Birmingham back on tcp. Gallagher and Herbst will most likely do the hurling for Birmingham. Both boys are good pitchers and should take the measure of the Travellers.
 Herbst, especially, Is a most prom ising hurler. He has had a show with the big leaguers, and he knows every kink of the game We saw him serv- ing slants to the Baron batters in really put something on the ball Moley's batsmen couldn't touch the pill at all.
 Gallagher has not been in top form since his first game, when he let Mo bile down with single hit. He should be just about primed to duplicate against Little Rock today.
 The Barons will have tough as- signment today. Kid Elberfeld will probably use Hengeveld and Robinson against the locals Hengeveld is a fair twirler and will make Baron bat ters do their best to win today. Robinson is the same nifty little portsider who let Atlanta down with two hits, Tuesday, only two men reach ing base. "Rube' will be a mighty hard nut for the Barons to crack.
 Coffindaffer lost his first game of the season yesterday. He has won three and lost one. He was decidedly out of form yesterday.
 It was lucky for Mir. Brottem yes terday that he collided with slow ball instead of one of Coffy's fast ones Joe delivered a rather easy shoot that caught Brottem on the head and as it was put him out for several min utes If it had been one of Coffin daffer's really fast balls Brottem might have been out for a longer period of time than two or three min- utes
 University of Alabama now has a pretty fair claim to the championship of the $. l. A. A. This title has rested with the university for three consecu- tive years, and it looks like it might remain there.
 The Crimsons have defeated every opponent this year, losing but one game, that to Mississippi A. &. M How ard Colleges victories over A. & M | wipe out that single defeat, especially as Alabama took one game from A. l& M.
 Mercer college fell before the at tack of Captain Stevenson's Crimson crew yesterday.
 Howard College triumphed over Van derbilt yesterday. Coach Dlliona bunch is having d very successful roa trip. By the way, today's game with Vanderbilt winds up the road series. Monday the old rivals. Birmingham Southern and Howard, will meet in another game of their series.
 Well, well, who'd a thunk it. They really had the nerve to demand an- other game. Failing to possess the usual humility of q beaten aggregation the Birmingham News baseball excuses have challenged, actually dared, The Age-Herald players to another game, The contest will sake place Tuesday week.
 Frank Smith, brother of Lewis Smith former University of Alabama star, will play with the News. Smith Is a good all-around player, pitching and play ing the infield or outfield with equal effectiveness.

The banging of the gong for the sec ond round of my fight with Jim Jef- fries in August. 1903, sent me tearing into him again. 1 was nursing the slight hope that by such tactics 1 might put Jeff on the defensive and keep him-for while at least-from tearing into me with his sledge hammer rights and lefts.
 Jeff met one of my rushes near the cen ter of the ring. There was an exchange of blows and 1 seemed to be having the better of it, when l saw-but too late-the blow on it's way for my body; the half hook-half uppercut that was terrible in it's power I saw the blow-but not soon enough to brush it aside. It landed.
 And then l went down with the feel ing that the entire ribbed section of my body had been smashed. Oh-what a blow-oh, what terrible pain it caused. l tried to get up a few seconds after l hit the floor but the mere movement of my legs sent spasms of pain through my whole body.
 I couldn't think of anything else but that Jeffs punch had driven some of my ribs through the outer wall of my stomach and that others were piercing my lungs. If man had hit me in the body with a crowbar he could not have caused more ghastly agony
 BLOW WINS FIGHT Jeff won the fight then and there He would have been given the decision on . knockout if it hadn't been for the lIilf- ness of the referee. He gave me a count that was slow-a count that enabled me some way, somehow, to get to my feat as he chanted mine" although I always will feel that between IS tnd 20 seconds 1 elapsed between the time l went down and when l was back on my feet. 1 As I got back to my feet, Jeff rushed, | determined to land the finishing blow. | But I was a little too experienced for !, that. Twenty years of ring warfare had | taught me a little. And included was
 the value of clinching when in trouble. | So. as Jeff came in, I fer into a clincn
 and continued to thwart every further
 rush of his in that round by holding on. | I had to-for another solid smash would
 have put me away.
 And I had before me the recollection
 that my friends had bet on me to last | five to ten rounds.
 | When the second round ended, I went | back to my corner in a crouchng way.
 I couldn't walk otherwise for when I

 ton Is Expected for Finals of Meet This Afternoon

Atlanta, May 14-(SpeciaL) )-Open- ing with unusual dash and spirit, the $. l. A. A. field and track meet began the 1920 session more than suspicious ly today. While preliminaries are usually slow and uninteresting, those pulled off Friday afternoon at Grant field broke all precedent, for the pre- lims were really hotly contested matches, exerting every energy of those who qualified,

Dawes, Scarboro, Pollard, Welsh and Granger of Tech were the only local lads to qualify, but they show promise and should make a creditable showing in the events in which they are entered.
 Only the field events, the 440-yard dash and the SS0-yard run saw the preliminary stage Friday. The whole track schedule will come off at ? o'clock tomorrow afternoon and should proSe treat to all lovers of the track game.

