HITcHER ELMER PONDER, N whom the Barons released to 4 the Fort Worth club of the Texas league. is in Birmingham. It appears that Ponder is not at all desireus of playing with the Fort Worth club. and, as he is in excel lent condition and a pitcher of ability he may get a chance with the Barons
 Another ball tosser in town Is young Hugh Shaw, recently released by Lit tie Rock to the Pelicans. Shaw is in Birmingham awaiting the arrival of the Dobbsmen.
 The case of Shaw is peculiar. This youngster is a fast man on the bases an excellent outfelder and good hit ter-yet he failed with the Travelors What was the reason?
 According to several umpres and ball players clique of the veterans on the Little Rock team started rid ing" Shaw every time he made field ing mistake or famed, with the result that they nearly ruined a good ball. player. It is further averred that the reason Little Rock hangs on to the bottom of the league is because of the coarse language and general rowdy- ism of the older players toward the less experienced and aspiring young sters. Charley Starr, in particular, 'alibfs'' himself continuously by "cussing out" the youngsters.
 
 The Barons are practically all shot to pieces but are still playing good ball. Despite the numerous defeats on the present road trip the Barons have fared better In the invasion than other clubs about the circuit. The Barons started in second place and will re- turn next Tuesday in that position and only q few games behind the Pel- jeans, who haven't cinched the lead ership of the race by any means.
 It will be weeks. perhaps, before either Clyde Mcbride or Dannis Clark can play ball again The loss of these two players deprives the Barons of any substitutes should

VEAN GREGG HAS
 FAILED THIS SEASON

Gregg has been an utter failure thus far. Manager Bill Carrigan has not even given him a regular turn i'll the box. Leonard's case has cooked up the scandal of the season According to the manager and President Joe Lam nin, owner of the club Leonard mas refused to obey training rules and keep in condition. His recent suspen- sion brought forth charges of in- ternal dissenion in the team Regard less of the dissension, suspension and disob edience of training rules, however, | 1t is sufficient to say that Leonard has been practically worthless so far, whereas he was counted on to win | probably more games than any other man on the staff. Babe Smith, still ! another Red Sox southpaw, found 1t l impossible to strike winning gait un- l til his return from the first western l trip and his entire record thus far em braces about three times as many de- l fsats as victories. Ray Collins also
 has been about useless.

 Vaughn and Pierce Are Keeping Cubs in Pace
By MONTY

New. York. June Railways more or less inconsistent creatures, taken as lot. the southpaw pitchers are less dependable this year than any other time in the last decade. At least they have travelled the rockiest sort of n road thus far in their journey. Nearly all the big run totals and the hitting records of the year in the two big leagues have been made against left handlers. to say nothing of long strings of bases on balls interspersed with wild pitches and hit batsmen. It is pos sibIe of course that the port wings will lose some of their kinks after a protracted spell of good old-fashioned hot weather. But if Mir. southpaw as whole Is to break even with his nor maj sided brethren during the sea- son he will have to get a move on him pretty soon.
 Several teams with pennant aspir- ations based much of their hopes when the campaign began on expect co sensational work on the part of their leading left-handers. The most notable case of this kind Is the Bos-
 ton Red Sox. Picked all over the circuit as the probable pennant winner some admirers even laying odds on them against the field. the Red SoS counted on sensational pitching on the part of Dutch Leonard who led the American leagues southpaws last year and Vean Gregg, Cleveland star Of a few years back. who appeared due for another first rate year
