 An UnexpInInabIe Sensation
 Red Lucas, who has been pitch ing such sensational ball for the Nashville Vols this season, has no license to be travelling at such a furious rate of speed. according 10 Johnny Kane. Baron utility man. Lucas has won four straight for the Vols this year, and hasn't lost a start.
 Kane. however, who played for the Meridian club, while Lucas was working for Greenwood in the same league last season. says that Red proved only an ordi- nary hurlcr last year, and was beaten more times than he drew victories.
 On his first start with the Los Angeles club in the Pacific Coast league, Elmer Ponder. former Birmingham Baron, who was later with Pittsburg and then the Chicago Cubs. got away to a good start. Elmer held Yer non to six hits and the Angels won, to 1.

Ex-SOuthern League Head Present
 Capt. Bob Baugh, that grand old champion of any sport that's clean and wholesome, and ex- president of the Southern league was in the line of march. Gordon Hickman. former Southern league pitcher was there, Bun Alverson, who has helped organize many leagues through the past few years, was on deck. George Kir- cher couldn't pass 1t up. The funny man of baseball confided to me that he was going out to Bewisburg to umpire after the parade was over.
 And the athletes, regardless of the fact that they had nine in- nings of baseball before them, marched through the streets. They must have been a weary and foot-sor bunch by the time they had completed the pave ment pounding and reached the parks for their respective games.
 Birmingham needs more base ball diamonds for her amateurs. J. A. VanHoose, who has put in some hard work for more play grounds marched through the streets Saturday by President Earrison's side. Birmingham must give these boys more places to play. For amateur baseball in Birmingham is doing more for the health of the community than probably any one thing. It gets hundreds of men and boys out of Nff fov lows em to romp in health buiid- ing sunshine and exercise muscles that would stagnate otherwise. It gives other thousands pleasant recreation at least one afternoon a week.
 Dave Evans and his Boys club adherents were on hand, too, for a part in making the pageant 8 success.
 Gun Club Gr.sws
 Capt. Bob Baugh told me Satur- day afternoon that there were more members in the Birming- ham Gun club now than ever be- fore and that interest was higher than ever. You'd be surprised at the large number of conver- sions in rap-shooting ranks the past year." said Mir. Bangh. He added that another big state shoot was planned for July and tiat entries were already com ing in for this big event.
 
 Bumped into Pitcher Samuels Saturday. He tried out with Bir- mingham several springs ago. Said he quit baseball for couple of years, owing to an injury to his arm. but that he thought of going out again this season.
