BARONS AND ATLANTA !.
 TIE FOR STICK LEAD
John Anderson's Hitting Feature Of Week
 a Work In SouthernLo {

The heavy clouting of J. Anderson of Chattanooga liyened up the Southern association race during the past week. Homeruns having to be earned in the southern circuit, the crack outfielder must have swung heavy bludgeon dur ing the week to get three for the cir cult, which gives him a total of 10.
 Paschal of Atlanta, seems to be the only rival to Anderson, but he is still three behind, having been able to get only one for total of twelve. The other long distance hitters have been more or less quiescent.
 No one has been able to jar Smith of Atlanta loose from the top in ,all-around hitting He receded slightly in per centage for time, but is still an easy first. Lapan, who set the pace, most of the season, has fallen to fifth. Car lyle of Memphis has preempted second place by. steadily gaining on his rivals. Paschal of Atlanta has again become more prominent even though he has :. lost few points. Burrus, his team mate, has also become a a,contendef. -. Tightening Up

DOBERT c. ALLEN, whose title is president, when his name is
 linked. with the Little Rock, Ark, baseball rabble, will be in Montgomery on Monday, so dispatches say, to con- fer on certain transfers of baseball contests between his own collection of misfit athletes and the seven baseball teams of the SOuthren league. MT. Allen alleges that the team's home town does not give it fitting welcome upon it's return from it's varied wanderings and to show his displeasure of the lack of cordiAiity he will take his hirelings from among them.

THREE MATCHES
 AT RIFLE CLUB
Smith, Hagenbarth And Shif-
 lett Win In Local Shoot

The Magic City Rifle and Pistol club shot three interesting maches during the past week. The gallery match Friday night went to l.. R. Shiflett, Jr., the outdoor pistol match to F. Hegenbarth and the 50-target rifle match went to W. D. Smith, .Jr. The outdoor shoot ing was characterized by the great im- provement of several members, especial g c. M Higgins, who turned in a 95 ]. c. Weldon and J. T. Moser also made excellent scores, while o. D. Brown, shooting with the club for the first time, showed that he has the makings of an excellent pistol shot.
 The outdoor range will be open on Saturday afternoon during the sunmer from to 6 o'clock, while the gallery, located in the National guard armory, will be open on Friday nights, giving rifle men and pistol shooters the oppOr- tunity to fire their scores at the time most convenient. Several team matches for teams shooting the rifle and the pistol are being arranged by the club, which will prove interesting to all the shooters. Details of these team matches have not been made public, but will be announced later.
 The scores of the shoots follow:

star by any means, who was turned loose in Mir. Allen retrenchment pro- ceedings.
 Furthermore his antics Nave not extended over the brief period of the present season but last year fans will recall similar deals. There was Rube Robinson, who was loaned to New Orleans to finish tho season on. Such baseball does not create much enthusiasm in the home town nor friendly feeling around the circuit. The poisoned darts of many a scribe's ben has been directed at MT. Allen and the :. Little Rock system during the past year or so. There was created much kick about favOritism in sell ing Barber to Memphis with that team leading instead of selling him to weaker team-Birmingham tried to get deal out of Allen for Barber.
 So now, Mir. Allen is in hot water. Little Rock fans refuse to support a team run by such methods and the 150 or 200 people who visit the park oc- casionally probably have not other place to go or else stray in by acci- dent.
 The franchise is for sale. Yes, Mir. Allen, is willing to sell his entire holdings, the whole lot, gen. tlemen, for the nominal sum of $1OO,OOO,-a mere trifle. Consider the uniforms, there is a round dozen or more of them and have no holes in them, all have been < stopped up with patches. There is also the bases, the home plate is pure rubber composition and the other bases are guaranteed to hold sand. A pick up at $lOO,OOO. How many, gentlemen? One at the time, please!
 Mir. Allen has announced that he will appear in Montgomery! A bona fide showing on Monday. He will bring along his soap box and start his balla- hoo in new territory. He has sold Lit tie Rock in entirety and now is seeking new fans to conquer.
 The problem is, will MOntgOmery take on 8 performance of the crawling Travellers and thus help Mir. Allen fight off the wolf, or will they pass him up; let him 20 to the wall; then purchase his fran. chise when he comes within the bounds of reason on his offer?

He was the kind who, a few years later, would have played on through the October dust of a furious gridiron battle with a shoulder or collar-bone broken-concealing his injury and go- ing fiercely on to win for his college for love of winning.
 There won't be any tennis played for some time on those courts where the boy played. And, in the White House, some one has put away a rae quet and tennis outfit marked c. c. Junior.
 But those who watched at the bed side and marvelled, while the boy play ed bravely his last game, can know that the sport-loving people of Amer ica bow their heads in respect for the memory of brave loser-the game young tennis player of the White House.

