including Saturdays allowed 90 runs,

over ten hits a game in the eight games

in seven games while Atlanta was hit

Barons Finally Cop Contest But Require Eleven Inn
BRAUSEN, STUFFY AND
CAMEL DO DAMAGE
4Iyman And Sedgewick Fight For Nine Innings
In Hard Box Duel

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 25.-
Especial AFTER pinch-hitter Gun
ningham's drive over the barrier in the
nineth had given the home fans their
biggest thrill of the season and temper
arily rescued the game from the Bar
ons, Brausen and Stewart entered into
a combination in the eleventh inning
and Birmingham took the prettiest ball
game of the local season, and 2. In
the regular nine innings, the contest
was a brilliant pitching duel between
Hymn and Sedwick in which the home
twirler had the edge in everything but
runs scored Which unfortunately is Il
very essential part of the game.
Sedgwick Settles Down
Sedgwick's usual wildness was al
most entirely absent after his open
ing base on balls had developed into
a run. The Barons were out in order
from first to seventh, when Knode got
a scratch hit. Then Jeanes awful smash
to the right center fence in the eighth
put the Barons one ahead and seemed
to have won the game until Cunning
hams pole in the ninth. The pitcher
was given the very fastest sort of sup
port, the infield vieing with themselves
in sparkling plays, with very few
drives going to the outfield.
Pick, the new Outfieijer from the
Reds, joined the club and played well
fast return hit in the first inning
producing an out. He batted right
handed against Hyman and got blow,
and then crossed over off Gray and
walked. Camel saved the game for the
Barons in the eighth when with Pick
hurrying home, he put one fin under
ID. Andy's Texas Lacquer about an inch
from the ground. Stewart played brill
liant second base and as usual at An
drews field directed his Barons well.
Brausen Scores
Sedgewick opened up by compliment
ing Brausen. The little third sacker
purloind second AMI scored on Knodes
pinch clout to right. Massey was safe
on Hartford's kick i'll the home half
and took third on Bates drive to
right, but Hyman puzzled the three best
home hitters and there was no score.
In the second, Niehaus walked, ID. Andy
sacrificed and Wingfield's first hit
scored him. The Barons made spark
ling double play in the third. Bates,
first up, walked and Carroll sacrificed
Pick fired hot one at Hartford who
nailed Bates at third by quick throw
Pick turned wrong at first and after
Bates was tagged Brausen's perfect
throw caught him off.
JeaneS Hits Homer
This was the last real chance either
team had until the seventh when
Wingfield opened the frame with his
third hit, but he was not advanced.

DAVIS TROUBLED
BY LABOR REGIME
Conservatives, Bereft OF Power,
Object To Election Methods

COPENHAGEN, May 26.-(By As
sociated Press.-King Christian has cut
short his holiday and returned to COpen-
hagen in order to give his royal sane
ton to Denmark's first labor cabinet.
The conservatives are drawing atten-
ton to the anomaly in the voting which
showed that although the labor party
only secured 80 per cent of the votes
cast, they are placed in power over rep
resentatives of parties which claimed 50
per cent of the votes.
The conservatives are also strongly
criticizing the action of Premier Staun-
ing in selecting Count MOltke as foreign
minister. They allege that Moltke is
known to have extreme German sympa-
thies and that these are shared by his
wife, thus making it difficult to settle
the Danish German frontier squabbles
satisfactorily.

UNUSUAL CROWD
OUT AT BELMONT
Pegler, In His Own And
Only Way, Tells
About 1t
BY WESTBROOK PEGLAR

NEW Y1Rk, May 25.-Beautiful Bel
mont park, where Zev kicked mud in
the eye of the soughing British cham
pion, Ben Ireland's Papyrus, last
autumn, reopened Thursday to a crowd
that numbered somewhere between
Is 600 and 10000 swells, pikers, finan
ciers, two-bit touts. actors, bookmakers,
bootleggers and stable-stalling horse
people.
1t is safe to assume that Umbrella
Joe, the One-Eyed Connolly of the race
tracks, who crashes the Belmont gates

somewhere about. also, leaning on the
stem of his greenish old parachute and
making bets with himself as each field
scampered to the post. There had been
20 days of racing at the Jamaica track,
not far from Belmont, but there was
rain during the Jamaica season and,
anyway, Jamaica isn't Belmont.
Just outside the park, making them
selves heard above the rumble of the
automobile traffic, the touts were sell
ing their envelopes for 80 cents or dol
lar-envelopes which were said to con-
tain the names of the winners in GER
tain races.
Good Bet Before Race
1t was noticeable that most of the
tOuts were pretty shabby, but maybe
they don't bet on their own tips. Per-
haps they tipped Major August Bel
monts horse, Ordinance, which had
been running well of late, to win the
Metropolitan handicap, the big race of
the afternoon. That would have seem
ed a pretty safe selection before the
race because almost everyone thought
Ordinance would walk home first and
add $4,000 to Belmont's fortune. But
Ordinance finished fifth and Major
Belmont, angry and somewhat excited,
went down to his stable after the race
to ask explanations from his people,
as though explanations could be used to
pay the hay bill and the rent.

Bracadale, another three-year-old, own

turn in owned by Harry Sinclair. the
money-monarch of the racing business,
was second and Rlalto, tour-year-old
which recently defeated Zev, was third.
Compares to Zoo
Belmont Park is one place where the
piker with a 1885 admission and 50

NEW YORK, May 25.-With the

have begun to assume second division
aspects with the two Philadelphia teams

that anchored them in the cellar.
As the Athletics followed good pitch
ing into a winning stride and the
Yankees were retarded by weak hurl-
ing. the American race frightened slight

separate New York and Boston, tied for
the lead, from Philadelphia.
National Relaxes
The struggle in the National league
relaxed from its five-game limit of last
week until seven contests now sepa
rate New York from the Phillies who
met reverses at Chicago and st.
Louis.
The rise of the Boston Americans,
most salient feature of the season,
earned its reward today when the Red
Sox went into tie with New York
for first place after winning 15 of their
last 10 games. Ineffective pitching,
which even their mighty bats could
not protect, finally brought the worlds
champions down to the level of the
league.
Browns Checked
The drive of the Browns was sum-
marily checked by the Athletics as the
latter were rescued from their long

Meeker and Heimacher. Cobb's Tigers
