VOLS CONSISTENT
 PLAYING INCREASES
 GAP OVER PEL|CANS
Crackers Apparently Return to Form-BarOns Con- tinue to Better
 Standing

Atlanta, July 16-The apparent return to form of the Atlanta Crackers, consist ing of a double header defeat of New Orleans today, proved the high spot of this weeks race of the Southern associa- tion. Atlanta's revival too, was as sud den and perhaps as unexplainable as the slump which recently cost the crackers nine straight games and their nolo OH third position in the pennant chase.
 Besides the Atlanta victories, which sent the Crackers through the stretch Wlth two games won out of three played the week saw Nashville with five victories against two defeats take a firmer nolo an first place. The Volunteers abetted bv the splendid pitching or Tom Rogers, who took part in three contests, gave convincing evidence that it will take the most brilliant kind of play from New Orleans and Chattanooga to shake them loose from the top of the column position.
 The Volunteers tendency toward steaoy play seems to increaes as the season lengthens and the midseason break freely predicted earlier in the race ap- pears nowhere in sight. It is being pointed out also that the Volunteers are going along with virtually no changes 1n the teams personnel. Manager Eliam organiza ton has made fewer shirts than any of the clubs, with the possible ex- ception of New Orleans
 On the other hand, Atlanta, Chatta- nooga and Memphis are busy just now bolstering their organizations for the final dash. Manager Frank has signed Tom Reilly to replace Infielder McMillan. Mem- phis has acquired Lawrence Cook from the New York Americans and Chatta- nooga has tried out two new pitchers this week, Bacon and Knowlson, the lat ter getting a no-hit, seven-inning game against Memphis Saturday.
 Chattanooga, still climbing toward the top, ended the week with four victories out of seven games in series with Nash- vile and Memphis. The Barons also fared well, winning two out of three Little Rock Mobile and Memphis ended the week with more defeats than vic- tories Little Rock, playing the majority of her games with Nashville, won one and lost four, while Mobile lost the only two games in which the Gulls partci' pated, both to the Birmingham Barons.
 Memphis dropped three out of five.

RACE IN AMERICAN !. LEAGUE CONTINUES
 ID HOLD INTEREST
Yankees and Indians in Hot Fight for the Leadership. Dodgers Still Retain
 Lead in the National

New York, July 16.-The race for the pennant in the American league grows more exciting as the season advances and the end of the last week found New York in first place and Detroit in fifth place, separated by less than 45 points.
 The Polo grounds last week was the scene of some bitterly contested games, as New York played both Cleveland and Detroit. The Yankees slipped back as the results of the visits of the Indians and Tigers, losing six out of nine games. Cleveland took four out of six games from New York and went into the lead for one day, only to lose it Thursday when the Yankees beat them 6 to 3.
 Notwithstanding the victories over New York, Cleveland did not better it's posi- tion greatly.
 Detroit had little trouble beating Wash ington and is nearing the first division again, winning five and losing two games for the week. Boston and Chicago staged a pretty contest for third place. They played double headers on three consecu- tive days, and the Red Sox won four out of the six contests
 In the National league Brooklyn held the lead by a decreased margin over the previous week. Philadelphia and Boston continued their fight for second place and Giants crept back into the first di- vision Brooklyn met unexpectedly strong opposition in both Cincinnati and St. Louis, Boston, winning five and losing one, now is only 30 points behnd Brook ly.
 The Giants, after breaking even in Pitts burg, had better success in Cincinnati and took two extra inning games The Phillies went back slightly, not being able to do better than break even in eight games.
 The sectional results were as follows:

CRACKERS WINNER
 OF DOUBLE HEADER

New Orleans, July 16.-Good pitching by Perry and Brennan and sensational fielding gave Atlanta both ends of double header here today. In the open ing game Perry shut out the Pelicans to 0. and in the second Brennan, al- though hit hard held the locals to one run and enabled the Crackers to win 8 to 1. Townsend relieved Smith in the first game after the contest had been lost. DN1.nger, who pitcher the second game for the Pelicans, was wild and ineffective. Deberry, who played right field for New Orleans in the second game was forced to quit on account of sudden illness. The score:

