE RACE PROVES
 ID BE ONE OF BEST
 STAGED IN YEARS
John Magini Wins First HonOrs-Six Crack Rid CTS Fight for Lead for
 Entire Race
By JEROME COHEN

The big bicycle race which was sched- uled to take place yesterday afternoon proved to be the best, the fastest and most hotly contested of any that the local bicycle fans have seen in some years John Magini copped first hon. ors.
 There were nine crack riders entered, and all were on the ground promptly at 2 o'clock.
 They were off at the crack of the starters pistol and at the finish, after six and a quarter miles of hard and fast pedalling, the first six riders were only a few inches apart at the finish. Laughinghouse, Otis Foster, John Ma. gini. Red Miller, Foltz and Frank Rietta were closely punched all of the way.
 These six boys fought hard for the first place, Magini pulling away few inches near the end and crossing the tape 9 little in advance of the others.
 The finish was as follows:
 Magini first, Laughinghouse second, Foltz third, Richter fourth, Miller fifth, Otis Foster sixth, Rietta seventh, and Guy Foster eighth. Oscar Cox didn't finish.
 In addition to the number of valuable prizes given by the various bicycle deal- CTS, there also were others from firms handling accessories, as follows:
 First, one pair racing tires, donated by Fisk Rubber company. and one pair built up wheels by Horton, Riddle & Flynn; second, one pair Cadillac tires, donated bv Edwards hicyc1a store. third. one paiH Goodyear tires, donated by Goodyear Tire and Rubber company; fourth, one pair Panama tires, donated by D. R. Moody; Fifth, $5 in merchandise, by Hickman Cycle company; sixSh, one Solas bicycle lamp, donated by Shannon Cycle com pany.
 There were about 300 admirers of the sport on the ground, and all the old riders as well as the younger ones agreed that this was the fastest race ridden in Birmingham since the old bicycle days when the wooden track was used.

ANOTHER MINOR
 LEAGUE CRACKS
Three-I League President Says Minors Can't Exist
 Under Circumstances

Chicago, July War has forced the Three-Eye league, one of the oldest minor leagues of the country. to close its parks. The organization will suspend it's season next Sunday, President A R. Tearney announced tonight The eight clubs have lost approximately $25.0o0 since the start of the season eight weeks ago
 T have found that baseball has no business trying to survive in the smaller cities with the country at war" Presi- dent Tearney said tonight. The people have lost interest in baseball in the smaller cities where the war spirit is be- coming more intense"
 The closing of the Three-Eye league makes the sixth league to suspend this season The Virginia league was the first to fall. Then the North Carolina league suspended after less than six weeks of operation. The Georgia Ala bama league followed suit. The North ern league gave up yesterday because of heavy financial losses. The Dixie league announced its suspension today. Several other leagues are reported to be near collapse.
 Under the ruling of the National asso- citation of professional leagues, the Three Eve league will retain it's player and territorial rights.
 The Three-T I've league. which has been in operation for IT years, is composed of Peoria, Rock Island, Moline, Rockford Quincy, Alton, Bloomington and Hanni- bal, Mo.

As the result of the Pels double victory yesterday, the Barons, by di- viding with the Gulls, tumbled In third place in the league standing, The Atlanta Crackers are still at the lead by the margin of half game, while the Barons are half game below the Pels.

 victory today cannot possibly put the Barons in first lpace, but it will better their standing. Should the Crackers win, Birmingham will pass the Pels and retake second place. Should the Pels win, the Barons will pass the Crackers. A victory over the Travellers, while the Pels and Crackers are slashing, means an ad- vancement.
 A peculiar incident occurred during yesterdays game. Tn the first inning Umpire Chesnutt fined Doc Johnston for becoming rough on the field There was a close play at first and Scotty called the Gull safe. It made Doc sore and he threw the ball to the ground and in the meanwhile spoke few ungentle words to Scotty. The local product promptly raised his hand, signifying fine of $5.
 About the fifth inning, fans in the right bleachers called Doc to the side and presented him with enough money in pennes nickles, dimes and quar- ters to pay the fine. The entire as- sembly at the park applauded the act. It's something that doesn't happen very often.

Nashville, July 4.-Gleason's bat was a prominent factor in double victory scored by Chattanooga over Nashville this afternoon, the visiting second baseman clearing the bases in the. first game with triple and SCOT ing the first run in the second game with a home run. Ellis was wild and ineffective and was relieved by Cavet in the fourth inning of the first game after allowing four bases on balls and six hits. The scores of the games were to and 2 to l.
 Perdue pitched a superb game in the second, the only local run resulting from Gleason's wild throw, which was followed by Kauffman's double. Mea- dor, a recruit from Charleston, pitched fair ball. but was removed in the sixth inning of the second game with a run ner on third and one out for a pinch hitter. Scores:
