HEILMANN STILL
 IN BAT SLUMP
Many American Loop Bat ters Surging Toward
 Front Ranks

There was a slight shakeup among the. leading hitters in the American League during the past week, which did not affect the front runners as much as those on the fringe of batting re- spectability.
 Heilmann of Detroit is still sliding and has been passed by bunch of waliopers. McNulty of Cleveland, who figured as a prime hitter a few days ago has hit the toboggan with even greater speed than the Tiger. Robert son of St. Louis close to the top, has been going downwards at terrific rate.
 Robertsons team mate Williams seems to have gotten a new grip on the ash md is edging upwards fairly con sistent. Goslin of Washington is an other one who has made an advance. ,Archdeacon of Chicago, at present out of the game, holds technical lead over the rest but Jamieson of Cleveland should be considered the actual pace maker for the flock. Next to him comes Cobb of Detroit, Boone of Bos- ton and Ruth of New York.
 Eddie Collins of Chicago and Ken meth Williams speeded up on the bases during the week, the former nov hay ing Is and the latter IA stolen bases. Cobbis edging up on Ruth in total runs, the champions tally chaser being only three in the lead at present.
 Walter-John of Washington, and Hollis Thurston of Chicago. are the outstanding figures among the pitchers, each having won ten apiece.

AMERICAN POLO
 TEAM IS VICTOR

ST. CLOUD, France, June 2S.-(By Associated Press.-The United States Olympic polo team today defeated the French team 13 to 1 in the opening match of the Olympic competition.
 The French team was completely outclassed. The American ponies were superior to the Frnch mounts, as were the riders, and the French were out speeded and out maneuvered.
 Thomas Hitchcock, the American number 2, although his name did not appear on the scoring list as often as that of Elmer J. poeseke, number 1, took the eye of the critics as the best on the American team, but each of the American players out played his par ticular opponent.

BOXING FANS EAGER
 FOR FIGHT RENEWAL
Finley And Moore In Great Shape For Bout On
 Monday Night

Birmingham box fight fans, after be- ing given starvation rations for two monthg will see daylight again Mon day night. Sixty days of ring idleness at the, BifminRham Athletic club finds the bugs ready. to- founder" themselves l in the. 30rtoaznd sport menu which will be. offered the club Monday night.
 Brisk selling In the advance ticket sale would indicate that the fans would ravenOusly pick up where they left off two months ago and that full house would welcome the gladiators from Cleveland as the show gets going.
 Of course the main interest centers in the main fight which will be staged by the.E everSpopular Jimmy Finley and the rugged Joe Moore of McKees- port Pa. These two welter lads will mix it for ten rounds, in what prom ises to be one, of he most hectic scraps ever served up locally. Finley has appeared before local bugs a num- Der of tinges, and any time he puts on the gloves and gets in the ring the fans are always assured of plenty of action.
 He. arrived in Birmingham Saturday afternoon, took a gruelling workout at the club and announced later that the well-known fiddle had not a thing on him when it came to fitness. Jimmy is a friend of Jack BOdine's and is a guest of Jack at his home at ROebuck while he is in the city. He stated Saturday afternoon that the weekend workout wound up his training and that the Sabbath would be day of rest for him.
 Joe Moore, the Pennsylvania Pum- meier, is not scheduled to arrive in the Magic City until this afternoon. Moore has won considerable prestige in Bir- mihgham, even though he has never ap- peared here before, and he will have considerable backing when he steps into the ring Monday night, Joe gained his folloRihg by virtue of the fact that he wallOpings recently. As a matter of

 The main bout will be preceded by two six-round semi-windups, four round go and a ten-rOund wrestling en- counter. Eddie McGinty, brother of Johnny, is scheduled to make his debut before the Jones Valley fans. He has elected to take on Bogie Saab for a half dozen rounds or less. Those who always support Johnny figure that the younger brother is made of the same stuff and that Bogie bids fair to meet his Water loo Monday night. r
 The other six-rOunder will be be- tween Tony Mareno and Red Burke. t5Vrke has been feeling happy ever since he handed a walloping to Young Battling Kelly here some months ago. He now feels that he has acquired a knockout punch and that he twill be able to, put Tony out of his misery be- fore the sixth round comes up. C.-
 Stevie SarrOn, appearing in a come back role, will take on Kid Lott for the fOur-round episode of the evening, and Parker Taylor will get iDfthe ring against the popular Tom Lacey in n ten-round mat encounter, which should prove way. above the average.
 Coach-Secretary Erwin stated Satur- day that the advance seat sale had been good throughout Friday and Saturday V and that the club officials were planning to entertain a large crowd Monday night.

STEWART UP AMONG {.
 HITTING LEADERS
Marriott Takes Good Lead In Base Stealing
 Hollingsworth Leads Pitchers

After long seige Lapan of Little Rock was tumbled out of the lead 7 among the leading hitters in the Southern Association during the week. Smith of Atlanta, who has been on his : trail for some time, grabbed the pace making honors although the margin ! between the two at present is not large.
 In the general rumpns near the top ID. Williams of Mobile came from be- low and became one of the pace makers. Burrus bettered his position but hold ing on to the average he had, which goes to show that some of the sluggers have been tanned by improved pitching. Paschal of Atlanta, close up for some time, has fallen below Carlysle of Memphis, but hit or two is likely to reverse the positions.
 Stewart High Up
 It is tight all the way. especially from the third position down. Stewart Q of Birmingham, Barber of Little Rock, Taylor of Memphis and Guyon of Little Rock are not far away, but Rhode of : Birmingham suffered relapse: A" Among the happenings out of the or dinary has been the base stepping per- formances of Marriott of Mobile. Add, ! ing three to his record he wound up the week with 27 pilfered sacks, which are , five more than Stewart of Birmingham can show.
 There was a hot race on between ssPaschal of Atlanta and Stewart of Rit- mingham for the most runs. Paschal has had it his own way for some time, but the Birmingham second sacker stepped up alongside the fly chaser and the two are now tied, but Murray of Nashville passed both.
 Atlanta Leads .,
 Atlanta has not suffered in hits dur ing the week and leads the others by a comfortable margin. New Orleans keeps it's place at the top of the column in fielding. There have been some slumps among other contenders and im- provements among a few.
 Hollingsworth of New Orleans has brought his winning mark in games up < to 16 among the pitchers. There has been lot of flashy performances on the mound during the week. Karr of Atlanta and Lindstrom of Nashville have each won,12 and lost 4. Mitchell of Memphis has won 13 but lost 5.

 ATLANTA, Ga, June Special ! The Crackers and Barons divided hon. ors in 8 bargain day bill at Epiller's ball orchard Saturday before the watchful eyes of soEae z. 800 cash cuat6mera. The Crackers seundly thnmped the visitors i 9 to 5 ihS ahe first cQiitest, while the locals were blanked for the first time this seasOnsen the. short second affair by too count. s,A ] !. In the first game, both squads accom- plished most of their scoring in the first two innings, with the Crackers having an advantage of two runs. Later in the contest two more were added to the locals total to put the contest away in the win column. Moore Gets Air
 Roy Moore, who once upon "a time wore the livery of the Barons but now dons 6, Cracker uniform, was Boss Me hOffs selection for mound duty against the visitors and didn't last very, long. A walk and -four hits by the first five men to face shim, sent Moore to the showers early in the contest. 4:

 NiShOff Stars,
 NiehOff who was the center of fOt of criticism on Thursdays game. was the idol of the tickle baseball public in Saturdays contest. Bertram crashed out three hits out of five trips to the plate, one of which was "a home run to the left field fence in the second in- ming sending two runners across the plate ahead of him. It was one of the hardest hits seen on the Spiller's field this year.
 Sharing, hOnOrs in the first game was Benjamin PaschaE, who hit safely three times out of four trips to the rubber.
 Olsen Ineffective
 Olsen, who worked for the Barons wasn't effective against the locals slugging and was really the cause of the victory.
 The second contest was a. pitchers battle between Benjamin Karr and Rufus Clarke, with the latter having somewhat the better of the argument.
 Clarke allowed the locals a total of three singles during the seven innings, and always managed to pull out of what looked to be some mighty tough places. He failed to walk q single man and only 24 batters faced him during the short affair.
 KAFr Does We'll
 Bennie Karr pitched some mighty good baseball, but double and a sin gle following was his downfall, for it was enough to put over the one counter needed to win.
 Herbert Brenner crashed out the dou- ble and scored on Rhodes single for the Baron's only counter.
 The Crackers will enjoy an. off day Sunday, but will leave Sunday night for Birmingham to start three game series with the Barons.
