ELECTRIC TRUCKS ;| Toronto SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION STAGING A GREAT RACE BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, May 25—The race they are having in the Southern Association these days is so exciting that the fans down that way are beginning to view affairs in the so-called big leagues N more than tolerance. Atlanta rammed its way back to the top in the week’s work, but the big demonstration was staged by Mobile, which climbed from seventh place into the first division, finishing with a percentage of .500. The team that Mobile used as a stepping-stone was Little Rock, which still is a little stunned at its doormat experiences. Birmingham found the pace too hot for the time being, but probably will come back. Its a great race, with one team boasting 22 victories, one 21, and four 20. Baltimore Still Ahead. In the International League the Baltimore club lost some of its lead to the rest of the circuit, but still is out in front. The event of the week was the trans. fer of the Newark club to Providence, When the International had to get out of Newark it lost one of the best hase ball cities In the minor classification. The manner in which Newark has been triffied with is not especially creditable”to base ball. Providence hiud been long without high class base ball, and may respond to it, but it is o handicap to start with a team that in low in the race. The same four clubs finished the week in the -first division, though advanced over Buffalo and Jersey City to second place. In the American Association, St. Paul crowded Minneapolis out of the lead. Both St. Peul and Milwaukee gave Minneapolis one of the most un- comfortable weeks a ball club could lance from the second division quarter. SOME BATTLES STAGED BY THE SANDLOT TEAMS| W a six-inning contest at Phillips Park. Dominican Lyceum tossers opened their schedule with a 14-to-6 win in a clash with the Apaches Athletic Club team that went seven frames, while Silver Spring invaded the Georgetown Hollow and trounced the Knickerbockers, 4 to 2, in six innings. Union Printers outclassed Benning, 11 to 2, in a tfit that went the full distance, and the ambitions Congress Heights nine took both halves of a double-header, winning from the East- ern Athletic Association, 8 to 7, and handing a 9-to-5 setback to Barber & Ross. Down Alexandria way the naught clubmen battled to a 4-te-4 deadlock with the District champion Shamrocks, while the Cardinals drop- ped an eight-inning fray with the Comforter club of Washington by a count of 9 to 3. Dread- Wesley Athletic Club trounced the Marine Barracks nine, 12 to 4, in an eight-inning fray. With Laycock on the mound the Arliggton Athletic Club had little dif- ficully winning from the Pullman nine, 12 to 2. McLean clubmen scored only two hits off the siants of Corcoran, Cher- rydale hurler, when the Cherries were victorious, 12 to 1. Maryland Park continued its un- broken string of victories by defeating Brightwood, 4 to 2, at Handley Field in a seven-inning game. Harry Ede- lin of Seat Pleasant, Md., Hyattsville 809-F-3, wishes to book a strong un- limited team for the first Sunday in June. Modocs made their wins five straight when the Hess Seniors were defeated, 6 to 4. Smith of the Hessmen con nected three times in four trips to the plate. Park Athletic Club handed a 5-to-3 setback to the Hilltops. Yorke Preps scored a 6-to-1 victory at the expense of the Rialto Juniors. ! Addison Athletic Club tossers de- feated the team representing Engine Company No. 5, of Alexandria. Undefeated tional Midgets of Alexandria fell before the Harp Mid- gets, 28 to 3, and made the Harps list of ctories 13 straight. Cissel and O’Connor each connected for two home runs, while Bailey and O’'Donnell reg- istered one each. Peerless tossers defeated the Har- lows, 11 to 2. Earles nosed out the Shawnee Preps, 11 to 9, in a 6-inning game. Arrows outclassed the Swanee Mid- gets, 12 to 6. After losing to the Eastern Mid- gets, 11 to 10, the Moses nine shut out the Hartfords, 14 to 0. Metropolitan Bank tossers yesterday defeated the F. H. Smith Co. nine, 19 to 12, at American League Park. “Snitz” Nau, former star of the Pet- worth team, is_aiding Pop Kremb in coaching the Liberty Athletic Club nine.

It is not surprising that St. Paul got to the top, for in a race where .588 and .40G represented the high and | the low in percentages, almost any-| thing can happen. The Columbus club, which has been drifting more or less steadily back, finally hit bottom, Louisville got back into the first division and it will not be easy to keep that team out of the topliners. Springfleld took a big spurt in the Eastern League, piling up six victories to_one defeat. The Worcester club has changed hands and will become an annex of | the Beston Braves. Close Race in Western. In the Western League, which is another of the close-race circuits, Denver got to the front again and St. Joseph, which rode on the driver's seat for a time, ix back in the second division. It seems out of the question to keep Lincoln out of the battle, and Tulsa, now that it has got into the first division, refuses to yleld its place. Oklahoma City climbed into the first division, giving the Ol State quite a standing in the race.

LONDON, May 25.—Britishers are looking_forward to the classic mile and a half race for the derby stakes over the. historic course at Epsom Downs, to be run Wednesday. Derby day always is the most color- ful of the Summer racing events, not even excepting Ascot week, and the prospects of fine weather held out by the meteorological experts promises to make the 1925 running among the most picturesque in the series. From the point of view of the mere connofsseur of racing flesh, however, the race is not likely to be so inter: esting, for the vear's entries are ad- mittedly below the usual standard. Lord Astor's Cross Bow and H. E. Morriss’ Manna, which took the lead the betting last week, are still the avorites today at 5 to 1. Capt. Jefferson Davis Cohn's Ptol- emy II, although he arrived from France in the greatest of splendor last week, will be unable before he goes to the starting post to overco the unfavorable impression created by his loss of the French 2,000-guinea race, and is quoted at 10 to 1 against. Lord Derby's Conquistador, another early favorite, also is quoted at 10 to 1. For the first time in several years, one of the King’s horses, Runnymede, is conceded more than an outside chance at the coveted honor, and although only quoted at 100 to 6, he has been figured by a number of ex- perts to place at least : The American interests in the event are represented by A. K. Macomber’s Sirdar, which is considered an out- sider. © He will be ridden by Frank O'Nelil, American jockey, who has had much success on the French turf. Steve Donohue, England’s star ridre, will have the leg-up on Manna. while the American jockey, George Archibald. will ride Priory Park, own- ed by a Chichester butcher, and upon which, at long odds, nearly every man, woman and child in Chichester has placed something from & penny up. BAN CAUSES CANCELING OF BARRACKS FIGHTS Boxing bouts Washington have becn the ruling of District Attorney Pey- ton Gordon, who cites the show as violation of the District of Columbia law prohibiting prize fighting.

The Biological Survey calls atten- tion to the fact that in perpetuating this noble species of American {Zame it now becomes possible to use lan_annual surplus heads and hides, as by-product. Proper wild life administration includes calling the matter of the surplus to the attention of sportsmen and others who might be interested, to the end that persq wishing buffalo trophies or meat |even live animals may know where |they may be had. | Many of the surplus buffulo are lused alive by transporting them to other suitable areas for restocking purposes or for exhibition in public parks, and in similar ways. A lim- ited number not suited to or required for these purposes will be slaughtered each year and used as meat. The b, products are available for those | siring buffalo trophies and are offered for sale by the Biological Survey at $35 to $60 each for heads; and $40 1o $80 each for robes suitable for rugs or coat Live buffalo, well-developed young animals, suitable for exhibition and breeding purposes, are offered at $115 each, crated and loaded on the cars at Hot Springs, S.

There are also a number of surplus elk on these two reservations which the bureau has arranged to sell at $65 per head, crated and loaded on the cars.
