Use Manure Economically
to Get Largest Returns

Best evidence indicates that manure
gives largest returns to the ton when
applied thin once In each short rota-
ton, or twice in rotation of more
than five years. Eight to ten tons to
the acre in three or four-year rota-
tion, used with an average of 200
pounds Of acid phosphate 10 the acre
each year, give excellent returns. A
manure spreader is said to be a time
and labor saver, particularly in making
light applications, and it tears up the
manure so it is mixed more uniformly
with the soil.

FIVE AMERICANS
READY TO RESUME
BATTLE AT TROON

TROON. Scotland. June 13.-(By
Associated Press. )-On the wind
swept links of Troon, IS of the
worlds premier golfers. among the
qualified in the preliminary, will
strike off tomorrow in the 72-holc
struggle for the British open cham
pionship. To complete half of their
journey toward the goal on the first
day, the players will be swinging
until the same hour at night. On
Friday another grind of similar ex-
tent will bring the competition to
a close.
Edward Ray, one Of the finest
figures in the long history of the
game. will be the first off the tee
tomorrow, going out with his part
ner, James Macdonald of Prestwick.
James Braid. another old timer, and
perennial. participant in champion
ships. will be the last to return to
the club house. driving off his sec
ond round at $50 in the afternoon.
Leo Diegel will be the first Amer
lean away. He will be followed at
intervals by John Farrell, Walter
Hagen, George Aulbach, and Mac
Donald Smith.
Despite his disappointing play in
the qualifying round and his mar
row escape from the lot of those who
tried and failed, Walter Hagen. who
holds the British title, Is still one
Of the favorites. When he seemed
almost certain to collapse in the
storm of Tuesday and thus eliminate
himself, he suddenly pulled himself
together and finished strongly. Many
think that his experience in the quail
flying rounds has purged his sys-
TEN of whatever bad golf it con-
tanned, and from now on he will play
steadily and we'll.
Macdonald Smith had almost as
many warm admirers as Hagen, but
he is not so we'll known. His work
throughout has been consistent and
sometimes well beyond the stand
ard.
Today some of those who entered
the championships spent their time

BARONS TO OPEN
WITH CHICKS in
A 3-GAME SERIES
Cox Will Probably Pitch Open
ing Game For Stuffy's
Clan

The rejuvenated Barons will meet
a little stronger opposition Thursday
when they run across the path of the
Memphis Chicks at lockwood. Just
fresh from an engagement with the
Little Rock Travellers, in which they
handed the clan of Elberfield three
lickings out of four times. they Will
meet the team just above them in the
league st\1ding Thursday afternoon
in the firsc of a three game series.
Under the management of Stuffy
Stewart the Barons are playing like
a new team. They have been show
ing the pep on the field and running
the bases like demons. 1t has stirred
the fans up, and with new conf
dence in the locals they are turning
out in increasingly larger numbers
and roofing for the Stewart clan.
The series which will open Thurs
day afternoon will be rather an i'm
portant one. The Barons are about
two or three games behind the Chicks
and can overtake them in the pres
ent series. If they manage to take
two out of the three they will be IN
good shape to turn the Chicks down
while if they take the whole three
they will be we'll in sixth place. This
series s expected to mark the start
of the climb that the Barons are sure
to make from now on and with the
present style of play they should pc
around the top in a short while.
Just who Stuffy will send into the
box is doubtful, but it is probable
that Plateau Cox will draw the
assignment.
1t is not known who the Chicks
will start The Memphis team has
been breaking about even in their
last few games, and have. split a
series with Atlanta this week. They
will meet a much harder playlns
team when they reach the Magic CITY
for the series this week than they
did earlier in the year.

ELABORATE PLANS
FOR B. A. C.'S STAG
NEXT WEDNESDAY

Elaborate plans are being consum-
ated for the big stag program which
is to be staged at the Birmingham
Athletic club next Wednesday night
in honor of the new members that
have been taken into the organiza-
ton during the expansion campaign
which is now on. The club officials
started out to boost the membership
to the 700 mark, and President Her
bert l.. Cobbs announced Wednesday
that the success of the drive was
now practically assured. The enter
tanners who have been booked to sup
ply the fun and frolic for the Dig
stag probably will entertain about
efan membership will be on hand for
the fun.
Some Knockout vaudeville stuff is
being cooked up for the amusement
of the members and some knock
ring stuff as we'll. Mr.. Roberts
stated that, while the B. a. G. had
staged many stays in its history
the Wednesday night performance
would probably eclipse anything ever
ATTEMPTED before. .
In connection with the drive which
is going over in such great shape,
Secretary Roberts announces that
things are being popped up in the
proposed "Barnyard Golf tourney,
and that many members at the cIup
have signified their eagerness to en-
ter the competition. The vacant lot
next to the Tutwiler hotel on the
Fifth avenue side has been granted
to the club as a course for the horse
shoe championships. and details OF
the tourney are being worked out
| A date is to be announced at an
early date. it being thought best TO
90
golf tourney at Roebuck over and
out of the way before interest began
to center on the barnyard golf tour
ney.
Mr.. Roberts laid special stress on
the fact Wednesday that junior and
intermediate members would be wei
coined to the Wednesday night stag
| a. u,all aS adult members.
