competent of playing winning ball, and there's no excuse for the pitiable exhibition of ball that has been the offering until yesterday.
 If the team continues to play the kind of ball that they did yesterday, the Barons will be playing to capacity at Redwood. The team was greatly strengthened yesterday with the re- turn of Fred Derrick to first base. Mike Hauser will be out of the game for the next few days on account of Illness. Mike was not in uniform yes- terday and Moley had Cecil Coombs and the bat boy in line to help out.
 Emil Meusel and Jimmy Eschen certainly batted that ball yester- day, to say nothing of Red" Smith. The two outfielders se- cured three safeties in four trips to the plate, while Red" connected safely twice in four attempts Larue Kirby robbed Meusel of a hit on his fourth trip to the plate by knocking down his drive through the box. Every man on the team gets credit for securing a safety off Hoff and Kirby with the exception of Tex Mcdonald and Fred Derrick.
 Omar Hardgrove will face the Barons in the final game of the series today. The old master will oppose either Elmer Ponder. the big Texas league recruit, or Preacher" Perryman. The Barons are going out to win the fracas, and if they put up the same brand of ball as they did yesterday, it's a cinch that no Travellers will have the license to win. If the boys can keep the old pep. there's no doubt as to the outcome. It's a Baron victory If they do.
 The Nashville Vols jump back into the leadership of the league today. The Ellam clan defeated the Pelicans in the final game of the series. Gloomy Gus Williams triple with a couple of men on base paved the way for the Vol victory and hence the regaining of the first honors. Tom Rogers did the twirling for the Vols against "Pop Boy" Smith.
 The victory of the Barons yes- terday put them back in sixth place by full game margin. The Mem- phis Chicks. our hot rivals, lost to the Atlanta Crackers in a game featured by ragged fielding. The Barons were about as near to the bottom of the ladder yesterday morning as they desire to get and an upward climb can now be ex- pected. Even the best of teams have their slumps, and now that the Barons have had one, it's safe to predict little winning streak that will last for the remainder of the season.

Braves and Reds Draw

Boston, June 13.-Cincinnati and Bos- ton played for 16 innings, neither team being able to score and darkness finally necessitated calling the game. Toney and Schneider held the Braves to three hits.
 C1ncinnati's hits were numerous, but they were well scattered and the Braves were strong defensively. With three on bases and two out in the twelfth, Clarke, batting for Toney, drove terrific liner which Rudolph stopped with his bare hand and retired the batter The Braves made a desperate effort in their half of the same inning. With Fitzpatrick on second, Compton hit in front of the plate and Fitzpatrick tried to come all the way home while Wingo was throwing out the batter, Molwitz returned the throw to Groh for a double play at the plate. A suction pump was used to drain the dia-
 mond before play began, owing to a heavy downpour of rain. Score: R. H. E.. Cincinnati ..... COG 600 900 900 900 0-0 12 2 Boston ....... 900 900 900 GOO 900 GO 3 s Batteries: Toney. Schneider and Win go; Rudolph, Hughes and Tragesser, GOWdy.

Birmingham showed a complete re- versal of form over previous games oi the past series in the second game oi the series with the Little Rock Trav- Field and easily won the contest be- fore a large ladies' day crowd. The final count was to 2. The Barons com- pIeteIy outpIayed the Starr aSgrega- ton and led the attack throughout.
 Diminutive Dick Robertson was on the hill for the Barins and pitched a swell game. Dick allowed the Trav- elers II safeties. but none went Tor extra bases and with the hassOcks Oc- cupied, the Travellers found Dickie's splitter unhitabIe. The Barons played a fine game in the field behind the little spitball twirler, gObbling up every sembIance of a hit that came anywhere near their reach.
 Lefty Hoff started the twirling ac- tivities for the Travellers, and lasted but five innings against the heavy hitting Barons. Larue Kirby was called in from the outfield and he fared some better during his stay on the hill. Poor field ing helped the Barons run up the score as well as nifty base running which took the Starrlings by surprise.
 The Barons took the lead in the first inning With two gone, Eddie McDon- ald walked and scored when Emil Meu- sers scorching single to left escaped Manning. The Barons added another c single, E. Mcdonald hit by pitcher and Meusels safety to center. In the fourth Red" Smiths single and steal of sec- ond with Dick Robertson's clean drive to center scored another tally. Three runs were scored when he beat Wares throw to the plate after c. McDonald' s grounder. Danny Clark smacked one to center that Jacobson let by and the new Baron scored with Danny stopping at Danny scored, Derrick bunting the ball down the third base line.
 BARONS SCORE OFF KIRBY
 The Barons scored run off Kirby in the next inning. Eschen walked. Caton bunted and beat it out. Tex Covington threw wild to third in an effort to head Eschen and the Baron outfielder scored The final score came in the seventh ses- sion. Derrick was hit by a pitched ball, and was sacrificed to second. He took third on Hobbies infied out and scored on Eschens screaming double to center.
 The Travellers first run came in the third inning. With one down. Gibby Gib- son slammed one to center and stole sec ond immediately Hoff single cleanly to left and Meusel's perfect peg to the plate barely cut Gibson off. Hoff took second on the out. Tex Co~ington singled to left and Hoff counted.
 The Travellers were held scoreless un- til the ninth when Robbie eased up and together with an error gained counter. With one down, Walter Barbare gained

AUTOMOBILES AND ADVERTISING.

Here two significant facts of modern life
Fact 1.-The of automobiles has multiplied beyond the dreams
of of the people who used to sell them few
Fact 2The of money in advertising automobiles in
perfectly The larger newspapers whole of
this advertising Money poured like water the magazines
Millions spent with small city and country bring
the story close the home constituency and help the local dealer
Can doubt that these facts each other
effect? Could the sale of automobiles be half large
today the advantages of buying them continually brought
the public attention? Every time picks these
papers magazines the latent desire existing his mind
automobile is fed and magnfed Quescen the grows
every time by the pictures he and the description that he reads
Soon he is the local dealers taking demonstration The re
suit is obvious Advertising did it.
The thing has been done in many other kinds of goods the
sale of which could be doubled qnaduped by similar adve
Using campaign.
When grocer advertising luscious food product
he begins it, The that latent in his mind begins
to assert itself If he reads that advertisement day after day nc
realizes that just the thing he has been longing for The
he passes that grOcers he drops in and tries it out
Advertising did it.
