The racket raised over the official standings has now been cleared up, thanks to the efforts of a persistent newspaper man. It now appears that a youngster named Bob Pigue of Nashville, who has the responsible post of official scorer in that locality had forgotten to send in box score. This was awfully careless on the part of young Pgue. but just imagine the carlessness that held back the dis covery of the missing box score until yesterday.
 Molesworth is now after hard hit ting outfielder and has offered Old Dollar Bill the muniicent sum of 5000 for one. MT. Vance assured us yester- day that he was seriously considering the offer.
 The Barons discarded the hit and run method yesterday and adopted the sacrifice with the result that double plays were as scarce as hens teeth. defeated the victory of the Barons comes in handy By no means are the Barons out of the race. The Cuban trip is still a matter of pleasant con- lecture.
 By the way, when was the last game that Cecil Coombs missed getting a safe wallop? And incidentally how many games has Coombs won this sea- son with timely hit?

VA71LcoME home scotty ches.
 VV mutt. After cruel days of
 watching near arbiters on the sward at Redwood Field, your raucous cry of Batter up," at the be- ginning of yesterdays game placed us in excellent humor. We knew that the best umpire in the Southern league was on the job.
 The hullaballoo the Barons made yesterday at Aitchison's pitching was merely an effort to get the southpaw's goat. Karl Black, of our own be- loved Barons has the same trouble when the Pelicans are in town, for lawn Dobbs is always ballng out Blackie about keeping his foot on the rubber. It's an old trick, girls, and sometimes it works.
 It appeared in the tenth inning that the wonderful pitching of Burleigh Grimes was to go unrewarded, even after the pinch hit of John Wallace. But "Jeems" Magee this season is do- ing a number of unusual things, for he
  gled. Coombs and Magee represented the offensive and defensive strength of the Barons yesterday.
 Cecil Coombs is joy bringer on the third base coaching line. Talk back to the "umps," Cecil, old top. it makes the game livelier and besides Scotty does not mind very much.
 
 It is reported that Dolly Stark, the field captain of the Volunteers, has been suspended indefinitely because of his arguments with the umpires. Ac- cording to the report of the arbiters in President Baughs office the opin- ion is expressed that Stark is ire sponsible on the ball field. President Baugh is going to make a thorough investigation of the charges against Stark The suspension of Stark will prevent him from being seen in ac- tion against the Barons in the series beginning tomorrow afternoon. We welcome this news.

HOW THE WHOLE
 TROUBLE STARTED

The first discrepancy in the standing grew out of the failure of the Mobile off, cial scorer to record properly the game played between the Guls and Atlanta in the former city on April 13 On this oc- casion Atlanta was give ncredit for a D. to-1 victory when in reality the Gulls had won the contest by that figure. On inves- tigation this error was corrected, lut it was followed immediately by another fail- ure from Memphis In an effort to straighten out the standing problem, President Baugh had written to each of ficial scorer requesting him to send in to the Birmingham office immediately after July records of all games played in his city through that date. On these records an official standing was worked out on July s, but on the day following it was discovered that the Memphis official scorer had failed to send in a record of the game played there on July 4. Again there was an uproar and another adjustment, but the missing Pelican game had never been found.
 The work of yesterday morning, how ever, brings the whole uncomfortable problem to happy solution. The stand- ing is correct at last and everybody's sat- isfied

 The mix-ups in the standing of South srn league clubs have brought upon the head of Secretary Stratford vigorous criticism from several scribes. but the league rec retary really is not to blame for the dis crepances. His standings-each time they were issued, were based purely upon the returns of his official scorers, and these scorers are well paid by the league to make careful records of every game played in their city and to see that this record is placed in the hands of the league secretary. Failure to do this has caused the wrangle over the standings of the clubs and not the failure of Secre- tary Stratford to keep a correct list of the scores Is turned in
