CUBAN STARS TO
 PLAY SERIES AT. RICKWOOD FIELD
Black Barons To Open Five Game Series Here On
 Monday

The Black Barons open a five game series with the Cuban Stars at Rick wood park Monday afternoon. Harry Salmon will face Padrone,. the Stars pitching ace. in the first game. which will start at 330 o'clock.
 The Cuban Stars compose a sea soned and we'll balanced outfit. They have advantage over the locals in that they play the entire year round here in the summer and in Cuba in the winter. They have a great defen-, siVe team from their long play to- gether and are ranking third in the Negro National league at present.
 Although the Stars have a rather light hitting bunch, there are two or three good hitters on the club. Cam pos. lead-off man and left fielder, Is a good hitter and is fast on the bases. Sierra, at second. is also a good hit ter, while Dreke, in center field, is the only slugger on the team. In Rigals, a short, the Cuban team has a man who is said to be able to cover more ground than any player in the Negro National league. but he is a light hitter
 The Barons will be much strength ened by the time they go into the field against the Cubans. They have had three-day layoff to get into shape and will be in good shape for the game. Geechie, star shortstop,
 
 spiked leg, win be in good trim for the game and is expected to play his usual flashy brand of ball.
 A new catcher will probably be in the lineup. Joe Bush has obtained McGhee, a good backstop. but if he cannot get here in time he will use Hewitt. Both are dependanbel receiv- CTS and will strength an important place on the local nine. Stratton, the new third baseman. has been show inf up well and fills up place that was weak. In the outfield the Black Barons have new man, Jones, in right, who is playing good ball.
 The man who will most help the Black Barons, though, probably is Bert Daniels, the new pitcher. Daniels has a world of stuff and knows how to use it. He did some real pitching in the two games in which he per formed here.
 A large crowd is expected out to see the two teams play Monday and one of the best games of the season is expected

Giants Only Have Three 300 Per Cent HitterS, Despite Fact That They Are Leading League - Williams Again Leads In Home Runs

Although New York is leading in the National league and is generally picked as pennant winners the Giants have only three 300 hitters among the regulars. Adding Stengel, who is mostly used in utility role, and they have four. Youngs and Frisch are pretty well up among the hitters, but Bancroft, next Tn line, can only boast of a mark of 300.
 In Young and Frisch. however. Me Graw has two of the best run getters in the league, the former leading with 112 which Frisch is only eleven be- hind. having gone over the century this week.
 Il is true that a fifth might be ad- ded for the Giants in Pitcher Bent ley who leads the league with .397, but he has only been at bat 75 times and consequently cannot be counted.
 Hornsby of St. Louis is still leading the regulars, but it is getting uncom- fortably close for Rogers with Wheat of Brooklyn returned to the game, who is right on his heels. Hornsby has fallen down rapidly but Bottom ley, his team mate, has been hitting consistently and with a purpose. Roush of Cincinnati, out at present, is still near the top, as is Fournier of Brooklyn.
 MdA carey SlaTllHS StOWlys fIdS been getting up steam and has not only tied Grantham of Chicago in stolen bases but has accumulated 1O4 runs, which gives some indication of his industry. in passing it might be pointed out that McGraw's useful pair, Young and Frisch, have been in 132 games, or every one played, these two alone figuring in as many.
 Home runs have not been plentiful. Williams added one more to his 33, taking lead. Hornsby has added one to his total and now has Is, while Fournier is second in the league with eighteen.
 The changes in team play have been unimportant, Pittsburg leading in hit ting and New York in fielding. Chi cago has gone to third place in bat ting.
 Luque of Cincinnati, Ryan of New York. Adams of Pittsburg and Alex ander of Chicago remain the leading pitchers. Aldridge of Chicago has also hunched his percentage, as has Stuart of St. Louis.

Firpo Continues
 HeaUy Wok In Training For Bou

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Sept. S. (By Associated Press. )-Luis Angel Firpo contiued his heavy edge grinding today in preparation for his fight with Jack Dempsey in New York, September 14.
 Inc South American. in six rounds of spawing in the afternoon appeared both good and poor in spots, He went two rounds with John Lester John- ston for starter and showed to better advantage today than in ses- sion of two rounds he boxed with the negro heavyweight yesterday.
 Young Bob Fitzsimmons stepped two rounds with the South American champion and while Firpo showed well in punching, he made several awkard get aways" crossing his legs and throwing himself off bal anoe He outhit Fitzzsimmons, nat urally, but was, in turn, outboXed A two-round engagement with Joe McCann was merely a game of give and take.
 Answering some of the critics who, after watching the workouts, ven- would dispose of Firpo in less than six rounds, The South American handlers declared that Firpo in train- ing and Firpo fighting Dempsey would be like Firpo playing tiddiy winlSs and Firpo throwing boulders.
 The Argentinian evidently does not intend to attempt matching Demp- seys boxing skill. His chances to win the title lie in his fighting ability, they sa wand he isn't going to try any fancy stuff. His battle plan will probably be to carry shocking attack to the titlehold- CT in the beginning of the fight. The right hand will be relied upon to win the title, but the left will be held ready to advance at weak points
 The argentinian, his trainers say, will be in superb condition for the fight and will be capable of ab- sorbing a great deal of punishment If necessary. His leg development is especially good. his Jaw like steel and his body like a great shock ab- sorber
