 Outfielder Edmondson, the Texas league recruit, reported in Chattanooga to SUD- plant the veteran outfielder-Charlie Hemphill.

He annexed three hits in three trials in the first struggle. One of the trio was home rum

Birmingham gained a tighter grip on the lead of the league and for the first time is over two games in the fore of the nearest club. New Orleans divided a double header with Chattanooga and dropped back half of game when the Barons won. Mobile retook third posi- tion by administering double defeat to Atlanta. The Crackers are four and a half games rearward Nothing less than an absolute disaster can deprive Bir- mingham of the bunting.
 Molesworth and the Barons are strong ly of the opinion that the pennant will Red Stewart wanted to know after the game on what day next year the pennant would be raised. The Barons have but nine more games to play and if they continue their present stride will have einched the pennant before the crucial series with Atlanta opens.
 Nothing is certain in baseball. Labor Day Bradley Hogg. the big Mobile pitch CT, was batted from the box by At lanta Without days rest. he returned to the slab and defeated the Crackers handily.

It would mean that Birmingham. Mem fhis, New Orleans. Atlanta, Chatta- nooga and Nashville would have con- tlnuous baseball and that Little Rock and Shreveport would be in Class A ball again.
 But despite President Kavanaugh's kind offer it Ia likely that the Dixie will not meet the proposition. The terms are prohibitive. One hundred thousand dollars must be paid for the privilege.

Birmingham frightened her iron grip upon the lead of the Southern league, when South paw Curley Brown achieved a victory over the Nashville Vol unteers, 1 to 0.
 Opposed by Heine Berger. the Baron portwheeler was forced to extend him self to the limit to gain the decision. for the Nashville veteran yielded but three singles and an infield hit. In six innings, Berger's spitball and nearly perfect control held Birmingham with out hit.
 Brown was possessed with every needed implement of deception. His fast ball proved to be his main depend- ance, for it broke with decided dart. Moreover, his hook curved sharply. and his floater rallied to his call on emer- gencies. His control was superb.
 Fast fielding featured the battle. Five double plays were registered by the two aggregations, three by Nash saaAC anu tWO py nam. rex Covington, Molesworth and Williams were the defensive stars Covington's fielding feat probably saved the Bar ons. for Paulette opened the seventh with a double. Burns essayed bunting, and followed with a rap that seemed certain to advance the Vol first sacker to third. However, Covington rushed in with the pitch. scooped the bunt, that was never over two feet above the greensward, and doubled Paulette at second. Molesworth's catch did not save a tally, but the chubby leader showed unexpected speed when he sped in from his center pasture and grabbed Kings short Texas leaguer just over second. Otto Williams robbed Marcan of a hit in the fourth, when he sprinted back to second, speared the wallop and nailed Lii at first.
