HUHN CROWDING RICHBOURG, RECORD FOR BATTING LEAD
 IN SOUTHERN LOOP WITH 367
Roy Moore Moves Up Into Prominent Place Among Pitchers By Winning Seven And Losing One Game

Hum of Mobile is beginning to crowd the record of the incapaci- tated Richbcurg for batting honors in the Southern association. The Mobile slugger has elevated his per centage this week to .367. Huhn is Nashville being his nearest competi- tor among the regulars but he is far and way below. So are R. Will Hams of Mobile, Herman and Pad gett of Memphis and Leonard of Chattanooga.
 These same players figured among the leaders last week and the changes have consequently been few all along the line. Hawks of Nash vile. who started in slugging the ball the minute he appeared in the south, is continuing his rampage The former Saint has & percentage of 382 but as he has only figured in 35 games he is not entitled to leadership.
 Home runs were not plentiful among the leaders. D. Clark of At Bernsen of Nashville and Herman of Atlanta are the only others who have gone into double figures.
 The race on the bases is still hot, Cuyler of Nashville. by some tall sprinting, has succeeded in keep ing out of the way of Neun of Bir- mingham, but only three pilfered sacks separate the pair.
 The change in team standings in batting and fielding have not been important. Nashville and New Or leans lead in their respective depart ments of batting and fielding.
 Mooro of Birmingham has pushed himself to prominent position among the pitchers with seven won and one lost. The real lead is dis puted by Whitaker of New Orleans and McQuillan of Nashville and Long of Mobile

 Postponement Of All Matches

y Persistent rain Saturday afternoon made play in the finals of the Cot ton States tennis tournament at the Country club impossible. The sin gles and doubles matches which were scheduled for Saturday will be played Sunday, provided the courts are dry. enough.

 Esmond Phelps of New Orleans meets Lee Allen Brooks of Brming ham in the singles match, and 1t should be one of the best exhibitions of tennis playing seen in Birming ham in years. Phelps won a great victory over. Harry Hallman of At lsnta, holder of the title, in the semi finals Friday afternoon, while Lee Allen Brooks defeated Allen Huggens of New Orleans in straight sets.
 The doubles finals will be played Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Tn the doubles the great New Orleans team of Phelps and Huggens will meet Hallman of Atlanta and Rush Hess of Birmingham. The Hallman- Hess victory in the semi ifinals over the Birmingham team of Brooks and Bartlett was easily the feature of the tournament.
 With such tennis playing being done in the semi-finals, an overflow crowd is expected to be out Sunday for the finals If the courts will not permit play Sunday the matches will be played off Monday.

Big Athletic BiU For The Magic City Is Ruined By Showers

Rain Saturday that came in inter- mittent showers in alternate sprink- lings and downpours but mainly In torrents, broke into one of the heaVi- est sport bills of the season in the Magic City. One of the most varied programs ever to be planned for Hir- mingham was on tap but the per sistent rainfall and threatening skies wrecked the plans.
 Birmingham first big polo match, to be staged between the Sixth caval- ry of Camp Mcclellan and the Bir- mingham Polo association team was one of the events that went under with the showers. The finals in the Cotton States tennis tournament at the Country club, which has waxed hot up to the climax, which was to have been Saturday, were postponed when the water floQded the courts.
 The l2 teams of the City league remained idle Saturday afternoon while the rain fell. At Redwood the Black Barons and the Milwauk ee Giants, who have been waging a hot battle during the present series and stand one and one on the first two games. saw their chances of playing off the tie, go glimmering.
 However, the one event that with stood all the downpour and fitted the occasion nicely, was the southeastern swimming championship at East Lake. The meet went through as sch edu1pd

POLO GAME TO BE
 PL A YED AT 3:3O SUNDAY EVENING
Rain Saturday Makes Play Impossible On Roberts
 Field

Blrmingham's first polo game fail- ed to materalize Saturday afternoon as showers until late in the after noon poured over the Magic City. The match, which has created a lot of interest here, will be played Sun day afternoon at Roberts field, how , ever. The starting time was set at 3:S0 o'clock.
 The Camp Mcclellan ponies have been in the city since Friday anl have had complete rest after their trip. They will be in good condition for the fray Sunday afternoon.
 The advanced sale of tickets in- dicated that the crowd would run we'll up into the thousands but with clear weather Sunday afternoon this number should be increased about half again. Local hotel men say that room reservations indicate a state wide interest in the match seldom shown In an athletic event. Many reservations were made at the local hotels by out-of-town fans who canfe to the Magic City Saturday to see the match. In addition to these fans there will be hundreds of others who could not have seen the game Sat- urday that will witness the Sunday match.
 The field is located near Ensley on the Tidewater car line and Is easily reached in autos by going out Eighth avenue, which runs by the field. The rains Saturday did not hurt the field and with warm sun shine 1t will be in excellent condi- tion. The short grass, when wet is too slick for the ponies to stand on, but the Roberts field Is firm and should not be mtddy for the game Sunday afternoon.
 The team that will participate in the game this afternoon are com posed of some of the best players in t, army circles. On the local team there are several men who are out standing in American polo and who are expected to make good show ing for the locals. Although this Is their first game 1t Is expected that with the added strength of two stars, Major Estes and Lieutenant French, who came from Camp Mcclellan to play with the locals, that the Br- mingham team will be able to give the cavalry quarter all that they are looking for.
 The Bromberg Jewelry company has offered beautiful silver loving cup for the winner of the match Sat urday. The cup will be presented to the captain of the winning team.
 Brigadier General Winans or Col onel Fleming will officiate as ref cree, while Karl Landgrebe will LHlOW lu6 lIlS bdIl anu SGlNG do honorary referee. Saxes Crawford has been appointel official timekeeper and Col. Walter E. Bare as official scorer

BEATS MARATHON GOLF RECORD AND WORKS NEXT DAY
kick AIfaro Makes 290- Hole Nonstop Round In
 San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 2S.-Nick Alfaro, 21year-old golfer, who com pleted a worlds Marathon on the Breckenridge park municipal links of 290 consecutive holes last night after 19 hours and 10 minutes of play, will be back at work today for the wholesale drug company, where he is employed as clerk, none the worse off for his gruelling exploit.
 Morris not only walked approxi- mately 72 miles in his days play, but the most astonishing feature of hls playing was that he got in the nine ties only twice, remaining in the eighties consistently.
 Morris is small and iron muscled. He trained for his previous SN Marathon over the same course June 21 last, a record of 23S consecutive holes by gang walks, 1aunts of 30 and 70 and even 50 miles under summer Jln. He always walks about the Course, rever breaking into a jog or B run His caddies during play are forced to run to keep up with him.
 In his 29o holes of play yesterday beginning under q full moon at 12:40 a. m., Morris lost only five balls, and all of them were found after day light.
 In his play Morris shot 90 times across the San Antonio river a swift running stream through the course and dangerous water hazard. In all, 15 shots were made across a wide trap in which canals on the fairway were more than 200 yards. Every hole on the course has large trees at one or both sides, while aitches and bushes add to the artifi- cial hazards of traps and bunkers along the entire 6,200 yards.
 Morris only difficulty during his play came from an injured knee, which he nursed after the fifteenth round and which cramped his swing somewhat. He said last night he was through with Marathon golf and does not care to compete against one who may surpass his record.
