Andalusia Meets
 Uniontown Nine in
 Big Titular Series

Montgomery, August 27.--(Special.) Greater interest probably never has been manifested in a series of anna teur baseball games by Montgomery than tho three between Andalusia and Uniontown, which will be played here Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day for the championship of Alaba- ma. Montgomery was selected as the place for the games because of it's central. location and the non-parti- san interest of civic organizations
 and all persons interested in the sport.
 Andalusia and Uniontown have played phenomenal baseball through
 out the season and played them selves into the championship series by defeating all corners. ReAsrva- tions have already been made by the
 fans of the two towns and surround ing country and Montgomery expects
 to have the largest crowd of visiting baseball fans in its history.
 | Managers of the two teams have
 declined to say who will go into the
 pitchers box for the first game,
 which will be played at Southside park Monday afternoon. The second game will be played Tuesday after noon and unless one team takes ooth
 games and the championship Tues day the third and deciding game will be played Wednesday afternoon.

EDDIE HANLON TO- MEET LEONARD AT B. A. C. MONDAY
Jack Brady, Dummy Barring ton, Red Allen and Others
 on Card Tomorrow Night

| Eddie Hanlon,. veteran Magic City
 scrapper, is ready for his bout with
 Young Leonard of New Orleahs, at
 the B. A. C., tomorrow night Eddie, who returned from camp only a week
 or ten days ago, is brown as hickory nut and almost as hard. Young Leonard should prove wor-
 thy opponent for Hanlon. The New
 Orleans scrapper has met and de-
 feated such men as Sailor Blanque, Young Wallace and others. It is
 even said that he defeated Dummy Mckinney, the crack Memphis wei terweight.
 HanIon Ready Mixer Han1on has always been good drawing card in Birmingham, as focal fans like to see him scrap. He has rough and ready style that Is pleasing to watch. Eddie always has been willing mixer, and any bout in which he takes part is usually cram full of action.
 Hanlon and Leonard will weigh in al at about 14S pounds each Leon- ard may top the beam a couple >of pounds less than that.
 In the semi final, Dummy Barring
 ton. B. A. C.. headliner, will meet
 Billy I4angler of Omaha. Neb.. a fast and hard hitting welterweight. Dunn my is not meeting set-up in Langer.
 In fact. the Nebraskan should force him to the limit to win, if Dummy | does win.
 Brady ys. Marlow Jack Brady will meet Young Mar low in the four rounder. Jack IS d fast and shifty boxer, while Marlow
 would rather stand up and slug. This 1 match should be interesting from start to finish, as it will be just another illustration of that age-old struggle, science versus braWn. Harwell (Red) Allen, one of the | toughest little lghtweights the B. A. C.. ever produced. will be sent against some boy to be picked later. Tommy Tompkins states that he is going to try to get someone who can
 make an impression on the tough hide of Allen, something several hard hitting boxers at the B. A. c. have been unable to do.
 The first fight tomorrow. night will begin promptly at S:30 o'clock. A battle royal will enliven the bill. | George Walters and Karl Langrebe | will act as judges. while Biscoe Seals will referee the main bout.

AND CHICKS
 OPEN SERIES TODAY

excursion rates to Memphis for today. With the Southern league race as close as 1t is and interest in baseball so high, it is not surprising that such large number Of fans paid the small price of train fare to start the Barons off right in the Chick series this afternoon.
 Then, there were others who took advantage of the excursion rates to visit the Tennessee city.
 After playing four games in Memphis, the Barons move on to Little Rock, where three day stop-over will be made. Six games will be played during these three days, as three dou- ble headers are on tap.
 Mike Eberhard will probably be sent in against the Chicks today. Spencer Abbott's choice of a hurler is prob1ematicaI. Marks may De sent Tn against the Barons.
 While Birminghanrs chances of winning the pennant are con sfderably smaller than they were a month ago, there are some rabid fans who still consider them contenders. Perhaps that is why such a mob of bugs &C., companied the Barons to Chick vile. A string of victories this week would help out lot, that's certain.