 They called him "the young tennis player of the White House." He was not a champion, but young Cal Cool idge was a sportsman and he played the game hard, as spOrtman should even in those last fierce rallies against death. He was of the stuff of which champions are made.
 It was only a scratch on the heel which Cal Jr., got in a strenuous ten his match on the White House courts a few days ago. An older head or a more cautious one would have stopped the game and had the scratch attended to. But young Cal did just what a true sportsman will always do-he played on without complaining of the hurt or even thinking about it. His hearts was in the game and nothing else mattered.

CHANCE BRIGHT
 FOR AMERICANS
Hope High For Big Olym- pic Marathon Victory
 Today

PARIS, July 12.-(By the Associated Press. )-America will enter the Mara thon, the crowning event of the Olym- pic competition, tomorrow, with higher hopes of victory than at any time since Johnny Hayes gained first place over the Italian, Dorando, at London, in 1908.
 Clarence H. De Mar, the veteran Melrose, Mass, typesetter, who won the final trials in the United States, and Frank g. Vending, Buffalo, N. Y.,sare the favorites among the six Americans entered. according to the coaches. They have been showing the best form among the Americans fin the long training grind of practically six weeks and are expect ed to give a keen battle to the Scan dinavians, who, led by Flames Koleh- mainen, 1920 victor, hope to repeat.
 Kolehmainen's leg muscle injury will handicap him in his attempt to. achieve a second triumph, but it is expected his experience will carry him long way.
 Finland is counting heavily on Koleh- mainen, Villar Kyronen and Stenroos, while the EsthOnian Lossmann is re- garded as dangerous.
 The, other Americans among the 68 entrants are Frank T. Zuna, Newark, N. J.; Charles L. Mellor, Chicago i; William J. Churchill,- San Francisco. and Ralph A: Williams, Quincy, Mass.

the new vaudeville bill at the
Palace this weekend.
The Chalfonte Sisters are excellent
dancers who dress up like birds,
ak. sing and dance like them. This
dancing act is mounted and present
ed in good taste. A real novelty,
because the sisters have original
IDEAS. concerning the dance.
In the opening act, White, Black
and Useless, a trained mule is used
20 advantage in a blacksmith shop
scene. I guess the animal is a mule,
but he is a good comedian, anyway.
1t is the old trick mule stunt pre-
sented in a new way.
Billy Geek and Gladys Randolph

rather mild form of entertainment.
Emil R. Demarest is a pianist who
goes in for the trick stuff. He even
plays the piano while standing on

The applause winner Of the bill is
a team known as the Four Miners,
made up of Pennsylvania coal

One-Man Streetcars
Increase Accident
Risk Inquest Shows

+, DANVILLE, ILL.,, July 21.-The first
official protest against the construc-
ton Of one-man operated street cars
in this city, which became the policy
for the company last September, was
made today when a coroner's jury at
the inquest of two and one-half year
old Chester Juvinall declared that
traffic conditions in the city made it
impossible for one man to operate a
street car and attend to all of the
duties required of him.
The motorman, James Lucas, was
not held to blame personally, the com
pany being blamed for all Of the short
comings Of the service. Evidence
showed that the tot walked out onto
the street car tracks and. was not seen
by the motorman, who was busily
engaged in Issuing transfers at the
time. The car had been slowed down
to a six-mile-an-hour clip. This is the
first fatality following long series OF
accidents since the one-man cars
were established.

The All-Russian Church Conference,
called by the Synod (head organ of
the Russian Orthodox church, for
passing Judgment on the activities of
ex-Patriarch Tikhon, now united with

church, the abolition of the Patri-
archaic of Russia and the transfer in
this country of the administration of
the church to the Synod; and the non

The church conference decided, to-
day, against any reconciliation with
Tikhon, whom they look upon as an
incorporating instrument responsible
for the decay Of the church, an adven-
turer and reactionary, not belong
ing to the Orthodox church, but the
head Of the Tikhon seat"

Against Old Parties
BY MAY o'RRIEN

NEW YORK, July members OF
different printing trades unions are
enthused over the nominations of Fos-
ter and Gitlow. and are now organic
ing a Park Row Branch of the Work
ers Party. A number of ex-democrats
and ex-republicans have assured me
they would vote for Foster and Git
low. Several rank and file members
of the socialist party stated that they
are sick of their leadership. as real
socialists cannot vote for LaFollette,
who is for capitalism and an anti
socialist. They also said Foster and
Gitlow are the only socialists in the
field and as real socialists we will
vote and work for the candidates Of
the Workers Party; the rank and file
socialists are Communists anyway
and it is only the personal jealousy OF
our leaders that keep us from endors-
ing Foster and Gitlow.