BARONS TO MEET LITTLE ROCK IN
 TWIN BILL TODAY

The Barons and ,he Travellers will meet at Redwood park this after noon in a double header. The first game will be called at 2:15 o'clock.
 Manager Molesworth last night had not decided who he will send in to pitch today, Tut it is probable that Herbst and Gallagher will be used against the Travellers. Fiber feld will probably use Hengeveld and Robinson.
 Birmingham went back into sec ond place by losing to Little Rock yesterday.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-15

Still, we have no kick coming. A team which can win 10 straight games deserves a little off-time. Anyway. the Barons have split even on their last four games. That's not bad a all.

INTERCAURCH COOPERATIVE CAMPAIGN BEGINS

V. E. Stenerson, Minot attorney,
who is district State Director for the
United Financial Campaign of the In
terhurch World Movement has just
returned from the eastern part of
his territory and reports that the
state organization for this campaign
is now being completed. He states
that great interest is being shown by
all people in the program Of the-In-
terchurch Movement, and that the peo-
pie are ready to put over the finan-
cial drive. which will take place the
25th of this month. Wesley G. Nc
,Dowell, who had charge of the Liberty
Campaign Director.
Mr.. 0. B. Herigstad, States Attor-
ney of Ward county, has been appoint
ed United Campaign Director for this
county and has charge of the cam
paign in Ward county. Cooperating
with him are various Denominational
county chairmen. There are thirty
Protestant denominations united in
this drive, and they have set a goal
at about three hundred and thirty
seven million dollars, which money
will be used by the. various partici-
pating denominations in carrying out
the forward movements Of their
churches.
Preceding the plans for this cam
palgn there was an accurate survey
made by the Interchurch Movement
Of the foreign hospitals and minis
terial sustentation, which survey has
shown the needs of the world The
church~.now feels that it knows the
facts and have united in a great CO.
operative plan to face the facts and
meet them. These thirty American
denominations represent approximate
lily seventy per cent of the protestant
church membership. They have de-
cided that in the interests of economy
and efficiency, they can cooperate
thru the Interchurch World Movement
in carrying on their work. This move
ment is Of such practical character
that it is making a great appeal to
men of sound judgment and it chal-
longing attention Of the nation, both
because of it's practicability and its
magnitude.
A county conference under the au.
spices of this movement will be held
in Minot, Friday of this week at the
Methodist church which will furnish
the church constituency and the pub.
lie Ut large an opportunity to become
familiar with the program of this
movement.

BLAIR ADDRESSES
TEACHERS CONVENTION

Hon. F. G. Blair, State superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Of H.
linois, spoke upon the subject of "Spir-
itual Outcomes." He gave as such
four results which have come from
the Great War and the Importance
of these upon the life of State and
Nation.
The speaker first showed that the
war had resulted in giving young
men a new feeling of brotherhood
for the duties that come. Because,
said he, of the inspiration received
from those who have served, the young
man at home is challenged to better
service and living.
Not only has the war shown the
mettle of the young men of the ma
tion but secondly, a new apprais-
ment of woman has been made. Mary
Crawford Holmes tribute to the wo-
men of the French peasantry was
quoted with splendid effect.
ed as the new relation between the
North and the South, a binding and
healing of any wounds resulting, from
the Civil war. The speaker gave
Colonel Mayo's Here's to the Blue,'
portraying the union of both North
and South in the common cause of
Democracy over seas, under a COM
mon emblem of a united America.
A new solidarity Of all races in
America. Superintendent Blair gave
as a fourth outcome and proceeded
to show how foreign speaking peo-
pie whose names were other than
American were consecrated to the
American Cause; that American be-
longs not alone to those ancestors,
who were on the Mayflower or who
had fought in the Revolutionary war,
nor yet to those who had saved the
Nation in the dark days of '61-'65 but
to every man and every woman who
comes to this country, content to
serve and to strive to uphold the
Ideals of American Democracy.