was done, however, and the fiery keystoner finally hushed up.
 The game rocked along until the eighth, with neither side threaten ing to score. In this frame, how ever, the count was severed, and the game won, as it ultimately resulted.
 Barons Win Game
 Whitehill singled to right, but Neiderkorn made a sensational and uncalled for one-hahded catch of Traynor>s foul pop-up. Stewart struck out but Emery walker. Tay- Tor lammed' a drive to right and Whitehill sped in from second. slid- ing into the plate fraction of sec ond before Shay's throw in reached Neiderkorn. Eddie Mcdonald almost had convulsions and the air was blue with his expressions of his opinion of the umps.. At that he didn't say anything that couldn't be said in feminine compahy, but his facial and other expressions were decidedly to the point Bernie grounded out, and the Barons took the field for sthe ninth inning with one run in tho. IT favor. With one out Neiderkorn sim gied to right, but was caught at second when -Bernsen raced over to the keystone and caught Emery's peg and tagged Doc trying to stretcn his hit into double. Cunningham struck out and the game was won for the Barons.
 Splendid Fielding
 Splendid fielding featured yester- days game. Not a single error was made, and two fast double plays were executed. In the second inning Gooch made a quick catch of Cum ningham's pop-up and tossed Neider- korn out few feet off first base. Gooch was doubled off first by Shay's peg in the fifth inning, after White hill had flied out to right.
 Hitting of the Lookouts was linn tied to three players, Hendricks, Nei- derkorn and Wingfield, the first named getting three hits and the latter two a pair of singles each.
 Bernsen got two clean singles for Birmingham.
 A feature of yesterdays game was Shay's great defensive work. Shay has deadly peg and twice he re- turned the ball to the infeld fast enough to make plays at the plate close enough to afford ground for ar 2, ment, and the rest was left to Eddie.

JAP TENNIS STARS TO MEET AMERICA IN BIG CUP SERIES
Niponese Net Team Clinches Victory Over Australasia
 in Final Matches

Newport, R. l. August 21.--Zen2o Shifhidzu won the final points of the Davis cup series for Japan today, defeating l. B. Hawkes. of the Aus tralasian forces, 4-6. 6-S, 6-2, 6-2. It was much the same tame and tireless tennis that the Japanese exploited in the matches here in which they conquered the team from the antip- odes by four victories to one. The only contest won for the Australia sions was the double match yesterday.
 Ichiya Kumagae defeated J. D. An derson this forenoon, S-6, To, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1.
 Hawkes. made the most of his skill. He made his attack at the net and there were times when he had shi- midzu on the defensive. It was in ability of the Australasian to gain his close range play that made it possible for the Japanese player to defeat him. Shimidzu's steadiness ac- counted for the points.
 In the closing games. when Hawkes. was tiring, the Japanese came to the net for some volleying and smash ing that furnished momentary thrills The contest always appeared safely in the hands of Shimidzu, who fin- ished off the final set with five con- secutive games.

 Barons Hit the Road
 Following Saturday afternoons victory over the Lookouts, Mo- ley's Barons shipped out of Bir- mingham for an invasion of Memphis. They open a four game series with the pennant winners today, and will not return to Redwood until September [, when they come back home to ring tho old season out. After their return here they play but one road game-a Sunday affair in New Orleans. The curtain will be rung down September IF.
 Landis Calls Baker
 Judge Landis. the high mogul of baseball, will call magnate Just as soon as he will a player. The judge proved this when he stepped on Proxy Bakers toes. The boss of the Phils gave out something slanderous on Wild Bill Donovan. after he had fired Wild Bill from the Philly man. agement. It was steering re- mark, which would have led one to believe that Bill was mixed up in the crookedness of the 1913 world series scandal. As a mat ter of fact, Wild Bill had merely been subpoenaed to give testi- mony. As soon as Landis heard of Bakers intimations he wrote the Philly boss and demandeo that he apologize to Wild Biil. Baker was humiliated at the call down from baseballs supreme ruler. but he made haste to com ply with I.andis' command.

