Prospectiue Grid Stars to Attend
 Camp Winnataska

Football dope is beginning to flow freely among the high school boys as the time draws close for the opening of Camp Winnataska, the athletic programme, of which will be devoted largely to the training of football candidates. Captain "Yank' Rox of Central, has sent out letters to % prospective wearers of the Crimson. urging them to take advantage of the unusual programme that has been arranged by the Bir- mingham Sunday School association for the high school boys.
 Grid Stnrs on Hand
 The football training will be under the head supervision of Dr. Oscar deWolf Randolph, rector of St. Marys church, and a former all-eastern football star. He will have assisting him Hargrove Vandegraaf of Tusca- loosa, and one of the greatest foot ball men of the south; Tram Ses- sions of recent Alabama" fame. and Cupid" Powell. another old Ala bama star. These men will put the boys through a systematic training schedule which should fit them ad- mirably for real business on the opening day of~school
 In his letter to prospective candi- dates, Captain Rox said: Coach My CTS stated that he was going to put the players through such hard pro- gramme this fall that it would take Ia mighty good man to stand it; so lit will be to the advantage of every fellow to go to WinnAtaska and get toughened up fdr the grind that will soon come"

JAPANESE TENNIS
 STARS GAIN LEAD
 ON AUSTRALIANS
Nippoeese Davis Cup Team Needs Only One More Vic-
 tory to Meet Americans

Newport, August 25.-The Japanese Davis cup tennis team. consisting of 1chiya Kumagae and Zenzo Shimidzu reached point within one match of the challenge round against the United States when they defeated the Australian team in two straight matches on the Cason courts here today Shimidzu defeated Joe Ander- son in the forenoon single match in straight sets, 64, 7-0.6-4. In the after noon match kumagae won from J. B. Hawkes. in a gruelling five-set con test consuming two hours and 40 minutes of actual play, by scores Of 3-6, 2-6, S-e. 6-2. 6-3
 victory ia the doubles match to- morrow in one of the remaining singles contests Saturday will ciinch the right of the oriental stars to face the defending United States team at Forest Hills on September 2, and 5.
 ~The steadiness and endurance of the Nipponese players was the outstand- ing feature today Shimidzu had q comparatively easy win from Ander- son, but the afternnon match was a thrilling contest of speed, terrific stroking and placement in which Hawkes., while his strength lasted, dominated the situation.
 Kumagae raced about the court in tireless fashion. however, and the antipodean player found his strength unequal to the task of wearing him down.

Ny HEsRY VANCE

Rejuvenated, rehabilitated and renovated, the Lookouts came to our town Thursday and showed their teeth for the first time against the Barons on the home lot this season. McDonaldized, they seemed an en- tirely different team from the list less Lookouts who have been pas timing intermittently at the Wood" for the 1921 campaign. They humbled the Barons decisively Thursday, meandering down through the stretch with 5-2 victory.
 The mainest reason for the Baronial reverse was one Mir. Morris of lanky persuasion. This altitudinous right hander had hook that was breaking yard wide, and a good fast and slow ball to mix 'em. Consequently, the Moleys found themselves pop ping up or striking out for greater part of the afternoon, Morris yield ing but five swats for thenine frames. Three of these safeties were infield scratches, one was a clean single and the other was a drive which Pug nacia Allen lifted over the rightfield walls in celebration of his first time at bat, after a weeks layoff.
 1000 Kids on Hand
 One thousand kids, with 2,000 ton sils in perfect working order, and equally as many lungs hitting on all six. were present at the game, be- ing guests of the local association. It was Children's Day, and every kid under 12 was admitted free. After they had become seated in the third base bleachers Rick Woodward and the Chero-Colo company sent out 1000 packages of peanuts and 32,- 900 molars immediately began a masticating process until every single bender had been peeled and devoured It was great day for the youngsters. They rooted themselves to a whisper for the Baronal cause, but the bats of Moley's men didn't seem to be in ias good working order as the vocal chords of the "Skinnays."
 Floyd Wabbles
 Floyd Wheeler, who has strong armed and right-armed his way sue cessfully through many Baron battles this season, seemed to underestimate the power of the 'Noogans at the start of the game and Mack's nave rfcks had found him for a couple Of runs almost before Floyd knew what was happening. Hendrix, the old Vanderbilt star, who was canned by Memphis earlier in the season, greet ed Floyd with a lusty three-bagger as starter for the contest. Bill

put the Barons one to the good by one over the walls. Dutch was not equal to the task this tipe, however, and he sked out to Mcdonald on second and the rally wilted.
 The Lookouts and Barons will play the second game of the series this afternoon. Honeysuckle Vines, who has been sold to Memphis for next seasons delivery by Chattanooga will occupy the mound for the Look outs this afternoon, while Uncle Phil Morrison will do the twirling for the locals

Indians Protest
 Tanks } to 2 Win

Cleveland, August 25.-The Cleve- land Indians today protested yester- days to 2 defeat by the Yankees and requested an immediate ruling by President Ban Johnson so that the ninth inning might be played here August 29.
 The protest resulted from the all legged interference of Shortstop Peck inpaugh of the Tanks, with Catcher Steve O'Neill, preventing the latter from making a play on outfielder Miller going to third base after Peck paugh had bunted in the ninth inning. Miller later scored the winning run.

Shay was there In the pinch and crowned one for single, scoring Hendrix. Manager Eddie then pro- ceeded to dump down a sacrifice hit, which sent Shay to second and he galloped home on Anderson's chip shot to center. Anderson went out stealing and Neiderkorn popped up to short for the end of the frame.
 Lookouts Stiil Scoring
 The visitors boosted their total to five tallies in the first half of the third, when they sent three more runners scampering across the plat ter. Wheeler had an extremely bad and bumptious inning in the third. Hendrix started off things with an infield hit Shay got his second sin sic and Mcdonald whiffed. Ander- son too was out on fly to center field, and it looked like the husky Baron pitcher might weather the storm. Neiderkorn, however, de- livered with single. Cunningham walked and Croll slammed out a single, these blows scoring three tsilies.
 After that Wheeler settled down and pitched the ball that has made him Baron star. The Lookouts got no hits and no runs off his deliv- cry after the disastrous third. But the dirty work had already been done, and the five run lead proved to big an obstacle, especially with Morris having the Barons feeding out of his hand in every inning except the latter part of the third.
 Pug's Homer
 Pug Aliens walloping drive over the right-field walls for a homer as starter for the Barons' half of the third, semed to unnerve Morris for the moment and he walked Gooch and allowed Wheeler to hit safely to right. Traynor hit to the infield and forced Wheeler at second, go- ing safe on flelders' choice. Pie then stoleN second, Stewart famed but Emery drew complimentary ticket to first, filling the bases. Mort ris lost control of the ball momen- tarily and Taylor too drew pass, forcing Gooch home with the second and final Baron tally of the game. Bcrnsen, up in the pinch, with three men on had the chance of lifetime to tie up the game with one ot his famous long distance clouts, or to
