terry of the bullet which, without flash
or report killed Rudolph Castelhun as
he sat in an open air moving picture
theater last night. was partially cleared
up today by the report of the autopsy
surgeon who examined the wound.
The theory that the bullet was fired
from a .'noiseless" rifle at close range
was dispelled by the surgeons report.
Judging from the course of the bullet

Where They Play Toda
Birmingham in New Orleans. Nashville In Atlanta. Chattanooga in Memphis. Montgomery in Mobile.

New Orleans. April 2S.-(Special. )-The Barons jumped in and in two innings broke up the Pelicans' winning streak after they had copped eight in a row in seven playing days.
 The score was to 4, the Pels getting a look-in the last inning by rally which was helped along by one or two costly errors.
 Theodore Breitensten was the goat. Ii was the second full game Breitenstein had pitched this season and he got his in ample quantity. The Barons jumped on him for a single and a double in the first inning, which, with an error and a walk, gave them three to start with.
 That put ginger into the Baron crowd, and in the next inning they ran it up two, this time getting four hits An error and a two-bagger gave them their sixth run in the fifth inning.
 Marcan and Mcbride led in the swat ting, Marcan peeling off couple of singles and Mcbride a pair of juicy doubles. Molesworth and Mcbride were the fielding stars. Moley killed a three- bagger off Jacksons bat by going back ID the ceHleFHeQ renee ana catching one, and later he came in behind second and picked one off his shoe faces that would have scored a run.
 With one down, Molesworth went safe to second in the first inning on a high toss by Rohe. He was forced out at third by Gygli, who stole second and scored on Newtons single. McGilvray. who had walked, scored on McBride' s two-saeker
 Emory led off with single in the sec ond, but was forced out later at third Marcan, followed by Molesworths and Gygls singles tallied the two runs in this inning. :.
 All this time the Pels were helpless before Wagner. who pitched a swell article of ball from start to finish Ma hush scored the Pels first in the sixth, going safe on an error. With two down, Spencer hit safe and Manush scored
 The locals threatened to do big things in the ninth. Jackson went safe on Newton's tumble then Spencer hit a hot one to Wagner and went to second on the pitchers bad heave to first. Rohe s single through short scored both men. Hess batted for Demont and his long fly to right advanced Rohe to third. George scoring on Gribben's infie1d out Brett enstein wound it up with a grounder to short.
 Elliott caught for the Barons and made a big hit.
 Fleharty will probably pitch Friday for the Barons and Hess for the locals.

end of the double bill. Atlanta and Nashville broke even, Nashville win ming the first after going Il innings. Mobile had easy pickings with Mont somery, Chappelle doing excellent work
 The Cotton States got down to bus mess yesterday. The attendance every where was good. The prospects for the circuit are fine, and everybody is hopeful that another financial failure will not be scored.
 Walter Johnson won yesterday for Washington from Boston in an un- usual game He yielded a hat full of hits but struck out 12 men, He was very strong when men were on bases. The Washington players stung the ball, too, though it required four singles in one inning to push the winning run over. Were Johnson with a winning club he would shine with any other twirler in the majors Lord and Speak CT, as on Wednesday, hit the bulk of the hitting esterday
 Both Boston teams were licked yes terday. The two New York teams de- feated the two Philadelphia aggrega- tions. Russ Ford, incidentally. is go- ing like a house a-fire for the High ldnQerS
 Atlanta made the first triple play of the Southern league season. But there was another made yesterday aft ernoon. Brooklyn-which club, strange to state. own a game-pulled off the spectacular stunt when it's opponents were threatening to rally.
 Manager Otto Jordan issues procla- nation that the rumor CD to the ef- feet Pitcher Fisher and Catcher Smith are going to Buffalo is false. No such rumor has reached Birmingham and wouldn't have been considered if it had.
 Should the Barons lose the two games which remain of the present road trip sch hedule they will have played l".500 per cent' on the road. But they will probably get one more.
 Wagner looks better every day

l Breitenstein the hero of an hundred fights, was in poor form yesterday aft ernoon, and the Barons had little trou- ble in beating him.
 | Now will arise some wise young man in the circuit-as wise young men have done in the early days of the dozen or more preceding seasons-and de- clare that the Grand Old man" oi the Pelicans is a candidate for the select company of the Down and Out 1 ers."
 l Breitenstein, as a matter of fact, Is not IS good as some fifty-odd years ago when he was sold by St. Louis to the Cincinnati Reds for the neat lit tie fortune of $10,000. The Breiten- stein today is not the Breitenstein who when Harry Vaughn did the receiving made Redland the mightiest country of the globe. Neither is he the Breiten stein of four-even three-yenrs ago, when he walked away with the pre- mfer twirling honors of this league. But when the sun gets little warm . CT old Breitenstein will thaw out, and pitch somewonderful games in spite of the weight of three score years and ten which he so bravely bears. 
 And when Breitenstein gets tired of pitching he can go to the outfield ard deliver the goods. There are several men in the league who cannot hit as well as he and several wh know less Of the game. Breitenstein is not "all in" just yet.
 Behind that cloud of three hand running defeats there was silver lin ing after all. The victory of the Bar ons yesterday sent their stock up again and gave the local fans new life. Com modore Orcutt's matinee. filled to over | flowing during the Mobile series and l first games of the Montgomery series, slumped when the double-header was dropped to the Climbers and yesterday afternoon, on account of the first day S reverse in Pelicanville, hardly a cor poral's guard sat beneath the versatil- ity of the commodore" This after room, however, the fickle fan wIil come back no doubt for nothing is quite so good as a victory.
