There was a swell automobile race in Indianapolis yesterday afternoon. Dario Resta imported a French car a few months ago that was formerly used in the war ambulance service. Incidentally, Dario won the big race. not in record time, but he annexed the big money in pretty nice style. Wilbur D Alene, a young American, attempt ed to uphold the dignity of the nation, but fell slightly short, finishing second.
 Speed maniaes and baseball players had a big day. Double-headers were played all over the entire country, with the exception of the Barons, when an exception usually always applies. It must have been good ball game up in the Bluff City, al- though the bold and battle-scarred didn't annex win. The tribe of the Chickasaws hung up their fourth straight victory and from outward appearances it looks like George Mo- riarity is trying to outshine the Giants.
 Johnny McGraw got his bunch to- gether and they didn't know what de- feat meant until yesterday morning, when one of Johns cast-offs broke up his playhouse. Al Demaree. the for mer Gull and Giant, but now with the champion Phillies, went on the mound in the morning fray and twired a great brand of ball and consequently he accomplished something that no other twirler has been able to do for the last three weeks.
 al uyo thn off always makes the pilot that release him feel a bit peeved at himself It's easy to imagine how Johnny felt after that game.
 But back to the Baron cause. It's not much of a cause, but we must dis cuss it little. Karl Black, otherwise known as Lougenslaugher, failed to have his abundance of benders and decelvers with him at Russwood and consequently the tribe of Chicks scored their second straight win over Mo- ley's bunch Old Bill Robertson, re- gently recalled by Moriarity, pitched grand game against the Barons and was deserving winner The win gave the Chicks the series, as the Barons play the final game of the stay to- day and decamp for Little Rock. where Charlie Starr and his group of Trav-
  elers are taken on for a three-game setto.
 Speaking of Little Rock, it is a sure fact that the Barons will not be forced to accept any rough stuff" from the fans, as was the case in Nashville last Saturday. On Mon- day when the Travellers were playing the Crackers, rough house. fan attempted to talk little unkind to Gibby Gibson, who was playing right field. Gibby found cop and had the fan taken into custody
 The case against him was called in the recorders court, and the judge administered a $10 fine for disturbing the peace. Gibby testified against the : so-called fan who had done the roasting" and the magistrate lost no time in passing his judgment Guess Little Rock is a pretty good town for ball players to visit whether the fans ever see a good game or not

NASHVILLE WINS
 DOUBLE HEADER

Nashville. May 3o.-Nashville took both ends of a double header this aft ernoon from Mobile, winning the first 1 to and the second 4 to 2. Led better pitched both games for Mobile. The games were seven innings by agreement.
 In the first game Ledbetter allowed but three scattered hits but double by Kores, sacrifice, an intentional pass to Lee and a wild pitch gave Nashville the only run of the game. Manager Ellamb drove in three of the four runs which Nashville made in the second game off Ledbetter, who all lowed hits to be punched in the fourth and sixth innings.
 Ellis and Wells were both steady. Kores' error and a throw to the wrong base by Marshall accounting for Mo- bile's two runs. Schmidt's hitting fea- tured the first game. The scores:

CHICKS ADD. ANOTHER

The Chicks matched a run in the sc~- enth out of one hit. Hemingway paved the way with a scorcher between third and short. Ruel bunted to Black; Black made low throw to Derrick at fir6e, but Derrick, after making a nice scoop of the ball, dropped it and Ruel was safe. Hemingway, in a dash for life, went from first to third on the play, when by a pretty slide he slid safely into the third station, beating Derrick's re- turn to. Mcdonald. Robertson helpAd himself to a fresh lead when he sent a long fly to Meusel in center Heming- way scoring on the out. Chadbourne and Kelly were easy outs, but the days work was sufficient for Memphis vic tory
 The Barons had two opportunities to score and two double plays snuffed out these opportunities. The first Baron chance for score came in the fourth, McDonalds grounder and Mcdonald was safe at first. With three and two on Clark, Robertson cranked up and McDon- aid set out for second. Clark struck out and won a perfect shot by Ruel to the waiting hands of Eddie Hemingway, Me Donald slid into his death at second. Coombs went out long drive to Kelly.
 The other Barons' chance came in the sixth and the threat was more serious than in the fourth. The Barons got two hits in this round, the only round in which they found Bobby for more than cofo

Dario Resta Wins Big Auto Race s=
EDITED BY JACK BETHEA
FOOD FOR RANDOM
Ky FRED BODEkEtt

