7raDelers Are Defeated Ln Exciting Fracas
TraDelers ShoW Speed On
 Bases Team Formidable
Patched Line Up Stas Aggregation at Present Plays Well Infield Needs Strengthening Team Should Be Con
 tender for First Division Berth

Charlie Starr's Little Rock Travellers are about the fastest bunch of ball toss CTS to make their appearance at Rick wood this season. Their work on the paths and in the field yesterday indi- cates, although no man on the team may cop the base stealing honors, their speed will greatly aid them in winning many a ball game.
 Yesterday, two infeld blows were beat out by the Travellers while there were at least six more very close plays at the initial bag. The Barons were not fielding slowly It was simply a bunch of fast runners they were throwing out.
 Starr's aggregation is far from being a weak one. The hitting strength of the team is good, while the outfield is one of the fastest and best fielding to appear at Redwood this season. It is not as good as the Barons. however, for Yardley in center is the only "extra well'' man in the trio.
 INFIELD IS WEAK
 Starrs infield needs strengthening. Dee Walsh, his regular short fielder, is out of the game with an injured knee. Mean while, Kennedy, a catcher, is performing in that position. Stevenson at second is not in the class of the best second sack CTS in the circuit. Tex Covington is his best man in the inner works. Tex is a hard worker and besides is a fine fielder and hitter Ed Manning on third is about the average. He is dangerous hitter.

SPORTS

The pitching staff is good. Baumgard- ner Phillips. Tincup, Robinson and Hard grove are the five regulars. Robinson IS the portwheeler and is supposed to be the best of the lot.
 The Travellers, as they stand at the present. are not of pennant winning ma terial The hitting strength of the team is fine. but it is sorely off in the defense, especially in the inffeld. The Travellers are strong enough, however, to give the leaders some trouble, but the addition Of good shortfielder and second sacker would add greatly to the teams danger ousness.
 LINEUP PATCHED
 The line up is a patched one at the present. Should Starr get all of his regu- lars back in the lineup and then his pitchers begin to twirl some winning ball, the club from across the Mississippi river must be recl1oned. Otherwise, it will be a team to hang around the middle of the league standing
 The Barons and Travellers clash again today Omar Hardgrove. the old sleuth, will probably be Starrs choice to oppose the Barons. while either Arthur Johnson or Karl Black will grace the hurling hill for the locals.
 12 victories out of the last 15 games played. The local crew is securely sit- uated in second place at the present and should the leaders--the Pelcans-falter, Moley's men would probably slip into the lead
 After the present series, the Barons go down to meet the Pelicans in three games They return next Thursday to clash with the Atlanta Crackers

NEW SCHEME ID BE USED AT R|CKW0OD Secretary West Decides on Plan to Locate Parties
 Wanted at Phone

Secretary Billy West of the Birming- ham Baseball association has devised a little scheme all of his own which he intends to put. into use immediately at Redwood. The purpose of 1t all Is to notify people who attend the games ana receive telephone calls that they are wanted at the box office.
 The Baron secretary had sign of blackboard made. The sign is about two feet long and IS inches wide. Across the top in big white letters is printed, Wanted at the phone" In the remain der of the space on the board. the name of the party wanted will be printed in big letters and a boy will walk through the stands with the sign.
 This scheme will be a big accommoda- tion to fans, especially business men who attend the game and may be called on important matters at any moment. Here tofore, the umpire has been forced to turn to the stands and make the announce ment. A greater part of the time the name was not understood and conse- quently the party could not be located
 So today if you are at Redwood and see a boy come marching around the stands with a name printed on it in big let ters don't be astonished. Get up, tip the boy and go down in the lobby of the grandstand and answer your phone caN.

CLUB MEMBERS IN LINE,

The Union League club of Chicago
has followed the old traditions OF the
patriotic founders OF the first Union
League club In the United States. II
will be remembered that at the opcn
ing OF the Civil war; when there was
violent disagreement In the north as
to whether the Union was worth
fighting for. group OF the finest citi-
zcns in Philadelphia started an or
ganization which they called the Union
League. From that came tho Union
League clubs in New York and so on
throughout the large cities in the
country.
The Union League Club of Chicago
has always kept tho patriotic purpose
or the founders to the front. It has
rendered good service In Chicago each
year by arranging a patriotic meeting
on Washington's birthday, which in
decd, is the only demonstration OF that
sort held in Il city of many nationaIj-
ties, people most OF all in need or in

would fall first in line toward conscr-

| members received notice from tho Of
t'ccrs of the club, that tho menu would
be sharply curtailcd and that on one
day of the week no meat would he

meat of all young animals and
birds would be cut from the bill on

were dropped and but two kinds of
bread would be served.
This is good form Of patriotic en- =
dcavor from which nobody will suffer,
When the food controller gets down ia
business drastic work along this line
will follow, beginning with the hotels
and restaurants of the larger cities.
