Democrats Likely 10 Urge Frank
Thompson for the Place.

That a certain element of the Dem
ocratic party is opposed to John A.
Meoers, the present sheriff of Sonler-
set county. being the nominee on the
ticket is shown by the acts OF various
members of the party throughout the
county. There was a meeting OF about
% of supposed-to- be leaders Of the
party at the Skowhegan House. Tues
day afternoon. No newspaper men
were admitted They We're requested

That Bessemer bunch is certainly swat ting the pellet this season. Not only have the hits been numerous but timely. John Cochran has won at least three of the games by his swatting alone. However, this boy Andy Ramage is leading the team in batting. In the seven games that he has participated in he has hit at the clip of .isS-not so bad for a player in professional ranks for the first season. Fred Heck comes next with 400. while lawn Cochran ranks third with .ssS Up until the present time not pitcher has hit safely
 The grand average of the team is .264. Cochran has slugged the ball with se- verity. He has knocked three homo runs, while his triples and doubles have beea very numerous. Fred Heck has been swatting awfully hard And to think that hitting is said to be his weakness. The others are hitting finely and some that are hitting below .275 are picking up daily.

BARONS AGAIN AT
 HOME AND PLATED
 OVER THEIR WORK

The bold Barons reached Birming- ham last night. They are elated. They have reason to be.
 On the trip 13 ganies were played. Of the number played the Barons won [. That's a pretty nifty record, .es- pecially as the start was so disastrous Birmingham opened in Montgomery and lost. From Montgomery the team rolled to Mobile. In Mobile the Barons received a rough deal, losing three out of four games. In New orleans di- vision of four games occurred. Then the team returned to Montgomery and made clean sweep of series of four games.
 Hardgrove won the first, Boyd the sec ond, Smith the third, and Foxen the fourth. Smith and Foxen had extra innings. All of the games were pretty fair to look upon although in the sec ond the locals scored runs In the first inning.
 This aftern oon the Barons open on Redwood Field against the seagulls of Mique Finn.
 Following the Gulls every other club In the league with the exception of Montgomery will visit the local lot. 1 As a result of 20 home games the Barons should ascend to the top of the column and remain there with a large :. lead.
 l Before another trip is necessary ad- dltional strength will have been added. Then the Barons will be stronger than any other club of the league
 This afternoon it is probable that Boyd will be sent to the rubber. It is said that he shows better form when worked every third day He Is show Ing more stuff than many other pitch CTS of the league.
 Six straight victories have work cd wonders in rushing the Barons up- ward, and in arousing enthusiasm among the fans.
 only yesterday they were saying that the Barons would finish on the bottom. Now they are saying that the Barons will win the pennant. 
 Some days ago the Billikins opened in Birmingham and won a series. Moles- worth then realized that he was not strong. He went after material. Later the Barons opened in Montgomery and won four straight games. Then Dobbs found out that he was not strong and he went to St Louis crying, "Help!'
 The fans will gather in great num- bars on Redwood Field this afternoon. The Barons deserve a large crowd. They are now playing good ball. Per haps they have struck their stride.
 Nothing has yet been heard. concern ing the request of Cincinnati for wal vers on those near-Barons. Birmingham can hold it's own with the clubs of the southern division, at any rate. The members of the northern half are yet to come. From a long dis tance view Atlanta seems to have the best club in the other section, with Chattanooga second.
 Cincinnati and New York are maix- | ing a runaway race in the National | league. The other six clubs are punched between 400 and AT.
 At any rate, we will have a geme at home this afternoon. II. W. R.

Montgomery, April 6.-(Special )-Car- rolls home run swipe in the eleventh ses- sion of today's game. which drove John ston in ahead of him across the plate, won for the Barons.
 The game had been a pitchers battle throughout with honors with Foxen, but Radabaugh held the Barons safe after the first session, although he got in sev- eral holes. Fast fielding pulled him out successfully.
 In the first round after Marcan had gone out Radabaugh passed both Messen- ger and Mcbride. McGilvray flew out to Coles, but Messenger took third on the throw in. Johnston then came to bat and stung out a neat safety to left and Messenger crossed the plate. This was the only run in the game until the ninth round, when Foxen weakened and for a time it looked as if the Bilikens would romp away with the victory.
 Billikens Tie Score
 Joe Bills was sent in to bat for Stingle, but could not produce and was an easy out, but little Spencer came to bat and lined out the ball to the center field fence for three bags. McElveen hit safe and Spencer scored, tying up the game. Coles followed with a safe bingle to center and McElveen went to second. McAllister was substituted for Williams and tried hard to produce the necessary punch hit but Foxen steadied down and the back stop was an out, Foxen to McGilvray But McElveen went to third and Coles | these two corners Captain Bill Elwert came to bat, but Foxen was too much for the Billiken leader and he was an easy out, Marcan to McGilvray.
 The game rocked along through the tenth, both teams going out in one, two, three order but in the eleventh the Barons became busy bunch. Johnston first up swiped a Sround ball to Me Elveen which almost knocked the third naseman down. It was too hot to han de and Johnston was safe at first Yantz dumped to Radabaugh for neat sacrifice. sending Johnston to second. A long fly by Ellam to Happy" Smith, who had taken Williams place in right garden, sent Johnston to third on the throw-in.
 Carrolrs Great Punch
 Carroll then stepped to the plate. Two balls and two strikes had been called on him, when he selected one to his liking and drove 1t to center field. Bills made a great try to get the ball but it struck the ground just a few inches in front of him and moment before he could reach 1t. The ball bounded past the Billilen fielder and went to the center field fence. John ston scored and Carroll scampered around the bags and beat the ball hcme. These two runs proved enough to win the game, as Foxen sat the Bill

Il will be but a short while before "Jawn" Cochran will add the middle name of Home Run" His name ought to be "Jawn Home Run Cochran" While on his first road trip he has sprung into immediate renown as a home run hitter. At Gadsden Thursday the ball that he hit over center field fence Is reported to have cleared the highest rail- ing by 10 feet. It is said to have been the longest hit bal lthat ever travelled in the air at Gadsden.
 In -Anniston the day before, he hit the longest hit ball that ever travelled in the there ever saw. Besides hitting a home run in this game at Gadsden, he secured triple and a single out of five times at bat.
