 STAY WITH DOUBLE
 ATTRACTION TODAY
Men Leave for Nashville After Twin Bill With Razor
 backs Today

The Barons complete their stay in Lit tie Rock today with a double bill and spend Sunday travelling to Nashville, where they open five-game series Mon- day.
 The defeat yesterday was a real heart breaker. Turkey Roman returned to the hill and pitched superb ball. It was an other clash between the former stars of Alabama and Auburn. Each allowed six hits, but Roman evidently had the bet ter of the argument, for he returned the victor.
 Moley will probably use Elmer Pom der and Ralph Comstock in the twin bill today. Ponder was scheduled to work yesterday, but Moley was probably anx- ious to send Mflligan against Roman.
 The Crackers went back into the lead yesterday by winning over the Memphis Chicks while the Pelicans were Suf- fering defeat at the hands of the Nash vile Vols. Yesterdays win for the Vols made it six straight.
 Friday will witness the Barons back at Redwood.

 It will be the final appearance of the Lookouts and Crackers at Redwood this season. The Vols are the only team which have made their final bow to Bir- min gham fans. Elam's clan will not be seen in action here again this season.
 On Friday, August 31 the Barons will meet the Memphis Chicks in postponed double bill.

 with a double to right center. He ad- vanced on Duncans out and scored on a sacrifice fly by Milligan. It was up and down against Tincup in the eighth and ninth.
 BILLS BAD DAY
 Bill Webb was the victim of a bad day at bat today, the utility Baron walloping into three double killings. which took the heart out of as many Birming- ham rallies. Each time Eddie Mcdonald was the second man of the pair. Eddie walked to start the first inning and im- mediately Webb hit into double killing. Mcdonald was walked again in the third and again Webb forced him at second and went out himself at first
 The Barons threatened to turn the ta bles in the fifth Duncan opened with a scratch single to third. Mulligan bunted to Roman and was safe at first when Kennedy, covering the bag, dropped the throw Mcdonald bunted to Roman and Duncan was forced at third Webb lifted fly to right Baker made the catch and begged for third but Wares in- tercepted the throw, shot the ball to sec ond and Mcdonald was doubled attempt ing to advance from first. Webb led off in the eighth and famed It was his hard luck day.
 Those were the Barons' only chances except the one which came in the seventh and which was converted into run.
 Ccmstock and Ponder are due to oppose Robinson and Palmero tomorrow in double header, which closes the Barons- Travellers schedule for the year. Little Rock fans will observe the day as
 Kennedy day" in honor of Ray Ken nedy, who will play his last game to- morrow before leaving to report for serv- ice In the army.

HOW TO AID RUSSIA

and there from representatives Of
the different governments piece
their attitude together Like this:
Two Leading Factions.
Tho revolution has developed
two leading factions in Russia
the duma and the provisional COM
mittee of soldiers and citizens.
The duma is thoroughly demo-
cratic, utterly opposed to a sep
arate peace with Germany and on
complete terms of understanding
with the allies.
The provisional committee, the
more powerful of the two organi-
zations among the people, is not a
unit either for the allied cause or
for a separate peace with Ger
many.
Germany is exerting a gigantic
propaganda to swing the commit
tee to a separate peace. Ger
many is concentrating its efforts
on the extreme socialists on the
committee, among the people at
