REVIEW OF PLAY IN
 SOUTHERN LEAGUE

New Orleans, May 24.-New Orleans continued her winning form with four victories out of five games by taking three of four from Chattanooga, and again led the league in the Southern as sociation race The Pelicans have fair
 margin for first place. Birmingham's upward spring, broken yesterday after seven straight victories by loss to Memphis, enabled the Coal Barons to nose out Nashville during the six day period for second place. The week of five wins, two from Chattanooga and three from Memphis, brought Bir- mingham from the fourth place in per centage rating
 Nashville slipped into third place by dropping two matches to Atlanta and three to Mobile, winning only one vic tory and that from the Bears. Mobile forged to the front during the period and took fourth place by win ming four contests of six. Little Rock fell back to sixth place from third, but played only four games during the week, on which the Travellers broke even.
 Atlanta had a game to the good by trouncing Nashville twice and by taking a game from Little Rock The Travellers took two from the Crackers, who are fifth in the race.
 Chattanooga dropped five contests and won one, the only defeat the Pelicans received during the six days. Memphis, still in losing slump yester- day, turned the tables on Birmingham and trimmed the Barons in their only defeat of the period

FRED FULTON WILL
 ESSAY "COME-BACK'

San Francisco, May 24.-Fred Full ton, the Minnesota plasterer will essay his comeback in Europe. Fitted against Georges Carpenter, the idol of the Frenchmen, in a 20-round bout in Paris on July 4. according to in formation that has just leaked out here today. upon receipt of letter from Abe Attell, former feather weight champion of the world. who is man. aging Fulton's affairs.
 Attell who is in New York has been in correspondence with the boxing promoters of Paris, and has submit ed the terms for his man to appear on the other side and is daily expecting acceptance. This bout will be Carrep- tiers first since the world war start ed and he will immediately start train- ing for the big bout. Immediately aft CT the bout the French champion will leave for America. where he will meet the best of the American heavy weights. leading up to bout with Jack Dempsey on Labor Day at To- ledo.

Bumped, again, by gum. With Benny karr out of the way, the Barons ought to win the next two. After playing the Travellers at Redwood tomorrow and Tuesday, the Barons journey to Chatta- nooga for a four-gam series, and then return here for a quartet of battles with the Crackers.
 Morrison will probably work for Mo ley's men tomorrow with Sigman on deck for the final game of the series. Merry has been getting by in great shape and should improve as he goes along. Sig is usually hit fairly hard, but manages to win, and that's all that counts.
 Fisher is suffering from a bad charley horse and hasn't been able tos show any speed on the paths. The right gardener 1 looked bad on two ground balls yester7 day.
 Moley's protest of yesterdays battle will likely go for naugnt, as the disputed run didn't cut any ice in deciding the game. The squabble was all over, whether Brottem's drive went out of sight or not. Certain it is that Umpire Blackburn couldn't see it, but Umpire Schafer could, and these two arbiters scrapped among themselves before the former finally ruled.
 You can't help but like old man Black burn, he's such a good natured cuss. The old guy makes lot of mistakes, of course but he sticks up to 'em and won't stand much beefing. For the first time in r games Peters failed to hit safely yesterday. Pete was in the game at all times, however, and
 handed out pepper even after the vlsltors
 had it sewed up.
 When Slapnicka hit Walsh in the rlbs
 with a fast ball in the ninth the visiting
 third sacker displayed his anger by
 throwing his bat against the left field
 bleachers and then walking out to the
 box and arguing with Slap. Slap was all ready to start something, too, ana TOT A time it looked as if free-for-all
 fight would be started. Fearful that something of the kind would occur in his absence, Pat Duncan came running ir from center field and appeared dis appointed when peace was restored With out blow passing.
 "Kid" Elberfeld may be a rowdy. but
 he certainly puts life into the old ball
 game. and we like to see his club in
 Birmingham. The fiery little manager
 infuses the fighting spirit into both teams. Incidentally, he is far from thorough as player, judging by the way he picked 'em upf around second and hit in the pinches yesterday.
 Bernsen continues to plub along quietly, getting his hits every day ana fe1ding in faultless fashion. The big fellow is playing a grand game this year. but many, fans are overlook ing 1t.

