INDICATIONS SAY TIME WILL WITNESS TIGHTENING IN RACE Four Teams Battling to Rise from Second Division.
 Vols Slump-Crack-
 CTS Start Drive

Atlanta, June 24.-Fain. indications that the next few weeks will witness real tightening in the race for the Southern association pennant has pro- volled recent comment around the cir- cult tending to show tha. the process already has begun.
 Experts point to Nashville's slump. the fairly consistent play of the Look outs and Atlanta's rapid drive. check ed yesterday. however. by the loss of double header in Chattanooga, as eyi- dence that forecasts change.
 The New Orleans Pelicars. who still retain the lead. too, with a percent age only a trifle less than that of q month ago, are back on the road after long home stay which gave them their margin at the top of the column. These critics contend the Pclicans' previous road record is a sign that the team will return home with a per- centage considerably lower than at present
 Birmingham's Coal Barons, Little Rock, Memphis and Mobile, the clubs which have made up the second df- visions consistently for the past month. have crept up on the leaders and, at least two, from time to time, have been crowding the Lookouts for fourth place. a berth alternated by that team and the Crackers until Atlanta's recent spurt.
 The general opinion is that unless the Volunteers recover their earlier batting stride and New Orleans fails to follow it's traditional road form. an- other fortnight will find startling changes in the struggle. or at least show the clubs emerging into the final stretch engaged in far more Cf con- test than the league has shown thus far
