BARONS CONTINUE
 ID LEAD IN FIELD
 AND WITH WILLOW
Men Outclass the League in All Depart ments of Game Except
 Pitching

The Barons regained the lead in team batting during the past week and re- tained their hold on the leadership in de- fensive play. It's a curious situation when team leads in both fielding and hitting and is at the same time barely above the .50o mark
 The only answer is bum pitching. and while the Baroniai hurling has improved slightly in the last few weeks, 1t was so rotten at the start of the season that Moleys men were slow in leaving the post. Peters continues his fast pace, and is third in the batting scale, Dixie Carol leading with 3S7

The Oldest Japanese Legend

From The Gttermost Isles by Helen
 Waddell, in Asia magazine.
 They were the seventh of the divine generations, Izanami and Izanagi, the mortal gods of whom the immortals were begotten They stood together on the Floating Bridge of Heaven. and lzana- mi plunged the Jewel-spear into the green swirl of the sea. Drops of brine fell from it. and they saw an island born. Together they went down to see the land that they had made. and part ed, going their different ways upon it. and when they met again, each found the other fair There were no men in the Land of the Reed Plains, which is row Japan nor any gods but their two selves and there they lived together. All the islands of the Island Sea were of their making; until the day that Izanagi brought the God of Burning Fire to birth, and died of the anguish Then Izanam wept for her, saying, 70 Thine Augustness, my lovely younger sister That I should have exchanged three for this single child!" and drawing his sword he slew the child, and took up his wife and buried her, But he was not com forted; and after some days he rose and went to seek her in the Land of Yomi which is the country of the dead She saw him coming. Alas that thou didst delay thy coming, have eaten of the furnace or 1Ofnl. but | WOulu Idln go back Wait for me, while I plead with the gods of Yomi. And look not upon me" For a long time he waited, but she was long of coming. And when he could no longer endure the hunger of his de- desire. he lit a torch and crossed the threshold to find her. She lay within the threshold and she had seen corruption.
 Then ne turned and fled And she rose, crying out at the shame he had put upon her. and followed him. But at the Even Pass of Yomi he hurled a great rock upon the path, and they stood. he on this side and she on that. and took leave of one another, So they parted and she returned and became the god- dess of the Land of Yomi. But for him. sef he came out upon the clover fields in the island of Tsukushi, which of all the islands lies over against the sun. And he cried aloud. "Oh hideous, I am come from a hideous and polluted land' and plunged into the river to purify himself And from the waters of his purification the gods were born.
 It is the oldest Japanese legend: the shrinking from corruption is part of the elemental fastidiousness Of the race Buddhism only intensified it. bound up with it's own mistrust of love as the fleshiest of the lusts that bind the soul to the senses. It is hard at best for a man to see the world as mirage flung upon eternity, to let it's affairs go past him like cloud rack, ''indistinct, as water is in water" But when love comes upon him. and all the sweetness of the world becomes iacaI late in one small but rav- ishing substance. "-''nothine else is"

Be Frank Dusts Cream of the Racing World in
 Big Derby

Latonia, Ky, June 7.-Be Frank, handled by Jockey c. Hummer, outran and out ganed what is considered by horsemen to be the aristocracy of western 3-year-old thorough breds today and won the thir- ty-seventh Latonia derby.
 The horse had little trouble in dispos- ing of his field when called up on and two lengths of daylight showed between him and Omond, who finished second. The contest for the second place, however, was more spirited for Regalo. who had been well up during the entire mile and q half journey fought it out nobly but tired at the very end and was beaten a half length. Nulcanite was fourth and saved his entrance money for his owner.
 Eternal ridden by Schuttinger, for time looked to be a winner for he as~ Sumed the lead at the drop of the barrier and it was not until after the mile pole had been reached that Be Frank and Re- salo, ridden by Murphy. managed to Eoke their noses in front of him. From there on, Eternal dropped back and Thurber on Omond made his most impor- tant gain.
 In capturing the event Be Frank brought home $16160 to his owner Omonds share was $2ooO; Regalo's SSoo while Vulcanite obtained $3S0 for finishing fourth.
 Be Frank chances were not well thought of by the betting public and the pari-mutuelles machines showed that he paid slightly more than ten to one
 Clermont finished fifth, Eternal sixth, Pastoureau seventh and St. Bernard last.
 The s2 pari-mutuels paid: Be Frank, s22. 40 to win; sl010 to place and S75o to show Omond paid S13.5o to place and $670 to show. Regalo paid s5.So to show.

