MOBILE GULLS
 SCORE IN FIRST

Mobile scored their first run in the opening inning when Northen singled and was forced at second when Cal hcun bunted to Black, the latter be- ing safe at first. Flick hit ball high over Sloans head in right which the fielder just did get his hands on and 1t went for a double, Calhoun scoring.
 Birmingham tied the count in the second when Coonbs, first up, drove the ball over the left field fence for a home run.
 4 triple and three singles gave the home club two runs in the second and put them out in front.
 In the third Mobile got to Black for two doubles and two singles and count ed three runs. After this Black tight ened up and held Mobile to two hits.
 The Barons made flash in the ninth when E1lam, first up, singled to right and scored on Sloan's triple in right, the latter crossing the plate on Coomb's sacrifice fly to left.
 The. Birmingham team left here to- night for home and Mobile departed for Atlanta.

Popular Outfielder Injured in Batting Practice-Hos-
 pital List Grows

Word came from Mobile last night that Cecil Coombs. the slugging utility man who has so capably replaced Clyde Mc- Bride in left field. had been injured in practice prior to the game yesterday aft ernoon. In batting practice Coombs was hit with pitched ball on the ankle, but got into the game and played in sensa- tlonal form. coombs secured homes run. and his sacrifice fly in the ninth scored another run. Tn the field coomhs made a beautiful running catch which robbed Gull of three-base hit.
 After the game Coombs retiredet his room at the hotel and discovered that his ankle was badly sprained. This.lnjury may keep him out of the game for at least several days As Coombs Twas hit ting for .2ss his injury at the present Is serious blow to the Barons.
 The present hospital list of the Barons is composed of Outfelders Mclsride and coombs. Infielder Clark and Pitcher Hard- grove. Others who are not in fthe best Of health are Carroll, Magee and Heming- way
 Should neither coombs ori Mcbride re able to play this aftefnoon 1t is likely that one of the pitchers will play the outfield thls afternoon unless Molesworth signs up Hughey Shaw, recently released by Little Rock. 1t is understood that Shaw is still in town, and a free agent, looking for job.
 Pitcher Elmer Ponder. also the property of the Barons, is in town as the Fort Worth club is rather delinquent about forwarding transportation for the pitcher. Ponder has the makings of good pitcher and may stick if he getsia chance

leans Pelicans. On this series depends the hopes of Molesworth to win an- other pennant. If the Barors are de- cisively defeated in the forthcoming series local fans must face the fact that the Barons will be fortunate to finish in the first division. On the other hand should the Baronial band gather courage and trounce the Peli- cans there Is high hopes for their future performances.
 On the road the burden of the work fell on the shoulders of Ellam, Sloan. Coombs and Wallace. All four of the pitchers did excellent work despite numerous wallopings.
 Roy Elam really found himself on the road and batted himself into the 300 circle. Tod Sloan, always a con sstent hard hitter. never faltered. Cecil Coombs, forced into the game by the illness of Clyde Mcbride, came through with some timely batting and good fielding. Catcher Wallace re- placed Carroll on first base when Clark was injured and has played a remarkable game In the field and at bat. 'Jeems" Magee also must be mentioned as a Baron who, despite in- different health, has played the game for all 1t was worth, all the time. Magee did his best.
 Of the dlsappointments on the trip we'll why rub it in? We guess the fellows who slumped feel as badly about 1t as the fans.
 Burlegh Grimes will assay to down the Pelicans this afternoon. In his last game Grimes held the Gulls to . two hits. Let us hope he will repeat today.
 Should Mcbride return to the game today. Coombs will go to second base and Carroll to first. Shotgun" John Wallace will then donned the pads and mask. which will bring the Barons to normal fighting strength.

FRED'S COMMENT
 ON THE AMATEURS

Bessemer seems to-bes proud of her team in the T, c. I. league. Crowds turn out to see their games and everyone is there with a good word of encourage
 .nent. No doubt this is the chief cause of their remarkable string of victories They have now eight to their credit.
 Mineral Springs surprised the fans of
 the Miners league Saturday when they
 sprung into the lead. Brookside re-
 ceived her first drubbing of the year and
 is now due to slump. Mineral Springs
 will be a hard team to remove from the
 top.
 "Tite" Didlake received his usua,
 pumping Saturday when he attempted
 to do the hurling for the Y. M. c. A.
 cubs. "Tite" seemed to be entirely free from any sort of effective "stuff," and he was hammered all over the lot Bril- liant fielding made the low score. with every Saturday the number of forfeited games increases. The reason is hard to explain, but the only reason we can see is because of their lack of "titney fare" The failure to show up at the appointed time slackens the in terest of the boys. as we'll as the fans that appear to see the game.
 The addition of new men to several teams added strength to several Sat- rrday. Many teams won their first battle and showed material signs of improve ment. This is encouraging as many teams tasted victory for the first time. We wouldn't be surprised to see some of the high flying leaders of several of the circuits begin to take their annual slump. Not single leader in the city leagues has suffered any sign of the dreaded weakness and a Baron slump
 at the present would prove disastrous to some of the top notchers
 l Pep-to-Lac< failed to play Saturday and consequently their winning collec- | tion goes on unharmed. These boys had better be careful and take all precau- tions to warn off a slight reversal in | form.
 l All of the results Saturday only changed a few teams in the circuit standing, but as to placing them closer | together, the national pastime certainly did accomplish it's work. The teams gre l nearer than ever before during the present season. which shows the even l balance of many of the different com
 binations

TAIL the "conauering heroes?"
 The Barons are back at Rick \ \ wood Field for the remainder of the week after boisterous trip around with the northern clubs. We will now have a chance to see the Baroniai "jinx" at work.
 The road trip started off badly. The series in Memphis was curtailed by inclement weather and the two games played were won by the Chicks In Little Rock the Barons split even and repeated in Nashville but Chattanooga walloped us three out of four. Then victory was sandwiched In at home last Friday and Saturday the Barons won at Mobile, but Sunday and yes terday we were ingloriously defeated.
 
 Summing up the record of the 19 games played since the Barons left Birmingham we find a total of seven victories, one tie game and Il defeats Not such a bad record when one con siders the numerous players on the Baronial squad that have suffered in- juries and the fact that only four pitchers are available for duty.
 On the road the Barons really won only six games as the one won last Friday must be counted as home affair. Still figuring on seven vic tories and il defeats we find that the Barons have been playing for the last three weeks at .3s9 clip. Only for the fact that all the leading teams were suffering reverses the Barons would now be way down in the race instead of holding third place.