Also consider this for a moment. The Pels have been playing at home nearly all season and against many teams that were crippled. Consider further that the sale of Dick Robertson to Washington and the release of Frank Kitchens robs the Pels of their star battery. Kitchens and Dobbs fell out over some trivial matter and the result was the former got his walking papers
 Deberry, mediocre performer, is now first string catcher. and the ex-Cleve- land recruit can hardly be classed with either Peters of Birmingham or Brot- tenn of Little Rock. On first the Pes have Fielder, youngster of not much ability, who ranks below Bernsen of the Barons and Bob Grimm of the Travellers Cotton knaupp, at the keystone for the Dobbers, is a very valuable man and would probably get a shade over any other second baSeman in the league.
 At short the league leaders are de- pending on Daubert, nifty young field CT, but one who has nothing on Tom Stevenson or Distell when it comes to flashy work and is not as steady as either of the last two named. Jack Stansbury, at third, may be better than Dee" Walsh of the Travellers, but we can't see him in preference to Ally Webb.
 BARON OUTFIELD BEST
 Of the Pelican outfield, Larry Gilbert alone appears to be of All-Southern cali ber and Pat Duncan is far more valu- able. than he. Sullivan and Daniels are youngsters who should be flattered by being ciassed with Ellis and Fisher. The Pei outfielders may be superior to Lit tie Rock k's-the latter are unknown here

MIDWAY WINS B|G KENTUCKY RACE BY
 FINISHING STRONG
Beaverkill Ran Second and Exterminator Third.
 Cudgel Scratched

Louisville, Ky, May 24.-Midway,
 J. W. Parish's 5-year-old horse, by
 Baliott-Thirty-Thirty, came from
 behind and, in driving finish,
 won the Kentucky Handicap at
 Churchill Downs today, by one
 length. with s. M. Henderson's
 Beaverkill second, a nose in front
 of Willis Sharpe MiItery's Exterm-
 inator. The Porter, St. Bernard,
 Royce-RoIls and vuIcanite finished
 In the order named. Cudge1, highly
 regarded prior to post time, and
 Free Cutter, were scratched.
 The race was a mile and a quarter for S-year-olds and upwards, and carried Slo,0O0 In added money. It was worth S11,O00 to the winner, $500 to the own CT of the second horse. $500 to the third and S400 to the fourth It was run over a muddy track. in PHO 2-5, seven sec onds slower than the track record, but aroused an audience of several thou sand people to a high pitch of en- thuSiasm.
 When the barrier was sprung, St Bernard had the railway with Midway on the outside. In the first quarter St Bernard led by half length with The Porter a length and half in front of Beaverkill and Exterminator, which were racing heads apart At the half mile Exterminator moved up and by half length led The Porter which was length and a half in front of St. Bernard
 Midway, meanwhile, had froged a length and half ahead of Vulcanite, which was trailing the field.
 At the three-q quarters pole, Midway was still sixth, and apparently was out of it, and even as the horses turned into the back stretch Exterminator and The Porter were struggling for the lead. AS they entered the stretch, how ever, Midway made his run. and passed Exterminator and The Porter, whose heavy imposts began to wear them down, and Beaverkill, which was mak- ing desperate efforts to forge to the front but was unequal to standing off the rushing Midway, who had raced himself into contending position and in the last sixteenth won going away.
 It was one of the most stirring com tests in the history of the Handicap. Pari-mutuel betting indicated the pub- lie had placed it's confidence in Ex- terminator The show price for him for $2 ticket was $2.70 Midway paid SIS to win; $6.40 to place, and $3.60 to show. Beaverkil rewarded supporters with $7.s~ to place and $S.70 to show.

That was some scrappy little battle at Redwood yesterday. Umpire Blackburn had hard time of it. The players made special point of batting him on every close decision that he made. ''Kid' Elberfield especially was in an largumentive mood He is some little trouble maker
 Umpire Blackburn pulled a new one yesterday He gave Brottem a home run on a three-bagger because the ball went out of his sight. This is in the rules but such play is rarely ever seen. Base Umpire Schaefer declared that he had seen the ball all the time. therefore Brottem was not due homer. The two argued the matter for some time. but nevertheless Blackburns ruling stood.
 Our Edwin was feeling rash yester- day. He swatted everything in sight making double two singles out of four times up. Furthermore, he stole two bases, one of them home plate it. self. He pulled slick trick in this steal. He dodged under and around the man trying to put him out It was a great trick. and the umpire called him safe.
 Central High school was tout of luck when she played the championship se- ries. She lost to the Jefferson County High school. thus losing first place. She played Ensley High for second place and lost this game. She will have t. ,e content with third place Ressemer, al though stars in the football season, failed to have good baseball team Joe Stecher is willing to meet Plestina when Marsh is no longer his manager If Plestina really wants matches wit, the championship four, Stecher, Lewis Zbyszko and Caddock. it looks like he would fire Marsh.
 Howard is very much elated over her good luck of securing the services ot C. C. billion as coach. The record made by Howard in the coning>fall season will show whether he is a success or not
 According to Ped Hickman. Jack Prince, who is going to build the rac- ing stadium here, is in Texas. MT. Hickman says that Prince fully expects to carry out his plans just as soon as he finishes building the track he is work- ing on now.

