Mobile. May 7.-(Special )-The Mo- bile Seagulls travelled over 800 miles from Birmingham to Mobile and back again over Sunday just to hand the athletes from the smoky city a base ball game--for that's exactly what they die this afternoon al Monroe park, when the Barons came out on the long end of a , to 1 victory.
 Mobile had bad day in the field, or rather Charlie Seitz did, and a bunt and 8 wild heave paved the way to the Barons' victory as they would have had trouble beating Billy Campbell who returned to the mound after an illness of two weeks and showed that he has lost rcne of his old stuff He was taken out in the seventh to let Newton hit for him in pinch. It was done to try and bring in some runs and not because of any failure of Campbell to deliver the goods as he was master at all stages, as is shown by the three runs tallied in the third inning by the Parons wiihcut anything that looked like a base hit.
 For Birmingham the Mutt and Jeff" battery Through and ElliotD perform ed and the lanky twirler pitched good ball. five hits one of them a scratch, being all the Gulls could do. Bayless' sneak over5ihe rightfield fence in the first inning was the only time the Gulls negotiated the circuit, although they roasted on the sacks on several occa- sions and roasted is good, as they failed to get the rest of the way around, due to the effective pitching of the lean one in the pinches.
 ln the way of fielding fss lures, Hyde1 Barr the latest Baron atquisi- tion, and Clyde Mcbride starred. al- though the catch of the former which was turned into a double play was by far the most sensational seen on the local ,iot this season. The whole Bir- 7 mihgham team played jam-up baseball behind Trough and had 1t not been for this fact. probably a different story would now he told but the eight Barons cut off what looked like base hits at several times.
 Mobile, as stated above, scored its one and only tally in the first inning when Bayless connected for homer over the rightfield fence.
 lead of one run looked pretty good with Billy Campbell showing his old form in the box, but it looks like the dope reads nothing but defeats for Mobile on the Sabbath. In the third inning spasm occurred and resulted in three Baron runs Moey, first up. stroled Phelan laid down a bunt which Dunn feded in plenty of time to throw the runner out but Fox failed to cover first and both were safe. Mcbride laid down another bunt which Campbell fielded to Seitz, but fhe third-sacker let the throw get away and all hands were safe. McGilvray hit to Seitz and he threw several feet wide of the plate and Moley and Phelan scored Barr flew out to left and Mcbride scored from third. Swacina had an excellent chance to tie the contest up in the fourth, but Hyder Barr got in the way of the dcings with his gloved hand and turned what looked like a two-base hit into double play. Seitz opened with a hit to short which he had beat out but Yantz threw wild and he took second Swacina hit one on line to deep right and Seitz started for the plate, Barr running at full tilt, stuck up his gloved hand speared the ball and with perfect throw doubled Eeitz at second.
 Again in the seventh the Barons scored another run on two hits, Yantz snglng and riding home on Proughs clean two bagger to right center. The Barons scored
