Chips From Rick7vood
By FRED. BoDEKER

New Orleans fandom is beginning to think that the Barons and Chicks are not trying to win the rag, but are only fight ing for second. Last week. either team had an excellent chance to take the lead. The Relicans lost two out of thrce to Chattanooga and last Sunday were de- feated in double bill by the Travellers.
 The reason put forth by the Birming- ham supporters is that Birmingham and Memphis have been locked in a death fight. When one team would win, so would the other However. things are be- ginning to appear a little different now Last week the Barons moved into sec end place by winning four and losing two of the six games they played
 Roy Walkers feat of striking out 15 Mo- bile batters Thursday was a g~eat achievement for the young twirler If only three more of the Gull batters could have been foiled. Dixie would have es- tablished a Southern league record
 
 The strike-out record in the Southern is F men in one game. This honor falls to Harry Mcintyre. who was pitching for Memphis against Shreveport years ago. Harry has since passed out of fame. Walker would have probably broken the record if any of the Gulls had struck out during the first or second innings.
 Holt Mcdowell made a great impression upon the New Orleans scribes by his work there during the Mobile series Holt ha good arm and if he keeps up the slug ging as he has started, look out, you twirlers.
 } If. Memphis had a twirling staff of Merritts, then Memphis would -have hurling stan of merit" says the Knoxville Sentinel. Shall we shoot him or let him live?
 Pete Knise1y is certainly having an off season this year. Old Peter after being used to seeing his average of 350, etc, around the Southern league Is now watching the Chicago papers show what his willow Is doing. The best Peter has been able to clout this year is 241.
 Jimmy Johnston has received a wire- less message commanding him to re- port to Chicago, don uniform get in the game and play good ball and not to question the message. Jimmy was playing good ball with Oakland in the Pacific Coast league but he didn't re- fuse the promotion and trip east
 What do you know about 1t? Such players as Arthur Marcan,S Bill Trough Jimmy Johnston are playing under the of "Rowdy" Elliott on the Oakland club. Who ever thought that "Rowdy" could manage a ball club We'll he's not. His club Is no lower than next to last place and barely that.
 Thirty-seven Southern league bali players and managers have been ex- lied from the scene of action by one Scott Chestnut, an umpire. "Scottye must be trying to set worlds rec ord. But Scotty should worry, the fans will help him, especially the fans from New Orleans.
