But will they maintain these clips, is the answer. The Barons and the Crackers can be counted on to travel as well or better at home. The Peli- cans hardly any better. On the road there is room for improvement for both the Barons and the Pelicans, while it is doubtful if the Crackers will improve any.
 It is interesting, therefore, to see to what extent this dope finally pans out.

HAD PERFECT CONTROL

On several occasions Tincup had three balls on the batter, but he al- ways forced them to hit Other in- stances also showed that his control was perfect.
 Elmer Ponder was on the hill for the Barons. He, too, pitched good game with the exception of the fifth inning, when one hit, two bases on balls. an infield out and a stolen base netted two tallies.

TRAVELLERS. SCORE

The Travellers got next to Ponder in the fifth. Walsh opened with a double to right. Barney was passed and both runners advanced bag on wild pitch. Tincup was also passed, filling the sacks The Baron infield played back for a double play. Dolly Stark hit a grounder to- Clark and Tincup was forced at second. Walsh scored. Kennedy struck out Stark pulled the delayed steal and when Red Smith threw to second Barney dashed for the plate. He beat Clark's relay easily.
 PONDER WILD
 The Travellers didn't have another chance to score until the ninth when Manager Wares opened with double to right field and was sacrificed to third by Manning. Tex Covington lift ed high fly to center field and Wares scored.
 The Travellers gathered but five safe blows off Ponder, but issuing bases on balls proved his downfall. The Barons fielded we'll behind the big right-hander and had he worked out of the hole in the fifth round the game would have likely went into ex- tra innings.
 Baker, the outfielder from the Nash vile Vols, played with the Travellers yesterday. He was secured by the Travellers in a trade whereby Out fielder Mike Burke went to Ellams outfit.
 Hardgrove will probably pitch for the Travellers today, while Carmen Hill will work for Moley. Today is ladies day.

The work of the Indian was the greatest pitching feat ever witnessed here. The big twirler had perfect control, in addition to a fine curve ball. His support was excellent, and during the last three innings the fact that every man on the Little Rock team was alert accounts for the en- trance of the Indian into the hall of fame.
 There were only two semblances or a safe blow. In the eighth inning Rube Ellis hit a hot grounder be- tween Wares and Covington. Tex rah after the ball and it took perfect bound. He tossed Ellis out to Tincup, who was covering first. The only other near hit was in the ninth when Eddie McDonald batting for Haworth, lined +o loft GaId

BARONs GOOD AT HOME

Through the games played Friday, June IS, the records show that the Pelicans have won 29 games and lost 10 on their home grounds, percent age of .744. The Barons have won IT and lost g, 8 percentage of .654, while the Crackers have won IT and lost Il, percentage of .6o7. Any of these clips are good enough to win a pen nant.
 On the road the records show At Ianta has won 23, lost 16, a percent age of .590. Birmingham has won 2O lost 19, a percentage of .513, while New Orleans has won Il and lost 13, a percentage of .45S.
 Starting with Saturdays games. the schedule shows that Atlanta has 54 games yet to play at home, Birming- ham 53 and New Orleans but 38.

BARONS' ROAD RECORD SECOND TO CRACKERS
Barons Have Majority of Games at Home-PeIs Chiefly on ROad-With Clubs Maintaining Present Form
 Barons Slated for Third Place

Atlanta, June 17.-(Special.) )-There is a three-cornered race on for the Southern league pennant with Atlanta, New Orleans and Birmingham as the three contestants. The makeup of the schedule for the remainder of the sea- son will be the deciding factor in how the teams will finish.
 To date the Crackers have proven themselves less formidable than the other two on the home grounds, but the team did not get started until it hit the road. The Pelicans have been the most formidable at home.
 Yet on the road the Crackers far surpassed their opponents and in this respect carry an edge that must count in the long run.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-19
ODDS FAVOR CRACKERS

Presuming, therefore, that the three teams maintain the clip that they have shown to date, with the margin of home games in the Crackers favor and with less games on the road, the odds favor the Crackers for the pen nant in one of the closest finishes that the teams have ever staged
 Maintaining their present home clip, the Crackers will win 33 of the 54 games they have left, Birmingham S5 of their 53 and New Orleans 2S of their t3S.
 On the same percentage, on the road, Atlanta will win 20 of her S4 games, Birmingham 20 of her 3S and New Or leans "A of her 52.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-19
RACE CONSISTENT

Adding these figures to the standing of the teams through the games of Friday, June 13, and we would arrive at the following standing for the three teams at the end of the season, all the time presuming that they maintain the same clip at home and abroad which they have been maintaining to date.

The futilty OF the effort to eliminate
boxing from the list Of vigorous sport
was never more sharply illustrated than
In the present condition OF the glove
game on the Pacific coast. Two years
ago good people OF California voted to
do away with boxing The hulk Of the
adverse vote was cast by women. who
doubtless had been informed that box
ers were slaughtered every time they en-
tered the ring.
Under the new conditions II was de-
cided that amateur boxers might en-
gage In around bouts, but that protes-
sionals were TO be kept out Of the state.
Up sprung a crop Of amateur boxers
who mixed II merrIly In around contests
for medals or other prizes.
But the Bport-lovlng people OF the coast
Indicated SO clearly that they wanted the
best quality OF professional boxers &c
perform that the officials OF the state
government sensibly Shut their eyes C
the fact that the boxers are not slmor
pure amateurs.
A recent boxing program at the open
air arena at Emeryvlle, near San Fran
cisco, indicates the sort OF amateur
bouts that are being provided for thu
san Franciscsns. Here Is the card
