CHICKS DEFEAT
 LOWLY BARONS
Memphis Within Two Games Of Cinching
 Pennant

The defenseless Barons celebrated Defense Day here Friday in the manner habitual to this years mismatched crew and lost, 8 to 8, to the Memphis Chickasaws. On the other hand tt {, Chicks, who this day 1921 cinched the Southern league pennant by beating the Barons here, all but sewed the rag up again, for now they have only two more games to win before cinching the penant. The last game of the series will be played Saturday afternoon and this game, which all manner of dope and pre-game indications point to as another Memphis victory, as the five games which have already gone by the board for the Barons. It was. lucky break in schedule making, or rather it was the miserable product of the menu opers wot gathered early this year to map out the 1924 Southern League campaign, which gave the Chicks six games in a row in Bir- mingham. The Barons, now the most harmless organization in modern base ball, have offered the league leaders no barrier in their rush down the home stretch to the pennant. The frantic Crackers have been winning all games they can get scheduled bu their efforts are pitifully futile.
 The Memphis twiriers mainly have turned back the Barons with ease here and failing fell back on the slashing hitting of their teammates to cop the game. Every moundsman was a win ner here and none had reason to extend themselves or feel unduly alarmed at the outcome of the encounter.
 Such was the case Friday for the Chicks started early and kept ahead all the way. The Barons tied the count twice but the Bluff City tribe came back in the next frame to take the lead again on each occasion.
 Rufus Clarke worked for the Barons and gave up eleven hits. His opponents on the mound were Blume and Kelly. Kelly started for the Chicks in the fourth and kept the homelings off the bases in the late innings. He allowed but two hits and the only Baron who tallied with him on the mound came home on Memphis errors. After the fourth the Barons went out in the order of their appearance at the plate and it was not until the ninth inning when one man was down that the locals se- cured a hit off Kelly. Then Ganzel singled but Spencer lined out to La Notice and Ganzel was doubled off first.
 The hitting of Anderson, wo ob- tained three out of four, and Smith, who hit triple and double out of four, and of Prothro, who batted out a home run in the fifth, featured.

 To Clash For Cup

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-American and British polo teams will make their fourth attempt to meet in the first match of the series for the interna- tional cup tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Meadowbrook club.
 Intermittent showers were predicted by the weather bureau tonight but of ficials of the United States Polo asso- citation said that nothing but a down. pour would prevent the game which has already been postponed three times because of rain.
 The second contest is slated for Tuesday of next week and the third ten tatively scheduled for Saturday, but the association announced that the final game might be moved up to Thursday to permit play in the open champion ship to begin on Saturday.

Rye Six Feet Tall ON
w. H. Reed Ranch
Proves the Merits of
Summer Following

~ NE of the show places on the
big flat near Harlem is the
"Summerfallow" Ranch, that
is owned by w. H. Reed, who has
in $50 acres of crop, the largest
individual acreage in that part of
the state. Mr.. Reed is the origi-
nator of the summerfallow idea in
his part of the state and is the
father of what is known as the
summerfallow club.
The outstanding crop at this
time, which fully demonstrates
the value of summerfa11owing, is
81 acres of winter rye, which is all
headed out and stands almost six
feet high. Mr.. Reed has in addi-
ton to this $50 acres of wheat and
140 acres of oats that are coming
along fine.
In addition to this large crop
Mr.. Reed has just completed pillow
ing 375 acres which will be sum-
m~erfallowed for the next year.
The weeders arein the field now,
going over the land, the first of
three operations during the sum-
mer months.
