Experience has taught us to mako no predictions, but Cyrus has won hi last two games, and the weather prom ses to be hot this afternoon.
 The Boston Americans have broker what had the ear marks of a lont losing streak Five games is not much but it had the Red Sox packers pretty well shaken up. The Sox defeated tht Browns by margin of one run yester. day.
 Whitehouse performed to no avail fol the Senators yesterday. He wN nippet for IS bingles all in the safety line.
 The Yankees made a gallant effort to wrest the wreath of victory from tht Cleveland Indians yesterday. In tht eighth inning they staged hit ant run rally. but fell short of the tieing mark by margin of one run.
 There is a question that puzzles us q great deal in modern times. Why is it that ball players persist in arguing with an umpire. It never has, ane probably never will do any good. The only thing that it provokes is anger C. Bush and Young were indefinitely sus- pended yesterday for trying to bait Umpire Nallin.
 The -Pittsburg Pirates also staged 2 latter inning rally yesterday. but, un, like that of the Yankees, it was sue cessful. Three hits brought forth tht needed three runs to tie the score ant give a lead of one run.
 Sallee allowed only one hit in eigh innings yesterday In the remaining in ming he was hit only twice, making z total of three hits and one run.
 The fight at Toledo will not be the only hard knock 'em dead" scrap be fore July is over. The Ohio govern. ment is staging a contest to prevent the meeting of Jess and Jack. The fight is of such fierce intensity that il promises to go into extra rounds. We are with the government 99 times ou: of the proverbial 100, but this time happens to be the tooth time, also pro- verbal.
 Both Willard and Dempsey have abandoned road work from their course of training These two chaps had bet ter retain the valuable asset of know ing how to run well. one of them may need it in about two weeks time.
 Someone was heard to remark that the betting is running 80 to 30 on Willard. We believe that we will take chances of cleaning up fortune and take the 30. e

H|NKEL SAYS JESS | IS SFASTER THAN HE
 WAS IN CUBA BOUT
Dempsey to Begin Hard Training Tomorrow-Jess
 Wants Smaller Bandages

Toledo, O., June 19.-Jack Dempsey, challenger of the heavyweight champion ship, will not be .perinitted to enter the ring against Jess Willard here July 4 with heavily tapedAShands if Willard can prevent it. The champion announced to- night that he intended to request the Toledo boxing commission and the ref cree to rule that he and Dempsey go to the rignside with nothing at all on their hands and have the tape put on while in their corners.
 The champion declared himself in favor of plain cotton bandages, with possibly a couple of layers of surgical tape wrapped around to hold the bandages in place.
 That is all care to use. and I think Dempsey should feel the same way about t. Willard said T believe it always looks bad to the spectators to see a boxer come into the ring with his hands looking as hard as club because pro- tected by some heavy material"
 Jack kearns, manager of the chailen- ger, said he was willing to abide by the decision of the boxing commission on choice of the referee, and that he was willing to have the bandaging done while in the ring. although it would un- necessarily delay starting the contest.
 The sun-burned Dempsey pulled on the gloves today for the first time since Monday and stepped two spirited rounds with Terry Keller before motion picture ncn. The workout was staged expressly for the movies, but Manager Kearns an. ounced the challenger would settle down t6" hard traing again on Saturday, which means that Dempsey will resume daily work with the gloves.
 The Challenger's eye, cut in workout 10 days ago, is entirely healed The lay off did not seem to have affected Demp- seys judgment of distance or the tim ing of the blows, and kellers lips and nose were puffed after the workout.
 Willard boxed eight rounds in add- ton to a round of shadow boxing and two rounds of other exercises.
 Jack Heinen was the victim of an- other right-hand uppercut but he man. aged to keep his feet. After the work out, Willard sealed PAS pounds
 Matt Hinkel of Cleveland, who was alternate referee for the Willard-Johnso fight at Havana, saw Willard in action this afternoon and declared that the champion boxed with greater speed than when in training in Cuba.

