Cow Gives Birth
TO Five Husky Calves

Regina, Sask. "A pure-bred
Jersey, owned by Hollis Will
liams, a farmer at Estlin, Sask.,
has given birth to FIVE calves,
weighing about 80 pounds each.
This same COW last year gave
birth to three normal calves.
The latest performance is some
what detracted from in the fact
that none of this years litter
lived. This was due to the
mother COW taking fright at a

and running over a mile, ac-

Chattanooga, Tenn. May 23.-tspe- ciaL)-Birmingham put on a bloody climax this afternoon to another one of those humiliating series to which the Barons have subjected the Look. outs year after year since Chat tanooBa re-entered the Southern league. The Barons not only admin- istered a pitiless flogging to the home boys, but they also all but drowned .Chattanooga's pitching ace Dan Boone. in A regular cloudburst of batting. Dan had won four straights for the Lookouts with only five runs against him. and only two of them earned, but when the Barons finished with him today his earned run average for the five games was only ordinary
 Harper stars at Bat
 Such another harvest of hitting has rarely been seen in these parts, even in the sand-lot leagues. Harry Harper and Taylor hit themselves home runs in the midst of the storm and the former Trayeler slugger got four hits in all. Silva and Taylor made three each. Every one of IS hits was a real hit. Stewart and Taylor conducted a little donation party in the fifth to keep the Look outs from drawing an entire row of blanks.

 Stewart started the game with a

The Barons have chalked their cues well in inaugurating a winning drive, and have rung up eight con- secutive bulls eyes during the past ten days or more. The eight straight wins have materially aided the Barons in winning six consecutive series. It is easy to realize how the Barons have climbed from seventh to third place during the past three weeks when it is shown that in six straight series Moleys men have broken better than even.

 To Bill Statham or Red Bates will probably go the responsibility of at tempting to make 1t nine straight victories this afternoon. Phil Morri- sons regular turn comes this after noon. but his hand ig still in bad shape from the bruise it received when Phil attempted to stop line drive, and 1t Is hardly probable that the big boy will be able to pitch this afternoon.
 Bill Statham broke into the win column in the first game at Chatta- nooga the latter part of last week. chalking up his first victory of the season. If Bill shows any signs of being right" when his turn to warm up comes this afternoon he will probably draw the assignment.
 Every Barionial pitcher available for mound duty won a game at Chat tanooga, and averages were boosted somewhat thereby. Batting averages jumped upward also. and the Barons are hitting the ball in the neighbor- hood of .295 these days.
 Shining of the sun
 It's true that prosperity has made It's home in the Barionial camp for awhile at least, and Moley's men in- tend to take advantage of every op- portunity that offers itself. When the old jinx sends his man Friday, Sir Slump. around, the Barons will need every run, hit, and victory possible to keep appearances up.

 Bill Streit is an old standby al the E. A. C., having served in an official capacity for several years. An athlete in his younger days, Streit has always pushed athletics at the B. A. C., and has been responsible for the prestige the B. A. c. has over the south in an athletic way.
 The B. A. C.'s annual road race and May day field games have given the local institution considerable pub licity and standing in Dixie, and Bill Streit deserves much credit for in- auguration of these affairs. MT. streit Is the retiring president
