Montgomery in Birmingham double headerl. Atlanta in Nashville.
 Memphis in Little Rock
 Mobile in New Orleans. ] Molesworth-that all!
 The hefty manager of the sBarons was arraved. almost single handed. against the sleeping brigade out of Montgomery He got three hits out of five efforts two of then1 being doubles; he drove in couple of runs. among which was the final and tying; he made a magnificent. running. enchanted catch of terrific drive by Hart; and by perfecttoss' Killed Kerwin at the plate.
 But his best play occurred in the ninth' when with men on first and second, he chased Dickson to the bench, and com 1nissioned schopp to preserve the ad- vantage gained in the eighth.
 And how Grant Schopp pitched! He made the Pretzels stand on their heads.
 But they tied the score and went one to the good.
 Raub threw a ball to center trying to retire Persons stealing, and Hart scored Raftis then booted an easy one oil the bat of Daley and Persons scored. Ii was no fault of Grants, nor of the manager.
 But the day was not lost even after Henline had gone out easily in the ninth Bowen crambed one into center for a sack. and Molesworth swatted fiercely to right.
 The fans held their breath while Bowen made the circuit.
 But Molesworth was allowed to die at second. and heavy clouds having gathered to obscure the field, Rudderham called the game.
 There was plenty of excitement, and the fans enjoyed themselves.
 They had the rare opportunity of being able to hammer awhile and cheer awhile. But as far as excellent baseball is con- cerned it was an absent quantity yester- day. Thomas and Dickson were exceed ingly easy. and the support of neither was good.
 The Barons are charged with two errors, each of which sent a Sleeper over the slab. and in addition, Elam let two sharply hit grounders get away from him.
 The entire Sleeper infield made errors. But the most ludicrous of all was the wild heave of Greminger to third when no Pretzel stood guard. Manuel was there, but he refrained from catching the sphere. and McGilvray. who started from first scored.
 There was considerable fielding of a bril- liant variety.
 Pope made two phenomenal stops, roo- bing Bowen and Gygli with perfect ease of two drives which were slated for trips to the tall and uncut
 Then Molesworth made his sensational enchanted running stab of Harts drive, and McGilvray drew intense applause by brilliant work on several occasions. In the first, Persons was walked. her- win beat out a bunt, and Daley dropped Texas ieaguer behind Bowen. Persons scored Rockented then singled luscious ly to right and Kerwin and Daley reg istered.
 The Barons got one in the first. Bowen was safe on Rockentield's error, went to third on Molesworths S double and scored when Pope fumbled a slow one from GygIi.
 The Sleepers came again in the third Kerwin was safe on infield hit. was sacrificed and driven home by White man.
 The Barons tied it up in the fourth Raftis opened with single to center. and Gygli beat out hit to the infield. Raul sacrificed both, and McGilvray beat out a hit to RoclSenfield. Raftis scoring Ellam then worked the squeeze" sue cessfully beating out the hit toward third In the scramble which followed Whiteman entirely disappeared, and Grem finger threw the ball over third into the bleachers McGilvray crossing the plate Dickson and Henline were easy.
 The Barons got ahead in the eighth and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. With one out Whiteman booted Raub's hit to third, and when McGilvray singled deeply to right, the runner took third ElIam arrived with the sacrifice fly tC center.
 Then came the awful ninth.
 Hart opened with single and Thoma. sacrificed him to second. Persons hi sharply to left. but Hart was held a third As Kerwin approached the sticl Molesworth commissioned Schopp to ptcf to the left-handed hitter. But Kerwir retired in favor of Shannon. a right-hand ed swatter. And then the firing began
