 Stewart has at last succeeded in ob- taining his long sought homer. On several occasions since he donned a Baron uniform, the center field guar dian has made valiant attempts to get a four-base clout out of his system, but each time they fell short by a narrow margin In Birmingham during his first week of stay. Stewart barely missed uncorking circuit punch. The ball landed on top of the fence, but instead of bounding over it fell back inside. His homer came yester day in the fifth, with Marcan perched on base.
 Ellam and Covington also pounded the ball hardily, the former getting a double and the latter a triple
 Sixteen hits were amassed off Rob- ertson and Harbin by the Cracker bat ters.

 The Baronal backstopping depart ment has supplanted the third base corner as the resting place of the jinx. Saturday Fred Dilger got his finger split by a foul tip, while yesterday Tragesser was forced out of the game in the third inning by being spiked trying to retire Tommy Long at the plate.
