INDEPENDENTS
 SNARE SERIES

Baby" Hains erStwhile Howard star, contributed the fielding features of the day. He accepted seven chances with out a pebble, while Donehoo, in center, made couple of brilliant stabs of hard hit liners.
 First game Score by innings: R. H. B. Huntsville ...... 900 210 0-3 8 0 Oneonta ........ 900 POO O-2 3 8
 Batteries: South. Pete Lewis and Tip ton; Kelton and Rains.

KID AWNINGS
 uCKS FOLSOM
Local Negro Boxer Knocks Out
 Opponent In Fourth

Kid Linnings, local negro boxer, scored a technical knockout over John Holsom in a fast bout last night at the colored Elks' hall. Linnings had a decisive point lead all the way, but in the fourth he cut loose with all he had and the kayo resulted.
 The victor, it is said, expects to meet Tiger Flowers, Atlanta's brilliant negro, in the near future. Under the manage ment of Bobby Chaplin, Linnings is progressing rapidly, and it is expected that he will soon drift up east, there to take on all corners. .f@

THIE Mobile Bears and Barons, who
 are scrambling for fifth place, will
 change their tactics to open hos tility Thursday afternoon at Rickwood, During the past series for the two clubs the Barons gained one game on the fleeing Bears, for the Stewards copped one contest from the Pelicans, while the Bears lost all three to the Crackers, The four-game series at Redwood this week will be enough to give the Barons ranking above the Bears by as good margin if they are able to turn the same brand of trick that they worked on the Mobile crew when they were here before.
 On the last visit of the South
 Bay city nine the local aggrega-
 tion swept the series clean and left
 not fragment for their guests.
 A similar occurrence this week
 would be very timely for the Bir-
 mingham hirelings.
 <
 The Pelicans made victory doubly sure Wednesday and won from the Barons by the margin of 10 to 3. Roy Walker was unable to hold the Pels at bay and they romped ahead. Shovel Hodge allowed 10 well scattered hits but Stewart and Jeanes marred his per fOrmance by hitting home runs on two consecutively pitched balls.
 Benny Karr was the chap who
 turned back the Bears. The Huhns
 got nine hits off the Atlanta ace
 but they were too well scattered to
 be effective. The score was 8
 to 8.
 Over in Little Rock the former Yankee flash outfielder, Berney Acton, lost the game for the Travellers. This player has had somewhat of checkered career. He started at Howard college and was one of the fastest men on the bases in college baseball. The Yankees bought him and much copy paper was used by New York scribes in elaborat- ing on the great prospects of the south ern speed demon. Then Acton flashed and it was over. He was sent to Macon, in the Sally loop, and then jumped them. This year he worked a little as a pitcher in little town by the name of New Merkle and the Travellers picked him up not long ago. Te has not been doing anything sensational and Wednesday made the error which allowed two Memphis Chicks to score and the league leaders to win the game, j to 2.
 
 The Chattanooga Lookouts con tinued to set a rather speedy pace in the Dixie major and swamped the Nashville Vols, 12 to g. Wing field turned the Vols back, while Lindstrom, Morris and Weaver
 failed to check the Lookouts.
 A crucial series will be started in Atlanta Thursday when the New Or leans team opens up there. The Crack eFs and Pels have been fighting a tough battle for second place and the coming contests are likely to decide the matter one way or the other.

The league leaders will still pick on the lowly Little Rock crew for awhile.
 Detroit's rise to the foremost posi- in the American league Tuesday was only temporary, Their election came about Wednesday, when the dethornet Yankees, spurred on to greater effort. after two straight defeats, launched successful comeback in the thirC game of the series with the Tigers.
 It was not easy task for the New Workers for it took fully II innings to accomplish a victory and had it not been for Babe Ruth the Tanks would have been dragged into tie for third place which is held by the Senators. The Babe came to the rescue in the eleventh stanza by clubbing his 29th circuit wallop of the season the blow which ended a 3-2 tie and placed his teammates on the victorious end of 4-to-3 score. Thus, New York once more assumed the league leadership, half a game ahead of Detroit.
 As the Senators won from the White Sox, to 2 in Washington, the Tigers were placed in a precarious position for the victory hauled Washington up to a mere half game from second place.
 Urban shocker had an easy time pitching the Browns to n 7-to-0 win over the Athletics in Philadelphia.
 In Boston the Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians, 16 to 12 in weird slugging match in which 39 hits were made.
 The six and half game lead of the Giants over Chicago remained intact when both clubs won their games. The leaders won a decisive victory from the Reds in Cincinnati, 8 to 1, while the Chicagoans triunphed over the Braves, 5 to 2.
 
 Uncle Robbie's Dodgers main- tained their grip on third place by winning a 10-inning struggle from the Pirates in Pittsburg, Jac- ques Fournier, the Dodgers first baseman and home run leader of the National league, achieved his 22nd of the season in the sixth inning.

Avondale Parks failure to show bet ter this year has occasioned much sur prise. The Parkers hitherto have usual ly been a championship factor in what ever class of ball they played, but some how their machine has needed billing all during the current year. Inability of the tossing corps has undoubtedly had much to do with this. None of the men on the mound staff has been at all consistent. Washington, Bit Drennen, Porter Branch, Hubert Car roll Beaird and other veterans of known caliber are still with the team but they haven't been able to lift il very high Rs yet.

THREE MISSING AFTER
 VOLCANOES EXPLOSION
Believed To Have Been Killed By Sud-
 den Eruption of Kilauea on Island of Hawaii
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 Honolulu, May 19.-Three persons are unaccounted for following a violent explosion in the crater of Kilauea volcano on the Island of Hawaii, said advices reaching here last night from Hilo on that island. They are Miss Molly L. Thomas, a nurse of the board of health and two soldiers, whose names were not given.
 The explosion was the most violent of the current period of activity in the volcano. The three were seen at the edge of the great pit of the crater immediately before the explosion. A searching party was sent out in an effort to locate the bodies.
 Truman s. Taylor, a bookkeeper of Pahala, was struck by a rock thrown out from the volcano immediately af- ter the explosion and both legs were crushed. He also was burned severe ly by hot ashes. Taylor's cries were heard, by another sightseer who went to his assistance.
 Violent explosions with eruptipns of rocks, sand and ashes continue un- abated. There were eleven Saturday night and three notable ones Sunday morning, besides numerous lesser dis turbances. Each large detonaton is followed by a shower of large rocks. Tons of the missiles are hurled three quarters of q mile. The rock which injured Taylor fell 1,S00 feet from ilie crater. A rain of ashes and mud followed the rock showers. The rain fall is tremendous and is accompanied by brilliant displays of lightning and violent thunder
