SIX FORMER BARONS ARE NOW PLAYING IN MAJOR LEAGUES
Barons Lead in National With Five, But Have Only One in the
 American

From the earliest times of baseball minor league players. Consequently many SoutherS league players have ad- vanced from their minor leaguedom to the glory and honor of the majors Quite a few have been sent from the Baronial brood and quite a few of these have starred with the majors. Last year Billy Southworth Baron not so long ago. led the National league in hitting. Emil Meusel and many others have also pounded their names to the vicinity CT the top. There are five former Barons in the National .eague this year. out of the 14 former Southern leaguers. It speaks well for tEe Birmingham club that slightly over S2S per cent of the former Southern leaguers in the National are former Barons. Little Rock is next with three players in the majors.
 The former Barons who are now in the National league are Sovthw orth. Pittsburg, batting .2ss; Meusel, Phila- delphia, batting. 2S0; Johnston. Brook lyn, batting .2s5: Tragresser, Phiiadci- pbia. batting .21s, and Caton, Pitts burg, batting .1So.
 The former Travellers are Daubert. Cincinnati. batting .2sS; Fisher Gin cinnau, batting .2ss, and Tuero. St Louis, batting .1Ss.
 There Is only one former Pel Bar bare, Pittsburg, batting. 301; and also one Lookout, Cueto, Cincinnati, bat ting .250.
 Two vols and two Crackers complete the bill. The former Nashville players are Pau1ette, Philadelphia batting 24s, and Smith, Boston, batting 236

The Crackers are Bressler. Cincinnati hating .21S, and Paskert. Chicago. bat ting t9S
 Neither Birmingham nor the Sout ern league is as well represented in the American league as in the Ma tional. There are 12 former Southern leasuers in this league, and only one of them is a former Baron. This lone Baron representative is Johnston. Cleveland. batting 29s
 Even the old Montgomery Southern league club has one representative in the American league: Pratt, New York, batting .27s. is the former Billiken.
 Memphis has two represet tatives in this league. Ruei New YoRS. batting .26s. and Wick. New York batting .254. are the former Chicks. The Cracker ton. batting .25i, and Perkins, Phila- delphia, batting .242
 Both Little Rock and Chattaroog ga lay claim to Jacobson. Baby Doll'' has belonged to both clubs. Tlic Traveller representa- atives are Jacobson. St Louis, batting 1925. and Walker, Philadelphia, batting .s93 The Chattanooga prod ucts are Flagstead, Detroit batting .22S, and Jacobson, St, Louis, batting .S25
 Mobile, Nashville and New Orleans have but one representative each. The former Gull, as they were called in those days. is Kerr. Chicago, batting .2o5. The Vol IS Rogers, Philadelphia. batting .229. and the Pelican is Bagby. Cleveland, batting .25s.
 This completes the roll of former Southern league players playing in the big leagues for the season 1919. Twenty-six players from this league is not bad quota at all, and six out Of the 26 are former Barons At the end of this season, and during the next. tho Barons will likely have another represen tative or so in the big leagues. At present 1t is thought certain.

White SOx Continue to Lose Games, While Tigers Are
 Drawing Closer

New York, August 10.-Cincinnati
 gained considerable ground on New
 York in the National league pennant
 race last week and today enjoys a lead of five and one-half games. The Chicago Americans, continuing their ! losing battle. are threatened by the
 rapid advance of Detroit. now four and half games to the rear. Barnes of New York and Cadore of Brooklyn held the Cincinnati batsmen 1 in check. but during the other four l contests the Reds pounded the ball hard, while the pitchers allowed few runs.
 New York. which will have an op- portunity this week to redeem itself in 8 six game series with Cincinnati, dropped a series to St. Louis and batted weakly against the pitchers of it's ancient rival, Chicago. Before meeting New York. the Cubs shared two games with Philadelphia and lost two games out of three to Boston. which had its best week Of the Season.

Black Barons to Play
 Knoxville Giants Today

The first game of the series with the Knoxville Giants is to be played at Redwood park, with a strong chance for the local team to win. The Black Baron team has been strengthened considerably since the series with the Atlanta Cubs and hope is running high among the supporters of the local crew.
 There are two pitchers on the Black Baron team who are espe- cially depended upon to win games. These two stars are DeJaunette and Smith DeJaunetts made fine showing against tho Atlanta team when they played here, while Smith was the strongest pitcher the Cubs had, but was Sold to the local team. The game today Will be called at 3:3o.

