 Ham Reynolds also fell vic- tim to Moley's henchmen. In. the last game with the Cracxers Tuesday the locals got away with a victory through the generosity of Reynolds with his wild pegs and this dl CIV the ire of Billy Smith down on his head and his release followed shortly after. ''Rube' Evans has said farewell to the Southern. On Wednesday Manager Dobbs of the Pelicans returned him to the Cleveland Maps and he will likely be turned over to the Cleve- land club in the American associa- tion. This is the second heaver to be turned back by the New Orleans lead CT in the past two weeks. Pitcher Glavenich was returned to the Maps while the club was in Birmingham.

 Manager Mccormick of the Look outs announced yesterday that Pitcher Lorenzen has beeen turned back to the Detroit club, from where he was obtained during the winter LorenE-n has failed to show much this spring so the Moose"
 
 Tigers.
 Left Filed Johnson of the Look outs, who was beaned by Pitcher Dixie" Walker in New Orleans re- gently, is now all right and will likely get into the game this aft ernoon. While Johnson has been out of the game Ems, a newcomer secured from Providence, has been filling his place in the sun garden. Mccormick has three ex-Provi- dcnce players on his pay roll. They are Pitchers Slime and Reisigl and Outfielder Ems
 Reisigl made his debut into the Southern yesterday against the Barons. but he was ineffective and the local batters had little trouble solving his delivery
 Two spectacular catches were made in yesterdays fray by out tielders. The first came in the sixth when Mccormick. after a hard run, speared one-handed a hard liner off McDonald's bat tagged for at least two bags In the seventh Ma gee pulled down one off Balenti's club that was headed into the cen ter field grove.
 Besides Pete Knisely, Ellam and Stewart did yeomen's work with their bats. Each got two hits out of four trips to the bat. Roy Ellam is hitting regularly now and his average Is lowering close to the .290 mark. Stewart annexed the only theft that was registered against Graham by the Barons.

ny ASA RouNTREE. yR.

K TOW that the experimental stage
 M of the stason has passed. A Southern league pilots are turning their whole attention to the trail that lies ahead and which will remain so until September r. Up until yesterday. when the various clubs cut down to the player limit, experiments with line-ups and combinations have been conducted by the leaders and players about whom they were doubt full were being given ample opport- tunity to show their abilities. Tossers who got off to d slow start during the spring were also retained and allowed a chance to display their rep ertoire of tricks. But yesterday the time for decisive action came and all over the league the ax fell with dead ly aim. Relieved or this deadwood, the teams are now down to fighting trim and ready for the long, hard struggle that is before them.
 Some managers are still undecided as to the capacity of certain players and intend clinging onto them for sev- eral weeks more Manager Moles- worth of the Barons is one of these. while Moose Mccormick of the Look outs is another The local boss is still undecided whether to let Jimmy Ma gee or Clyde McBride go But from our viewpoint he should show no hes itancy in deciding the question, for, although Magee is not playing the game he is capable of. he still shades Mcbride and is a more apt performer in the sunfield than the former guard ian. Magee has not yet struck his true stride but when this happens other league outhelders will have to look to thei rlaurels.
 Moose Mccormick has pitching problem to solve and, like Moley, he may wait several weeks longer before deciding definitely on what course to pursue.
 President Kavanaugh afforded the Southern managers more time this spring to solve their problems than previously. The time for cutting down was originally set for May l. but the Dixie president leniently extended the period two weeks. It was claimed that this action was a war measure, but President Kavanaugh made denial and asserted that on account of in surmountable obstacles that arose dur ing the early spring and which threw the teams back considerably, he con- sidered it only fair to the managers to allow them additional time.
 
 Two scalps are hanging to the belt of the Barons. ThesS were formerly possessed by Pitcher Harry Mcintyre of the Pelicans and Catcher Ham Key holds of the Crackers. both of whom were released during the past few days by their respective clubs. And the Barons in each case was mainly responsible. After pitching a two hit game against the Billikens, Me Intyre, who was making game at tempt to "come back this spring, tried to curb the powerful attack of the local batters when the New Or leans team recently invaded Birming

