The Barons had another great day for
 practice yesterday afternoon at Rick
 wood, when they toyed with the Central
 High school aggregation for seven and one-half innings. Final statistics showed that the Barons won the game by ex-
 actly the same score as they did on
 Monday, 27 to 0. The count should IT
 has been as large as it was. Numerous plays in which poor judgment was used p1 esented the Barons with counters.
 The game was a listless affair and
 furnished little competition for the Bar
 ons although it gave them plenty of
 good practice in every department of the
 gar me. The Barons gathered 20 safeties
 off the delivery of the Central twirlers
 a large number being fukes and intield
 scratches Slow fielding also accounts
 for a few safeties while the outfelders

 triples.
 Moley started the game with shifted
 lineup from that on Monday. Derrick
 was sent to bat second, wigh Coombs in
 ''clean-up' position Danny Clark was
 out of the game yesterday with sore
 wing as was Red" Smith. Welch, a
 local amateur, was used at second in
 Dsnny's place.

 ley and showed that he still had his old power with the pill Karl worked well and seldom put anything on the ball. Two hits were secured off his delivery Miller succeeded him in the seventh and was touched for two bingles in two in- nings
