"DANCE AND STAY YOUNC,"
 SAYS FAMED BALLET GIRL

has steadily pushed forward until to- day London, aI>1eaEt, accepts her as the greatest ballet dancer in the world, and wherever and whenever she appears the theatre is stormed by those who wish to admire her art.
 You ask me if I would advise bal let dancing as q career for girls" I1y- dia said. 1T say yes, providing the girl is well made, has a certain amount of talent and is determined to work hard.
 "But few people realize how hard a ballet dancers life is. She must give all of her time and energy. For years, from the age of nine, if possI- bie. she must goz through a long and difficult training.
 "If the aspiring dancer does not love dancing for it's own sake there are many obstacles to keep her back from perfection and success. There is so much experience and tradition behind it that, in spite of it's exha ust- ing activity, it is in ne way harmful to the female body"

Bout IS Cancelled Due
 To Sharkey's Illness
Memphis Boy Suffers Ner- 'vous Breakdown Following Sisters Death and Is Unable to Appear.

The red-bloods were handed a dis appointment Monday, when it was announced that the scheduled bout between Young Jack Sharkey and Claud Wilson had been called off en- tireiy. Tommy Tompkins, after re- ceiving wire from Sharkey' man. ager Sunday night, announcing the death of the clever boys sister in Memphis. stated that the affair wou,,. be changed from Monday night to Wednesday night.
 On the heels of this announcement Tommy received a second wire from Sl arkey's manager which contained the information that Sharkey had suffered a nervous breakdown over the death of his sister and that he would be unable to do any ring work at all this week.
 Tompkins, while regretting to dis appoint the fans, held a consultation with Octavus Roy Cohen, chairman or atheletics at the club, and the two decided that it would be better to leave off the card than to substitute less clever boy for Sharkey.
 Tommy is pretty well satisfied at that. In agreeing for Claude to meet ,Sbarkey on Wednesday night the willy manager of the Birmingham rhenom realized this wouldn't give Claude much rest in which to re- cuperate and meet Carl Tremaine in Memphis Monday night.

Red Bates and Phil Morrison Slated to Take Hurling As- signmentin Bargain Attrac- ton.

The fair fans of Birmingham will be given the opportunity of seeing some bargain baseball at Redwood Field this afternoon. then the Moleys and Travellers will clash in double header. This following on the heels of a couple of double bills last week, and another scheduled twin arrange ment for Friday with the Chicks will give the fans superfluity of twin engagements in such short order.
 Manager EIberfeld will probably send couple of left -handers against the local crew this afternoon. using Warmoth and Rube Robinson in all probability in an effort to make it three wins in row from the Barons.
 Manager Moley will send Red Bates and Phil Morrison to the mound for the locals. He used Red in the final frame against the Little Rockers Monday, but Red didn't get enough work to hurt him.
 Kid Elberfeld, who is here with the Travellers has just been out of the hospital a short while, after an extended illness. He witnessed Mon day afternoons victory from the roof of the dug out, but didn't seem as full of pepper as of old. As a mat ter of fact the Kid hasn't fully re- covered yet, and gets about in clum- sy fashion.
 This afternoons double bill will get going at 2:15 sharp.

Rx HENRY VANCE

Buriett and Harper were in the kick of the fray Monday afternoon in the fifth frame against Little Rock. Harper booted another in the ninth and so did Umpire Lewis in calling q decision at first. Mike Eberhard, who weakened under the costly errors piled up against him as taken from the mound after having pitched his arm off. Bates was sent in with the winning run on base and Little Rock grabbed off the encounter. 5-4
 The wash-day battle was a heart breaker for Eberhard who pitched one of the prettiest games of his career under difficulties. Up to the ninth Michael had allowed but two safe wallops. but these two hits con- nected up with costly errors by Bur kett and Harper, had given tho Peb- bles three tallies. They entered the ninth one run to the bad and emerged from it one to the good.
 All the breaks of the well-known game went against the Barons in the ninth; when they started off with a 4-3 lead. Jackson was first up and he hit roller to Burkett. Jesse fielded the ball cleanly, whipped 1t to first and it beat the runner there by a half-stride. Umps Lewis called him safe, however. and Joe Connolly followed with a single into right, which Harper let get through his legs and hands for roll to the fence, Jackson coming home with the tieing run. Ebbie walked from the box at this point and Red Bates went in. Red walked Schleibner and Barrett dropped a bunt in front of the plate. Bates picked the ball up and threw to third to get Connolly, and all hands were safe. Lapan skied out to Robertson and Corrigan attempted a bunt, the ball meeting fast one square1y, and bouncing through Bates hands to Stewart, who tossed the runner out at first, but Connolly came home with the winning tally on the play. That settled the old ball game.
 Ebbfe's Great Pitching
 Eberhard breezed through four in- ninEs of baseball without allowing a lit at the start of the game, while lis mates were busy pounding out four runs on pitcher McGloughlin. The Barons were completely baffled Ly Clary after he had relieved Mo- Gloughiin at the start of the fifth, however, and the Little Rock hurler

set them down in one-two- three or- der for five innings without allow Ing hit. He was using a terrific smoke ball and curve that swept around the corners In a weIrd-like manner.
 In tho first after Silva, who had been switched to leadoff man by Moley. had been retired Stewart drew Q walk and stole second. Stuff fy moved over to third on an in- field out and came home when Jack sons low throw to first allowed Clarke, who had been switched to the cleanup position to go safe. Tom my Taylor followed with a single into left but was forced at second by Noun.
 Moley's men came back with two more in their half of the second. With one gone Robertson walked and Eberhard singled. Silva forced Eberhard at second. going safe on fielder's choice and stealing second. With men on third and second Stew art cracked a single into left which brought two home and ran the Bar on total to three.
 The homeiings scored their final stally In the third frame. With one gone Stump Clarke managed to get hit by a pitched ball, Taylor followed with a single to left and Neun did the same thing. bringing Clarkie home. That settled the Barons' SCOT ing for the remainder of the after noon.
 Two Costly Errors
 In the fifth Little Rock. aided by Baron errors, blasted their way to three tallies. Eberhard should have really had a shut out for the day, for none of the tallies made off his delivery were earned. With one down in the fifth Barrett slammed a line drive into right which Harper got under with both hands. but which he dropped. Lapan followed walls, which sent Barrett over to third. Corrigan pulled whiff for the second out, and Yarmouth, hit ting for McGloughlin slammed a grounder to short which Burkett fielded cleanly and with all the time in the world to make the throw. His peg was wide of first base and be- fore the ball could be retrieved two runners had scampered across the plate. Zoellers' double into right brought in another and the Travel CTS after having looked hopelessly out of 1t, were only one run behind,
 In spite of all this cracking of sup port Mike Eberhard went right along pitching airtight ball and no hits were garnered off his delivery from the fifth to the ninth. What hap pened fin the nerve-racking ninth has already been chronicled.
 It was a hard luck defeat and the close of the game found Moley all peeved. He held Ump Lewis re- sponsible for the loss of the game, as that worthy had booted what should have been the first out In the ninth. Following the game Moley followed the umps over to the visit Ing dugout and some heated words were exchanged. A hundred or so fans gathered around in the hope of seeing a fight, but the officers swooped down on the gathering and broke 1t up.
 The Moleys and Travellers will meet in doubleheader this after noon as bargain day treat for the ladies.
 An effort Is being made to revive the Chinese porcelain industry, which was at one period of great artistic value.
