WORDSWORTH, LORD AND MCCORMICK SHOWING WAY TO THEIR HENCHMEN-LORD AC- TUAL LEADER-THE LOOKOUT LEADER IS CLOSE SECOND

Three leaders in the Southern are wag- ing a merry tilt for batting honors and up to the present Briscoe Lord of the league leading Gulls has gleaned the ad- vantage. The trio of managers setting the pace for their hirelings are Carlton Molesworth of the Barons. Briscoe Lord of the Gulls and Moose Mccormick of the LoolSouts, Molesworth is leading his two rivals with mark of .s75, but as he has been to the plate but eight times the actual leadership goes to Lord who is manipulating his war clubs at a .336 gait.
 Mccormick is clamoring close at his heels eager to jump into the lead should his Mobile competitor run into d slump. The hefty Moose is hitting .SS2.
 The disastrous showing of the Billikens is having little effect on the hitting of Jud Day. The Billilen out gardener is listed as fourth among the regulars and is meeting the ball squarely, maintaining an average of .S19.
 In lacing out safeties Dave Callahan is out in front, with 1S2. Jacobson of the Lookouts ranges second, having cracked out 12s. Mullen of the Turtles has reached first 126 and Daly 12o on raps into safe territory.

 The visit of some of the scouts has been for the purpose of forestalling any attack that the insurgents might make on young recruits that have been farmed out by obtaining their sigma lures to contracts for next season.
