.BARONS SCHEDULED FOR DOUBLE HEADER
 WITH FRANKS TODAY
Yesterdays Game Rained Out-Moley to Work Hill and BIack-May Use
 One Hurler

Atlanta, June Special "A steady downpour, lasting for over an hour, shortly before time for today's game between the Birmingham Bar ons and the Crackers was scheduled to start, made Ponce De Leon park unusable and todays affair was post poned. Consequently. a double header will be played tomorrow aft ernoon, the first game starting at 2:50 o'clock.
 A large crowd was on hand this aft ernoon to see the two teams renew their battle for the second place. The Barons were in batting practice when the storm started.
 Manager Molesworth announced to- night that he would probably send Karl Black and Carmen Hill to the mound in the double offering. He may work one of the pitchers in both games, provided the second engage ment goes but seven innings. Manager Frank will send Otto Hess and either Rube Bressler or Tom Sheehan to face the Moleys.
 All of the breaks of the game were with the Barons in the game Monday and the Crackers were confident that they will take both epds of the af- fair tomorrow. The Barons can split even in the bill and then take the series

Canadians Discharged

Winnipeg, June 26-Sir Edmond Robin. George R. Caldwell and James H. How den, who have been under indictment for months charged with conspiracy in con nection with alleged fraudulent construc- tion of the Manitoba Parliament build ings, were discharged today by Justice Prendergast. Thomas Kelly, a contractor, who was convicted in the case, now is serving a penitentiary term.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-27

Recently compiled statistics show that Ed" Geers has won more than S1, ,0O0,00 in purses and stakes since he drove his first race in the Grand Circuit. No other driver of trotting horses has equalled this record. Now that syndicate stables are the thing it is not unlikely that some day some one will win more money than Geers has won, but each succeeding season his long career is ended the verdict of horsemen will be that. take him for all in all, we shall not look upon his like again.

BARONS ONLY THREE GAMES BEHIND PELS IN TENANT FIGHT
Crackers Top Moley's Men by a Game and a Half. Crucial Series at
 Redwood

Although rain interfered with the Baron-C Cracker clash yesterday, the New Orleans Pelicans slipped a half galme away from the Crackers, holders of sec ond place, by virtue of their win over the lowly Mobile Gulls. Consequently the Pels are now a game and half in the fore of Charley Franks men.
 The Barons' position at the present IS better than any time previously this sea son. Moley's men are now in third place by safe margin. The Pels are on the top of the ladder leading the Crack CTS by a margin of game and half, as stated above. The Crackers are lead ing the Barons by the same margin.
 Moley's men, after they complete thelr trouble in Atlanta today returning to Redwood tomorrow afternoon to open three-game series against the leading Pelicans. This will be the golden op- portunity for Moley's men to battle their way into the lead. Of course, they must cut the lead of the Crackers a little more and winning the double bill today will be about the only method open to the local aggregation.
 True, the Barons are battling thez Crackers on their home lot and th4&
 
 counts a heap, but it would not be sYI prising to see Moleys men administe& double licking to the -Dutchman's crF It all depends on how Moleys pitcfE selections work. If the Barons z backed by fair twirling, then the wrE \ ing crew will do the rest. While the Barons and Pelicans aref ting at Redwood, the Crackers WI \ living easy off the lowly Gulls. ks B ever you can never tell. Look whH k Gulls did to Johnny Dobbs prize s3L S gation last Sunday. That double wAS X about all of the sensational ball the Gc1k had in them and they will probably Da' lucky to grab single fray from the Franks.
 Probably some of the largest crowds or the season will be on hand for the Bar on-Pel clashes. The Pels are not very good road team and this should be or some value to aid to Barons to landing pair of wins at least.

ENFIELD ERRORS GIVE
 PELS EASY VICTORY

New Orleans, June 26.-Mobile's infield fell to pieces behind Brennan today in the fifth inning and New Orleans bunted it's way to to 1 victory.
