 Barney Sheridan, sporting editor of the Mobile Register, has found and eliminated the iinx which has been consuming the vitality of the Seaguls
 The jinx was a photograph of Barney which he was running, day by day, on the sporting page of the Register.
 It might be wise to eliminate the jinx. But at the same time. by so doing, Bar ney will remove one of the attractive features of his sporting page, and it is possible that the fans will enter a pro- test.
 As everyone knows, the people of Mo bile are a peculiar people. They are ca pablo of doing anything on the spur of the moment.
 The Nashville Tennessean in reporting a collision between McElveen of Mont gomery and Perry of Nashville in a re- cent game in Nashville, as a result of which injury Perry was forced to retire from the game, comments that the col- lison was unnecessary and would have been obviated had McElveen used the judgment of green recruit.
 It is interesting to note in this par 
 less and Ellam, which put Ellam out of the game for seven weeks and put the Barons out of the running, should have been obviated. Had Bayess slid into the bag his chances of landing safely would have been increased. And at the same time he could not possibly have done his adyer- sary ar unnecessary injury. It is strange what strength short- stop gives to team.
 Memphis lost Crandall and slumped im- mediately from first place to lowly berth in the second division. Atlanta lost Walker and hit the bottom.
 Birmingham Host Ellam and held its own. This is compliment to the spirit of the team-and to the good work of George Yantz.

 ~sThe mallest swinging Barons indulged in a fest of swats yesterday afternoon and defeated the Volunteers, led by An derson, for while, and Case, for while. by the rather well rounded score of 1S to 9
 On the Baron hill, B. Maxwell stood strong. 1t seemed that his speed was greater than ever before this season, and in his repertoire there was everything which a pitcher calls into use. At no stage of the game were the visitors dan gerous, and after the first inning there was never a doubt as to the final result.
 It was a game in which features abounded. The swatting of the Baronial contingent, the run getting of the same, and the nifty work of the local inter- gardeners enlivened the contest. Phelan and McGilvray scored three runs each and the latter in five times at the bat hammered out a couple of juicy bingles, a double from which whiskers grew, and a triple which flied over the head of Wiseman to smack the scoreboard.
 It was a great day for the fans. Hun gry and thirsty for baseball-any kind and famished for well crowned victory the representatives of the bug colony comfortably filled the ample enclosure of Rockwood. They came with bells which tangled and jarred, horns which footed without melody, and voices which by eX perience were trained for the most vo- ciferous action. The swatfest to them was more pleasing than one of the most facetious tales of that old reprobate, Straparola.

F.. Barons Take Initial Contest Easily I

Manager Molesworth doesn't know whether he is pleased or not wtth the so-called rubber ball."
 He admits that it is great help to the hitters and that the spectators, as a rule, find great pleasure in swatting games.
 But he states that the rubber balr' prevents good fielding, that the infielders are perpetually in danger of having a leg knocked off, that the judging of hits by outfielders is often impossible, that 1t is difficult to bunt perfectly, and that it robs the game of that inside work which is so much relished by the fan who understands the finer variety.
 But 1t Is very probable that the rubber ball' is here to stay.
 The Chattanooga News doesn't think the Baron team strong aggregation at all But the team will not disband.
 That paper states that the outfield this season is fifty per cent weaker than last season, that Mcbride has slowed up slightly, that Molesworth considerably more so, and that Johnston is not in Mes senger's class.
 That paper says the infield, even with Ellam out, looks as good as last season, when Emery was on third.
 That paper continues: "The pitching staff is a huge farcical joke. Trough, Kent, Tannehll, Wagner and Maxwell are very mediocre staff. Bert looks fairly good, as does Tannehill. but the others are poor. Trough especially lacks the commodity known as sand, and his very appearance bespeaks of the take me out feeling"
 We can only thank that paper for its d- compliment.
 The Chattanooga News, too, has recent ly published another remarkable state- ment. It follows: '"The Lookouts will be in second place by the Fourth of July"
 It would have not only been safer but nearer the truth had the paper used: Tt

Interest in the Getaway


 The Vols got busy the first crack out of the box. Harry Bay opened the en- gagement by hooking one of those f1oaters of Maxwell into the furthermost corner of right field He scampered around to third and scored a moment later, when one of the Baron fingers quick returns ranged high and escaped Elliott.
 But the silver lining behind the dark some cloud was soon apparent, and the Barons, assuming control in their half of the getaway, set merciless pace and won by lengths.
 "Lir' Marcan retaliated for that opening triple of Harry Bay by smashing out a home run to deep left. Phelan then fol- lowed with a bunt which he beat yard, and Molesworth followed with a double to right. With second and third oc- cupied, Mcbride cut one through Smith, on which Phelan and Molesworth count ed Large William McGi1vray was un- able to resist the temptation and he crammed one through second, on which Mcbride counted.
 About this time "Wingo" Anderson fig ured that he had received enough for one afternoon, and as Manager Schwartz gently encouraged him to do so, he walk ed from the field before Baron was down.
 Succeeding the stricken captain, Charlie Case pranced into the field He got away without a scratch in the first, but had he been aware of the fate In store for him, he would have, no doubt, insisted that some of his brethren share the punish- ment.
 Case of the. "How Many?"
 After the first, the question was low many"
 Following a couple of swats in the second which amounted to nothing, the Barons punched out three bngles for two runs in the third. In the fourth the Barons turned on poor old Case with their eyes bloodshot, and beating him from top to bottom and back again. showed over three additional runs on a quintette of smashes. In the fifth, be- cause Lindsay intercepted terrific drive of Marcan the Barons were quenched without run and with but one swat. But In the sixth, even though Bay did rob "Rowdy' Elliott of a near home run, the Barons by timely swat ting and clever base running in which Johnston showed his value pushed over another trio of tallies In the seventh.
