Del Lundgreen finally did it. the first Baron win since July 30! In justice it must be admitted that the Stewart hirelings dropped half a dozen one run, hair line decisions during this streak. Anyway, they began what may mean a climb past the Lookouts by beating the latter ,4-3. Lefty Greene, the Dodger farm hand under Elberfeld's direction, turned in four hit shutout against the Pels yesterday. This would have been more impressive against any other team in the wheel, for the Birds are Host in the land of Egypt" against a forksider; but a four hit shutout isn't to be despised against anyone-not at all. Benny Karr's skin was saved when the Att lantans rammed over one run in the eighth to eke out 5-5 eight frame tie against Memphis, rain stopping the battle.

However, it must be granted that ivory hunters aren't going to mob the gates here. The pickings elsewhere are too fat. For instance over in Memphis, with the Chickasaws as far ahead as the Giants in the National, nearly every game is witnessed by several repre- sentatives from the majors. Roy "Diz- zy" Carlyle, Oglethrope star, is the prize plum of the league leading lot and he has already been grabbed by the Senators. It certainly isn't risking any reputation to prophecy success at the crest of the baseball world for this young man. Bobby Lamotte is another much sought youth, while Carr Smith is out on option from Washington, to whom Monroe Mitchell is also slated to return. It is possible that Slim M'Grew will get another chance, though Dan- gerous Dan appears to lack an essen tial something.

100 PERSONS DIE
 IN INDIAN FLOOD

MADRAS, British India, Aug. G. The floods in Southern India, which, according to previous dispatches, sub merged half the state of Cochin, caused at least 100 deaths at Afalabar, accord ing to official report. The loss of life elsewhere was comparatively small. It is estimated that 50,OO0 persons are homeless while thousands of acres of crops have been ruined.

In the National league the progress of the Pirates, who were beginning to make threatening gestures at the Giants, was arrested by the Dodgers who whip ped the Pittsburg club, 5 to 8, with Dazzy Vance in the conquering role. Vance has won IS games. He gave only four hits. The Giants beat the Cubs again at the Polo grounds, 5 to 2, and the Chicago club, after fighting along in second place most of the season, now has slumped very close to fourth. The Reds won a five-inning game from the Phils in Philadelphia, 8 to 2. Rain caused the abbreviation. The Braves beat the Cardinals in Boston, to 8. This was the Braves first victory in ten games.

That about summarizes the Mem phians who can aspire higher. The Pels will very likely rate next in major sales. Already Johnny Hol- lingsworth has become the chattel of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Fred Jackson of the Indians. It isn't a guess improbable as first thought would indicate that Buzzer Bill Whitaker and his Hub Perdue shirt could win in the majors, but he's so withered and sore that mo- body will take a chance on him, in all probability. Ollie Dan Tucker, Shove Hodge and Frank Dutch" Henry, all with other major trials behind lem, might get another trial.

Our nominee for the best Southern League hurling prospect is Benny Karr, past grand wizard and imperial hypno- tiger of the Cracker staff. Benjamin has never been given a thorough inspec- tion on his other trips up. We'd bet a goodly sum that the grade isn't too stiff for him; and there's a chance that he'll get it this time. Ben Paschal is a sure thing for another whirl at the fast go- ing. He is another with every chance in the world to make good. Along with Carlyle and Denny Williams, he would not only form the best outfield in the league, but also very likely shape up as the ikeliest trio for advancement.

my this and Mary that, but if any other engagements were definitely sealed, as Captain Rand suspects, the announcements will be deferred:
 The athletes worked themselves into fearful stew over the delay caused by the customs inspeetrs who insisted on going through their baggage with the usual precise care and refused to skimp the job or accord them immunity as the athletic ambassadors of the nation. Charles A. Dean of Chicago, manager of the track and field teams, protested, but nobody heard him and he left the pier in the frame of mind that provokes letters to the editor be- ginning, T wish to call attention to an outrage" and winding up, 'ssuch stu pidity should not be tolerated"

Incidentally, Babe Ruth bruised one of Whitehill's deliveries for a home run in the Detroit game. This was his thirty-sixth for the season and he is no wslugging away with a lively ann bition to excel his great record of 59 homers, made in 1921. Ruth is only three homers behind the pace he set three seasons ago.

Slidin : In

ANE of the high spots of an, il VI other respects, rather inspipis baseball season, has efi;. tn of the Southern Leaguei character as prolific hunting ground for major scouts. Young material of thu calibre adequate to big tent standardi has always been abundant in Dixie; anC the present season is no exception.
 Here in Birmingham there is lit- tie doubt that several Examinations are hid under bushels of desperate ly poor play. Bobby Rhode, slim little first sacker, is the first name on the lips when prospects are dis cnssed. The young Bachelor of Arts from Michigan is rather frail for the every day strain of the big top grind, but he will, eventually get the necessary stamina and thereby rid himself of those slnmps that have occasionally played such havoc with his record Sep Good despite his crudeness and need of instruction, has plenty of chance to attend the heights before his career is done, while, as has just been announced, several A clubs think right now that Stewart and Hartford could help them ma terially.
