every stage of yesterdays game. Moles-

duence of which the locals got away
with the big end of the argument. the
score being 4 TO in their favor.
The last week of practice has brought
the Barons out wonderfully. In the
field yesterday afternoon they showed
mid-season form. They played a per-
feet fielding game and many difficult
est precision. Judging from the brand
of goods handed out, the slagtown
players are rapidly coming around to
form and in another week the team
should be in capital shape.
The locals had shade the better of
the argument throughout the game yes
terday afternoon. While two errors
on the part of the Cubs coming in
quick succession in the eighth inning
marred the contest to large degree
and considerably swelled the majority
of the Barons in the run column,
Moley's pitchers kept their hits well
scattered and the Cubs had very lit
tie chance.
The distinct feature OF the game was
the hitting of Marcan. The Baron
second bassman hit safely four times
out of four times at the bat, one of
the safe ones being a three ba gger to
deep right field. Luck was with the
player however. The correctness of

striking precious close to foul terri
tory at third base. Umpire Chestnut
called 1t fair, however. Marcan's sec
ond hit was the three Dagger to right
field. The other two were singles to
right.
Pitcher Lou Bauer did some batting
opposing sharpshoot twice and raped
the sphere safely an equal number of
times. Both of the hits were clean
singles to right field.
Manager Molesworth's three Dagger
was a beauty. too. Moley placed the
ball squarely between the right and
center folders and it stopped mighty
close to the ball park boundary line.
This hit was a run-getter. Marcan

On the Cubs team, Tony Smith, at
short, was decidedly the star of the
game. Smith not only played bril-
liant tlll In the field but he got a
two Dagger and a single out of four
times at bat.
Holman played a nice game at third

only run the Cubs managed to push
across the plate.
With reference to the pitchers. Kroh
