 Coffindaffer started the game for the Barons and pitched fair ball. He all lowed five hits in five Innings, and two earned runs. Joe was wild as a March hare, but good support on the part of his teammates al critical moments kept the opposing score down. Coffindafrer walker five men, three of them in the first inning Meeker relieved Coffindaffer at the end of the fifth inning, and pitched a fair game against the Phils. The two runs made off him were the direct re- suits of errors by his teammates.
 Smith and Meadows between them twirled nine innings of. almost invincible ball. The Barons were let down with seven hits, several of which were de- cdedly of the scratch variety
 The Phillies started scoring in the first inning, when two tallies were collected off Coffindaffer's deliveries. Bancroft, first up, was walked, and took second when Joe threw the ball wild to the plate Williams also was given free ride to first base. J. Miller flew out to Griffith Stengle walked. Wrightstone grounded to Croll, scoring Bancroft. Croll chose to tag Stengle, and attempt- ing to rake a double out of the play, threw wild to first, letting Wrightstone go safe Williams scored on the wild peg Paulette hit through the infeld, but Le- Bouyeau ended the stanza with pop up to Griffith.
 The Barons put across their lone tally in. the second inning. Bernsen beat out a bunt Ellis hit through .shortstop, but was out at second when Peters grounded to Smith, who chose to catch the run ner at second base. Bernsen took third Wheat threw wild, begging down to hrsl base in an attempt to catch Peters OIL the bag Bernsen scored on the throw and Pete took second. The young rally was nipped in the bud by two quick outs made by Croll and Black.
 BARONS' LAST CHANCE
 The chances offered to Barons to score after that one inning were not to be hau. Only twice did the locals have a half way decent opportunity to force across another tally. In the seventh, Griffith came to bat and slashed out three-pas- ger down the third base line. He dled there however, as tho. next three men up went out Bernsen walked but went out in a double play when Gooch ground ed to Bancroft after Ellis had wriffed the air three consecutive times for strike out.
 In the ninth, Silva struck out to start the frame. Summa was tapped on the elbow by ione of Lee Meadows shoots Stevenson was sent in to run for Sumn1a. Griffith sent one so hot against Meadows shins that the Philly twirler was forced to hop and let the drive go for a safety. Bernsen and Ellis ended this chance or the Barons to rally and win out after

RATA FLAME" BURKE 0VU started a buzz among local fight fans a couple of weeks ago when he announced from the ringside at the Birmingham Athletic Club that he would battle Bob Martin on July 4. It came as bit of a surprise to me after the s. A. A. U. bouts that night when "Flame" confided his as pirations as a contender for the fu- ture heavyweight championship. It was my first time to lamp the New Orleans lad.
 But with his 22 years, six feet and three inches and an eighty-inch reach, it is bit difficult to think of this angular specimen of pugilism IS fu- ture American champion. And yet the information comes from New York and New Orleans ring circles that Jack Dempsey told the fans in the latter city last November Burke is better fighter than he was given credit for being Upon that occasion Dempsey is quoted as saying:
 q know I cannot be the champion forever. must go by the wayside some day. And when 1 do, sim cerely hope that Marty will be my
 successor. He is the gamest and squarest fellow ever met in the boxing game" . "Flame" Burke is so we'll known in Birmingham this information will be eouite interesting. He is not fully
 developed, but has the framework for man of the cahbre in size as Fred dy Fulton or Jess Willard.
 l After the bout with Bob Martin, Dave Driscoll, New Jersey prompt CT. may use the Crescent City fight CT against Harry Greb, Ray Smith, 1 Gene Tunney and possibly Billy Miske or Bill Brennan.
 1 With Martin Burke's entry as a
 championship possibility, the south presents three names to the boxing
 world and as figuring prominently
 on eastern sporting pages. The oth- 1 CTS are Pete Herman and Memphis
 Pal Moore.
 ! Burke scored seven consecutive vic tories last year, including Dick
 O'Brien, the two hundred and twenty five-pound Cincinnati giant. He is
 touted as the best proposition New Orleans has ever presented in the
 heavyweight class. He is not unlike
 Bob Fitzsimmons in appearance and style and is given credit for carrying
 a regular sandbag wallop in his left Hnitt. His winter weight was around lA65. Burke spared for four months
 with Dempsey on road tour. One lingering salaam and nifty
 salute to Brooklyn and Washington
 for the first real exhibition game of the season-ten innings, no scores on
 either side, called on account of dark lness.

