GULLS DO NOT FEAR THE
 BARONS, ASSERTS BROWN
Local Boy On Mobile Team of Opinion That Barons Will Not Rest Long in Second Place-Only Pelicans
 Causing Lord Concern
By ASA RoUNrRHE, JR.

speedy overhauling of Dobbs jubilant Pelicans.
 Individually, the Gulls have an edge over the Barons, and probably over the Pelicans, also, and this, combined with the terrific smashing of Lord and Schmidt, should in thexend prevail.
 We return home now for series with the Billikens and should have little trouble in bagging the series. While We are playing the Bills, Birmingham and New Orleans will be having a merry lit tie tilt, and this should enable us to close up the gap again.
 "The boys are keyed up for fast finish and are ready to dash into the lead again just as soon as the Pelicans show any signs of distress.
 Our not fearing the Barons does not necessarily mean that they are not to be reckoned with at all. The struggle will grow bitter and bitter right up until the end, but l believe eventually that we will have only the Peicans to fear" con- cluded our unpatriotic representative. Brown is playing commendable game at present., and has often supplanted Schmidt behind the plate. He seems to brink luck to Lord and his minons, for of the last IA games he has worked, Il have resulted in victories. This includes the combat of yesterday. Larry is a fearless and willing worker, having no use for the customary shin guards,

A TTRIBUTLNG the clean sweep A made by the Barons to long ( A overdue slump in the effective ness of the Mobile coalition, Larry Brown, the Birmingham boy serving behind the bat for Br1scoe Lord, Is of the opinion that the Barons will not prove such a dangerous rivel to the Gulls in the long run, and that to win the pennant his team has only the Pelicans to head off. q
 ..The losing of the series does not mean that we have been put out of the running or that the Barons have disposed of us for the season. and now have only Johnny Dobbs to contend with,' averred Brown.
 Far be it from such, for we are sui fering only a temporary slump that will disappear when we return to our own grounds. Of course, we are naturally dis appointed at the failures encountered here Thursday. Friday and Saturday, but we have not thrown up the sponge con tinued Lords promising young receiver.
 None of the boys believe that the Bar ons will nose us out, and we are confi- dent that the Barons have only a short lease of life on the second rung. We have 19 straight games at home, and through this advantage Lord anticipates g

 CELLAR TO SECOND LIN MONTH

for the Braves showing The third shining light is Dick Rudolph the Braves most dependable pitcher Ru- dolph, while pitching the Braves to vie tory, has made an enviahle record fol himself. There is no other pitcher in the league who can claim credit for as many shut-outs in Il mor4th's time as have been scored by the Bronx boy during the last 30 days. The lesser lights on the Boston National team are Tyler and Billy James, Both of these pitchers have had their finger in the pie and deserve their share of the credit With a months time to make it in and being now within striS- ing distance of the top. Stalings is count ing on being the Giants chief contender when it comes to those last strained days of his teams pennant race.

MAPS SURRENDER
 UTILITY HUDNAL[ Cleveland Club Fails to Re. call Lone Gull Under Op-
 ti0nal Agreement

The lone Mobile player under an op- |tional agreement of major league team was surrendered yesterday. Utility Man Abe Hudnall. the Mobile utility player. was not recalled by the CleNc- land club in the American league. He was originally placed with the New Orleans club, but was shunted to Mo- bile in the spring. Hudnall has filled in eapably with the Gulls. but has not shown major league form Manager Lord announced yesterday that Hudnall would not be recalled.
 Mobile will sell no players to tho majors. Although the Boston Nationals were to have first choice on anything developed, the Gulls have not produced Il man worthy of a Boston bid. Ii is believed, however. that one player will be lost via the draft route.
