IS HIGH MAN M WEEKLY GUN CLUB SHOOT

Twenty-si shooters took part in the practice shoot of the Birmingham Gun club Saturday afternoon, and several matches were hotly contested. The 50 targets was won by John Fletcher, who broke the entire 50. J. P. Dovel came second with 4S, while H. c. Rydfng and Carl tied for third place with 57 each.

Strader, with 95 dead birds. Third place was a tie betwe+sn Dr. Prince and pr. Nabers, who broke 94 each. George A. Sawyer, chief United States game warden, visited the club, a guest of Ted Cottrell.

TANK NET STARS SWEEP THROUGH
 WIMBLEDON PLAY

WIMBLEDON, England, June 3D. Another tennis tilt between two fem mine rivals with an ancient feud seemed Saturday night to over shadow the masculine strife with racquets in the allEngland cham pionships,
 Playing better tennis than she has hitherto on her 1923 crusade across the Atlantic, Molla BJurstedt Nal lory volleyed and slashed her way game Lenglen that the scores In their recent matches have beeh sort of mistake.
 As both Molla and Suzanne are in the same half of the brackets, they will collide, if no minor star catches them playing absent minded tennis, before the finals.
 The entire American team fought it's way through the matches Satur- day without a single loss.
 William H. Johnston and Francis Hounter still remain in the mems singles play with only seven others.
 Miss Goss came through with a win and is aligned with Mrs Mallory to carry on for honors In the women's singles, though her chances are not considered as good as the cham pions.
 Molla Advances.
 Molla Mallory and Miss Goss ad- yanced In the women's play with Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, world cham pion.
 With Johnston and Hunter, L. Campbell, member of the Irish Davis cup team, Bic Norton, Max Woosnam, D. M. Evans, F. G. Lowe, Degomar and D. M. Creig are left.
 Campbell, who eliminated the 1s- year old Lacoste. Is scheduled to meet
 tp TDlo fG hat at in cold weather and the Britons are praying for chilly breezes. The star of the day in tho matter of favor from the crowd was Mile. Vlasto, of Graeco-Frencn extraction, beautiful and fragile, who. cooly Lenglen, her pretty little opponent 1t was Mile. Vlasto who drew the applause She was no match for Su- zanne but she displayed remarkable ability in volleying and showed great promise. Some of the experts now are talking of her as a possible suc- cessor to Lenglen in few years when she gets a little more expe- rience.
 Mrs. Mallory will meet Mrs Beam ish, the English star, on Monday and Miss Goss is to oppose Miss McKane
 Hunter won his way to the same standing as Johnston when he de-
  close score.

2 to 1.
 If those Barons can hold their own against the league leaders right now, there doesn't seem to be any reason in the world why they cant win the majority of their games from some of the other teams. and really become facttr in the ? nnant chase.
 Sunday will see the playing of another dOubIe-heBder between the Barons and Pelicnns. None is scheduled, but two rafned out games and one tied affair call for overtime battling. After their series at New Orleans is over, the Barons open with the Mobile Bruins at RicEwOOd Monday, playing five games In four days, with double header coming Wednesday,.
 It was the same lineup that faced the Pels Saturday as has been starting the games ever since Stuffy Stewart took charge. Whether any immediate changes will be made in the team or not Is problematical, but last night there was nothing to announce In the way of releases, traders or changes in the lineup.
 The Barons aren't playing bad baseball at all, and. with the ex- ception of the pitching depart ment, Manager Stewart could stand pat the remainder Cf the season and probably do as we'll as If changes were made.
 uoxvever Stuffv,s the hoax and if he sees n place where i'm provement might be made, then it's to his interest to make it known.
 Whatever conferences were held between Stuffy and his bosses down nt New Orleans seem to have brought results in a re- newed fighting spirit that has enabled the boys to hold those PeIs to an even break.
 July 4th will be gala day in Birmingham. With the Barons and Bears billed for a double header at Redwood, games all over the city on various diamonds, and a polo game thrown in to boot, the Magic City will have just about enough time left to step around to The Age-Herald in the after noon and hear how Dempsey and Gibbons are coming along, hot from the megaphone of com petent caller. who will slip the news along as fast as Associated Press wires can convey 1t from the ringside.
 As to that Dempsey-Gfbbons fight. and all doubts as to its conn ing off seem to have been re- moved, with n new management in chDrge, the final $1OO.OOO due Dempsey said to be on hand, and gate receipts of over $3OO,OOO be- ing predicted for the July 4th battle.
 Still waters run deep, they say. If that rule holds good in every thing, as in the world of brook lets and rivers, then somebody had better be on guard against misfortune, anent that recent Claude Wilson Jimmy Proto af- fair at the B. A. c.

