motors need not worry about gate receipts in St. Louis. The disgusted fans of the Mound City have had to put up with the rank perform ances of the Cardinals and Browns for such long time that they are now filled with joy over the pleas- ing prospect of at last being repre- sented by a pennant winner even though 1t Is an outlaw aggresa- tion.
 President chivington of the American association pulled a bone recently when he issued an order barring Federal leaguers from wit messing games in his league. The action appears to be a foolish one OF the part of the A. A. proxy ane will only cause much hard feeling. The outlaw league is the under dog now but if it manages to survive this year as q major league then the high tribunal of organized ball will have a lot of worrying to do. Last fall the players were leery about the proposition but if the league pans out successfully then there will likely be a few moro vacancies in organized ball next fall when the contracts of a large number of players under the big top run out.
 A Washington news dispatch says that young Joe Boehling has all the control this year that a pitcher can ask Tor. Griffith should worry about Boehling getting con trol so long as he can chalk up games on the right side of the ledger as he did last year
 How is this for little slam at the chesty Pelicans:
 Now that we've seen that New Or leans ball club in action in four games, the team touted as an easy clnch to cop the 1914 flag, we'd like to go on record that this league is composed of whole heap of rotten ball clubs if Johnny Dobbs outfit proves the pennant winner. We give 'em credit for a good pitching staff. hut so far ss any wonderful ability is concerned that lets 'em out.

 The game was tied up in the fifth inning when Miller. first up, got his second hit of the game, singling to center. Robertson put one in close to Schmidt and he walloped it for a homer. In the eighth Calhoun went out on a grounder from first to Robertson, who covered the bag. O'Dell went out to Covington unassisted. Perry was walked and on kirby's single to right went around to third. With Dobard at the bat Tragesser let one of Rober- sons fast ones get by him and Perry beat his throw to the plate after the catcher recovered the ball and threw to the pitcher.

T 1EING the score in the fifth on
 Schmidts home run clout ofe Robertson and forging ahead in the eighth when Perry reached home on a passed ball by 1ragesser, the Gulls acquired a second con secutive decision over the Rarons yesterday afternoon making 1t their fifth win of the season. To coun- teraet this the Barons have only one game stored safely away.
 It now begins to appear as if the Gulls have the Barons' goat com placently eating out of their hands for in six times that the Birming- ham team has opposed the Gulls they have taken the count in five. And the hard part of it Is that all have been dropped by a narrow margin
 Against the Billikens the Barons played great ball and had an even break from Dame Fortune but on reaching Mobile they were again brought to a low level.
 
 
 Gulls lands a knockout blow on old man Dope. At the opening of the season the Gulls took three out of four from the Barons, and then turned around and were adminis- tered similar dose by the Billi- keffs. According to old Doctor Dope the Billikens by all rights had claim on three games of the Bir- mingham series, but here he re- ceived a rude jolt. for the Barons refused to be ruled this way and took three fonrths of the series from Bobby Gilks instead. By reck oning on the manner fin which the Bills gained clean cut victories over the Gulls 1t was reasonable to sup pose that Moleys players would have easy sailing against the Gulls this time. But such has not been the case and the Gulls seem to have the drop on the Barons.
 Robertson of the Barons out pitched Robertson of the Gulls yes terday, but the home run drive of Schmidt tipped the scales for the Mobile moundsman.
 Both Tragesser and Schmidt kept the runners glued close to the bases yesterday and only one stolen base was registered. The successful pll- ferer was ODell.
 At the very ouset the invasion of the weaker clubs against the stronger ones has been disastrous. None of the invaders have met with any de- gree of success. Mobile defeated Bir- mingham the Pelicans came near blanlking the BillilSens. while the Turtles and the Vols also barely es- capped being whitewas shed by the Crackers and Lookouts, respectively.
 
 Catcher Schmidt of the Gulls eer- tainly takes to the offerings of the Baron hurlers with zest. Sunday he slapped out three in four trials and again yesterday he ran up another trio in three tryouts.
 Outside of Schmdts homer there was only one other extra base tap. This was gleaned by Covington in the opening frame and went for two sacks.
 Another ninth inning rally was att tempted yesterday. but Pinch Hitter Wallace failed to deliver as on the day previous. Magee and Tragesser touched Robertson for singles in the ninth. but Wallace, sent in to bat for Marcan, rolled out to Perry at second for the final out.
