JIMMY JOHNSTON IS TIED WITH MORAN FOR HONOR THIS SEASON-wILL BAR0NS LEAD AGAIN?

t It's up to Jimmy Johnston to preserve the record that the Barons have held for the last four years. Sipce 1908, when Tom Downey lead the league in stolen bases. a Baron has succeeded in leading all other base runners in the Southern in offering bases. Tom Downey led in 1908 with 42 steals. Noah Henline. with 43 thefts, held the record in 1909. Big Bill McGilvray won the honors in 1910 with a collection of 45 stolen sacks, while Arte Phelan the star third sacker, led last season with total of b7. Now its up 10 Johnston to win thls year.
 Jimmy has an excellent chance to gain
 the premier honors, too. At the present time he and Roy Moran, the daring Look out outfelder, are tied Tor first place with a total of 31 stolen bases each. Moran is a very splendid base runner. but does not reach the sacks as often as Jimmy and it seems as if Johnston will beat him out for the honors yet
 The daring little outnelder of the Bar ons is going after the honors He has admitted that He says that he will lead the league and Jimmy means what he
 
 runners on the Baron team who are faster than James, there are none more able or fit In the art of sliding Jimmy uses the
 fadeaway slide and he has it down to perfection. He does not depend upon his speed as much as his science and is not a player that Mll use his spikes to fur ther his cause.
 The reason that Jimmy steals so many bases is that he is a good guesser. John ston takes a good lead off of first base He has seldom been caught and is very able at getting long lead. The reason that he has been successful Is due to the fact that he goes before the pitcher Is able to get wound up well. He is quick.
 Everyone is pulling for the clever cen terfielder to sathert in the honors. An other fact that Is decidedly In favor of his holding the record is his position in l the batting order. Usually Jimmy gets on base with one or more out He Is often able to get gift steal with the | first man up on third, and has numerous chances to steal. as Messenger and Mar can are out Then the steal is ordered, | for he can score on a single. Everything is in Jimmys favor to hold the base stealing record and the Barons hope to lead the steaiers for the fifth consecutive year.

"Wild" Bill Luhrson and Baker held n gruelling pitchers battle in the first game. Luhrson allowed four hits, while Baker allowed but trio. However Wild Wnliami struck out 10 of the batters at the most important time. Both of Bessemers runs were helped along by flukes.

An imitation of the deluge that Noah suffered was offered New Orleans yes terday and the Barois remained idle. performed this afternoon in the city of the Pelieans and Gin F1zzes. Smith and Boyd are booked to do the hurling honors for the Barons. while Frank has an noEunced that he will work Weaver and probably Griffin.
 The Barons believe that they can take one of the two games and repeat the stunt that the Pels handed the Barons when they were here. The Pelican pitchers are going badly now and Franks men are not hitting as hard as usual. It would cause little surprise should the Barons cor all three of the games.
 Should Birmingham take the three games from the Pelicans 1t would give them a lead that will keep them in first place for q month should they lose nearly every game. The Crackers showed the and there Is no team within hailing dis tance of the locals.
 The Barons will oinrh the pennant if they keep up the present race by July 25 The pitchers will hittheir stride with in few days and then the Barons will be invincible. fhere are no indications that the Baron batters are slumplng and should they keep up their present stride then they are sure to cop the pennant.

There will be six games in the Southern today Birmingham and New Orleans play a doubleheader. Nashville and Memphis will play a double bill while Mobile and Montgomery will battle.

 Lnhrson seemed to have the Besse- mer batters dazzled. His "spitter" was breaking well, while he had sizzling speed and his control was good in the latter part of the game. He whiffed 10 batters in six innings in the first game and caused six. to paddle the ozone in the second Bessemer felded in sensational style, while the errors of Huntsville were costly.

OYSTER SHELLS ARE MOVED.
Taken From 18th Street Wharf tt
Alexandria.

The moving of the oyster shells from
the 11th street wharf to the Bryant
crushing plant at Alexandria has been
resumed and Roam's lighters are being
employed in the transportation. The
taking of the shells from this city to
Alexandria was interrupted about two
weeks ago by the sinking of the big
lighter used In the work at her dock at
Alexandria.
AS yet the lighter is still lying on the
bottom in about ten feet of water and
considerable trouble is being met in float
ing II. Though the oyster season has
been over for a month and large quanti-
ties of the shells have been taken away,
there still remain on the oyster and fish
wharf shells sufficient to load half a
dozen or more big scows. The Roam
lighters. II is stated. will be employed
in this work until the wharf Is cleaned
up. At the Alexandria plant the shells
are crushed for use in poultry yards and
shipped all over the country.