 With Carnes, Fuqua, Brinkselle and Harold, the power boys infield LOOKS like a world beater, while a glance at the outfield, in which Burney Speer and Hammel play, shows any one that the garden positions are going to be one of the strong points of the electricity manufacturers nine.
 Preston Motor outfit
 Taking a glance at the Preston team, the first and most prominent ones noticed are Harry Santemeyer, Charlie Obrien. Ray Adams and Steve Harkins. With the showing that these diamond huskies have already made is needless to predict stellar performance from all of these boys in the big series this week.
 The following is complete roster of both teams,
 Alabama Power company; Brink selle, Bell, Carnes, Love, Eddens. Flu qua, Speer. Ellis. Burney. Hamelle. Pratt Stevens, Davis, Rives. Snyder. Malone, and Mahoney, manager.
 The Preston Motors: Ray Adams, D. Adams, George Clark, Raymond Clark, Hall. Obrien. Carlin, Dunbar. < 'Jeffries, Harkins. Giles, Cockrell, Johnson. Santemeyer, Roberts. Rum mage, Micky OBrien, manager and Griffith, assistant manager.
 While some of the players are bet ter than others, all of them are good ball players and all of them are fine sportsmen, so whether hard luck as- sails any of the regular stars on not; fans are bound to see good exhibi- tion of the national game played by as clean bunch of players as any that ever performed in this or any other league.
 The series starts Tuesday at Rick wood park, the game being called at ? o'clock.

Just about the biggest City league squabble ever pulled off Is going to take place when the winners of the pennants in the three divisions tie up In a three handed series which be- gins Tuesday to determine the best team in the local City league.
 A present only two of the teams are known, and these are the Preston Motors company team and the Ala bama Power company outfit. In the central division, tho pennant Is now In the hands of both the Drive It Yourself and the Acipco teams, as each of a double header played Sat urday to decide who will carry off the rag In their division.
 The Alabama Power company and the Preston Motors teams have two of the best teams that ever played in the City league, either team beins strong enough to rival the famous Westfield team of 1919, it is said by old-time amateur bugs of the city.
 stnr Pitchers
 To start with the pitchers, II might be said that the Alabama Power company has two of the nifu- est pitchers that ever twirled the old pill in the city loops in the per sons of Ellis and Pratt, who have been the mainstays of the Electri- clans fight for the rag. Ellis. the greater of the two. has easily led the eastern division pitchers this year and when he goes out on the mound with his varied assortment of hooks and shoots only few batters are able to hit him.
 Pratt while not the. pitcher that Ellis is. is no slouch of hurler. ana he will undoubtedly show some real stuff in the coming fracas.

JACK DEMPSEY HAS A WARM SPOT INV
 HIS HEART FOR THE KIDS, LIKE TERRY

, hotel the kid is always in waiting. It's Jack and Terry now and--whisper 1t; Terry is appearing in the incest suit of clothes. with cap and shoes and stockings to match, that a kid ever had. Give you one guess to tell how he got them.
 Likes the Kids
 Every man who attains soutstand- ing fame in any walk of life neces sarily has outstanding personal traits that are of interest Watching Jack Dempsey in his playtime in the metropolis, one sees several extraor- dinary kinks of personality, but of them all--in the mind of the writer, at least--is his quality of at- tracting little children. It seems to make no difference whether they are too young to know who and what he Is. They naturally gravitate toward him in preference to persons who happen to be in a room with him.
 Maybe this is because Jack has such a soft place in his heart for the kiddies. A friend of Jacks who has a cynical turn of mind says that Dempsey is attracted by chill dr en because his own nature Is so simple and because very often men he is with are apt to think beyond him. But the writer does not think so. Dempsey Vnay not be a wit and his mentality Is not devious, but he Is nobody's fool. Read what he said when the writer put the thing mp to him and judge for yourself
 Doesn't Knew Why
 Before the Carpenter fight. some fcols were, saying that 1t might bs fixed. that would lay down for . price. Look here, do you suppose I'd lay down to any man. now or any other time. when there are about 8 million or more kids in this coi.ntry looking up to me and writing sme lett ters every day and just sort of de- pending on me?
