CONTRABANDL|S OF ITALY RECEIVED List Shows Close Conformity to That of the British
 Government

Washington, July 27.-The Italian contraband list and royal decree gov erning Italy's attitude toward neutral shipping reached the state department today. The list shows close conformi- ty to that of the British government. Notifications of the rules outlined in the Declaration of London also follow those made by Great Britain and in- clude the provision that goods shipped to neutral countries must be consigned to an individual and not merely ito order"
 The decree, issued by the Duke of Savoy. Nthe Kings lieutenant in the ab- sence of the ruler at the front. au- thorizes a blockade of neutral coasts if 1t Is established that the enemy Is sup- plying its armed forces from such ter ritory.

modore Orcutt begins calling out antics of the winning Barons at the Greenwood Cave.
 The latest figures show that Bill Lindsay Is slowly climbing in bat ting percentage. Bill appears to be a fixture for the remainder of the season at third base.
 Another fixture on the present squad is Mickey Coyle at first base.
 Ever since the advent of the former Pelican at the initial sack the Barons have been winning and Coyle has been hitting. That combination is hard to beat.
 Despite the numerous hard and time ly base knocks of Lord Cecil Coomps. he is only hitting for .2o5. That's all right, old Cecil, your hits usually come when they are needed and that makes you one of the most valuable players on the Baron team.
 Either Perryman or Johnson Will face the Lookouts this afternoon. Either one should be able to garner the scalp of the hapless Noogans.
 
 Local fans are beginning to sit up and take notice of the stirling work of the Barons Here we have club without a single distinct star player on it's rooster, and the majority or whom are low salarled men; yet we find in the last week of July, the Barons in second place and threatening to assume the leadership of the league. We cannot just divine how 1t happens. but Carleton Molesworth seems to have knack of winning ball games without playing talent. A safe bet is that managerial talent is valuable asset after all. We are strong for Moley as a manager and player.

FEW ORLEANS was defeated M yesterday which makes the margin separating first place and the Barons quite close. A matter of two games as it were. It is in fact possible to predict that the Barons will overhaul the Pelicans within two weeks.
 Thanks. MT. Cunningham.
 
 MT. Cunningham is the youthful spitballer that took the measure of the Pelicans yesterday and loyal Barons should send him a postal card with a message of congratula. tions.
 Incidently. Cunningham is some class as pitcehr-he easily trounced the Barons on his last ap- pearance at Redwood Field
 Today the Barons tackle the Lookouts.
 What the Lookouts may. do to the Barons may be considerable, and then again they may prove the easiest kind of picking for Moley and his clan. We sincerely hope SO With the Barons idle yesterday sporting news was at premium
