BLACK BARONS
 LOSE AND TIE
Second Game Called In Seventh With Score
 4 To 4

2 The Memphis Red Sox were a flock of monkeys at Redwood park Tuesday aft ePnoon in their double bill with the Black Barona. But not in the way you would think. Rather, they played the part of monkeys in an initiative way, Aping their Southern league mentors, in giving the Birmingham team a thorough licking, 10 to, (, in the first game of the twin en- gagement and all but whipping them in a A. tie in the second half of the en- gagement. Darkness ended the game in the seventh.
 Two former Black Barons. Kemp and Miller murdered the offerings of Pitcher Mccall In the first ganle,i pushing over Tun after run. with grand collection of 14 hits. Kemp led the way and Miller followed in a noble fashion. The Black Barons showed bits of fight. but they were too far scattered to do any material good.
 Black BarOns Lead
 The second game saw the locals take the lead in the first inning, lose 1t in the sixth on a tie; and then, when Memphis had put one over in the seventh with dark ness dropping down to make 1t a 4-to-3, they came back and scored the tieing run just before the game was called. Jones' single drove in the run that knotted the count.
 Big Mule Sellers featured both games for the Black Barons with his hitting. He took one out of five in the first and three out of four in the second. his double in the fifth scoring two runs.
 The games Tuesday closed out the Black Baron stay at Redwood until later in the month. The team will take the road.The scores: e.

than the count indicates. Mooney won much the same sort of battle with w. A. Hatdenburgh, the score being six love in each set.
 As for today's pairings, the feature match, if it is played during the day, as is expected, should be that between Jack Simpson and Kennedy, both of Atlanta. They are both. in the third bracket and may play today. The re- suit is a t0ss-up. Kennedy is not quite up to the height of his form, but his ability is expected to counter act that and make the match about as evenly contested as any during the meet. It was confidently prophesied that this match would be fully equal in class to the finals.
 Dan Murray runs against Bob Young and is q big favorite, despite the latter's thus far triumphant career. Another very fine match will be that between the victor is in the Mooney all and Newton -Huggins encounters. | The doubles excitement will be fur nished chiefly by the battle between the veteran local dues, Ray Lange and Lee Allen Brookes, and Billy Bartlett and Warren. This struggle reyives memories of other lays in the breasts of local hugs, who can recall many fiery clashes between these pairs.
 Following are the pairings for to- day:
 Singles Matches
 Murray plays Young; winner Moon ey-Hall match meets winner Newton. Huggins match; Jack Simpson meets Kennedy !; Brookes meets Hess.
 Doubles Matches
 Smith and McWane meet Gelatt and Hardenburgh; Mooney and Jack Simp- son meet winner of Smith and McWane- Gelatt and Hardenurgh match; Wood son and Shadgett meet Hess and Ken. nedy; Murray and Newton meet win ner Woodson and Shadgett-Hess and Kennedy match: Brookes and Lang meet Warren and Bartlett; Allison and Nabers meet winner Brookes and Lang Warren and Bartlett match.

 Gets Invitation
 As the little group at the plate broke ranks, Hank shaking the hands of the generals as though they had beet, buddies all their lives, d messenger slipped him a telegram. Hank read it: Members of the United States infantry association throughout the country watch with great interest the events of Gowdy day in New York today. We invite you to attend the dedication of Gowdy field early in the fall. Charles A. Farnworth, major general, chief of infantry, United States army"
 Hank passed rough flannel sleeve across his face. It was a warm day and probably he was perspiring. Maybe his eyes were dimmed a little by the memories that came to him in that moment. Hank isn't what you'd call girlish fellow, but he may have felt a little sentimental just the same.
 Ump Breaks In
 The umpire wriggled into his armor and touched up the plate with his lit- tie brush.
 Let's have a hitter" he yelled. Let's go."
 Hank Gowdy laid the scroll in the dugout and clanked out to the field again ill his body armor to crouch be- heath the bat-a ball-player again.

