USSIER A little rain, a little sunshine—and then more rain. This was enough to put the kibosh to the aspirations of the Barons and Travelers to stage the second game of the present series at Rickwood Field yesterday afternoon, and several hun dred of the eternal feminine, powdered their noses while the rain—rained. In the midst of the shower Umpire Rud derham announced that the miniature lake on the playing Held precluded the game being played and that a double header would be staged this afternoon. The first game would begin at 2:1G o’clock. Game Postponed After the announcement of Umpire Rudderham the ladies displayed rare agility in running from the exits of Rickwood to the waiting street cars. Far-sighted male persons who had been through the experience of a rainy aft ernoon at the ball park had taken the precaution of occupying all the vacant seats on the waiting cars and their “chivalry” did not go unrewarded as like the graceful gazelle which leapt from crag to crag, ladies young and old sidestepped from one puddle to an other in their endeavor to reach the shelter of the cars. This was keen amusement to the “hard-ankles” in the car seats and their chortles of joy gave every indication that the back of their necks would serve excellently the pur poses of sandpaper. There were other petty annoyances at Rickwood Field yesterday afternoon, such as the lightning Hashes darting promiscuously through the grandstand vhile the storm was at its height, but the crowd—like all Birmingham crowds —took everything good naturaly. How ever, the actions of the “chivalrous courtiers” in the ear seats who laughed so heartily at the predicament of the ladies caught in the rain was slighty more than annoying—to the ladies. But why harp about the infirmities of a few? Ret us have food for tno fans. In the first place President W. D. Smith of the Birmingham Baseball as sociation announced that today would bo “Merchants’ Day” at Rickwood, Proxy Smith anticipates that upwards of 1000 of the visiting merchants will at tend this afternoon’s double header. In cidently the visitors have all promised to root hard for the Barons. Barons Should Win As to the Barons, a little bird has whispered that they are due to win an other double bill. “Dick” Robertson, the champion hard luck hurler of the league, will in all probability pitch the first game and Carlo Black, sometimes known as “Loudenslager the Great,” will twirl the second affair. The artil lery artists for the Travelers have not as yet been selected—but It is proba ble that Omar Hardgrove, a former Baron, will work in one of the games. Hardgrove's pitching since leaving the Barons has been fairly successful, which goes to prove the ancient base ball adage that a change in uniform brings back at least some of the for mer effectiveness of any player. “We are just about due to break our batting slump," said Manager Molesworth, last night, “and when we do some of these visiting teams will be out of luck. 1 hope the ‘break’ comes in the double header with the Travel ers.” The fans are also wishing the same thing, which makes it about unaimous, and this coupled with the cheers of the visiting merchants ought to pull a double victory this afternoon at Rick w-ood. !