Midway Wins Kentucky Handicap
Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRBErr

ring partners will help Willard to re- cover his once-time skill in those di- visions of pugilism. But unless Willard does the unexpected it will be six or seven rounds at least before he can punch with oldtime precision. And then it may be too late.
 Dempsey's case is direct contract. He has been fighting frequently for two years. Ring activity has sharpened his vision and constant punching has en- ahled him to develop wa1loping to per- lection. Rarely does Dempsey miss a vital wallop. It Is only necessary for one to look at his record to find the truth in this. Dempsey has rushed in at foe, let loose a left or right, fol- lowed 1t with the alternate hand-and usually the fight has been over
 rare few persons cling to the idea that short fight places Dempsey-and not Willard-at distinct disadvantage. They argue that the longer the fight the better Dempsey's chances would be- come. They feel that age would slow up Willard after 30 or 45 minutes of fighting and that the durable Dempsey then could go on and slug the crown off of the giant who has worn it for more than four years.
 But I do not agree with such views Dempsey has never travelled a very long route. Whether he could do it or not is a question that cannot be an- swered until he is put to such a test All of his victories have been scored in short fights. He favors brief clashes He fights his best when he is in a hur- ry-and he certainly will have to hurry in Toledo, if he is to achieve the am bition of lifetime.
 or course, Willard may upset all cal culations by showing speed against Dempsey beyond anything exhibited in his other fistic encounters. But normal ly Willard is slow. And it takes him long time to get under way. Therefore, when he must defend his title success fully in 12 rounds and either knock out most formidable foe in that time or outpoint him he is placed at big dis

NOOJ|N ANNOUNCES
 ALL-SOUTHERNP PICK
Alabama Coach Gives Five of His Men Places on
 Mythical Team

University. May 24, = Especially Coach B. L. Noojin of the University of Alabama announced his all-southern baseball pick today. Coach Noojin has seen all the s. l. A. A. teams in action with the exception of Mercer and his selection is based on the respective merits of the players. The Crimson nine steered by Coach Noojin has won the third championship out of the last four years. Following is the pick of this all-southern coach with his article on the merits of the several players and teams:
 Pitchers-Boonc, Alabama, Phil-
 pot. Georgia; Pepper, Miss A. and
 M.; Johnson, Auburn.
 Catcher--Styfcs, Alabama.
 First Base-Thomas, Vanderbilt.
 Second Bnse-Sewell. Alabama.
 Third Bnse-Davis. Georgia.
 Shortstop-Stevcnson, Alabama.
 Right Field-SatterfieId, Georgia
 Center Fieid--Lenoir, Alabama.
 Left FieId--Jackson, Howard.
 UtiIity--Morgan. Mercer.
 That was an all-southern team that licked us today" said some Georgia enthusiast in the Georgia hotel at Attn ems the evening after the University of Alabama baseball team had clearly demonstrated their superiority over the Red and Black team by the score of to l.
 When that same enthusiast as well as all others who may read this article lamps my choice of an all-southern baseball team, they will doubtless think that have taken my cue from the text laid down above and have tried to put the whole team down for these honors. for I cannot see an all-soathern selec- ton that would not contain five of the players of the championship team that so ably represent the University of Ala bama this year
 Every selection so far chosen by those in best position to know Who's Who in southern college baseball con- tains the name of at least three, while some list four of Alabamas players on this team of all teams. Coach Stege- man, who piloted the great team at the University of Georgia, which takes second honors in the $. l. A. A., places Catcher Styles, Pitcher Boone, short stop Stevenson and Center Fielder Le- noir on his selection. There is no doubt in my mind about the appropri- ateness of the selection