Four hits and four runs were registered before the visitors could close the inning.
 Robertson Starts Attack
 Dilger opened by grounding to short. Robertson followed with a single to right and went to second when the Chatta- nooga hurler gave Mcdonald his base on balls. Stewart followed with a single to center, Robertson and Mcdonald counting. Knsely cracked out his third hit of the day, double to right center, registering both Marcan and Stewart. For the third time Knisely died on base, Magee ground ing out to first and Covington to short stop.
 The Lookouts scored their third and last run in the fifth on Balentis double and McCormick's single to center, which brought him over the plate.
 The Barons rested contently in the fifth and sixth. but in the "stand-up'' frame they came back for more blood, and two runs were secured on three hit.
 Knisely started off with double to ceu- ter and Magee beat out a scratch be- tween third and short Covington flied out to the catcher but Ellam singled to deep center and the two runners came home. Dilger closed the inning by hitting into a double play, Ellam being caught at sec ond

Opposed on the mound by Spit Baler Robertson, the proud Lookouts again fell victims to the Barons yesterday after Loon and the gap separating them from the Pelicans was further narrowed. An even dozen safeties were piled up by the Barons and these went for 10 runs AL though the Lookouts secured an aggre- gate of 10 swats, they were able to make them count for but three runs. This was due mainly to the ability of Robertson to keep the hits scattered.
 Two fingers were used by Moose" Me- Cormick in an effort to turn the tide of battle, but without avail Kroh, the elongated southpaw formerly with the ing foolers to the rampant Barons and two innings were sufficient for him. Reisigl, who reported to the Lookouts Monday in New Orleans from the Provi- dence club in the International league, succeeded the lanky southpaw. ineiden- tally making his debut as a Southern league performer. The fact that Reisigl was newcomer did not phaze the Barons and they gave him rather warm well come. Had it not been for the fact that Mccormick did not care to use another pitcher needlessly, the International leaguer probably would also have been derricked.
 By winning the second game yesterday from Chattanooga, the Barons can now blossom out as the breaker of champion ship teams First the Pelicans were tum- bled out of the topmost position by the Barons, and it now appears that they .tr.s.. t .tt.,.. f, the Lookouts, as the Pelieans are rapidly approaching from the rear and are gamely attempting to overhaul McCor- mick and regain their lost berth

Knisely There in Pinch

After a slump of several days dura- ton, Pete Knisely jumped into the game yesterday feet first and in four trips to the plate slapped out a triple, two dou- bles and single Two of these extra base wallops came in the pinch. In the first inning after the Chattanoogans had tallied one run and with Stewart on sec ond, the big Teuton hit to right field for three bags, bringing Stewart over. Again in the fourth, with Marcan perched on second and Stewart on first, Knisely delivered with a double to right center and both skirted home.
 Scoring activities began in the very first round, Chattanooga leading the assault. After Ems had flied out to center, Bal enti singled through short two-bagger along the left field foul line by Jacobson put him on third, from where he scored on McCormicks grounder to second Further scoring was prevented by Coyle grounding out to Ellam at short.
 The Barons evened up in their part of the round when Knisey registered a three-bagger. Following McDonald's fly to third, Marcan worked Kroh for four balls. Stewart hit to short and Marcan was trapped at second, the center fielder reaching first safely. Stewart then stole second and finished the circuit on Knisely's heavy swat Pete was left stranded on third, as Magee pushed an easy roller down to the hot corner and was caught at first by Graf.

Barons Get Upper Hand

Neither team scored in the second, but in the third: both again recommended their work, with the Barons getting the better of the argument.
 With two down, Jacobson singled to cen ter and stole second Manager Cormick delivered in the pinch with a single to right field and Jacobson scored when Mar can erred on the return throw.
 The Barons fell on Kroh in the latter part of the stanza with such ferocity that Mccormick was forced to take him out of the box, Mcdonald led off by work ins the southpaw for a base on balls. Mar can sacrificed and both landed safe when the play made to get Mcdonald at the keystone failed. Stewart bunted again to- ward third and easily beat it out, filling the bases In the pinch Knisely did not fall down and after looking over a couple of Kroh's deliveries, sent vicious single into left, scoring Mcdonald and Mar can.
 Before Kroh could get into any more trouble Mccormick ran in from right and took him out of the box. replacing him with Reisigl, right handler secured re- gently from the International The new conner pulled out of the hole fairly well, but worse fate was waiting in store for him. Magee, the first Baron to face him. flied out to right and Stewart trotted home on the throw-in. Covington struck out and Ellam closed the fatal third by hoist ing another fly to Mccormick in right.
 Robertson let the IsoOkouts down score less in the initial portion of the fourth. but in the latter part the locals got to Reisigl and hammered him even more viz orously than they did his predecessor.
