permanent, or will they lose out again and sink for the third and final timcs
 First division has been strange territory for the Barons this season. From the first the team that Joe Dunn started out sank to the second division, and only day or so ago was it able to see the first division. It's stay in classic company was short. and day later the men of Stew art went back to fifth place. But this morning finds them on the rise again, and maybe this time it is for keeps.
 It seems to Magic City fnndOm -or that portion of the fan flock which saw the Travellers in ac- ton MOndny-that the time fs ripe for Stuffy Stewards pas- timcrs to strengthen their hold on their place in the standing. The Pebbles seem pitifulIy weak now. even weaker than nt any time during the season, md the Barons are nt their best. The result should he. naturally, three or four victories from Little Rock, and tighter hold on fourth place, If not rise to third.
 STUFFY STEWART BACK
 Stuffy Stewart is back in the lineup, and the last visible ef- feet of that riot in Chattanooga is fading away. Lucky for the Barons the temporary loss of Manager Stuffy didn't prove costly. but had the team been in the thick of a hard series, lack of Stewards leadership and base running ability might have proven the factor to beat the Barons out.
 The peppery young pilot is back in the lineup, and the eff feet could be noted even on the first day of his return, when the Barons played an unusually snappy brand of baseball. Stuffy can't do much himself yet, for his injured right hand hampers both his hitting and throwing, but the fact that he's out there with the boys and directing the attack should go a long way to- words helping the team main- tain it's hold in the first division.
 The Argentine scores again. And this time there can he no doubt about the f1ukiness of the victory. When Enrique Tira- bocchi swam the English channel in something over 18 hours, he turned the trick in several hours less time than the best previous record. It was no brute strength and blind luck that won for En- riauc; it was cold, calculating, scientific swimming, something new in the aquatic world.
 Missing among the Travellers one finds the names of Rube Robinson. Tommy McMillan and Sammy Mayer. The veterans are gone, and Kid Elberfeld had a batch of youngsters to offer fam dom in their places.
 Perhaps the Kid is right after all. The Travellers are hope lessly out of it this season, and the building process for the next time out can never be begun too early.

British Capture Cup From Yankees In Race

CONES, Isle of Wight, August 13 (By Associated ess.)-Great Brit ian today recaptured the British America cup for siX-metre yachts when Ceile III. owned by F. J.

This brought the British point total to 96 as against the Americans AS, thus making it impossible for the invaders to win even if they scored the maximum number of points in the final two heats.

 Tom Berry the man who trounced Battling Siki-black leopard of the Senegalese jun gles-will be Capt. Bob, Roper's foe in the 10-round de-N decision boxing match that's pending for the Birmingham Athletic club next Monday night, August 20. Announcement of the virtual closing of the bout be- tween the two well-known heavyweights was made yester- day afternoon by Dave Evans, matchmaker for the B. A. C..
 Berry, Cincinnati mauler, while on tour of England in 1922. met Battling Siki in 15- round bout, and he defeated the come light heavyweight cham pion of the world by a comfort able margin.

 the Magic City boxing world is watching the outcome of the af- fair with interest, not to say anxiety.
 It will mean much for the ring game in Birmingham if the B. A. ca bona fide atheltic club is able to bring the big boys from up east to the Magic City and stage genuine boxing matches here. The Roper-Berry bout is an experiment, and upon boxing-the sport with the uni versal appeal-in Birmingham.
 Matchmaker Dave Evans was forced to use all his persuasive powers to make Roper agree to box in Birmingham, for the Magic City Is not regarded very highly in national fistic circles IS a fight town.
 It was because of such con dition, and a desire to better the situatiOn-bOth from the stand point of the fans and the game that Evans made concessions to Roper to persuade the "FightinE Captain of the A. E. F." to sign for the bout next Monday night.
 For one thing. if Roper makes good in his initial bout here. Evans must hunt up a good man for an opponent, and put across a return bout for Captain Bob that will let him in on some of the gravy.
 BARONS RISING AGAIN
 When a drowning man goes down the third time, he stays down. The Barons have gone down into the depths of the sec ond division twice, and now they have arisen to the surface once more. If they go down the third time, it probably will mean the finish for them, and a second division berth at the close of the season.
 This morning finds the BarOns of Stewart in fourth place. by the grace of few more points in percentage than the Vols. Will their rise to the surface he