There is still as good chance for the Pels as there is for the Crackers. Eut things may change soon. It is beginning to look like the Crackers can't be stopped
 First divison was entered by a new arrival yesterday, Chattanooga, while an old standby. Mobile. was ushered out by the back door. Birmingham is not as far down as one would think She is five games from first division If a sudden reversal of form came about, the Barons might yet finish rather high in the lists.
 Neither is Birmingham so far from the cellar. Five games now separate us from the lowly Vols. A continua- ton of the Npresent form might soon land us in the undesirable position now occupied by the Vols. We are only one game behind Memphis. despite the fact that we lost yesterday. A great change might be brought about by the winning of few games by the Barons, and also vice-versa.
 The Reds will have that National League pennant cinched soon, if the Giants don't wake up and do some gi- gantic playing. The Giants are five ard one-half games from the top now. Fhew. They are farther away from top than the Barons are from first division in the Southern league. The Reds won yesterday, and the Giants lost Make it interesting for them, Giants. Don't let 1t be walk-away.
 The Reds gained the leadership in the National in their last series with New York. They took two games out of three. Wednesday, Thursday and Tri- day the Reds must play in Giant town. It will afford the New York team an excellent opportunity to even up mat ters.

It took us only nine days to make the trip to Chicago and we had covered considerable ground in the middle west On another occa- sion we went to New Orleans anl other cities down in that part of the country. We used to like the game a lot in our younger days.
 Bike racing seems to be coming back again. There are more races being held than there were about two years ago and more fellows are talk ing to the sport There are several local stars who promise to become famous, provided they keep up the clip at which they are going now. Ralph Hughes, for instance. shows es- pecial promise Although only . youngster in his teens. he can show the other boys around here some smoke in bicycle race.

TREATY NOT ACCEPTED.

The amazing thing about the tenn
porary defeat of the peace treaty is
the fact that with so many divergent
views on the subject of ratification
the SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE abso.
lutely failed to assert itself. This is
the process of solution in all ultra
important legislation that has been
passed in this country. Yet no COM
promise direction was ever reached on
the peace treaty. The republicans in
sisted that American sovereignty in
endangered. the democrats backed by
the President held to the contrary.
And there the line was wedged and no
power was ever able to pull it apart
That all Europe is sore at heart
over this situation, as we'll as all Amer
lea, is evident Senator Lodge, always
insistent on his reservations and pre-
amble, never will bulge from his
purely partisan aggression and finally
lost. The part he PLAYED was not that
of admirable statesmanship-far from
it.

MACKAYE FOR GOVERNOR

Senator William B. Mackaye, of
Bergen, announces, through his Bos-
we'll, Assemblyman Glover, that he
will in all probability be candidate
for Governor about three years hence.
This is on the theory, of course, that
he is alive and kicking then, and that
he has advanced sufficiently well by
that time to warrant the daring at
tempt he now seems determined upon.
Senator Mackaye is not at all back
ward in coming forward, and he ap-
pears not to have yet learned the
lesson so we'll known in the history of
all politically successful men, that 1t
is far better and more like real man
ly fellow of sound augment, to allow
the office to seek the man, rather than
to seek it himself. But, of course, all
men do not get into public office the
ideal way. Grover Cleveland did, and
he happened to have been born In
New Jersey, by the way, and is good
example to follow. After he had been
made sheriff of Erie County, n. Y, he
was picked for the governorship of
the State of New York, and carried
the state in 1882 over Folger by 1922
600 majority, and not once is there
record of his having announced that
about such and such date he would
stand for an office of some kind. In
deed, Senator Mackaye does not ap-
peal just right in this latest announce
ment, with all due regard for his
fitness for being Governor of the great
State of New Jersey, which we are not
willing at this time to admit. He may
qualify later. But how much more
admirable would it be for him to go
out and become worthy of being Gov
ernor, then let the people find out
from his record that no man is better
fitted for the post. The office seeker
has never yet occupied very high
place in public esteem, though we say
this in no wise to either decry Sena-
tor Mackaye, or to question his rights
in the premises. 1t is all matter of
good taste, that's all Making a pro-
fessional politician of himself, he
should await the public's approval not
pull wires to bring about something
that might react, as witness the case
of Senator Edge, who had the office
itch for long time, and no man was
ever more savagely criticised for what
he didn't do while Governor, albeit he
posed as the greatest business COVER
nor the State ever had If he meant
political business, he was wonder.
Beyond that, he was plain Mr.. Edge,
for he did little or nothing really big
for New Jersey-nothing.
