Chicks Swamp Moley's Barons

The Barons played poorly yes terday and consequently the same old phrase is repeated-we lost. No ball team could win a game and play like the Barons did yester- day. They made errors and they couldn't hit the ball, while the Chicks were performing exactly opposite, playing like big leaguers throughout the nine innings.
 Karl Black was given his sec ond straight defeat, the Vols trouncing Blackie last week Karl wasn't right and there was no use of him trying to pitch. He was wild and didn't have the stuff to make the Chicks appear baffled. Burleigh Grimes was sent in and had he received any encour- agement from the remainder of the team it is probable that he would have fared much better.
 About the time Burleigh would work himself out of hole an mex cusable error would allow run ner to count Time after time, with runners the bases, the next two men would be retired only to have an error to cause the fans and scribes to rave. After playing such a great brand of ball on Tuesday it was thought that the Barons had struck their stride. but it wasn't so.
 Dolly Sta<k and his Chicks look to be about one of the best teams that has encamped at Redwood this season. Of course they don't compare with the Pelicans or the Vols, but they have as good team as the Travellers or the Crackers. They clearly outclass the Gulls, while their standing with the Lookouts remains to be proved. As to the Barons. they appear to be about on the par.
 Stark as good outfield and especially one well up in fielding. Chadbourne is about the classiest fielder seen in these parts, while Gene Paulette, although he is.nat- urally first sacl&er, fields his po- S1l1On IS the sun SafueH well. Gudie Hemingway in right also looks good, much better than he did when he was with the Barons last year. The infie1d does not appear to be so strong but it will pass. Tom Tennant on first is playing far above expectations while Roy Grimes is hitting well and fielding as good. Stark is playing short himself and needs no introduction to the fans, while Jimmy Walsh, an ex-Federal leaguer, is at the hot corner The infield is good, but it is not the calibre of a pennant contender.

Nashville at Mobile.
 In the poorest game of ball that has been stnged at Rickwood this season the Memphis Chicks opened four game series with the Barons yesterday afternoon by administering a severe defeat to the MoIey clan. Both Karl Black and Burleigh Grimes were pounded hard and aided by six costly errors the Chicks counted Il times, while diminutive Dick Kerr was the Barons' master at all stages of the game.
 The game was witnessed by large reunion crowd and the BarOns took the opportunity of displaying their ability. Karl Black started the affair for the Barons and besides being wild had comparatively nothing. Bnrleis Grimes was called to the rescue in the fourth inning and would have fared much better than he did had he re- ceived any support.
 Dick Kerr found the Barons easy and twirled a fine game for Dolly Stark. He allowed the Barons but five scattered hits none of which went for extra bases, and twirled shutout ball with runner on the paths. He was in danger on but two occasions and both times the runners was cut off at the plate.
 The Chicks took the lead in the second inning. Dolly Stark singled to left and Tennant was hit by pitched ball. Roy Grimes and Wallace went out, but Kerr singled to left, filling the bases. Chad bourne was passed and Stark was forced across. Three more were added in the fourth on three hits and couple of errors. Grimes was passed. Ruel bunted and was safe when Black hit him in the back with the ball while he was running to first both runners advancing a bag. Kerr hit to short and beat it out, Lind

KEROSENE BAD FOR TIRES
Greater Satisfaction VIII Sc Had If
Nothing h"t Water Is Used When
Washing Them.

Washing tires and washing cars are
two different propositions. Water alone
should be used to wash tires and as
little OF it as necessary. After every
run the tires should be wiped with
q damp sponge or well wrung cloth
a common method when washing
q car is to mix kerosene with the wa
ter. This may be advisable when wash
ing the woodwork To- remove mud and
dust from the yarnish, but no kero-
sene should be permitted to reach the
tires, because kerosene eats rubber.
This fact can be readily proved by
immersing small piece OF rubber in
kerosene and allowing it TO soak. The
rubber will soon swell and lose it's
elasticity. The reason for this is ap-
parent. Kerosene is rich in fatty
properties. which remains after the
evaporation OF the gases.
When washing tires II Is best to
use a damp sponge and clean water,
care being taken that the sponge is
not soaked and dripping After wash
ing the tires they should be wiped
dry with a cloth or handful OF waste

another team will be sent to repre-

Swimming is in its infancy in this
country, and this accounts for the
number of records broken during the