SOUTHERN LOOP CLUBS
 KILL WOODWARD RULE
Unanimous Vote Repeals Anti-Stalling Ruling
 After Brief Period In Effect

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 5.-The so- called .anti-staiIing'' rule, known also as the Woodward resolution has been repealed by unanimous vote of the eight clubs comprisings the Southern association, John D. Martin, president, of the league announced tonight.
 In announcing repeal of the Wood ward rule, Mir. Martin called atten- tion to section four of rule %, em- towering umpires to forfeit games If team employ tactics palpably de- signed to delay the game, and stated that the was instructins southern as- sociation umpires to strictly enforce this rule.''
 l; q will entertain no portest," the league president said, from any club complaining of the umpires' action in forfeiting a ball game against a club employing stalling tactics on the play ing field. Heretofore umpires have been instructed not to be quick on the trigger in declaring forfeitures because abhor forfeiting ball same unless the forfeiture Is absolutely necessary. But am determined to break up the prac- tice of stalling on Southern league di- amonds."
 The vote on the Woodward resolu-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-06

tion was taken on motion of the At lanta club and as the result of consid- erable confusion among scorers, um- pires and players regarding applica- tion of the rule.
 To Prevent StaIling
 The rule was designed by A. H. Woodward, vice president of the league and also vice president of the Birming- ham club, as a cure for "stalling" on the playing field. Under the rule, nine innings were required to complete q regular game and seven innings were required for. the second games of dou- ble-headers. In. the event play was interrupted before the game was com pleted, the remaining innnings were played off later, the play being re- sumed at the point where left off.
 Mir. Martin stated that both Mir. Woodward and w. D. Smith, president of the Birmingham club, had advised him that they did not desire to insist on retention of the rule if the other clubs wanted it repealed. According ly, the league president cast the Bir. mingham clubs vote in favor of the repeal.
 The repeal of the rule becomes ef- fective immediately, Mir. Martin stated.

CRENSHAW BOYS LEAVE ALABAMA
Two Stellar Golfers Lost To University's Great
 Team

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. B. Especial Leased Wire. )-Files Cren- shaw, present southern intercollegiate golf champion, and his younger broth CT, Jackson, who held the same title in 1923, will probably enter the Har- yard Law school this coming session, it was announced here today.
 The announcement that they would enter Harvard and forsake the Univer- sity of Alabama should add strength to golfing prospects at the Cambridge school, but will mean the breaking up of one of the greatest collegiate golf teams in the country.
 For two years the Alabama golfing quartet, led by Files, has coralled all honors in the two intercollegiate meets, one held in Knoxville, Tenn, in 1923 and the other held at Atlanta, Ga, in 1923. The 1923 team, composed of the two Crenshaws, Bobby Baugh, Jr., and Glenn Crisman, former state cham pion, brought to Tuscaloosa every cup given except the consolation one.
 Files in Limelight
 Neither youngster has reached man. hood age, Jack being a few months past IS and Files few months older than Jack. Files was the first to gain attention when he copped the state anna teur title, qualifying with "A over par Il course at the Montgomery Coun- try club. At that time his golf age was exactly one year and three months, and he had never known throughout that lengthy span the advice of a profess sional. He belongs to the class who have taken up golf as a necessity, physician's orders.
 Since winning the state title he has broken numerous records on his home course here and at the Tuscaloosa course. Weighing only 130 pounds, his driving does not break any rec ords, but his accuracy with butter and irons makes him dangerous in any match.
 Intercollegiate Champion
 He is at present intercollegiate cham pion of the south, winning this title after disposing of his brother in the semi-finalS' to get to Fred Lamprecht, of Tulane university, in the finals.
 Jack, the younger, weighs a few pounds less and is the same height, five feet seven inches. He won the first southern intercollegiate meet held in Knoxville in 1923, defeating Fred Lamp recht of Tulane in the finals. His best shots come with the wooden clubs.
 The two youths graduated at the Ala bama institution in 1923 and returned for one year of law. Both are excellent students, Jack having made Phi Beta Kappa, and Files having been a mem- | Der of several other honorary societies They are members of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Red-headed, freckle-faced, skinny-legged Hank Gowdy stood uneasy, shifting his big noble dogs which had plodded and sloshed through many muddy miles of trenches in France, as strange mili- tary ceremony passed before him at the Polo grounds Tuesday afternoon. Nothing like it had ever happened be- fore in baseball. Hank, the catcher who tossed aside his catcher's muzzle and pads to go to the war in 1917, the first Major league ball-player to volunteer to face the swift delivery of the German guns, was receiving be- lated, but overwhelming tribute from his country.
 Gowdy is no longer a younng fellow as ages are reckoned in his trade and his status now is that of emergency catcher and assistant coach of the Giants. He has had some great mo- ments in his life on the ball-field but even his historic home runs ill the world series of 1914 were mere inci- dents as compared to this moment. NOtables Present
 General Robert Lee Bullard, Gen. Bryant H. Welles and Gen. Weigel stood with Hank at the home plate as a platoon of regular infantry from the Eighteenth regiment filed past be- hind the colors which were carried by guard from Hanks old division, the Rainbow. Hank, the old color sergeant of the great war, was being treated as an equal by the great brass hats of the army whom he held in, awe a few years ago there in the mud and misery of the line. They even seemed proud to do honor to one of the million ob- scure fellows who made up the fighting ranks.
 G6wdy was receiving formal notifi- cation that the athletic campus at Fort Benning, Ga, was to be named in his honor ''Gowdy Field" They took this way of telling him about it. The stands were full. General Welles, com mander of the infantry school at Fort Benning, read the formal order of the

