Me- Adams is entered in the fancy diving contests and if the stories which are drifting upward from Montgomery concerning his diving ability are true then few divers around this old burg are going to be forced to do some tall diving if they want to carry off the laurels for the day. Paul Omar is a sprinter entered in the junior meet and he should be able to furnish some keen competi- ton for the lads of Birmingham in the junior meet

 At the short Field
 Between second and third one sees two great performers, Tom my MeMillan and Pie Traynor.. {. One is going majorward. The other is playing out the last years of useful career, playing better ball as his sun is setting than at any time of his career. Pie has wonderful future before him. He has everything in a baseball way, including youth. But you might take this thought home with you--McMillan has driTen in more runs for Memphis this season than Traynor has for Birmingham. Tommy has prob ably been just as effective on the defense, too, as has Pie. Traynor outshines him on the runways, but for this season, and this sea- son only, McMillan has probably been a more valuable man to his club than Traynor. l say this without trying to discredit the Baron flash. He will probably shine in the majors more bril- liantly than any man eyer going out of this league from a short field berth, but for this season McMillan has been his equal. If not his superior.

Morrison and Wheeler, as they are going now, are really pitching better ball than the Memphis moundsmen, for they are pitching for a club that cannot hammer out as many hits and runs as the Memphians.
 But, after you've sifted the whole thing down, and made com parisons, man for man. you must admit that Memphis deserves to be at the top of the league, and ahead of the Barons They've been lucky-yes. But with all this luck, Spencer Abbott has been eternally driving 'em, and making 'em take opportunity of every faltering step of the enemy. No lead is too large for Abbott. He has 'em going in there all the time. He's injected his own fighting spirit and pep into every man on the team. As they come in he has pat on the back, and something to say to em.

CITY TANK MEET TO BE STAGED AT EAST LAKE TODAY
By mARMELL ALLEN

Some of the classiest diving and fastest swimming that has ever been pulled in Birmingham is about Co be pulled this afternoon, when all of Jones valleys water dogs and fly ing fish journey to East Lake. where they will vie with each other for the city championship swimming and diving honors Of course, the city honors are important to all swim mers entered, but one of the most important things about this meet is that fthe fish who make the best showing in this little test of aquatic skill will be given a chance to show their wares in the Southern A. A. U. swimming meet, which is to be held next month.
 The entry list for this meet is the largest the officials have ever had. and. despite the fact that it is pri- msrily city affair, there are two out of town entries who arc anx- iously awaiting a chance to show their wares before an audience of Birmingham swimming enthusiasts.

Like Dollar over R Dime
 If one would speak frankly, one would be forced to admit that the Chicks stand head and shoulders above anything in the league, collectively. and taking 'em man for man. In the catch ing department, Abbott has Dowie and Hungling. The latter is the better man of the two. but each is so good that he al- ternates with each other day n and day out. To match Mem phis in the catching department, Moley has only John Gooch. This gives the Chicks two for one in catching, even if it is admitted that Gooch is as good receiver as Dowie or Hungling. Some think so. others do not. Gooch has one bad fault--his over anxiety to win. There never was a harder fighter in the league, but Johnny let's this over-anxiety get the best of him sometimes.
 Tie at First
 There is not much to choose from at first, McLarry is a good ball player. Bernsen is just as good man as the fans would care to see at first. Both are a bit top heavy afield and on the paths, but each is powerful slugger, liable to break up ball game at any time. If it got down to choosing between the two and was running a ball club, I'd take Dutch. Hes an easier man to handle than McLarry. True, Abbott has handled Polly thus far this season. but Lewis and McCloskey failed last year. And others have failed.
 Champion Keystoner
 Yockey, looking after the key stone for Memphis. is the best second -baseman in the league. He Is a flash afield, and a good, re- liable hitter. Stewart, while a great little man around second, Is not up to Yockey's class. He's not as dependable fielder or as consistent with the willow. He has more speed, but less power.
 Comparing the Gardeners
 In the ,outfield it would not do~ to make too close a comparison. Memphis has great. trio in the garden. Birmingham on several : occasions has boasted a better outfield than now Pug Allen has spent the season running up batting spurts and falling back <into slumps. He's great defen- sive man, and sometimes a pow erful offensive strength. Her rick Emery is not great hitter. He doesn't wade into 'em like an outfielder should. His speed has helped him get lots of hits this year As fly-chaser he stands in place by himself. but his arm is none too good, and his batting eye is none too keen, even though he has managed to stay up over the 300 mark for the better part of the season. Doc Silva is youngster who seems to be playing better ball right now than at any time this sea son. But Doc, too. has spurted for a W days and then fallen into X with his hitting. Take Williams Singleton and Camp and put Sem against the Ba- ronial trio. Any manager in the league would trade Emery, Allen and Silva for Camp. Singleton and Williams, and be. willing to

ROYALTY KEPT FROM DANGER
But Tiger Shooting From the Back Of
an Elephant Lacks Element
of Real Sport

Tiger hunting is the sport Of kings,
but one of the penalties of royalty is
that the sport must be deprived Of
the danger which Is one Of its best
elements. writes a big-game hunter In
the London Daily Mail.
Danger. which is the spice OF all
real sport, is practically eliminated
when the hunting is done on elephant
back, for the sportsman Is in pO-
sition of safety in hOwdah, kind
of box or cage arrangement, securely
fastened on the elephants back.
The best method of hunting tigers
In those parts of the country where
the ground Is suitable is for one or
two spOrtsmen to camp out in the
jungle with a small native following
and without elephants, although these
are necessary, owing to the tall grass,
in the sub-Himalayan region.
The tracks Of tigers are found and
their comings and gOings studied frOE
the signs that are clearly printed in
the book of nature for the eye of the
observant hunter, who will soon find
out the best spots In which to tie up
the young buffaloes that serve as bait.
These should be picketed near wa
ter and shade, for the tiger is impa-
tient OF heat and thirst.
In such a spot the tiger will lie up
near its "kill"; the beat is arranged
with a number of natives, who may
range from a dozen to a hundred or
more, according to the nature of the
ground, and the tiger is driven up to
the gun, posted at point of vantage.
Our soldiers do not often get
chance of tiger hunting, but | recol-
lect how one Of them, who did not
know at all what to expect, joined IN
a beat for a tiger.
The beat was empty and the tiger
could not be found. But after some
time the soldier came up to the sports
man and said: 81 don't know vha'
you're looking for, but l saw som.
thing like a blinking big eat i
up over there"
He had evidently had no T.
idea Of what a tiger was H.

Russian Circus Must Go.

The soviet newspaper "Trud," which
in English means Labor" says that the
circus must be banished by the Rus
sian government. 1t seems that the
clowns of Russian circuses have be-
come political satirists. One was seen
to rub a lean stomach and dub it the
Soviet commissariat for food" An
other. spinning around, declared mag
niloquently that he was increasing
production"
Our clowns are not such deep think
ers. They seek 10 make the proleta-
riat laugh rather than to make the ju-
diciOus think. But the circus itself Is
incompatible with bOlshevism. Ii Is
too light-hearted But what is the
poor Russian to do for diversion? What

Help Nature Make Good Teeth.

Well-made and well-mineralized teeth
should not stand in need Of dentistry,
at any rate until after middle age,
says the Lancet UOndon). The chief
condition on which the development
Of good teeth depends and continues
Is sound general nutrition not only Of
the baby but Of the mother before
the baby Is born.
To attain to sound general nutrition
breast-feeding is the first requisite !;
the jaws must be developed by being
exercised; the nose, as well as the
mouth, must be kept clear and clean.