JOHN FREbURG AND
 JACK ROGERS MEET
 HERE ON JUNE 23
Two Evenly Matched Wrest- lers Will Grapple at the Athletics Club in a
 Finish Bout

Wrestling fans of the Magic City
 will hail with joy the announce
 ment by Bill Streit, chairman of the
 atheItic committee at the B. A. C.,
 that the club has matched John
 Freberg and Jack Rogers for
 finish match, to he fought at the
 Athletic club gym Monday night,
 June 23.
 It was thought that the club had passed up the wrestling game for the summer but there was such a demand among local wrestling fans that these two boys bematched that MT. Streit took action in the matter and after negotiating with the managers of the two men brought them to terms.
 Freberg has wrestled here a number of times and is a local favorite. When Jack Rogers met Joe Stecher here about month ago, however, he gave Scissors Joe such a tough skirmish and appeared to such good advantage that fans immediately started voicing their opinions about the relative strength of Frebeag and Rogers. They had seen both men go against Stecher and many contended that the Texas cowboy put up a better battle against Joe than did the mighty Swede.
 All arrangements have been com pleted and the two principals have placed their fists to contracts and will appear here Monday night June 23. Those who have followed the mat game say that this should be the best match staged in Birmingham in many day, as apparently tbe two men are almost evenly matched
 It is understood that the committee in charge is working up good bunch of prelims to precede the main attrac- tion of the night, also.

TRANSFORM PREVENTS WORKOUT Billy Miske and Battling Levinsky Are Matched
 for July Third

Toledo, O., June 7.-Several hundred persons who visited the training camps of Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard today in anticipation of seeing some glove performances, were disappointed be- cause a severe rainstorm breaking as Willard was about to start his work out prevented exhibitions in both camps
 Dempsey was more disappointed than any of the spectators as he has been loafing since Monday and was eager to resume training.
 Willard complained today he is find- ing the change in climate from Cali fornia to Ohio a hardship in his train ing. He said when he left Los Angeles 10 days ago his wind was in excellent condition, but the conditions here have affected his breathing. a
 It was announced tonight Billy Miske the St. Paul light-heavyweigh and Battling Levinsky of New York had been matched to meet in a 12-round contest at Bose. Ford, just outside of Toledo, on the night of July 3. An open air arena seating 10000 persons will be erected

Raspberries on a Town Lot
the Thrift Magazine.

From the Thr1ft Magazlne.
 Just small hatch of good variety of red raspberry will afford fresh fruit for the table for many weeks. Some of the new varieties are ever bearing. Per haps one of the best is the Erskine Park
 In setting out the plants first manure and spade the bed as for a garden IT the plants are trained to a wire trellis they can be set two feet apart Six or eight plants will be sufficient for an average family and ought to produce at least a pint day from each plant. By having so few plants. they can be watered and we'll cared for. Hand weeding about the plants is always the best way to cultivate raspberries.

b|G PETERS LEADS. PINCH H|TTERS IN THE. GAMES AT R|CKWOOD Analysis of Runs Driven in by Each Baron Is Inter-
 esting Food for
 Thought

Comparisons are always Odius,
 and especially so in studying the
 relative merits of baiipIayers on
 the same team, but an analysis of
 the pinch-hitting done by Moley's
 men in the games at Rickwood
 this season would hardly seem
 out of place here. As sport scribes
 have stated for the past 50 years
 the guy who can hit lem with run
 ners on the sacks is worth twice
 his clubmate who ciouts 300 with
 nobody on.
 If takes all kinds of ball players to make winning comblnaslon--Ineii who work the pitcher, others who can sacrifice and still others who have the knack of running bases, but ihe plrd who stands up there and delivers a clean swat at the crucial moment not only is the idol of the fans, but the of the ball team
 Below we submit the number or runs driven in by each Baron in the games played at Redwood. The com- parison Is not exactly fair, because some players have had more oppor- iunities to bring runners across than others.
