BARONS SLAUGHTER
 ATLANTA CRACKERS

summer, and one inning plays the
 Full sized ball game.
 That being true in the fourth the
 Barons proceeded to walk into the
 pitchers box, knock young Leo down,
 sit on his face, and pummel his
 stomach into jelly. The one Baron run
 in the fourth was attributable to hits
 by Walters and Houtz, an error by Bill
 Dyer and a base on balls extended to
 Meek.
 In the fifth Winters second error, l sacrifice by Demont, and successive 1 doubles by Reagan and Walters hung up two more scores.
 In the sixth Houtz was walked, went | to second on out, and scored on 1 Raub's magnificent triple to deep left Demont's second hit of the afternoon scored Raub.
 In the seventh there was no scoring
 and MT. Walsh thought that he was go- ing at great rate of speed. But he woke up in the eighth. In the last inning for the Barons Meek, with one ; down. singled to left and scored on Downey's screaming double to the same territory. Demont's third hit of the sultry afternoon scored the peppery AAi .si1oWity. btHc WAS caught DldylnE marbles around the first corner, and this out retired the side to the delight of MT. Walsh.
 The Crackers played their best in the ! ninth, after their hope was dead with it's toes to the daisies. After Fox had made an easy out over the AblesM Meek route, sleepy Ed Hurl- burt singled to left and was compelled
 to take third when Castro doubled to center. MeMurray, hitting for Walsh. singled to right, Hurlburt reluctantly tallied, and Castro followed suit when Manning cut loose to safe territory in the central station. But Winters swung three times and found nothing to land against, and Becker's magnifi- cent drive to Silent Lew Walters re- tired the side and sent the sultrv aft , ernoon into history
 Seriously, there were several features
 to the game In the third Lew Wal
 ters pulled dowa a screaming drive off
 the bat of Billie Dyer, which was
 cause enough for the fans to demand
 the removal of Lew's headpiece l- Gene Demont made a very pretty
 double of Fox and Hurlburt in the 1 sixth, and hit like a fend throughout
 the engagement.
 Harry Ables struck out nine men and didn't half try. And there is much
 else in addition, all of which is con- tained in

It is feather in the Darons cap, the practical winning of three straight games from Atlanta.
 For that second game. in all respects save the result. was Birmingham's, for the Barons until the fatal ninth played the Crackers off their feet.
 The Barons in the Atlanta series showed great hitting ability, speed on the paths and good nerve. The team work was not the best, but it was good for this early date,
 In the pitching department. the Barons showed up the Crackers in the three final games And it must be remembered that these games were pitched by new mate rial-McNeal, Fleharty and Ables.
 The three youngsters delivered the goods in swell packages, and made ex- cellent starts. It is just barely possible that the work of these new men caused some of the older heads to seriously con- sider

POINTERS ID RANDOM
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS.

When the Barons, after dropping three straight games to Montgomery, left the Capital City, the scrbes of Sleepyland expressed their belief that in no manner could Vaughn's men compare with those of Jimmy Ryan.
 Inasmuch as there Is absolutely no doubt but that the Barons can favorably compare with the Pretzels, and as it is almost certain that the locals will beat them out in the pennant race, the ut terances of the Montgomery scribes will be proved absurd
 We do not wish to make the same mis- take in a criticism of the Atlanta out fit. A series lost does not denote an all
 round deficiency on the part of any team. | However 1t is our candid belief that Birmingham compares favorably with Alt , lanta and that the Crackers are decidedly weaker than last season. We are led to express this belief on account of Atlanta's admitted weakness in the backfeld.
 McMurray in spite of the fact that he is full of pepper, and tries hard as any other man, is too light for Southern league timber.
 Hurburt, in spite of his size, and his latent ability, will not be able, on account of his disinclination to work to buoy up the team. He lacks the strength of Sid Smith and the willingness and cheerfuness of Ed Sweeney. In rpte of the fact that Birmingham utterly crushed Atlantas star pitchers. Ford and Castleton, it must not be con- sidered that these two are "all in" On the contrary both are stars. But it 's a question of much dispute as to whether or not Atlanta will be strong in the pitchings department as last season.
 In spite of Percy Whiting, we are un- able to see wherein Atlanta is as strong as were the Crackers of last year, and doubt to an indefinite degree their ability to again win the rag of Dixie's great major.

Inasmuch as the Barons had Wednes- days game sewn up, it is sad that they didn't swing to that which they had.
 Had this game been landed, the Barons would now have a percentage of .500. However that is ''spilt milk" and must be forgotten.
 It is now up to the fans to pull for the locals while they are on foreign ter ritory. If a good showing is made in .ashville and Atlanta enough games will be won on their return home to boost their average to the 300 mark before time for taking the western trail rolls round.

 wash ington, Dec. 2.--The annual re- port of Admiral ". L. Capps. chieI constructor of the navy, is very large ly devoted to a review of the navy over the plans for the battleships North Dakota and Delaware. e,.iss
 Admiral Capps disposes of various phases of criticisms that have beep made of the plans by declaring thaa the recommendations for Congress made by the Newport conference re- lated only to minor details over which there naturally would be differences of opinion and improvement from time to time, ,ss...
 Estimates for the construction and repair. of vessels at navy yards and on foreign stations amount to t9&ssA0sIlS, which is an increase of Ss4e,1IS oyer the appropriations of the current ns. cal year sA
 ThS amount estimated for increase of the navy, construction and maehin- cry" for work for new weagels author iEed by Congress is $14.5407so. the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year being SI2.ss3.9e9.
 For continuing work on submarine torpedo boats the construction, and limit of cost of which already have been authorized by Congress an esti- mate is made of $1.s0O, 900. the amount appropriated for the current year boz | inE SSseo0,0oo and for work on two fleet coiliers, ''h eretofore authorized, the i estimate is $2.100,000, the appropria- | ton for the current year being sl,500.- 600. @
 Admiral .Capps refers to the lack of | adeq1afe working facilities at.many of the navy yards for ships under repair | and says this condition continues to embarrass the bureau and prevent the l prompt and economical performance of work.
 4 strong recommendation Is made in favor of limiting the extent to which old vessels are modernized. He says il | is believed it would be more aavan- tageous to expend money in the con- struetion of vessels in the latest de- sign.

Pensacola. Fla, Dec e.--(special)--- In talk before the Chamber of Com merce t,l6.y United States Senator James g sraliaferro, who Is en route to W, sssengton, told the members or that ss4y that of all their plans the efforis % secure a graving dock Tor the Pensacola navy yard Is the most feasible and urged upon the members the necessity of centering all efforts In that direction
 In explanation of why he is sanguine that with proper efforts such can be secured he stated that two years ago the late Senator Mallory. had secured aan amendment to the general appro- 2 ipriation bili carrying with 1t an appro- priation of $2.e00.000 for such dock. ; The House would not agree to such an amendment. and it was referred back to the Senate. The latter de- eliDed to strike of the item without the consent of Senator Mallory. and this was finally done by a promise that the next session would provide for such q dock.
 Senator Taliaferro now urges every effort towards this end and has offered to do everything in his power to get the dock.
