yesterday, playing his old position in the sunfield. Cecil's leg is not en- tirely well as yet, but it is sufficiently well for him to be in the game and help the Barons with his mighty stick. Cecils timely wallop in the eighth accounts for two of the Barons runs He fielded his position perfectly
 The Travellers presented their full strength yesterday with the exception of Larue Kirby. The full array of hitters that is supposed to be the most dangerous in the circuit, was neld to six safeties. The Travellers would be no stronger, however, with Kirby in the lineup, for Rumler, the sec ond receiver, is fully as dangerous and as competent in the field. The en- tire Traveller aggregation swats the pill at all stages of the game and are chucked full of pep. A little piching strength is all they need to round out a pennant chasing team.
 LeClaire, the Canadian, will be Charlie Starr's choice in today's game while Moley will send Karl Black to the hill in an effort to secure win and even the series. Blackie has been going good having three victories and one defeat to his credit. LeClaire has been getting his bumps right along and it would not be surprising to see the Barons give him another one this afternoon.
 Dolly Stark is no longer Southern league pilot. Dolly received his pass ports yesterday after the failure of the Memphis Chicks to show the form expected. The Chicks have been mak- ing an awfully poor showing to date with the calibre of players that Stark had, and the removal of the former Vol came as no great surprise.
 Dolly will be succeeded by George Moriarity, the former third sacker for the Detroit Tigers. Moriarity is now the property of the Chicago Americans who secured him via the waiver pro- cess. It was announced in Chicago yesterday that The would be released to Memphis, where he is slated to manage the club.'' Moriarity is a vet eran of the game, having seen years of service under Hughie Jennings. He was member of the Tigers when the Jennings aggregation was at the height of its fame.
 It is doubtful as to whether Moriarity will enter the lineup for the Chicks. When Stark was informed of the deal in Atlanta yesterday he did not ap- pear to be startled and said that he
 was willing to take his medicine" Just what Dolly can mean is mys- tery for he is not supposed to have committed any crime. Dolly was never popular over the circuit and his pass ing from the managerial role will not cause any large amount of grief.
 The Pelicans took lead of a game and a half on the Southern league yesterday by handing the Nashville Vols another drubbling and copping the series with three games to one. The Vols twirlers were pounded un- mercifully by the heavy hitting Pels, who showed no partiality. The defeat of the Ellam crew so decisively did not create very much surprise, for the Pels are generally admitted to have the better team and especially pitchers.
 The defeat of the Barons yesterday caused them to drop to the second division as both the Crackers and the Lookouts won. Consequently, the Lookouts are at the 800 mark for the first time this season and fandom In Chattanooga is said to be elated over the showing of the Elberfeld clan, which was given the cellar position by well informed critics before the opening of the season. The Lookouts are in Birmingham for 8 series with the Barons on next Monday, which completes the long home stay of the Barons.