The Vols eased up another notch on the Pelicans yesterday, winning both games of double bill with the GullS, while the Lookouts split with the lead ing Pelicans. The Vols are quite a bit in the rear of the Dobbs club, but little winning streak will witness the Ellam clan perched on the top of the ladder again as the PelS are enjoy ing a slight slump at the present.
 John Dobbs is having trouble, or is just about to have trouble, trying to get along with four pitchers. The staff is showing some signs of wear. Brenton has gotten two hard bump ings recently and Smith looked far from being himself yesterday. It be- gins to look like the Pelican manager will have to abandon his favorite place on the coach lines, where he is the best in the league, and let himelf be bench manager strictly. It's all right with four pitchers so long as nobody is knocked out or no double headers pile up-for the man who can't work every fourth day isn't worth having-bu. it's fierce when some one gets his bumps or a double header chances to become imperative.
 Lil Marcan, the discarded Cracker,
 
 for Charley Frank, on account of long setto with tonislitis, found berth with Douglasville, Ga. From a king pin keystone guardian with the Barons of two years ago-and years before to a post in a Georgia village, is far slip down the ladder.
 Lil's having bit of hard luck every time he turns around Many are of ~.--.~ l1-- .Y playing days, and that it would be to his advantage to latch onto a job managing some team in a low class league. Following his departure from Birmingham, Lil never did play his standard game.
 Tom Tennant, the former Gull who was signed by Dolly Stark before his head was whacked off, has drawn the pink slip at Memphis, George Moriarity yielding the ax. Tom is the same youngster that suffered slightly from a few fist blows from Dickie Robertson at Redwood over month ago. Tennant has signed with Evans vile, in the Central league, where he will play a good game. Tom was nothing but a fair first sacker and was not good enough for Class A ball.
 It is not at all improbable that Leon- ard Dobard, former Mobile shortstop, will be seen in Chickasaw war paint before long and maybe not that long. It is understood the Chicks are negoti- ating with the player. Dobard was sold by Mobile to some small league in the east, but refused to report to his new post. What change Dobard's acquisition by the Chicks would make is not known, but it is probable that he would be placed at shortstop and Eddie Hemingway would return to one of the suburban posts.
 Jack Wallace, Chick catcher, who is laid up with a lame knee, was yester- day placed on the ineligible list Ae- 7 cording to the rules formulated by tha s. l.. lawmakers, Wallace will be un- able to play again for 15 days.
 It's either Dick Robertson or Elmer Ponder today. Which will pit lcrcss the win?

He allowed but two hits, one of which was scratch. Jen- kins starred at bat in both games. Scores.

BARONs ATTEMPT TO SCORE

Hauser bolted through short for a single. and went to second on Blacks sacrifice. Caton took some of the fuzz off Robertson's sox with drive through the box, and Hauser moved up to third. It began to look gloomy for the Chicks. Mcdonald sent a drive to right and the Baron runners set out on what looked like a sure hit. Pete Knisey dashed in and plucked the sphere from his shoe tops. When Hauser and Caton broke back for their bases, Knisely heaved home, when Hauser made second break for the plate. A perfect peg to Ruel headed Hauser off, and Caton, who had started for second, was caught, Ruel to Hemingway, for the third out.
 Manager Moriarity of the Chicks stated that he was undecided on his pitching choice for tomorrow. He will choose from Brown. Barger and Kerr, with it prob able that if Barger is feeling fit that Cy will throw at the Barons in the last Of the series tomorrow. Manager Moles- worth stated he would choose between Dicky Robertson and Elmer Ponder

BLACK PITCHES WELL

Black pitched a brand of baseball that upon the majority of occasions would have crowned him a victor. He allowed eight hits, all of which were singles. The Chicks got five of these hits in the first and fifth innings. two coming in the first and three in the fifth.
 Robertson was not called upon to de- feat the Barons single-handed; he re- ceived assistance from eight willing and helping hands. While the greater DOT ton of the honor rightfuly belongs to big Bill, the victory was also team ,sie.afey. -trda ,air of lightning double plays by the nayicks rendered Robertson some most { sole assistance, and upon each occasion Ntwo Baron heads rolled in the dust when the Barons were threatening se- riously to score.
 The Chicks set out scoring in the fifth with a one-run lead. Eddie fleming way opened the session by outfooting a grounder to Lindsay, playing deep short On hit and run play, fleming way was forced at second on Fuels fast skipper to Clark. Robertson placed Rue1 in scoring sight when he put him on second with a single to center. Charlie Chad bourne drove to right for a single, and Ruel scored, while Robertson took sec- ond. Kelly forced Robertson at thirA, and then Paulette drove out to center to finish the inning.

Memphis, May 30.-tSpeciai.)-Ine Chjckasaw tribe observed Decoration Day at Russwood tkis afternoon. Big Bill Robertson, the Chick pitcher, was master of the ceremony which consfst- ed of decorating the Barons or bfr- mingham with nine goose eggs while the memorial contribution by Bill's playmntes for his efforts was two scores.
 Karl Black, pitcher of the sOuthpaw variety, opposed the Chicks and indeed 1t was a beautiful pitching duel be- tween Black, the left-hander. and Rob- ertson, the rfght-hander. Robertson pitched as near n fawless game today as has been seen in Red Elm bottom this summer and certainly one of the prettiest exhibitions of pitching Big Bill has given since his advent into the Southern league.
 The elongated right,h handler appeared to be short of nothing in pitching wares. He held the Baron batters to four hits all of the single variety, and did not give a base on balls. The Barons, reputed to be the strongest batters on the team, looked like the weaker members before big Bill.
