 Two Promising Youngsters
 Two youngsters who have all of the earmarks of stellar performers are Barbare and Sylvester. The former has especially been travelling at a hot gait and so fruitful has Barbre been swing ing his war clubs. that Dobbs has been forced to make room for him in the infield. Little was known of his abil- ity. until Shortstop Cotton Knaupp was injured aud he was sent in to fill the vacancy. From the jump he made good and Manager Dobbs has put him on third in place of Lindsay now that Knaupp is back in the lineup.
 Sylvester started off at first base with the Pelicans but the advent of Bluhm sent him to the outfield. His hitting and all-round ability has caused

The invasion has been one that reflects little credit on the local team and reference to their first series with the Gulls leaves a bitter taste in one's mouth, so the less said of Mobile, the modern Waterloo of the Barons the better.
 Forsooth the Barons made such a pitt full showing against Briscoe Lords col
 lection of players that they are being counted out of the running by foreign scribes The sudden blowing up of the local team against the 'Guls after they had displayed rare form and hitting ability in the series with the Billikens is unaccountable.

posed mainly of minor league recruits,
 but no matter where they hail from they
 certainly have the Barons on the run.
 Since arriving in Montgomery the team
 has settled down, and it is to be hoped
 that they remain in this state during the coming series with the Pels. The cohorts of Johnny Dobbs hold three decisions over
 Birmingham. while the local team can
 boast of but one on them. This week the Pels play five games here, and the Barons have the opportunity to settle up their debts if they will only take ad- vantage.
 Pels First Visit Here The game Monday will be the first that
 the rebuilt New Orleans machine has staged here this season. The team thIs season is almost entirely different from
 that of last year, but there will be sev-
 eral players in the lineup whose faces are familiar to Birmingham fans, they having performed in the past on other Southern league teams.
