PantherS Meet
 Pups In Mortal
 Combat Monday

The Birmingham-Southern Partners and the Howard College Bulldogs tangle affairs in the fourth encounter of the five-game series on Munger field Monday afternoon.
 The rival aggregations are primed for action following a week of hard prac- tice on the part of both squads Coach Dillon has put the Baptists through a series of strenuous workouts on Eagles field during the past week. while Coach Charlie Brown has not allowed the Pan- thef crew much rest during the same period
 Y The Bulldogs have won two of the pre- vious encounters. while the Methodists have annexed one battle. With the count 2 10 1. both teams will stage hard fights for the decision. A victory for Howard gives the series to the Bulldogs, while a verdict for the Partners will tie the count.
 The batteries for the contest have not been announced, but probably Eva Speer will mount the hill for the Pan thers and Johnny Ingram for the Bull dogs These two slabmen are the staTs of their respective staffs and if they tie up in a hurIing duel a nifty battle should be staged. Ingram won a four teen-inning affair from Speer sircr' time ago, and the BirminS Southern twirler is anxious to get another chance at the Baptist righthander. Head will likely work behind the bat for Howard, while Greek Griffin will probably draw the backstop assignment for the Pan. thers.
 If the Methodists should win, the de- ciding battle of the five-game series will probably be played at either Redwood or Eagles field Tuesday.

SLOOP RESOLUTE'S MAST CRUMBLES UP
 IN TRY-OUT RACE

New Haven, Conn, May 22.-Resolutes s hollow wooden mast crumbled up today as the Herreshoff boat was finishing the first round of her first tuning up race with the Vanitie, and with a crash, mast spars, sails and rigging went over tho starboard bow. Vanite, which was about two minutes astern, came up into the wind and after ascertaining that no one was injured, bore up for the harbor.
 As soon as the wreckage on the Reso- lute had been cut away, and recovered with the aid of numerous launches, the tender Montauk sent a line on board and the yacht was taken in tow at once for Bristol, R. l., where a spar steel mast will be stepped for a resumption of the races with Vanitie to decide which will defend the America's cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock ".
 These probably will begin off Newport in about ten days. Vanitie will be lowed to Bristol tomorrow, it is expected. All. hands of both boats seemed to feel that accident came at an opportune time, and that no Reliance can be placed on built up wooden masts.

BLACK BARONS WILL TACKLE PENSACOLA
 GIANTS THURSDAY

The Black Barons of Birmingham can easily be classed as the fastest colored baseball team in the south. Although they started off with jinx, they have shown on all occasions that they are equal to the test when it comes to a pinch. The Black Barons entertained the Nashville White Sox on May IT, IS and 19, and after taking a double header from the Sox, engaged in a battle with the New Orleans Giants, the team which they are play ins now.
 The Black Barons will return here from New Orleans for a double header with the Pensacola Giants on May 27- 2S. The game is to be called at 2:1o prompt and the public will do well to Journey to Redwood park on time.
 The Barons' team. owned and oper- ated by Birmingham negroes, is the fastest team in this section and can not be classed as an easy mark for the teams of other sections. It is composed of some of the very best young colored. players in the country, and should be gwen the support of the fans in each ard every city where they are to play.

CORNELL'S TWO BOAT CREWS TRIUMPH IN
 RACE WITH HARVARD

Ithaca, N. Y, May 22.-Cornells eight-oared crews defeated the oars- men of Harvard University in two two- mile races on Lake Cayauga tonight
 Coach Courtney's varsity won by two lengths and his freshmen by four lengths.
 Harvard's varsity fought gamely, but lacked the driving power of the Ithaca oarsmen. :
 Harvard threatened Cornell for only short distance in the varsity race. Tie, Crimson varsity caught the water first and obtained a scant lead, which was cut down by Cornell. who after the quarter mile post was never headed TOT the remainder of the race.
 At the mile Cornell was leading by lcngth, and there was open water be- tween the rival crews at the mile and a half stake.
 Cornell used a 36-stroke to secure a comfortable lead. while Harvard alter nated between 34 and 36. Toward the finish Cornell dropped her stroke to about 32 and rowed leisurely over the ] line, a winner by two lengths.
 The time of the varsity event was: Cornell, 10 minutes AZ seconds Har- yard, 10 minutes 5S seconds.

With the help of the Lookouts' seven errors and few Baron bingles, we won yesterdays game, 1S to 6. The chesty over the victory. The Look outs did everything in their power to give the game to us, and they eventu- ally succeeded, despite the warm re- sistance of the Barons.
 It was enough to make "Rube" Mar shall quit. Although the Lookout hurler didn't exactly do that, he took less interest in the game after his comrades began to back him up in such miserable fashion. The "Rube" was as sportive as a March cottontail in the latter innings of yesterdays game. At the close of the seventh in- ming. when the Barons made six runs, Marshall strutted out of the box, seem- ingly proud of the fact that the Look outs eventually put three Barons out
 Coffindaffer did his share of the work yesterday. Although he was driven from the mound by Chatta- nooga, much of the credit of the vic- tory is due to Joe. He started the rally in the second inning by singling and driving in two runs, after the Barons were out. Furthermore, he ran all the way from first to score on
 stewards smash in the same inning, the second. Small wonder that Joe
 became all in before the game was over.
 Stuffy Stewart made his third triple in three consecutive days yesterday. Lookout hurlers have been easy for Stuffy.
 Bernsen, a left-handed batter, rarely ever fails to cross up right-handed pitcher. When Bernie comes to bat the outfieiders move towards right drive. Half the time Bernsen sends a long smash into left field, getting a two or three bagger. He did that same thing in the first inning of yes terday's game.
 Birmingham has an off day today,
 but opens in Memphis tomorrow. Bir-
 mingham took every game in the last
 Baron Chick series.
 Which reminds us that by making it n complete series from the Lookouts
 yesterday the Barons have won all
 seven games played with Chattanooga
 this season.
 The Chicks are holding to the league
 leadership with a bulldog grip. Mem
 phis beat New Orleans yesterday, to 8. and in so doing prevented the Barons from oyerhauling them. At

lanta slid up ahead of Mobile and is now close on the heels of the Barons.
 Center field groove has been used to excess in the Baron Lookout series just completed. Stewart Bratchi, Halt and Stevenson have kept outfielders busy chasing their drives in that di- rection during the past three games.
 It must have been a bitter dose for Nashville fandom to swallow yester- day when Dick Kaufman. erstwhile Vol initial sacker, who jumped the team and went to Atlanta, crossed the plate with the run that won the game. Tt happened at Dell park, in Nash vile, too.
