DEFENSIVE WORK TOO
 GOOD FOR GILBERTS
Camp Ganzel And Brenner Hit Agate Hard
 Stewart Practices But Does Not Play

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 29.--(Spe- cial.) took the edge on the series here today by administering the second defeat in two days to the Pelicans, to 2. In doing so, the Barons proved that they could hit Pug Cavet's offerings just the same as any other member of the Pel staff and played good defensive ball behind Ben nett and Gray to keep out of the danger zone. For the first three innings Cavet went we'll, allowing but one hit, single by Ganzel in the second inning. The Barons started a rally in the fourth that netted three runs. Hartford, first up, singled to left and went to second when Bogart let the ball get away from him. Jeanes grounded to Ewoidt, who threw to second to try and catch Hart ford but he got back to the bag and both runners were safe. Rhode sacri- ficed Cavet walked GanZel purposely to get Camp, but the latter sent slash ing single to left, scoring Hartford Brenner followed with single to right and both Jeanes and Ganzel scored.
 Double Steal Fails
 Camp and Brenner tried to work a double steal but Camp was thrown out at the plate. The rally ended when Robertson popped to Ewoldt. The Barons had another chance to score in the fifth with two men on, but Rhode flied to Tucker. However, they added a fourth run in the sixth. Ganzel went safe on Jackson's error and was sacri- feed to second by Camp. Brenner flied to Bogart, Robertson singled to center, scoring Ganzel. Then Bennett grounded out to Ewoldt.
 The Pelicans scored two runs in their half of the sixth. After Dowie ground ed out to Brausen. Cavet started the fireworks with-a single to right, scoring Bogart. Bennett was yanked from the mound and Gray took up the pitching for the Barons. Henry stole second, placing a runner on second and third, but they were unable to score further, for Tucker flied out to left and Ganzel made great one-handed catch of Hoffman's liner, which seemed to be good for extra bases. Cancels catch was one of the best seen at Heinemann park and was one of the outstanding features of the game.
 BarOns Score Again
 The Barons scored their fifth Eun in the eighth. Rhode went safe on Ewoidt's error and was sacrificed to second by Ganzel. The rally ended when Robertson grounded to Jackson. He was thrown out at first, and Henry threw Camp out at the plate on his

MIGHTY. EV IS BEATEN IN RACE St. James Comes Home Far Ahead of Heavily
 Laden Champion /

\ NEW YORK, April 29-Zev, the
 super-horse of the 1923 season. sagged at the knees under the weight of 130 pounds and the responsibility of much
 money that had been placed on him to
 win the big race of opening day at Jamaica race track Tuesday. AL though 1t was only leap of six fur longs, the three-year- champion of 1923 was beaten by George Widener's three-year-old St. James, trailing the younger horse by four lengths at the finish. Dunlin was third. St. James paid 5 to 1 in the speak-easy hand books
 A large crowd, consisting mainly of incurable race followers, attended the first days running in New York since the Zev-Papyrus match race last fall at Belmont. With memories of Zev's record in 1928, the gamblers were lib- eraI In their backing, and some few went "off the end of the dock" to plunge on him to win. However, there were some who played cautiously, and Zev paid place odds of l to 6. Earl Sande was on the bridge and he broke Zev ahead of the field and led by two lengths at the quarter. Hummer, on St. James, then threw his club and whacked his mount, with the result that St. James looped around zev and staggered far ahead of him in the stretch. Zev seemed to be all in al the finish of the short race, although he won 1t easily last year.

LACEY TO MEET SMILES AT BAG. Extra Attraction For Ath- letic Card Friday Night
 Is Booked Tuesday

An added attraction for the champion ship go between Johnny McGinty, the challenger, and Jimmy Finley, the title holder, was announced by Matchmaker Evans Tuesday afternoon. The extra act on what looks to be the best card ever held in Birmingham. will be a 1O-round wrestling match between Tom Lacey and Homer Smiles.
 Tom Lacey, you know, is booked to represent the southeastern department of the A. A. U.. in the national mat trials in New York city. Tom may be the man chosen. to help defend the American championship in the interna- tional wrestling meet of the Olympic games. He stated, however, that he cherished the ambition of beating Smiles before he shipped for Gotham, so the match was arranged as bit of addenda to what was already a great card. tfsts

However, if his train does not reach here in time for him to pull this stunt Wednesday, he will surely give the fans an eyeful of thrills Thursday afternoon when he works out at the club.
 Never in the history of the boxing game in Birmingham did an advance sale open as auspiciously as was the case Tuesday morning when Coach Secretary Erwin showed up the little window grating at the club and started peeling off pasteboards for an im- patient line. Everything tends to show eyer staged by the B. A. C. and that every nook and cranny of the gym will be filled with a capacity crowd when the two warriors step through the ropes and start mixing 1t Friday night. "We have installed many extra seats," said Coach Ervine. land hope that we will be abl etc accommodate without turning 1 anyone away"

 Should the club be gripped more firmly when playing tho irons than when playIng with w6aden cIubsf
 Answered by
 WM. NEELHORN ..-.ss-s ''The St. Louis Youngster" whose bat terlng courage and sound golf enable him to finish well up in all the tournaments he enters.
 The club Is not gripped more firmly in playing iron and mashie shots than when playing wooden clubs. You sneed more control in playing to the green. as you do with the irons. than at any other time: gripping more firmly will prob ably l1se you this control True. the ball is struck more firmly with iron clubs be- cause the swing is shorter and the eiub Is shorter. allowing you to hit your ban more with the hands. The shot may look firmer than, it actually Is because you are hitting the ball a sharply descending blow and taking turf to give true flight to the ball.

 Hartford, Camp and Brenner all hit the ball hard and furnished the punch for the Barons. The Pelicans simply could not hit when hits meant runs. The Barons executed three double plays to choke off the possible runs during the game.
 Manager Stewart was out for prac- tice for the first time, fielding his po- sition at second, but did not get into the game.
 Whitaker is slated to pitch tomorrow for the Pelicans against Sep Good.
