HAT THE BARONS HAVE DONE
 AND PROSPECTS FOR PENNANT
BY COLE E. MORGAN

lmained at a standstill. Birmingham
 picked up practically all that Mobile
 Montgomery and Memphis lost. Bir-
 mingham's squirt was the real feature
 of the month.
 The Barons had been playing 'eVeh lball', the first three months and, stood inst where a squirt would count. That team's variation from April b 70 July l15 was only b points, when the team dropped to .491 June 15 and rose to .5o6 July D. o.
 Montgomery, after making a squirt of 69 points the second month, has been un- able to make any headway since that time On the contrary, the Billikens have slumped 20 points in two months, nfop- ping off + the past month. Montgomery is still in the one two, three class ] Nashville after making a magnificent climb of 95 points the second and third months played practically at a standstili the fourth period. The third month was Nashville's best. The Vols gained 6s in that period For two months Nashville has stuck to the first division.
 Chattanooga, always within reaching distance, has a hard time putting it's feet on the 5O0 mark. On June .15 the Look outs stood at .4S1; July 15, at .i94, end August 15, at .491. Chattanooga looks like a confirmed second dlVlSlOn tediii, us- spite it's preseason prospects and prom ises.
 Memphis managed to lose points more the fourth month than it gained the third month, and is now just little worse or than two months ago, when it's disastrous ltoboggan slide of 120 points in month had occurred. The Turtles do not beHe the name, when slowness is considered.
 Mobile, in seventh place, is like pat- ent with malignant fever. The Gulis "temperature' has been lowering between APO and .43o for two months. There seems to be only enough vitality to keep the team alive.
 And last. last, last is Atlanta. Ihe Crackers were really ashamed to go any lower the fourth month than they hau gotten the third, but somehow dldn nave the energy to climb up. With .5i2 on July 15, and .S71 on August 15. there IS not enough difference to make distlnclion' Atlanta can now hardly hope for better than eighth place when the season winds up. Anyhow, the local team can't Chmp above seventh.

New Orleans Item: Birmingham fans are getting away with lot of talk about
 pennants and championships at the pres-
 ent stage of the game and are evidently
 unaware that they're in grave danger of
 losing second place, which they hold today
 by the narrow margin of one game and a fraction.
 The Barons are breeding along expect-
 ing to overtake the Pelicans in the stretch, but they.Ilave no pacers or coach CTS alongside the track to tell them how close the Birlilxens are behind them. That Montgomery crowdd is likely to slip by at second place from the Barons in the next two days.
 Local fans were given quite jolt Tues day when they learned that Atlanta had biffed the Pels twice in the same spot, but they haven't much room for sorrow. The Pels can better afford to lose a couple now and then than any club in the league. Just look how the loss of that one game by the Barons jared the Pes' rivals They are hanging to second place by hair, and a team that is in such danger ot iociiiS ottohd poSlllou tdii ifOlQ out very much hope of winning the cham pionship.
 Memphis News Scimitar: Wrecking of the ''pennant winners has Manager Frank hustling already for tho 1912 club. He knows many of this years stars will not be back and he fears some of the others will not be with him this season, so he is lining up his men for next year. He has already closed with Anniston for Pitcher Gray Hill. Also he has notified that he will exercise his option to re-pur- chase Joe Martina, normally pitcher,
 but who has been catching as well as hurl- ing for that club. Martina and his playing ability and limitations are well known here. but nothing is known of Hill. The Dutchman, however. is a wise speculator when 1t comes to ball players, and Red Tom Fisher must have convinced Cholly that Hill has the goods. Fisher who is now manager of the Anniston club, says that Hill, a big right handler with plenty Of smoke and fast breaking curves, has a bright future, and that he is certain to go good for the 1912 Pels.
 rms race TOT second place in the South ern league is getting os desperately close that interest over the circuit Is aroused more than 1t has ever been, with the pos sible exception of the close race between Nashville and Little Rock for the first l1onors in the days of Newt Fisher says Spick Hall in the Nashville Banner Ev- anywhere the people are talking baseball, and there has never been a time in Nash vile when everybody was as baseball crazy as they are now. The whole city Is crying out for the Vols to land at least In second place, and there are some who think that they outght to oust the Peli- cans from the roost. That last proposi- tion Is little rough. Of course, If Nash vflle's club had been bolstered up at the beginning of the season as 1t is today

they would be fighting right now with New Orleans. But it wasn't. Mobile Register: Pitcher Frank Allen. who has been II in the Mobile infirmary tor several days, left that institution yes- to-day and returned to his home, and is so much improved that he will likely be back, on the firing line for the Gulls before the week is up.. Allen stated last niglt that he would leave tonight for Atlanta. ,jcining the club in that city, where three games are scheduled. Though but weak Allen is none the worse for hs illness, and should pitch good ball again.
 Nashville Banner: That old right field dump has witnessed big bunch of not able stunts in it's day, and yesterday 1t saw two of the swellest catches made on it's sloping sides in many a day Doc Wiseman and Johnston were the men be- hind the gun, In the fourth round, with Phelan on second and two down. Mc- Gilvray sent a liner to the dump near center field and it would have been good tor two bags under ordinary circum- stances. But the doctor was off with the crack of the. bat and raced with the ball until he managed to stab it on the dead run while in the middle of the dump. Johnston pulled off similar stunt in the sixth on Seabaugh's drive. He probably had a harder run than Wiseman, and ssnatched a nit away from the local back stopper. Both performers got the glad hand for their stunts.
 In the second inning Nashville f'llcd the bases without having a man credited at the bat. Smith walked, Perry hit by Foxen, Schwartz sacrificed tl'i Wiseman walked Seabaugh sacrifice and Fleharty was the first "at the hat" when he hit safely over second. Lind Afn1 seven players faced the pitcher with only two of them being credited with a time at bat which is unique record There's pathos in the story s Of the race he quickly ran, Won an evanescent glory,
 Took a slump and got the can He was a tiger at the bat,
 And a reindeer in the field: The fans all-eyed him as they sat
 Waiting eager for his yield oft he'd felt the thrill of fame
 AS the fans tumultuous shout shook the heavens with his name.
 Whene' CT he made winning c,oJt Or when he swiped one on the run
 And killed the fellow coming home. is The din was like a giant gun
 They swore excited, He's going some" IL may have been his waning wing,
 or else his eye was on the blink Some surmised another thing
 That he'd fingered long at drink Bugs like thunder began to knock:
 Neither clouds enwrapped him round And he then got the pink-slip shock
 When told new star had been found. Then was pathos in his story g
 or the race he nobly ran; Pathos in his absent glory,
 Pathos in the cruel can