PROBABLE LINEUP

Today's battle at Rickwood between the Barons and the Louisville Colonels will afford fans their fifth closeup of the home team.
 The Philadelphia Nationals seem to possess some sort of hoodoo over the Barons.
 The Colonels, classified somewhat lower. than the Phillies. have already been shown up by Bob Colemans Mo bile Bears.
 However. the Louisville team carries some stars and should prove a mean opponent for the Barons. Kirke, Acos ta, Tin Cup. and Decatur are former Southern Leaguers. Tin Cup will be Remembered as the player who pitched such no-hit, no-run game in the Southern League a couple of years ago. Meyers was with the Philadelphia Athletics. Rocker, also a catcher, was with New York Giants. Kobb, pitcher. is former member of the St. Louis Americans. Betzel has played with the St. Louis Nationals. Wortman is a former Chicago Cub, Massey played with the Boston Nationals.
 Ten more games are billed for this week and teams ranging from the lordly major leaguers to the youthful high school sand-lotters may be seen in action. The complete schedule for Birmingham through Saturday follows:
 TODAY

There were two firms in France last

and leather, plain and perforated. WAS
the most unusual thing they offered.
Each house had evening capes of
leather, one had hunting pink leath
err blouse trimmed with fur and cut
low in the neck, and both houses had
waistcOats and simple blouses Of
white and colored leather. Bands Of
perforated leather were put on redin-
gotes, they trimmed the front OF
skirts. and were used on sleeves. A
white leather frock was so entirely
covered with the cut t-out pattern that
its combination with chiffon did not
seem unsuitable. 1T was really evan
escent in itself.
The Americans thought that leather
bl0uses would be the decided fashion
offered by the French that we would
accept on this continent, but, as far
as the season has gone, We have not
taken 1t up. We have run off on
track of our own. We looked at
leather as a new fashion, considered
it carefully, then decided that we

Ancient again. these designs for the

Great may have banished the costume

not go weil with this latter frivolity
of dress. They thought Of it only as
the especial kind of French cOstumery
that had led it's leaders to the gull

And now that women have become
accustomed to severity of cut, to
scantiness of material, to the corset
less figure. and even to the bObbed
hair of the pages of the middle ages,
the dressmakers offer them one more
bone, as it were, to please their ap-
petites until there comes a change of
sartorial diet. Which means that Italy
of the fifteenth century has its in

That is why we wear leather. 1T

( First Leg Of Cruise
CAPTAIN FORCED DOWN
Commander Plane Descends
In Scranton, But Off To
Fresh Start Today
CAPTAIN FORCED DOWN

ERIE, N. Y, July 16.-The four
arr planes comprising the Alaskan
Squadron will not take off on the
second leg of their flight to Nome,
Alaska, until tomorrow.
Three of the planes arrived here
at $50 o'clock last night covering
the $50 miles from Mineola in less
than five hours, but the fourth pilot
ed by Capt. ST. Clair Street, com
mander of the squadron, was forced
to land at Elmhurst near Scranton
and did not continue the flight
here until today. He was due to
arrive late this afternoon.
The second leg of the trip will
take the flyers to Grand Rapids,
Mich, a distance of 800 miles, and
from there they will go $40 miles on
to Winona, Mimi, 295 miles more
to Fargo. N. d., and then cut straight
across Canada and British Columbia
to Alaska with five stops scheduled
before hitting Wrangell, the first Al
askan stopping place.
More Delay Possible
The expedition may be further de-
layed at Grand Rapids owing to the
non arrival there of special grades
Of oil. The oil was shipped from
Pennsylvania several days ago but
is still in transit and none other of
the grade used by the planes is
available there, according to word
from Grand Rapids today.
1t was reported today that the
flyers while crossing the Rockies
in Alberta will ascend to an alti-
tude of not less than 1900 feet be-
cause of unknown climatic condi-
tions.