CITY LEAGUE

Another strong team was dropped one notch lower Saturday afternoon in the City league when Sayreton beat the S1 Tire team, Il to 6. Sayreton upheld her no-loss record and has now won seven and lost none, the only City league team left scathless except the Boys club in class B. Southern Bell also pulled surprise on the fans by beating InglenoOk, to 3. Standard Oil had hard fight in a sluggins match with Woodward and won only in the tenth inning, 15 to 13.
 Bell held the 81 Tire team to seven hits while his teammates drove Hodge to the showers in the fifth inning and scored II runs, enough to win, Il to 6. Webb pitched good ball after relieving Hodge, but the game was too far gone. Parks, for Sayreton, got two-bagger and three singles out of four times up and Griffin, for the Tiremen, got

Barons Rank Second In Hit ting And Third In Fielding. s. Clarke Leads Baron Bat terS

Huhn of Mobile threatens to be the real leader in the Southern associa- ton among the batters. He Is not only in second place where he was last week, but he has improved his average from .347 to .3s6. As Rich bourgh is still out of the game the lead belongs to Huhn.
 The changes have been few among the leading hitters. Leonard of Chattanooga, R. Williams of Mobile, s. Clarke of Birmingham and Her man of Atlanta are practically in the same places as seven days ago.
 The real sensation has been Cueto of Mobile, who has hammered his way upwards by leaps and bounds. He Is not among the first five, but he Is pretty close.
 The race on the bases Is as keen as with the stick. Neun of Birmingham and Cuyler of Nashville had great sprinting match all week. Last week the two were tied for leading honors in offering. Now Noun has forged ahead leading the Nashville flash by two bases, having a total of 25.
 There has been a slight change among the home run hitters, long distance clouting seemingly not be- ing fashionable down south. There is some fierce competition for totals, however.
 There have been several changes In the team standings. but Nashville holds tho lead in batting and New Orleans in fielding, the same as last week.
 Chattanooga is last in both fielding and hitting, Little Rock having crawled up a notch in fielding.
 Among the leading pitchers Mo Quillan's record still is best despite the minor clean records. The Nash vile pitchers record stands at nine victories and three defeats. Whit takes of New Orleans also has pret- ty fair mark with II and 5.

GHOSTS OF THE PAST IN
 THE SMOKE CLOUDS SWIRL

He sat in the night, and his pipe
 glowed bright,
 As he dreamed of the yester-
 year;
 The eternal fame that stars of
 the game, On fandom's shield emblazened
 clear.
 In the smoke clouds swirl, the
 banners unfurl,
 As foes on the gridiron met; With thunderous pace, and thrill
 of the race,
 The ponies were galloping yet. His eyes in a glaze, his brain in
 daze,
 The great John l.. was felled. A champion slim was Gentleman
 Jim,
 But how that mob had yelled! A monarch was Phil, a king of
 the hill,
 Who twirled for the Giants that
 day.
 The title they took, when Phil's
 great hook
 Held best of the Tanks at bay. The scenes now shift, with times
 slow drift,
 And Phil Is no longer king. No series crowd Is cheering loud; No more his praises sing. Back home he plays, like other
 days,
 On fields he learned the fame. He's lost that speed, but what's
 the need
 When one Is lost to fame? He sat in the night, and his pipe
 glowed bright.
 As he dreamed of the Used
 To-Be.
 His heart was lead, and joy had
 fled,
 As ghosts of the past did flee. "Shufflin' Phil Douglas, who would have been an immortal fin basebnlPs hall of fame had he not incurred the wrath of the mighty, pitched for a little sand- lot tenn Saturday, and was beat en out by his foes, unlettered fin the game though they were. It somehow saddens one to witness the fall of monarch, and the nearer home the tragedy, the sad- der the blow.
  There's a bone in the throat of the Pelican this morning, and the ravenous bird Is looking around for assistance in turning a-loose that fish he thought to gulp down SC greedily.
 Instead of the nice, juicy lit- tie sardines the Pel expected to have laid out on Heinemann park for his consumption, whole school of garfish. or some sort of sticking pescado, seems to have entered the craw of the Crescent City bird.
 Stuffy Stewards boys are hold ing their own against those league leading Birds of Larry Gilbert, and the series down at New Orleans is proving one of the hardest fought of all time. The first game resulted in 4 to tie. after the Barons should have won it. The second finally went to the Pels, to 0, due to a couple of errors by the Barons. The third game was taken Tn by a wide margin by the Stewards,
