Four Teams in
 Tight Race for
 Honors ir Dixie

New Orleans, August H-The race for the pennant in the Southern Association is the tightest it has been in years, with four teams really contending and so closely punched that there is less than two games difference between the lead ing New Orleans club and the Atlanta Crackers in fourth place
 New Orleans played seven games dur ing the week and won five of them, pass ing Little Rock Friday when the Travel CTS lost to Birmingham Little Rock. after successful road trip, sumped badly, due to difficulties in the pitchers $ box, and lost five of seven games played, splitting a double-header with Bfrming- ham today. thereby remaining in second place as New Orleans.
 Memphis were prevented from playing by rain. Birmingham only lost one out of six played, put was unable to ad- vance from third place, and gained lit tie on Atlanta, whicb team won four out of six games. Memphis lost three and won one. while Mobile played even, winning three and losing a like number
 Nashville won two out of six, and the tail-end Chattanooga team won one out of three
 New Orleans is badly in need of pitch CTS to keep up the pace. and while the team is fielding remarkably it is weak in batting. Little Rock has the hitters winch IS all that has kept the Travellers up in the race. With the exception of Robinson. Elberfelds club is extremely weak in the box.
 Birminsham, in third place. with a strong hitting team and perhaps the best balanced pitching staff in the associa tion, with long home stand just ahead IS perhaps in the best position to win the coveted pennant

The federation from the United States, with Pat Mcdonald carrying the Ameri- can flag and Henry J. Hebner bearing the standard, was well received After the flags and officials marched the navy men in uniform. then the seven coaches. the sixteen girl swimmers wear ing natty white skirts and blue jackets, and the athletes.
 An army contingent was at the end of the American group.
 Childe's delegation of two athletes and two officials and those of New Zea and Portugal. with four each. were the smallest Swedens 1So athletes were loudly cheered.
 There were eighty-four women in the narade. forty-two of them representing Sweden. Most of the women are swim mers, but some of them are gvmnasts The group of flaxen-haired Danes in their light blue gymnasium bloomers was the most picturesque in the field.
 great many of the delegations dipped their flags as they passed the royal box, others cheered and some used charac- teristic national gestures. such as the twenty white-sweatered, gymnastium- trunked Brazilans led by Alfrando Costa who put their right hands to their hearts and their left hands in the air while passing the monarch. Tho Americans executed "eyes right" and did not dip their flag.
 Mac Dermott the Canadian flag bearer. started without a flag on the pole which he carried. but at the con clusion of the parade, when the athletes filed out of the stadium. he had secured a tiny ensign somewhere which was pinned to the pole and carried out at the head of the dominion thirty partici- pants. All the committeeman were pre- sented to the royal family.

Big Stadium
 for Olympic
 Meet Opened
Formal Ceremony Marks Event, With Thousands of SpectatOrs-ROyalty
 Present at Opening

Antwerp, August IA. - The Olympic stadium was opened today. It was a formal cere- mony, staged with a setting of flags, banners and fluttering pennants against a background of white stone, cement and wood, with royalty, official dom, diplomacy, fame and fashion participating in the programme or represented in the boxes.

 The Americans, as result of the rein statement this morning of Dan Ahearn who had been dismissed from the team on charges of insubordination, went into the parade in fine spirit and full of hope for victory. Their delegation of 299 was the largest in the field, with the excep- tion of the Belgians, whose ranks. swelled by scores of officials, num- bered 301
 Under the warm sunshine of perfect day the beflagged field was thronged with Olymp pie competitors, ranging in color from the pale blonde men and women of the northland through all shades of brown of the Japanese, tur- baned Hindus and fezzed Egyptians to the almost jet black of some of ths Americans.
 In age, they ranged from little Aileen Riggin, the twelve-year-old American diver, who kept step bravely with the longer strided big fellows of the Ameri- can team, 10 bearded Belgian archer, the last in line, who might have been Aileens great-grandfather
 There was a small crowd of spectators at the stadium, some of the sections be- ing almost empty, but the official boxes were crowded The entire Belgian royal family were in the royal box.
 When King Albert, at the invitation of Count Baillet-Latour, head of the Bei- gian Olympic committee, proclaimed the stadium open. after Cardinal Mercer had pronounced the benedicton. seven can non shots boomed and carrier pigeons fiuttered over the field. An airplane fly ing low gave the only twentieth century touch to a coorful pageant such as might have attended tournament in knighthood days.

SENATOR'S TOO TIGHT FOR
 MILES AND BROTTEM

Bob Allen and Kid Elberfeld stirred up a nice kettle of fish when they attempted to turn back Outfielder Calvo and Pitcher Carlson to Washington and to quash the deal by which Outfielder "Bing' Miller and Tony Brottem went to the Nationals in return for the two other players and considerable cash
 Calvo and Carlson are hanging round in Washington, nobody's property, so far as playing ball goes.
 Griffith says that the deal for the two players was bona fide; that nothing was said relative to Carlson s ability to make good and that there was nothing wrong with the pitchers condition when he was sent to Elberfeld. Consequently. the Washington club insists that Miller and Brottem must be turned over to them in Accordance with the terms of the deal and that Calvo and Carlson are the prop erty of Little Rock.-Chattanooga Times.

Analyzng the actual records of that staff. and it will be found to consist of Burleigh Grimes and a prayer. Grimes has pitched won derful ball; deduct his record of victo- ries, and Brooklyn would be down in the ruck floundering vainly for a foothold in the first division.