Scribes over the circuit are commenting
 freely on the remarkable comeback" of
 Eddie Mcdonald but if our records are
 right the heady one has been here all along. Mac never finishes among the
 300 hitters but he's always around the top in runs scored and incidentally runs cut some ice in every ball game. Last year the Irish wonder clouted the Dill over .265, and this year, after a slow start, he appears to be on the road to A higher mark. Eddie's fielding was for a long while the sensation of the team and now that his hitting is improving so rapidly, he promises to make strong bid for all-southern honors at the key stone.
 If Danny Clark and Homer Haworth ever played with the Barons. fans here have forgotten it. Pete and Eddie are the cause of this memory lapse.
 Just when Sigman was counted down and out, he uncorks a dandy game and "inches his job for the time being Sig is conscientious worker and takes the game seriously, in fact, too seriously for he lets the errors of his mates bother him. As a matter of fact the southpaw should have had only one run scored off him yesterday and had not Hairston dropped fly to center Sig might have blanked the opposition. Now if Crews can get started right again, things will look rosy.
 Cy Slapnicka will pitch for the Barons today with probably Helfrich opposing him. Ellam has two other available hurl- ers in Mitchell and Baker, one of whom might draw the assignment
 The Vols are crippled somewhat by the absence of Manager Roy. whose split finger refuses to heal. Wickham, how ever, fs putting up a nice game at short. We agree with our friend Tom Sherman that the war records of ball-players are all too soon forgotten. There's Gabby Street. for instance. Gabby covered him. self with glory over in France, was
 awarded the distinguished service medal
 and came home with wound stripe after lying up in a hospital for weeks.
 Though one of baseballs greatest war heroes, Street is-rarely thought of except
 as a plugging catcher, who has seen his best days on the diamond. There ought 70 be some public recognition of the work of Gabby and other diamond devotees who batted high in that greater game oi war.
 Though they chased Kid Elberfeld out of the game for two weeks they couldn't keep him out of the park. In that New Orleans series the fiery little Traveller manager paid his way into the Pelican park and hurled verbal 'pou a~ats'' at
 the umpires throughout the game. Once when Dee Walsh was protesting vigor- ously on decision, the Kid jumped up
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-06-20

from his box seat and yell, Its no use, Dee. they bet on the games like every body else"
 Fans here have taken exception to sev- eral decisions by Empires Blackburn and LasZon at second base, where the run ner slid in. Decisions both for and against the Barons have been rendered contrary to the fans judgment at this park, particularly on stolen bases. but we are inclined to believe that the Umps are right this time. Frequently the throw will beat a man to the bag and then the fielder will fail to touch him. Such has been the case on several occa- sions lately.
 Plans are on foot to stage "Baugh Day at Redwood next week, All di- rectors of the Southern league have ex- pressed a desire to be here and to pay their respects to former President Bob Baugh for his untiring efforts in behalf of the Dixie major. President Martin will present MT. Baugh with the life time gold pass which was voted him at the last meeting of the directors. Tex Mcdonald talked himself out of s yesterday. When Umpire Blackburn called him out on strikes, Tex slammed
  some remark, following which Blackie held up five fingers. Burleigh Grimes has been out of the game for sometime with tonsilitis, and the Brooklyn standing has suffered thereby.
 Babe Roberts, who tried out with the Barons during the practice season, lost heart-rending game to Memphis yesterday, errors letting in the lone run of the game. Babe" held the Chicks to three hits, too.
 Eddie Mcdonald has scored six runs in the last five games. Nashville teams always play hard, clean game. This may be due to Roy Elam's influence.
 Tom Stevenson came through in the pinch with a nicely placed bunt that broke up yesterdays game. Tom han ded several difficult chances perfectly, too.
 Bernsen deserved a hit on that liue drive in the first frame. Kaufman did well to knock 1t down, but he was lucky to be able to reach it. Lucy" spilled ball to center that looked easy. It was a line drive and Lucy probably wasn't use to 'em. Notice Fishers smoke lately? The big fellow takes an awful stride when he's running and his speed is not quite as noticeable as it might be that ac- count.

ARM|ST|CE TERMS
ACCEPTED BY HUNS
SEVERITY, BUT SIGN JUST
THE SAME.
New Terms Expected to Avert What
Promised to Be Critical Situation.-
German Operations Against Po-
lard to Be Restricted.

PariS-The German government, al
though complaining of the alleged Sc
verify of the terms, has accepted the
allied terms for the extension of the
armistice. according to an announce
ment made by Marshal Foch to the SUI
preme council on February II.
The signing took place at O'Clock
Sunday evening on board Marshal
Foch's private car at Treves.
This averts what promised to be a
rather critical situation, as it had been
reported that the Germans might per-
of refusal to sign.
The new terms, while s.;ll withheld,
are understood to restrict German OPP
erations against Poland within certain
fixed lines, thus removing the danger
Of a military clash, and ut the same
time opening access between the inte-
rior of Poland and the Baltic sea.
The more important results will take
form shortly, when Marshal Foch re-
turns to Treves for submission of the
details of the disarmament and demob-
ilization Of the German forces. which
are being formulated by the military,
naval and economic advisers of Focn.
These are of nature amounting, in
fact to preliminary peace agree
ment

elude both the naval and military
branches and the naval authorities ex-
pect the ultimate naval terms will pro-
vide for the dismantling of the fortifi-
cations of Helgoland and the kiel ca
nal, the canal being opened for COM
mercial navigation.
While the blockade is not raised by
the present terms. yet it is expected
that the disarmament under later and
more complete terms will obviate the
necessity of further blockade and
permit such economic and food relief
as is determined upon.
