The golf championship of Birmingham
Is to be decided soon. A city tourna
ment between the golfers of the Country
club aYid those of Roebuck Springs has
been planned sometime in the month of
July and will be contested on the Roe
buck Country club golf course. R. H.
Baugh is directing the plans of the tour
ney and a large number of entries are
expected.
The individual championship will be a
matter of intense interest, but the team
••••••••••••••••••••••••••■•■••••••••••••••••••••••a
match will be as keenly contested. The
course at Roebuck Springs, which is
conceded to be an architectural gem, is
being rid of rough spots and will be in
ideal condition at the time of the meet.
Before the city tournament, the golfers
will have two meets to give them the
needed priming. A number of Birming
ham golfers will journey to Montgomery
to attend the meet given under the aus
pices of the Montgomery Country club
on July 2, 3 and 4. The Cherokee Country
club of Knoxville has invited the local
clubs to enter the second annual invita
tion tournament there on July 23, 24 and
25. The Knoxville golfers have announced
an elaborate list of trophies to be given
the winners and runners-up.
H. H. Barker, the architect of the Roe
buck course, is enthused over the re
cent boost in membership at the club.
Seventy-five new members have been
added to the list within the last month.

New Orleans, June 20.—(Special.)—It was
an altogether different story today, the
kind we in New Orleans tell. The Peli
cans won and. oh, my, how easily. They
made runs galore—more, In fact, than
they have been accustomed to making in
two or three games lately. They made
hits, too. Of course, just batted in runs
and didn’t depend on errors, though one
or two bobbles by the Birminghammers
helped put over about three of the eight
runs. Yes, eight was the Pelican score,
8 to 0.
For once in recent weeks, the Barons
were not in it. There was only one little
flash of Baron jubilation, and that was
when the game started and the first two
of Molesworth’s men got on bases. Then
a delegation of Rotary clubbers, with red
ribbons on their hats, marched in, singing
a song of joy.
“Come on, McDonald,” they shouted,
for Mac was at bat. “Let's make it three
straights.” On down the aisle they went
whooping and having a lot of fun.
But McDonald couldn’t “come on.”
Buck Weaver must have heard the noise.
He began to pitch, and he never did let
up. The Barons connected Bafely only
five times, and never could bunch them
except in the second, when a double play
cut short their aspirations. After awhile
the boys in the bleachers started kidding
the Rotary clubbers from Birmingham.
There wasn't much more noise from their
corner.
Nine Pels faced Pitcher Brown in the
first inning, and when Tim Hendryx went
to bat the second time in that session,
Curley thought it time to Quit. So they
sent Harbin in.
Two walks, three hits ajid an error by
Ellam gave the Pels five runs in that
inning. Hendryx drew four wide ones
and Starr scored him with a double.
After Barbare went out. Burns walked.
Then Lindsay went out ajid Sylvester hit
to Ellam, whose wild chuck to first let
Starr and Burns score and put Sylvester
on second. Bluhm’s hit scored Sylvester.
Higgins was hit by a pitched ball and
Weaver’s hit brought Bluhm in.
Covington and Tragessor got mixed on
who should take Burns’ pop-up in the
fifth and they collided, Covington drop
ping a ball that he should not have at
tempted to catch. Hits by Lindsay and
Sylvester and Higgins’ sacrifice fly gave
the Pels two more there. The eighth was
the result of Ellam’s fumble of Hendryx’s
grounder, a wild pitch and hits by Bar
bare and Burns.
The Barons missed Pete Ivnisely today.
He was on the sick list and Magee played
right field.

MOBILE WINS TWO
GAMES FROM BILLS
Mobile, June 20.—Mobile won both
games of a double header with Mont
gomery here today by a score of G to 1,

two men on followed by a successful
squeeze play gave Mobile enough runs
to win the second. Brilliant fielding by
players of both teams enlivened the
two games, which were witnessed by a

From the Angle of the Bug
By REL’REN A. LEWIS
SPEEDY Jimmy Johnston is finding
it difficult to pilfer bases in the
National with the ease experienced
in the Southern and the Pacific Coast
leagues. In 1912, Johnston stole 81 bases
in the Southern, establishing a new rec
ord. In the Pacific Coast league he
swiped 124 bases, setting a modern record
for base running. But the speedy one
has suffered a reversal with the Chicago
Cubs. In 26 games he has annexed but
three bases.
Jimmy is hardly living up to his minor
league record. His batting average has
slumped to .228. His poor hitting has
forced Hank O'Day to yank him from the
line up, Wilbur Goode and Williams serv
ing in his position. Jimmy has made
only 16 hits in 70 times at bat.
• • •
Other Southern league products are hav
ing a slim year. Rivington Bisland, star
shortstop with Atlanta last year, is swat
ting .120 for the Cleveland club. "Red”
Smith, the Brooklyn third sacker, has
slumped to the .219 mark. Derrill Pratt,
a constant .800 hitter with the Browns, is
clouting but .260. Wares, the St. Louis
Brown shortstop, who was with Mont
gomery last year, has drifted below the
.200 mark, possessing an average of .197.
A1 Demaree, the sensation of the New’
York Giants who brought the Mobile club
into prominent last season, has lost more
games this year than he did throughout
the entire 1913 season. A1 has dropped
seven games and has won but five. Pug
Cavet, the Mobile southpaw and phenom
of 1913, has won a lone game with Detroit
and has lost six. Conzelman. Hess and
Perdue are other southern products under
the .500 mark.
But while some are suffering reversals,
others are holding the spotlight. Big
Harry Covaleski, former Baron, is looked i
upon as the most dependable twirler De- |
troit possesses. The Hurling Hun has
not been scored on in 27 innings. He
has won nine games and dropped five.
Raleigh Altchison, formerly of Montgom
ery .is one of the leading twirlers in the
National. Aitchison has won five games
and lo3t tw?o for Brooklyn. Joe Boehling
of Washington has won six and lost four. {
Joe Jackson and Ernest Walker are slug
ging over the .300 mark in the American. \
Only eight are over the three-century
record, thus giving one-fourth of the
number to the Southern. In the Na
tional league Artie Phelan, Jimmy Archer, |
Bobby Byrne and Jake Daubert are .300
marksmen. Fourteen batsmen are hitting
over .300.
• * •
Walter Mayer, the quondam Birming
ham catcher, is alternating with Ray
Schalk of the Chicago White Sox. The
big receiver has participated in only 12
games and is hitting just .235. However,
with constant work, he should hit a faster
stride and hit over .260 when the curtain *
falls. On the defensive Mayer is putting
up his usual superb exhibition, many fall
ing before his whip.
But it has remained for Big Davis
Robertson, last year's phenom with Mo
bile, to spring the greatest sensation
of the year. The lanky youngster re
ported to <the Giants on June 15, from
Wake Forest college. So far Robert
son has hit .500 with the Giants and is
hailed as a wonder. Mique Finn last
year declared that Robertson was a much*
better hitter than Tris Speaker was when *
he departed for the majors. Finn was
the sponsor for both sluggers. In his
estimation Robertson is the most prom
ising young outfielder in the major show
today. He has often mentioned the fact
that he could have sold Robertson for
$10,000 last year, had not the Giants had
ap option on him.
