PLAYER DEBATE IS
 ORDERED ID TIGERS

Cincinnati, June 1.-Player DeFate of the St. Louis National league club was today ordered to report to the Detroit Americans by the national baseball commission
 St. Louis Nationals obtained first draft on DeFate at the draft meet ing last fall and exercised it. De- troit had second choice.
 President Navin appealed to the na- tional commission recently, stating that the St. Louis Nationals had draft ed DeFate with the understanding that he would be turned over to the St. Louis Americans. This was denied by eX-President Britton of the St Louis Nationals. but according to the commission an agreement filed dur ing the injunction proceedings by the St. Louis Nationals showed that Hickey was to do his best to turn over De- Fate to the St. Louis Americans at the earliest possible moment
 In concluding its decision today the national commission said: Club own CTS and officials are notified that the commission will exert itself to safe- guard the draft from scheming and collusion and will, where it is estaD- lished that the selection of a player by major league club is not bona fide, impose a severe fine on the gull ty club or clubs and if the offense be fragrant debar the offenders from eX- ercising the privilege of selection for one or more seasons"

Lad of l5 Years May {,
 Be .Nert Champion in
 Southern GoT Circl1s

The Atlanta golfers are going to make their strongest bid in years for the southern golf championship in Birming- ham next week and the New Orleans contingent will do well to go prepared to meet strenuous attack. A flock Of youngsters, headed by Perry Adair and Bobby Jones, are to represent Atlanta in the tournament and promise to make golf history.
 These young golfers have been threat ering to carry off all of the title tourna- ments in the past two seasons. At At lanta and Dallas, Perry Adair went to the semifinals and gave the veterans a scare. He ought to be due this year.
 Most of the Atlantans are depending on Boobies Jones, however. This lad of 15 years created a furore by his play in the national tournament last season and he has since won many club titles in his home state. Fact is Robbie is boss of the links in and around Atlanta and holds nearly all of the course rec ords.
 In match play Jones is undoubtedly better than Adair. He has repeatedly beaten Perry in minor events and those who have watched the two at play con- tend that Robbie has the brighter golf future. And so our next champion may be lad of 15.

COUNTRIES BEST IN ANNUAL HANDICAP
 AT DOUGLASP PARK
Eleven Thoroughbreds Are Named to State in Ken lucky Handicap-Old
 Rosebud FavOrite

Louisville, June 1-Eleven thor oughbreds, which horsemen credit with being the best handicap horses in the country, have been named to start in the fifth renewal of the Kentucky handicap at Douglas Park tomorrow.
 Old Rosebud, Kentucky derby win ner and the real comeback" of the American turf, probably will go to the post the favorite He has won three of his four starts this spring on Kentucky tracks, in one of which carrying 129 pounds, he covered mile and an eighth within fifth of a second of the track record. On the handicap he has been assigned only 120 pounds.
 Andrew Miller's Roamer, which is making his third trial for the stake, will carry six pounds less than last year, when he finished second.
 A. K. Macomber will be represent ed by Boots and Ed Crump. The en- try will probably rule second choice.
 J. W. Schoor, who saddled Luke McLuke, the only Swear old which ever the handicap and who won it with Ed Crump last year, will depend upon Cudgel, Swear
 The other candidates are Hodge, runner up in 1915; Colonel Vennie, King Gorin, Embroidery and Oppor- tunity. All will go to the post with many packers.
 The race is at mile and a quar- ter for 3year-olds and upward and was an added value of s10,000. It is the richest stake in America for the old division of horses.
 Despite the heavy rains of the past week the track is expected to be in fairly good shape.

Don't think for an instant that Aaair and Jones comprise all the golfing tal- ent that Atlanta will send to Birnaing- ham. Remember the Prescott boy that eliminated Louis Jacoby in the March tournament? Well, Tom is another Of the "kid" golfers to represent Atlanta. The ''prodiges" threaten to chase the veterans out of the title flight by sheer force of numbers.
 It was learned Thursday that the New Orleans contingent may be shy Nelson Whitney again. The four time southern champion is now in New York, and friends here do not know whether he will return In time to be a member Of the New Orleans team.
 However, there's much confidence among the enthusiasts of the Crescent City in Reuben Bushs ability to re- peat. Bush has all the requisites of the successful golfer, can play any club in the bag and well, and when on his game Is one of the hardest golfers in the country to beat.

 You see climatic conditions in Rus sia are such that the uniform Is comfort able at all times. Our hottest weather never gets anywhere near as hot as it is in Birmingham now.

ARTHUR JOHNSON RELEASED: COMSTOCK IS ADDED TO STAFF
Elongated Righthander Is Handed Pink Slip by Moley-Barons in New Orleans Sunday,

Arthur Johnson, pitches on the Bir- mingham team for two years and last season with the Chattanooga club, has been released by Manager Carlton Moles- worth of the Barons, according to ad- vices from the Baron chieftan in At lanta yesterday. Johnson was released to make room for the new pitcher Ralph Comstock, who was purchased from the Louisville club of the American associa- ton.
 Comstock arrived in Atlanta late Thursday night, but did not report to Moley until Friday. The release pf John- son comes as no surprise, since lis work on the mound for the past few days has been very poor. Arthur was recalled from the Chattanooga Lookouts at the close of last season by Moley. He was loaned to the Lookouts in the spring of 1Ms.
 While in the Lookout uniform, Johnson made most creditable showing and for this reason he was recalled by Moles- worth. This season he has been slow to round into form. The fifth place on the hurling staff has been fought between Johnson and Karl Black for the past few days. Arthur made a poor showing in Chattanooga, while Blacks showing against the Atlanta Crackers oh Wednes- day was good
 Comstock will probably twirl Sunday or Mondays game in New Orleaps. The Barons complete their disastrous stay in Atlanta with todays game and move down to the Crescent City for a trio of battles. The stay in Chattanooga and Atlanta resulted in the Barons dropping the series. This morning the Barons are in fourth place and are only four games above the 800 mark
 The Barons are in terrible slump al the present. The pitchers are not going any too good and then the breaks of the game are going against the local crew The defeats are coming by narrow mar gins. it is true, but the team is not of
