Yesterday was Ladies' Day at Rick wood, but there were not many ladies present The threatening weather bluffed them all into thinking that hard down. pour would greet them if they ventured forth clad in spring-time attire. It did look mighty blustery and the wind waxed exceeding strong and chilly. But that did rot prevent the Barons from winning their fifth straight.
 Eddie Mcdonald, leader of the Barons, placed himself in the hall of stars yester- day. He made two runs and two hits out of three times at bat. His percen- tage was fattened a littls by this ex- ploit. Stevenson made two runs and two hits out of five up. and Ellis made it three hits out of five tries. Peters was at the bat four times. and made good his opportunity by hitting safely twice and scoring twice
 Although wild at the pitching end of yesterdays game, Samuels ran in good luck at the batting end He still leads tbe league with percentage of l.00. He has been at bat twice, has hit safely twice and made one run. If he retains this record for the entire season, he will be some bird
 Speaking of pitching. glance at the
 work of Pitcher Karr of Little Rock.
 Yesterday he held the Crackers hitless for seven innings, and then two scratch
 hits got through Bacon. The Travellers defeated Atlanta by a score of to l.
 The Barons are still second in the
 league standing. Nashville lost yester- day, thus increasing our margin of lead
 Little Rock slid into third place with a percentage of 524. We are still about a
 game and half ahead of them. A trio of rooters blew in the grand stand after the second ipning, when Memphis was two runs to the good. They started systematic roofing for the home team and when in the next in ming Birmingham put over three runs they took all credit upon themselves fol the score "All the Molyites needed was us," one of them remarked.
 At that they kept things going at g | lovely clip throughout the game, and cer tainly kept the crowd entertained in tht section of the grandstand in which they 1 sat.
 | The Cincinnati Reds and the New Yorl | Giants went on a batting spree yester | day Each side knocked the opposin. pitchers all over the field The Red
 used three pitchers and the Giants use, l two.
 l Boys that was great game at Nun l gers yield yesterday. The Owenton col | lege won the first game of the two b. l a score of 1 to 0. The winning rul l came across in the niAth inning. Thi l was the third game of a series of four l the remaining game to be played today | Each of these three games have beel ] won by a margin of one run. If tn Partners win today fifth game vii 1 have to be played to decide the series | If all reports are true, and likely the. are, there are going to be some grea i ''nigger'' scraps at the Birmingham Ath
 letic club Thursday night. When tw | triggers" are trying to settle an argu ment, and a third ''brunette'' insist
 upon pounding either of the two, as op l portunity presents itself, there is sur
 going to be something happening. Thes conditions will exist at the club Thurs 1 day night. only that instead of two ne 1 groes quanelng, there will be six, wit
 ar odd "nigger" to do the odd pounding l Shouts of lem me at em' will be hear l! galore. Better be there.