Husband Has Difficult Job London, August 16.— (Special.)—Of all the many millionaires produced by the gold and diamond mines of South Africa, probably no one has enjoyed more real popularity in England than hap Sir Abe Bailey. Aside from his personality, that is largely due to his love of sport, especially of the nation al English game of cricket, and to his munificent support of the game in South Africa. Sir Abe, who fought in the Boer war, is now serving with the South African forces in their campaign against German Southwest Africa. He holds the rank of major and Is dep uty assistant quartermaster general, a post of heavy responsibilities In a cam t>aign carried on thousands of miles fiom a base and through country al most completely devoid of food and win ter. Lady Bailey, needless to say, is not accompanying her husband. She has become one of the most popular and lavish of the hostesses of Johannes burg. Before her marriage she was the Hon. Mary Westenra, daughter of Load Roasmore, one of the most picturesque of Irish peers who recently published an Interesting book of recollections. - v ' ,(V:./ ■:. ar'i .w. WYMAN AND FOSTER DEFEAT OTNENTS Robertson-Turner Play Good Game—Large Gallery Sees Play Some of the best and longest matches of the tourney took place yesterday when the second round of the boys’ tennis tour nament now being held on the Birming ham Athletic club courts. Probably the best match of the day took place between Robertson-Turner and Walker-Jackson. It took five sets to decide which team would be eliminated, the former being the lucky pair. Wyman and Foster played a great game and had an easy time in eliminating Blake and Cook, who played erratic through- j out. Cook played much the better game! and with a suitable partner could put! up a good fight. Simpson and McCul- | lough proved to be the “wonders” of, the day. The 'drivers’ had everything! their way and the “Mutt and Jeff’’—Eg gleston and Lay” of the tournament were easily eliminated. McCoy and Davis sprung the only sur- | prise of the day when they put Wood lawn out of the race In defeating Sijnp son and Townsend in a strong fight. Smith and Steinmehl, picked to win the honors, disposed of Long and Brooks in three fine sets. Both teams played a driving game, which afforded some of the best net playing during the day. The winners showed great form and placed, great confidence in their followers. Only two matches are scheduled for today. Smith and R. Steinmehl will meet Harrison and H. Steinmehl, while Simp son and McCullough will play McCoy and Davis. The play yesterday was witnessed by an extra large gallery, practically the largest of the tournament. A great deal of interest is being shown by the boys which points to the unquestionable suc cess of the tournament. On Thursday night a meeting will be held at the Athletic club and an attempt to form a tennis association will be made. All boys and tennis admirers in the city Fire invited to attend. Everyone will be welcomed. Officers will be elected and other business matters taken up. F. J. B. ALLEN DEVOTING TIME TO YOUNGSTERS Ward and Roth Receiving Tryout Great Prospect The Travelers, conceded to be out of the running. Owner Bob Allen is using the latter part of the season in experi menting with youngsters. And in the youthful Shortstop Ward, Allen be Icves he has a likely infielder. Ward was signed after a season in the South east Arkansas league and has been used in a fewr games recently. Ward is one of the youngest player* in the Southern, as he is just 19 years old. Bob Allen is sincerely struck with i;is prospect Mid has asked Molesworth to pass judgment on the kid, who w'ill probably get Into one of the games this afternoon. While he is still nervous at the bat, the Little Rock mogul believes that this will wear off. Another youngster, with whom the Travelers are experimenting, is Virgil Roth, a young southpaw. Roth was signed by Bobby Gilks when he was manager of the Montgomery team and had a short tryout. He had another trial last spring in Little Rock, but was sub sequently farmed out to the South At lantic league. Roth twirled against the Crackers during the last series and is scheduled to oppose the Barons If he la worked in turn. Roth is regarded as a lad of promise. RED’S COMMENT ON THE AMATEURS The Frisco nine has issued a challenge to any amateur baseball team in Birming ham for a game. Call Main 7016. * * * The postoffice “Pirates” ha^e cinched the pennant in the Greater Birmingham league. • • • Strickland-Green in the Commercial league is still slumping. • • • Rasco Jewelry company cinched the pen nant in the City league Saturday, when they won a double bill from Wahouma Drug company. * • • The way in which some of the would-be tennis sharks slam the ball—sometimes a block away—forces us to advise them to sign up with Harris Transfer or Strick land-Greene, as neither of these ama teur teams have any limit to their hit ting. * • • “Monk” Olmstead may be a great ball player, but he certainly is ott when it comes to playing tennis. "Monk” and his partner were eliminated the first lay. But it takes more than that to put him out of the running when it comes to slamming the pellet. • • • The proposed tennis association Is in every respect a great idea. It will do the boys all kinds of good, as well as to form a meeting place for the racquet wlelders during the winter months. • • • Judging from the crowds that have been attending the boys’ tournament, if the matches were held on Saturday when baseball has full swing, the attendance at the national pastime would be consider ably lessened.

GUARDS THE HOT CORNER _FOR THE TRAVELERS ! -» BAKER; l—. .■ “Rowdy” Baker, the walloping third baseman of the Arkansas aggregation, does not come by his name through his acts of lawlessness on the diamond or off. Indeed, his Billiken smile does pot lie about his sunny nature. He leaves the “grump’’ work to be done by his side kick toward second base, Tom Downey. “Rowdy" is so-called because of his swag ger and his more than occasional rough ness with the well-known ball. “Home-Run” Baker, after the original third-basing Frank Baker, is another of •••••••••«••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••■•••••• GIANTS IN CELLAR — Boston Braves Again Win Over Pirates—Phillies Are Defeated STANDING Played.

Roy Norton May Enlist London, August 22.—(Special.)—Ro; Norton, who has been turnijpg ou such a lot of work down at Torquay o: late, says that he wouldn’t be a bit sur prised if he Jolly well went and enlistee pretty soon. Norton is an American, o course, and over age to boot, but no doub a little additional Actioning on those tw< points would not troub’e him greatly. A Torquay he Is close to Paignton, where in Paris Singer’s fine mansion, the Amer lean Women's War hospital, one of thi most perfectly equipped in the country is situated. I fancy it Is what he has seei there, as well as the example of a lo of his old pals here that has made th< author of “The Boomers" want to “joii up.” One may mention, by the way. tha the wounded men at Paignton have Nor ton to thank for more than one .welconn gift in the way of smokes, etc. Headshields for French Paris, August 22.—(Special.)—Pending thi manufacture of the new steel helmet for the French army, 700,000 steel head shields have been sent to the front This is the only species of armor tha the soldiers have been permitted to use as the cuirasses, chest protectors, heai protectors, coats of mail and buckler, that were offered proved to be almost ai dangerous as the enemy’s bullets. Th* headshield, however, as it is used, wai recently proved by statistics to have savec a great many llvea. Rowdy’s cognomens. He takes a healthy swing and when he connects has been known to hit with- a vengeance. The longest swat made on Kavanaugh Athletic Field, a homer over the left held fence, which traveled 385 feet before alighting, was done by Baker. Baker fields his position well, lacking perhaps the careful accuracy of his prede cessor, Bill Elwert. but covering more ground and turning close plays in the direction of the Traveler defense by means of a bullet-like whip.
