 Kicks Little Threat
 Boss Rick Woodward is getting as bad as the old baseball vet who threatened to retire in the Fall and is one of the first to don the spangles next spring. He says ,. e will sell the Birmingham club if he can get a high enough bidder. Maybe he would, and then again maybe he wouldn't. Maybe if he would. Birmingham wouldn't let him. The Magic City needs a good sport like Rick owning it's baseball franchise and if he should decide to let it go an awful howl would go up.
 Rick may not know it, but baseball is just as much part of his life as keeping track of iron and steel quotations, super intending and guiding the des- tiny of the Woodward Iron com pany--or mayhap, seeing that all the engines on the A.

 Boss Woodward would be lost if he couldn't put on unie on a summer afternoon, stick a cud of chewing in his face. and get out there In pepper game with his hirelings. That privilege would be denied him. if he sold out his club. So, like the old vet, he may make all kinds of threats in

Ruth Heroes Some More

Ruth Heroes Some More
 Babe Ruth proved again that he is worth all the money the Yank owners paid for him, and all the mazuma they paid to him. Bambino ran his home run string up couple more in the hectic struggle with the Clevelanders Monday, and also got a luscious two-bagger out of his system. The willow of the Bambino has contributed a pennant to the Yankees. Without his mighty swats of the summer, regardless of the other vast array of bat ting strength Huggins has on murderers' row, the New Workers would never have been able to pull the trick.
 Ruth is not the type of athlete who makes any big hit with the newspaper writers fraternity, and by virtue of certain faults, they have been a bit slow to give him the publicity that was forthcom- ing last year. Yet, regardless of his temperament. his faults and his little mannerisms; despite the fact that Bosses Huston and Ruppert raked him over the coals and threatened to suspend him the past spring for not getting into condition, Ruthie has hammered his way to greater fame than ever, and has literally hammered the Tanks into the American league championship, and a chance at titular honors for the championship of the world.
 Chicks Stage Comeback
 Oh, well, who would have thought it? The Chicks staged comeback Monday and trade the count for the Dixie cham pionship 2-3. The Spencerian bows have won two and the Texas Leaguers three. If the Bluff City aggregation can smuggle in an other victory in their next go, the count will be evened. If the Fort Worthies chalk victory the series wil close.
 Hints emanating from Chick vile have brought to light the alleged factl that the Chicks were in none too good shape for the crucial test. Madame Rumor has it that the Chicks celebrated con tinuously following their victory in the Southern league. They opened the campaign with their nerves a bit on edge, but they moved their way through one sided victory in the first game. IL looked like a pipe from that want age point and they celebrated some more. Then the first thihe they knew fort Worth had won three straight games, and maae the count S-l.
 Ahbott's men again played the ball they are capable of playing Monday afternoon The saihe vicious attack, which character ized their work in the Southern league all summer was put on display again, and they had llttie trouble in winning.

 Coombs Plays Good Game
 Cecil Coombs, Birmingham boy. is playing good ball for the Texans. Cecil is Birminghan boy by adoption. He came soutn in 1915 and joined the Barons- He wintered here following the season. He has been wintering hare ever since. Cecil played several campaigns with the Bar ons. then went to Mobile. to Nasn- yills, and was finally traded to the Texas league.

From the hills of Owenton comes the piercing wall of the Panther, as he begins the last lap of grid grind in preparation for Mississippi Agricul- tural and Mechanical Friday in Stark vile, in what is the initial game of the season for both elevens.

 Shifty" Logan thoroughly enjoyed last nights affray with Battling Kelly At least, that's the opinion ringsiders would arrive at after watching Logan's actions and vary ing expressions of his face q few moments. Logan was given the de- vision over Kelly after ten rounds Of the oldest, most thorough and excit- ing ping pong. slip slap affairs ever staged at the E. A. C.
 Logan, who appeared in much bet ter shape than when he fought Bar riugton at the B. A, c. 8 month ago, easily outpointed Kelly. He didn't make mark on the hide of the tough Battler. but he did slap Kelly around in highly eNasperating manner. 10 Kelly, at least.
 The Memphis Jumping jack un- eorked all his tricks used against Harrington; and then some.
 Logan stood Up
 There was one difference in his fight with Harrington and that last night. Against Burlington, Logan kept his distance, slipping in d jaD or a hook when an opening offered itself. Last night, however. he gave Kelly little ground, and battled toe to toe when Kelly chose to start mixing matters,
 Kelly appeared unable to fathom the queer monkey motions of Logan, and seemed bit bewildered by the amazing speed with which Logan can hit. Logan beat Kelly to the punch almost every time, which accounts for his victory.
 Kelly Rallies
 The Battler essayed a rally in the tenth round that had it come few sessions earlier, might have altered the tale of the scrap considerably. That tenth round last night was the only one that Kelly won, as Logan won six and three were even.
 In the tenth, Kelly slugged Logan mercllessly. and might have stopped the Memphis boy had the latter not hung on while he, was groggy.
 When Biscoe Seals raised Logan's hand in token of victory, there was none of the usual booeing of the wolf gang, who oppose every decision.
 
 It was apparent to everyone that Logan had outpointed Kelly, but 1t was equally apparent that Kelly wasn't hurt bit, and could have put up a much better fight against almost any other man but Logan. The Memphian seemed to have kelly's number down pat.
 Landis and Kennedy Draw
 Although the majority of the fans seemed to think that Landis won the bout. the referee called the Kennedy Landis scrap a draw. This bout was six-rounder.
 Landis landed many telling blows, and appeared to have Kennedy at his m,ercy when the final gong of the sixth round rang. The chubby boxer had slugged Kennedy severely, and 1t was beginning to look like knock out victory for Landis when the final gong rang.
 The way the writer had it doped out, one round was even, one Ken nedy's, and the last four were won sby Landis The Willie Meehan ot

Radical thinkers. perhaps because

but they do have onions.
One of the incest ways to cook
onions is to bake them right In
their husks. Choose quite small
onions so they will bake quickly.
Do not wash or peel or season or
add any water. Use an old pan and
bake them about forty-five minutes
in a moderate oven.
Quite a little syrup bakes out of
the onions. Serve them in the husks
and let each person season his own
with salt, pepper and butter. The
top part of the onion lifts out with
a fork and makes them perfectly
easy to eat. Many who refuse
onions on general principles like
them baked this way.
