Tlynn Nice Boy Johnson Clever
Fighter*—What Jeffries Says
By H. M. Walker.
LoS ANGELES, May 31 .Jim
Jeffries. with his usual frozen
front, refuses to be quoted in
connection with the Jack Johnson-
Jim Flynr. fixity. I've trailed the
big fellow pretty closely of late,
but all that could be gotten out of
him was. a mumble or two and a
bored look.
"Curley good fellow. Flynn nice
boy. Johnson clever fighter. Don’t
know who will win Sympathies all
with the white man." was Jeff’s
grunted statement when it eniße
down to a question of talking or
tossing somebody through the
door.
This is Jim's idea of giving a
clean billing to the I. ts Vegas lime.

zxWEN MORAN has been too
N-' long at the boxing game to dis
regard the value of the "alibi."
' The English chap drawls out an
explanation of his Syracuse reverse
to the effect that Charley White
hutted him so badly that it was
necessary to scatter a few stitches
over his face.
’ A trifle lame, this excuse, but we
may as well let Moran limp away
With it. What Charley White did
to the Britisher is of no impor
tance. The question now is what
will brother Jack White hand to
Owen when the two boxers meet
in the Vernon ring one week from
this afternoon.
Ought To Be on a Cot—Yes?
We are told that Moran's hair
is streaked with gray; that he

Os Course Visitors Piled Victory and Tie on Tuesday's 2 Wins, But—
BARONS, THOUGH STRONG, NO WORLD-BEATERS
By Percy Fl. Whiting.
MOLEBWORTH and his Bar
ons have departed, the rich
er for the trip here by three
games won ''and one tied. They
won the third yesterday. 9 to 2.
and tied the fourth, ’ 2 to 2, and
they they beat It.
It was a profitable trip, and they
were duly elated.'
Now that the Moleswofth .bri
gade is gone,' it Is worth while to
ponder a minute, on this bunch.
They were the consensus pick for
the Southern pennant winners.
They now lead the league. And
they have just taken three and tied
one out of four from the Hemphill
ites, just when said H'ites were pre
sumed, on the strength of four
straight victories over the Mobile
Gulls, to be "going good."
Let's have a look at these Bar
ons, position by position, and see
what It is that makes them great:
CATCHERS -Yantz and Dilger.
They are a fair lot, but nothing
stupendously spertaculAr. Yantz
is over.short to be a great catcher.
Both mean well and are up to the
average.
PIT! ’HERS Prougli, Fox en.
Boyd, Smith and Hardgrove. A
useful- bunch, but no world beat
ers. Plough looked good last
year. Foxen couldn't win for At-
lanta, but did fairly well when he
was turned fiver to Birmingham.
He doesn’t look like a pitcher, but
is effective this year. The other
three are fair—but no wonders.
INFIELD—BiII McGilvray is a
good., husky first baseman, of good
size and fair batting ability. He is
up to the average. Marcan. at sec-
ond, is a very light hitter, but a
useful man. and likely to get on
bases with the least possible provo
cation. EHam is a useful citizen —-
no great hitter, it is true, but a
fine fielder. Almeida, on the form
shown in Atlanta, is a big leaguer.
They say he plays only when the
notion strikes him. Well, it must
have hit him a tremendous wallop
Just before he reached Atlanta.
Better work around, third base
hasn’t been seen since, let's see—
well, in the very clicked* of a while,
at least.
OUTFIELD—McBride is a useful
player, though not spectacular.
Jimmy Johnston is playing perhaps
a shade above his usual form this
year, hut at worst he is a hustler.
Messenger, in right, is fast, a fair
hitter, and a good performer in
every way—one of the top-notch
outfielders of the league, in fact.
On the whole, the outfield is strong,
without being sensational.
UTILITY MAN—Carroll showed
a lot of stuff here, and seems to be
a likely performer.
And there you have it—a fco< d,
useful team, the best in the league
as things stand now; yet not a
team of overwhelming strength.
Ant one of two or three teams in
the league can beat it with a little
strengthening.

\ V HA T impresses one about the
Barons Is their blooming en
thusiasm. Just to look at Moles
worth. one wouldn't pipe him off
is a great l°adei. In his playing
days wt> sized him up as a quiet,
reserved, self-possessed, rather
morose little, fat man. If a body
had assured us that he could in
spire ball players to play their
heads off for him. we should have
doubted it. Yet here he bobs un
the same anomalous critter—a. mo
roge fat man—with a ball team
playing like wild Indians behind
him.
Enthusiasm. willingness, zip.
pepper, inspiration, good fellow
ship and a general all-pull-togeth
cr-and - never-sat-die spirit is what
has put the Birmingham team on
the map. The guy who character
ized them as the “college ball club
of the league" wasn't far wrong.
Their enthusiasm is that of col
lege men and not of hired-by-the
month professionals.
A BOUT yesterday’s ball games
x there isn't so ven- much that
is in need of telling. As usual with
nine-inn.ng doubleheaders there was
a lot tor. much of them. But the
crowd was big. and the folks stuck
through. In the first game the
Barons found Dessau no puzzle
whatever. Somehow the good old
right-hander didn't have it—mean
ing curves and assorted stuff, or
els'e the Barons had too much—
meaning batting ability. Anyhow,
it worked out the same in the end.
and thev isitors, by dint of making
15 hits for 22 bases and taking ad
vantage of six bases on balls, had a
.soft time of it.
In the second game, with Tom
my Atkins pitching, the Barons
found themselves, for the first time

ting for Atkins, grounded to
Prough, nearly knocking a finger
off the Baron pitcher, but enabling
the visitors to retire East at the
pan. Bailey hit a long fly. on which
O’Brien scored. Ganley had an op
portunity of a lifetime, but Prough
had something on him. and the
game ended with a pop-up. Ow
ing to the rapid approach of night,
the contest was then called, with
the score tied in a knot, which will
not be untied until the Barons are
here in July.
