BARONS SPLIT EVEN
 ON WEEKS GAMES
New Orleans, Taking Five Out of Six Games Played,
 Is Weeks Record

New orleans, May 1s.-New Orleans took first place in the Southern as sociation race in the fourth week or the 1919 season by winning five games out of six played.
 Nashville won second place with two victories to the good for the seven day period which ended yesterday.
 Although Little Rock broke the Pel- ican winning streak of seven straight victories in hotly contested game Friday, New Orleans came back yester- day and in a 10-inning match trimmed the Travellers with score of to }, Red Torkelson hurling his fifth con- seeutive victory of the season.
 Birmingham, although splitting even on games, retained third place in the association. Little Rock, despite the losing slump of five of seven contests, ranked fourth with a marrow margin separating the Barons and the Trav- elers for third.
 Chattanooga and Mobile, who passed Atlanta during the week, took fifth ard sixth, each boosted points by winning more games than they lost.
 No team of the leading quartet has a safe margin and winning streak or a slump could upset either.

bling game at the outset, unsettled the play or De Orc.
 And so a once-time champion came back into his own, Cannefax winning, 150 to Al, taking back the title from the man who had shorn him of it near ly two years ago.
 "A change of scenery and a little food does wonders in effacing a case of nerves," said Cannefax afterward. Early in my career as a billiardist l tried to fight off nervousness by stay ing right in the room of play. But that didn't work. Change of scenery, even if only for a few moments and a little food of some kind-that's the thing.
 When I saw that De Gro was stead fly overlooking me and that I was missing shots that ordinarily should have been easy, I decided to vacate the room for a while.
 After I resumed play the finger still hurt when pushed my cue against it, but somehow or other, with the con- trol of my nerves restored. I didn't mind it very much. And so I went right out and shot myself back into the hampionship-because I had the help of some pie and coffee"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-19

z saers IS the story of a youngster of 2S who won the three-cushion billiard championship of the world aided most materially" as he says, "by cup of coffee and piece of pie.
 Some months ago Bob Cannefax, who halls from Springfield. Mo, but now makes his home in New York. chal- lenged Alfred De Orc, then king Of the three-cushion billiarhists. De Orc accepted and the 15O-potnt match, which attracted nationwide attention, was staged in the monastery of the F'riars' club, New York
 Cannefax won the first nights play, 50 to AS, after "a contest that ranks without equal in thrills. Through the last 30 innings the men fought nip and tuck First one and then the other forged to the front, but it was not un- til the last shot had been made that Cannefax was victor of the first block.
 @The youthful phenom, won the sec or7d block by the score of 50 to 30. It looked like a walkaway for him when he went into the third nights play with the score, 100 to 7S, in his favor. But De Oro, veteran of more thrilling bll- Hard matches than any other player in tie world, ranks as the greatest fn1sh-
 
 quits'
 HFortune favored DeOro as the game began because less than an hour be- fore Cannefax accidently cut the in- dex finger on his left hand. It was a jagged wound and at the point just be- low the knuckle--exactly the spot where the cue slides back and forth. Cannefax did not dare to wrap it up and had to play with an open wound
 sF'rom the beginning of play, Cam n6fax was "off'' his game and the vet eEan, playing steadily and surely, grad ually began to cut down the young sters lead. Every new shot that Can nefax missed because of inability to control his muscles due to the cut on hts hand, made him just little more nervous. The crowd watching him close ly, decided that Cannefax had "blown." It expected to see him go all to pieces and see De Orc overhaul him and beat him to the Hotpoint goal.
 @Cannefax missed one easy shot-and then another. Immediately afterwards, to the surprise of the crowd. Cannefax walked out of the room and went down the stairs. Five minutes passed and no Cannefax appeared. Ten min utes-and Cannefax was still absent. Ue Gro was fretting and fuming; the cfowd. impatient, was wagging Its head and the majority was saying or th1nk1nS:
 E"Cannefax has taken a run-out pow der He's gone"
 @Then it was decided to send scout ing expedition in search of Cannefax. The sleuths reported back in about two minutes:
 s"Cannefax is down in the grill room drinking coffee and eating pie"
 sAnd so he was. "A little while later Cannefax non- <JIao 1nv, f1Vy liz F, iv,fn ho uicked up his cue and said cheerily and without trace of nervousness in voice or actions:
 E'Whose shot is it?''
 z The match was resumed-and from tAen on it was walk-awa for the youthful Cannefax. Playing so far beyond his form earlier in the evening as to make him seem like an entirely different player, Cannefax raced far ahead of his great rival. One brilliant Shot after another increased his lead and his amazing rally after the bob

 Vines pitched the tenth for the home club and passed Mcdonald, the first man to face him. Stevenson bunted and when Graf made useless throw to second both men were safe. Duncan sacrificed neatly and Ellis lined to Vines in, deep left, Mcdonald scoring without throw to the plate.

Of all the stars presented in yester- days battle, Ellis shines forth the bright est of all Out of four times at the vii low, he pounded out a three hagger and two singles. This will help to fatten his batting average considerably.
 Yesterdays game changed the Immortal trio into the invincible two. Hairston kept up his good work by getting two safeties out of four tries, and Fisher made it two out of three, but Steven son failed to keep up the great pace. and out of four tries failed utterly to hit exactly four times. Altogether Moleys Baronial squad pounded the ball safely Il times. Nobody can deny thar the Barons are hard-hitting set.
 Daniel Boone, former University of Ala. bama star, made his debut yesterday against the Vols. He allowed only three safeties, while his team gave good sup port and pounded out a victory. Baron supporters are strong for Boone when he defeats the Vols and the like. thus en- abling the Barons to slip up cog lr the standings.