JACK SIMPSON WINS
 ! IlNk1ATCH WITH CRAIG
Crescent City Players Continue To Win; Hug
 gins Eliminates Ray Lange

4 Z
 Bob Craig, champion of the New Orleans Country club, was the first favorite to fall by the wayside in the Cotton States tennis tournament. Jack Simpson of Ataltnta yesterday elmi- mated the Louisiana star in straight sets by 0-1, 6-3 scores. This was by far the prettiest play yet furnished, Craig putting up spirited fight de- spite his visibly poor form. Ray Lange, local expert, went down before the st- perior craftsmanship of Allen Huggins of New Orleans. While not precisely an upset, it was an unusual event to ] witness. Lange's crash thus early.
 In his first set. Craig could never get started. He wasn't catching the the corners on his cross-fire, while he was outgeneralled at every turn. Simp- son was at the top of his game and now rests as one of the prime choices for finallist. Craig rallied some what in the final bracket, but couldn't halt Simpson, who now was fairly eating up everything. At that, though, most of the games were close and the match was extremely interesting throughout.
 Simpsons efficiency at the volleying game, coupled with his sreally splendid strategy at manoueveripg give him a very high rating. He was not great ly recognized until today, being rather in the nature of a dangerous dark horse, but from now on he will be de- licately estimated when the winner is predicted.
 Dan Murray, another. widely selected contender, romped through his match with s., s. Simpson, after the latter won on a default from Mabry. The score was 6-1, 0-1, the Tulane wonder never extending himself. Mills Newton and Allen Huggins, each of whom won hard matches during the day, was tang led in. a pretty duel when darkness supervened. Newton he'd won the first set 7-5. The second stood at 4 all, 15 all, when 1t was called until today. Higgins had a deal of trouble with Lang, winning 6-3, 7-5 after a hard struggle, while Newton had also ex. perienced difficulty against Roy Jones, dropping the first set 1-6, but grab ping the last two, 6-2, 6-2. The New Orleans players still appeared the choices for the largest. share of the honors, and were seemingly confident after the second days play.
 Lee Allen Brookes tcame through against Early Major. easily romping to a 6-0, G-1 victory. Major had previ- ously won one of the severest tests of the meet when he outlasted Hewitt Smith in long distance 10-S, 6-2 de- cision. The first game of this match alternated IS times and the second 19 before either could gain the final point
 Of the other Atlantans, besides Jack Simpson, M. A. Kennedy and Jack Mooney, both sincerely feared by every . entry, did well anl won without spe- cial excrtion. Kennedy was pushed at times by Paul Bowron, but his ex- perience gave him an edge. He won by scores of 6-1, 6-2, though most of the games were more hotly contested