By q. J, FLOURNoY

Mobile, July 16.-(SpeciaI. )-Bir- mingham won q 12-inning game from the Mobile team here this afternoon by the score of 8 to 2 The visitors sew eral times tried to give the locals the game, but they just would not take it. Grimes worked nine of the 12 innings and allowed but three hits, but he was wild as H boar at times and how the Gulls did not win is considered re- markabIe. Ponder relieved Grimes in the tenth and the second pitcher was also wild at the start and allowed men to get on the bases, but he frightened up in the eleventh and twelfth. In the last frame of the long contest he won the game for the Barons with a hard single to right field.
 The second game was called at the end fthe third inning on account of the Alabama law which prohibits baseball be- ing played after 6 o'clock. The three in- nnigs were farcical, Ponder, who was sent in again, allowing the Mobile batters to engage in batting practice and the visiting fielders would not attempt to field the balls. The three innings do not count. The score stood. $ to l when time was called.
 The first game was a pitchers battle be-ween Ledbetter and Grimes and the latter came out with the best of it, giv- ing up just three hits in the nine rounds that he worked. Ponder gave up no hits What scoring was done by the Gulls in the first contest was due to an error by Clark in missing a ball at the plate, a battery error and Grimes wild pitch. In fact, the Gulls scored two runs in the second inning of this game without the semblance of a hit and a remarka ble thing about the inning was that Grimes struck out the three men.
 GULLS SCORE WITHOUT HIT
 Mobile scored her runs in this manner in the first game: Schmidt first up, went out on three wild swings. Grimes hit Wilcox, who stole second. Holley was the second strike out victim. Swacina grounded to Grimes, who fell all over the ball. and Wilcox went to third. The double steal was attempted and the visi- tors had Wilcox in between third and home.- Nearly every player on the team

GULLS WASTE CHANGES

Tn the ninth inning for Mobile it looked like a cinch that the Barons were beaten. Grimes walked Wilcox on four very wide balls and on a wild pitch by Grimes the runner went to second and on a second wild pitch he took third. Holley popped out to Nc Donald; Swacina walked and was al- lowed to steal second. Ledbetter tried the squeeze and Wilcox was caught on the line. Massey was walked, fill ing the bases J. Burke lost his chance when he went out from Caton to Der rick.
 In the tenth Mobile again had a good opportunity to win the game. Ponder. who succeeded Grimes, walked Mcdowell Burke sacrificed and Me- Dowell took second Ponder purposeiy walked Schmidt. Wilcox grounded to short and Mcdonald dropped Caton's throw. He immediately grabbed the ball and caught Mcdowell as he sliu off the sack. Holley stopped any pos sible chance to end the game when he went out from Mcdonald to Derrick on a fast play
 Mobile was helpless against Ponder in the eleventh. the relief pitcher set ting the Mobile players down in one two three order. He did the same thing in the twelfth.
 Birmingham's opportunity came in the twelfth inning and the pinch hit was delivered by Ponder Coombs, the first man up, went safe on J. Burl $ had throw to first. Clark sacrificed him to second. Derrick was out from third to first and Coombs went to third Smith was given his base on balls and was allowed to steal second. Caton was walked in order to get Ponder for the third man out. Ponder crossed the Gulls with corking hit to left field and Coombs scored easy what was the win ming run. Smith tried to score from second and was caught few feet from the plate.
 For Birmingham, Mcdonald and Ca ton featured with their infield work while Mike Burke starred in outfield for Mobile.
 When it is taken into considera tion that during the nine innings Grimes gave up five bases on balls and made three wild pitches, it is remarkabl that the Barons won the game.

an excellent memory and for the past month has been one of the best hit ters in the league. Pierre of Rome and Mcdonald of Anniston are just about on a par. However. for the whole sea- son Pierre has the better batting aver age. while McDonald has the best field ing average. Both have great arms, though the Anniston man has suffered
 this season from bols on his throw ing arm Because of Pierre's inex-
 haustible pep behind the bat the place will have to go to him. The picking of the four best pitch CTS in the GA. l.. is a hard proposi- tion. There is little difference in Liv- ingston and Wiley of Rome, Osteen of Anniston, Nolley of LaGrange and Wat kins of Newman Then Anderson of Griffin is a good pitcher but is handi- capped because of his inability to have an effective curve ball. Cheney of Tal-
 ladega is good. but is an inconsistent hurler Morrison of Anniston is one Of the very best in the league, but is out of the game with a sore arm. The four best are Livingston, Osteen, Wiley and Nolley. Livingston and Os- teen both are well built men and have the strength to go from g to 14 innings twice a week and pitch effective ball. Osteen pitches as deliberately as any pitcher in the Southern league and has plenty of speed and a good change of pace. Nolley has worked in IS games and has lost only two. Wiley has worked in 19 games and has lost only 3. | Matty Matthews stated today that when he traded Osteen to Anniston he traded | himself out of pennant. The big fellow defeated Newman twice this week, | and Matthews club only got one run 1 and four clean hits off his delivery In | the IS innings.
 ! Watson of Rome, who is a good hitter | and fielder, will easily make the best utility man in the league.
