It was one of the prettiest exhibitions of baseball in the local ballyard this year and was played before 1000 thousands rabid sup porters of the local negro team.
 The Black Barons tossed away two good scoring chances and after these had been passed by so lightly, Pitcher Terrell for the northern team allowed the homelings but few hits after that and no real chances to at all.

FIGHT SHOULD DRAW CROWD Finley Will Be Pushed Hard To Retain
 Crown

Promoters of the FinleyDillon bout to be staged next Monday night in the B. A. c. arena are looking for a huge group of spectators, when the two lads step into the ring for a match that is to have a bearing on the welterweight title of the south.-~
 This setto has been hankered for all around the southern circuit. With quite a jabbing slated, and Birmingham is to be considered lucky in being able to arrange the affair. The B. A. c. authorities, though, are always on the lookout for first-class bouts, and so in booking it they had the best interests of the fighting fans of the city at heart. gratitude by packing the gym at the club; --
 With both fighters making 14S by the time they come to the ringside Mon day. after Finley had agreed to these terms, the boys are expected to be about even. Dillon has nothing to lose, since he is fighting for the laurels in the welter class. although if he should not win, it could be said that he has lost something, that being the crown of the southern division.
 In other words, Jimmy Finley is stalking his crown Monday night, and is only doing this after the Nashville knocker had made it known about this section that he was after Finley's stuff.
 With such mauling scheduled for the club arena, no wonder the fight makers are planning for a capacity crowd. Seating arrangements are be- ing made so that large number can be accommodated, while plans call for a backing of local bugs that leaves no vacant spots in the rows of seats.
 Another drawing card for the nights entertainment will be the all-arornd menu to be dished out to the fight fans on said occasion, with preliminaries slated to be of the best calibre, many of the local favorites to appear in tights on this date.
 Enthusiasm for the fray will clearly ooze out all around the latter part of this week when the two boys hit the slag piles of SIagtown. At present some of the fans are planning on pull ing Rip Van Wrinkle until the occa- sion, as their impatience cannot stay their anxiety, and slumber would be the relief.

 After waiting an hour Umpire Harry Johnson inspected the grounds and called the game. The sun had been playing peekaboo for half an hour, and directly after the game was called, it came out brightly, but the grounds were too wet to play.
 It is doubtful if Slim McGrew will renew thep game pitching tomorrow, as prescribed by the. Woodward resolu- ton. McGrew was hit-in the right el- bow by a pitched ball in the second in- ming. He worked the third, but stated that his arm was stiffening after the game.

THE AMATEUR

Sometimes the most obvious things are the most frequently overlooked by reason of their very obviOusness; and it would appear that many of the City league managers, whose teams are fighting to get in the play-of, have made this mistake in regard to Fair field. Here is a powerful baseball team that has made a veritable runaway of their divisions race, yet few of the con tending pilots have bothered their heads about the Westerners' opposition. Per haps it is because they are too busy keeping up in their own division to worry over the ones they will face in the post-season series.
