DICK ROBERTSON DOWNS :.
 GULLS IN THE FIRST GA ME

while McDonald's timely wallop to cen ter sent him home. Pete Knisely, the happy groom. landed on one of Price s choice offerings and hoisted it over right field fence. In the seventh in- ming, the Baronial count swelled to four. Marcan walked. Magee grounded to Price, but the twirler threw badly to second and Marcan ad- vanced to third on the boble. knisely' s sacrifice fly to Kirby sent Marcan home.
 The feature of the game was McDon- aids hitting The Baron third sacker secured three hits in four trials at the bat There were several events to en- liven the game. In the third inning. Marcan was injured by having a foul tip hit him on the ankle. It was sev- eral minutes before he could resume his position at bat. Walter Tragesser was struck by Manager Lords bat when he swung late. A very peculiar assist fell to Robertson. hard hit ball from Hudnalfs bat hit him on the shin and ricocheted into Covington's hand, thus retiring the batsman.
 The Barons left tonight for New Or leans. where Big Arthur Johnson will open the series.

 Mobile, June 17.-with Robertson pitching invincible ball. Birmingham won the firse game of the scheduled double header this afternoon from Mo bile, to 1. The second contest pro- ceeded until the second inning, when rain came down in torrents and stopped play. In the opening battle, little Dick Robertson pitched splendidly and had the Gulls completely in command un- til the last inning.
 In the second game Hardgrove op- posed Wilbur Robertson. Neither team scored in the first round, and Bir- mingham was retired in the second without a run. Hardgrove, who had yielded three hits, allowed two Gulls to get on the paths in the second and, with none out, the situation looked bad. But a heavy rain squall saved him for in five minutes the diamond was flooded.
 Robertson had the Gulls at his com mand until the seventh, when he sue cumbed before the intense heat. Kirby, Lord and Schmidt, the wrecking crew of the Gulls. did not gain single hit off the Baron finger But in lne seventh, Mobile took advantage of his weakness and scored. Covingtons err TOT allowed Schmidt to reach first. Tn rapid succession two hits followed by Hudnal1 and Miller and Schmidt score Up until the fifth, Robertson yielded but one hit.

Chattanooga. June -(Special.-1t is up to Bill Smiths clan of swatters in the coming series between the Look outs and Crackers to decide whether or not young MT. Quarders, just secured from Jimmy Callahan's Chicago White Sox is to retain berth permanent with Chattanooga.
 Quarders has been given two oppor tunities to date to show his wares and has been hammered heavily upon both appearances. One drubbing was admin istered by the Chicks at Red Elm park and the other by Bill Schwartz's Vols at Sulphur Dell 1t is a matter of his tory that the Crackers have failed to defeat southpaw in Lookout uni- form this season. so it can be seen that if Quarders fails to stop the Smithmen there is little chance for him to continue to draw monthly sti- pend from the Andrews strong box.
