-nightcap were Davis, of Birming-
ham; Ray; Lindsey, and Harris Of
the Clowns with three hits. The
Clowns out-hit the Barons, IL to
l8.
After this doubleheader, the
Clowns headed for their third
appearance of the season at their
home grounds, CroSley Field in
Cincinnati. There they take on the
Memphis Red Sox in one of the
outstanding Negro American Lea
que double-headers of the season
Sunday afternoon, June 18th.
This is twin bill Cincinnati
fans are keen on, as the Red Sox,
with a host of former local boys in
their lineup, are tremendous fa-
vorites in the Queen-City. They
met the Clowns in Crosley Field
double-headers in 1871 and 1912
and split even on each occasion in
closely contested ball games.
Their coming games promise to
be as exciting. Jelly" Taylor,
Porter Moss, Neil Robinson,
Rubber" Hyde, Larry Brown,
Fred Bankead and the others in
the Memphis array, plus the great
popularity of the Clowns, figures to
bring out one of the best crowds
ever to see Race baseball in Gin
cinnati.
The Clowns hit a slump of late,
but have given every indication
of swapping out of it. The home
coming visit to Crosley Field may
be the tonic the doctor ordered,
that, and the recent acquisition of
Brennan King, big right-hand-
er, to their pitching staff. Flashy
Collins Jones has reported, giving
the team a good reserve infielder.
There is also the prospect of
several new players signed in the
near future, but, meanwhile, Mana
ger Bunny Downs is confident that
the aggregation the way it stacks
up now, is going to develop into
a potent and hard-to-beat outfit.

1t was stunning right hand
punch that sent Terranova to the
canvas, and the youngster turned

sured Wright of a return bout
with Willie Pep, Hartford sensa-
ton, who won the title from him
last November.
AS the bout got underway, both
fighters were rather cautious and
most of the fighting consisted of
exchanging blows at close-range.
In the second round, Wright
uncorked a left, and crossed with
a terrific right to drop Terranova
for the count of eight.
Wright concentrated his attention
at Terranova's head and continued

answer your queries:
Myron Smith was born in Bell
