 Kid Caton, the dimihutive shortstop, was secured by the Barons through the draft route. He was with the Dayton team in the Central league. He is a fielding phenom and Is also a terror with the willow. He Is bat ting .253.
 Milligan, who has been recalled, was secured from the Pirates about a month ago. He has pitched five games since joining the Barons and has won four. Three of these wins were shut outs, including one no-hit game for seven innings Milligan was secured by the Pirates from the Portsmouth club in the Virginia league. He was farmed to Scranton in the New York State league and when that club dis banded he was sent to Birmingham by the Pirates.
 Whether other members of the Baron team will go to the Pirates remains to be seen. The announcement of play CTS sent to the Barons in payment for "our stars" will also be awaited with keen interest. Mo1ey will probably make further announcement concern ing the deal when the Barons return to Redwood on August 24

 Swimming Meet

Joyce and Lionel Levvy will leave this morning for Atlanta to represent the Birmingham Athletic club in the annual A. A. U. meet for the southern swimming championships. Capt. J. Nick Seymour, Jr., will accompany the boys as instruc- tor
 The club had planned to send a five man team to the Georgia capitol to com pete for the southern honors, but devel- opments caused the postponement of the trip of all members of the team with the exception of the two Levvy boys. Both are excellent swimmers and will no doubt carry off some of the honors.
 Some of the events will be held this afternoon while others will follow to- morrow. Swimmers from all parts of the south will be in attendance at the meet and should either of the boys win place in any of the events they enter, club officials will be pleased

The deal is perhaps the largest ever arranged in the Southern league. Not in recent years has any clubs in minor league baseball sold five men to a major league outfit and have one re- called.
 Moley did not state in his message last night whether players will be re- ceived in payment or whether the sale was strickly cash consideration. Since the Birmingham and Pittsburg clubs have ''working agreement" it is probable that the men will go to the Pirates on the condition that oth- CTS will replace them on the local team next season.

PARIS. FraRce.-FarSighted observ-
ers declare that the engineer is the

not a mere superstition based uDon

seems rather to lie deduction from
the new spirit Of the Frenchman. In
tie words of a professor of the Cen

they should all enter the institute,
and il is generally recognized as a
fact that, in her hour OF need, France
felt the lack among her scientists OF
men able to give practical application
to their discoveries. ~. .....
France has had great engineers-a
few of them-at all epochs. French
engineers pierced the ISthmus of Suez,
built the seaports of the Leyant, start
ed the Panama canaI, gave the first
impetus to the automobile industry
and aviation; yet in its industrial en-
terprises before the war France en-
ployed an average of only one engi-
neer for every 100 workmen, where
Germany employed four 1t is 10 this
situation that many attribute the fact
that France was losing its lead in the
automobile industry and had already
been passed in aviation by Germany
when the war broke out.
