 Backed by support that was at times sensational, Southpaw Curley Brown held the Pelicans to a measly four hits. and with the aid of timely stick work by tea inmates came through with colors fly ing, administering a second straight de- feat to Johnny Dobbs' cohorts and causing them to lose undisputed possession of the topmost pinnacle. While the Pels were meeting with another reverse at the hands of the Barons, Chattanooga gained a de- cision over Atlanta, and is now locked with the New Orleans team for first place. The score of yesterdays tilt was g to 2 the Pelicans again footing the list.
 In the early stages of the game Brown had trouble locating the plate. but stone wall defense enabled him to travel along safely. and as the battle progressed he grew correspondingly stronger.
 Matty Retires In Fifth
 Handsome" Harry Mcintyre opened festivities for the visitors, but after labor ing vainly for five innings to hold the Barons in check he was forced to give up the job to a youngster-Glavenich- who finished out the game in a rather creditable manner, incidentally making the fifth hurler used by Dobbs during the feat Six hits, one homer by Magee, and seven runs were gleaned off the vet eran Mcintyre, while Glavenich yielded up four hits and two runs.
 The game was one of the fastest and best played that has yet been staged this season, and was enliyened considerably by two home run clouts and Stewart circling the bases on sacrifice hit and a single error Stewart first drew the calcium. After knisely had been given four balls in the second the new Baron outfelder sac rihced to Mcintyre and beat it out. Me Intyres throw to first was wild and Stew art continued on to the keystone without stopping. Rounding second at top speed he bore down on third, and when Bluhm threw bad to head him off, Stewart kept on home, knisely arriving there ahead of him.
 Sylvester registered his home run in the third. With one down and Bluhm perched on second. he hit sharply to center. and the ball evaded Stewart, rolling to the fence, and Sylvester completed the cir cult.
 Magee Hit Homer
 Magee's four-base punch came in the fifth. and was placed in the center field grove. knsely was occupying first when Magee delivered. This proved too mucn for Mcintyre, and at the conclusion of the round he retired from the firing line in favor of Glavenich. As on the preceding day the Barons were the first to settle down to work in earnest. After the visiting team had been held scoreless by fast fielding fin the first and second frames the locals got busy in their part of the second, and by the gen erosty of the opposing finger, aided by single and Bluhms error, chalked up two tallies. Knisely drew a base on balls and then Stewart sacrificed, going around | the bases when the Pels went up in the air.
 Sylvester's homer in the fourth with Bluhm on first gave the Pelicans two runs in the third and tied the count but | in their part of the inning the Barons quickly united 1t by pushing over three runs.
 | McDonald first up caught the inf1eld asleep by dumping bunt down the third base line and beating 1t out. After he had failed twice to sacrifice Marcan' hit | to left and Mcdonald went to second. Covington followed wish hit to short l and the play was made at third but Knaupp threw wild to Barbare at the | hot corner and MsDonald scored. The | ball hit the grandstand and Umpire Ker- lin ordered Marcan home also but Johnny ] Dobbs and his Pels kicked up such a row over this unfair ruling that Kerin, after conferring with Ffield, sent Mar can back to third. Knisely was hit by a pitched ball filling the bases. Stewart delivered in the pinch with a single to | left, Marcan and Covibgton scoring. Ma gee advanced Knisely t.. third and Stew art to second but they died on base. as Tragesser was walked purposely by Mcintyre and with the bases crowded

Intyre in the fifth and the veteran then ! was relieved Knisely opened with an in- | field tap to third, wvich he beat out. | Stewart flied out to Adams. but Magee 1 followed with a home-run drive to cen 1 ter. bringing Knisely in ahead of him. 1 Glavenich went into the box in the 1 sixth but the Barons refused to call a | halt in their run-getting proclivfties and ] annexed counters in both the sixth and seventh atanxas.
 l After Brown had gone out from third | to first and Mcdonald had hofsted fly to right in the sixth, Marcan beat out | an infeId roller and stole second. Gov | ington was hit by a pitched ball and | took first. Pete Knisely uncorked hot hlngle to lAft and Marcan> raced home.
