 Bill McGilvray, that aged and grizzled veteran of twenty-eight summers decid- ed to give the fair fans at Fleetwood a thrill and that he did while Boyd downed i the Lookouts to l. In the fifth session Large William made a wonderful hop into the atmosphere after Moves drive and at an altitude of about eight feet. he made a enchanted stab of the horse hide and caused Billy Smith to murmur. If had their luck [ wouldn't use but pitcher and a catcher"
 The Barons copped beautiful game. full of thrills from Billy Smiths pen nant winners for he declared this im- minent success for them when the sea- son began. Bell Cord Bill chappells was ordered to ornate the slab, while Ray Boyd stood the Lookouts on their heads in the pinches. Although the Baron twirler was touched up frequently. he took a hitch in his belt and pulled out unscared. He received sensational support, too.
 In the beginning of the battle, Chap belle was not very effective and especial ly so against Clyde Mcbride The five eoAN SAehAAo NHiti were dSSIGBdIeQ OH his salary wing were registered in as many sessions. In the second round of his Inauguration, Mcbride drove out his first swat and scored And in the fourth he trlpled to left field, while Ellam dou- bled and Yantz tripled That tells the tale of the deluge.
 Boyd Scared Crowd
 Boyd had the crowd nervous Often he PbOlSp cd fhp tVffT ffc talent and then proceeded to ease out In the seventh and eighth two hits were counted in each session. And in the ninth Chief" Balenti anted with a double, but the cuspidorean slants of the local heaver saved the Barons victory. Incidentally the Barons gained one-half a game lead over Mo bile, when the Gulls quit work and rested.
 After Bell Cord William" had downed the Barons in order in the first, Mcbride hit a slashing single over Tutwiler's head He purloined second and when Hannah's wild heave was transported to center Mack took third Jimmy Johnston skied out to Moran and the sunfielder tallied. Jimmy John ston is credited with three sacrifices and he is credited with driving in two of the three runs.

 chappelle had an inclination to be wild in the third round as both Car roll and Yantz were passed However in the fourth the sunflelder hit a long line drive to left field which Moran tried to catch. The best that Moran could do, however, was to retard it's momentum and Mack was held up at third. Jimmy Johnston followed with another sacrifice fly. Then Ellam hit a double to right field George Yantz caught the pellet on the nose and field and landed safely on the third hassock, while Ellam made the third pilgrimage to the rubber.
 Boyd failed to deliver and the Dutch- man rested on third
 IT. the fifth, sixth and ninth, Birming. ham got men on bases, but the following sluggers could not negotiate safely. How ever the Lookouts tailed in the sixth when a Birmingham product chirped in with a timely double to right Moran singled to center and counted when Guy rutWier doubled to the scoreboard. In the seventh, the Lookouts threatened Baent spilled one of Boyd's cuspidorean products to center. The best Moves could do was 10 hit high pop-up to McGil- vray, while Gray singled to left. but Han nah went out Marcan to McGilvray.
 Crowd Given Thrill
 In the eighth an additional thrill was given the fans when Coyle and Jordan singled in succession, after Chappele lad struck out. Moran popped up and TutN Her grounded out to Marcan. Tn the rinth the last and most thrilling thrill was effected when "Chief" Balenti opened with a long drive to left field, upon which he was awarded second. However, the masterful pitching of Boyd caused Noyar and Hannah to paddle the ozone in suc- eession, while More, batting for Chap belle. added another assist to Marcan's perfect defensive record with slow roller
 This afternoon More and Hannah will try to triumph over Smith and DilSer' Ii is probable, however, that their sue cess will be noticeable only for it's ab- sence. One of the numerous features was the rapidity with which Billy Smith chewed when the Barons landed upon "Pell Cord" William.
