The Mobile Gulls appear to be the hoodoo club of the Barons.
 sss
 It begins to look as if Charley Schmidt takes particular delight in trimming the Barons. And he does 1t so consistently.
 Bunched hits in the third and fifth innings spelled the defeat of Burleigh Grimes. In those stanzas the wallop- ing Gulls got next to the swift shoots of the hefty Barons for quartet of counters.
 The Barons managed to garner eight bingles off the delivery of Brad ley Hogg, but were unable to bunch them effectively-and thereby hangs the tale of another lost game.
 It is currently rumored that Perry season and who is now with the St. Louis Browns, may be seen in Baron uniform before many more days pass. The faltering of Hardgrove means that another high class pitcher must be secured to keep the Barons well up in the race.
 Burleigh Grimes has so much on the ball this season that he is unusually wild. Yesterday his six passes were costly.
 Edson Hemingway is still rapping the pill in a delightful manner. Yes- terday Edson secured timely double and single, and fielded his position 5 errorlessly The playing of fleming way always scintillates.
 Another game with the Gulls this afternoon and the Barons hie them selves to Atlanta for a four-game series. Dave Roth will likely be on the mound this afternoon in Gulltown. Nashville kept up her headlong dash yesterday by easily defeating Mem phis. However, when the Vols visit Birmingham on May r the Barons will stop them.
 Nashville is making a runaway race of 1t now, but the Vols position ia

devotee to the sport I would strongly

 velopment both mental and physical and
 make us better able to cope with the af- fairs of life
 Almost every outdoor sport is increas- ing rapidly in popularity, and surely there Is no more healthful recreation than trapshooting, especially in the case of the eternal feminine. It smacks of fearlessness and ambition. It develops quickness. concentration, and accuracy of both vision and judgment. It is one of the best nerve toncs that I know of and it not only steadies the nerves, but it strengthens the muscles as well.
 I heard of woman not long ago who left at home by herself in the country scared burglars away with her shotgun. When we consider the number of cases of nervous prostration reported in the daily papers of women who have been fright ened in a similar way 1t surely makes me
 wonder why more women have not learned to shoot. The sport is by no means expensive, and what it will do in helping a woman to overcome her natural timdity and fear of firearms-the pleasure and recreation it offers-is well worth while.

The Gulls secured eight hits, the majority of which went to the inficld, which they beat out and when the runners got on the bases they did some fast work on the paths.
 Grimes was not st his best and walked six men and hit another and ell this figured in the loss of the game to the locals. Magee featured the con test with n long running catch in cen ter field of ball that was hit in chat territory by Northcn. sionn robbeu Schmidt of n homer in the ninth when he stuck his hand above the righ field fence and caught n hall that was going over.
 Mobile scored a run in the first on base on balls, a hit batsman, a sacrlhce hit and an infield hit near third.
 The Gulls put two more runs across the plate in the third inning on a double py Hogg a walk to Powell and triple py Schmidt. Tn the fifth inning Mobile added two more to the count on three hits, two of which were in the intield and last base running by Perry and Schmidt.
