 AT COUNTRY CLUB

All entries in the Southern golf tourney who fall to qualify and all local golfers whose handicap are higher than those permitted to enter for the championship are cor dially invited to enter the tourney.
 Invitations have been mailed and a large number of local players are ex- pected to grasp the opportunity. The qualifying round will be played on Wednesday,, June 6. On Thursday morn- ing, first rounds of all flights will be played. Each match will go IS holes The second rounds will be played in the afternoon.
 On Friday morning, the semi-finals for all flights will be played while the fi- nals will be played in the afternoon.
 The winner and runner-up in each flight will be presented with handsome trophy
 It is thought that at least four flights will be filled. The committee in charge states their purpose for staging the tourney is provided in order to furnish play for those failing to qualify for the championship in the Southern tourney at Roebuck and to avoid congestion of the championship course.''

BARONS AND CHICKS ARE FORCED TO
 DIVIDE AFTER SOME WEIRD BASEBALL
Final Game of Chick Series
 Toddy; Chattanooga IS Nert

even the series with the squirting Moleys.
 Yesterdays clash brought out the fact that Moley has another finger on his team who may rise to great fame before the season comes to a close This person is Al Ellis, the big out fielder. After Karl Black had been knocked out in the first round of the second game, Arthur Johnson went to the twirling box. The Cricks got to Johnson later and Moley, not want ing to waste another hurler, called Ellis in from center field.
 The bases were filled in the sixth when Al took up the duties and he held the Chicks scoreless and hitless for the remainder of the game. Big Swede Arthur Johnson was unmerci- fully hammered during his stay of six innings on the rubber.
 However, the boys can't win 'em all and the present trip has been thoroughly satisfactory. Perryman will open the series in Chattanooga Monday. Three games are played in Chattanooga and then the tribe goes down to meet the Atlanta Crackers in a series. Eighteen games remain to be played on foreign soil Exactly one-fourth of the trip has been placed on the shelf.

The Barons' final game in Memphis for the present swing around the cir cult will be played at Russwood park today. Immediately following the game, Carlton Molesworth and Lis men will load on a train and move over to Chattanooga for a three-day stay in the Lookout city.
 The dividing of yesterdays double bill in Memphis gave the Barons record of five victories and one de- feat for the present trip. The Barons came close to winning the second game and had the pitchers done their part, the Moleys would be credited with six straight victories this morn ing. The second game witnessed the unmercifuI slaughtering of the Baron fingers, total of 20 safe blows be- ing collected off the combined deliv- cry of Karl Black and Arthur John son.
 Moley will work Carmen Hill in to- days encounter with the Chickasaws, while Big Chief Mike Donlin will probably send Ed Willett or Ed Me- Cord to make supreme effort to
