VOLS TAKE LEAD
 FROM PELS BY WIN

Nashville, June 2.-Nashville took first place today when Dillinger was hit hard in the first inning and the locals piled up a lead which New Orleans was never able to overcome. The score was to 1, errors and sacrifice fly accounting for the only run made off Kroh
 Kauffman's triple in the first inning scored two runs, enough to win the game, but before Dilinger could retire the side, five runs had been made on three singles, two walks, a triple and a double. With Knaupp out of the game on account of an injury, New Orleans presented a patched lineup: Score:

.ESCHEN SIGNED ID . SUPPLANT COOMBS
 IN LEFT GARDEN
Baron Slugger Placed on In. eligible List-Classy New Orleans Fielder Will
 Strengthen BarOns

Little Rock, June 2.-(SpeciaL) Outfielder Jimmy J. Eschen of the New Orleans club today was signed by Manager Carleton Molesworth of the Barons and will play left field field with the Barons here to- morrow afternoon. Cecil Coombs, whom Eschen supplants, will be placed on the Ineligible list.
 The deal with New Orleans had been pending several days, but was not closed until today. Eschen has been instructed to report in Little Rock at once and is due here early tomorrow morning.
 Eschen came to the Pelicans this spring. from Cleveland. He is de- clared to be as fast and classy a man as there is in the league, but Dobbs didn't have room for him and was forced to put him on the inelligble list. Molesworth believes that Eschen will greatly strengthen the Barons' outfeld as Coombs re- gently has been on a bad slump. In the game today Coombs was struck out twice when a hit would probably have meant a run.
 Molesworth's reasons for replac- ing Coombs were not his batting slump, as the above dispatch would indicate, but his trouble with his leg, which has consistently re- fused to yield to treatment. In the first game of the season in New Orleans Coombs sprung a charley horse which has rendered him al- most helpless since. Despite this handicap, he has batted at a won derful clip, and with two weeks rest should get back in the game able to do himself justice. It is remarkable that he should have held up so long under such a physi- cal handicap, and the fact that he has been anxious to play is a tribute to his gameness.

EDITED BY JACK BETHEA

Vols are taken on first in three games. The Travellers then come for a trio of battles to be followed by the high flying Chicks for three games. The Lookouts end the home stay with three games. On the Sun day between the Chicks and the Lookouts the Barons journey over to Memphis for a game.
 Following the home stay, tour over the northern towns of the circuit is started again, the Barons touching Nashville, Memphis and Little Rock and then come home for the stay that includes July A. By that time the Bar ons will be well started on their pen nant drive, ranking with the leaders if they are not themselves.
 There are two sides to the baseball game, etc.
 Casey Jones fans with the bases filled, two out and one run needed to tie.
 Jones failed in the pinch, giving a miserable exhibition of how not to hit flaming on three wide curves. "-- From the home town paper
 Smith weakened in the ninth, but with the bases filled and two out, and the mighty Casey Jones at bat, frightened and famed the great slug ger. It was a wonderful exhibition of twirling on the part of Smith. From the visiting clubs home town paper.
 It's the same old story, TO matter which way she goes.
 Harry (Moose) Mccormick, former pinch hitter for the Giants, manager of Chattanooga, steel salesman, etc., is now handling an independent team at Montclair, N. J., sort of so- ciety affair, backed by an athletic club.
 Dolly Stark's assertion that he could join either Birmingham, Mobile or Atlanta at any time he wished seems to be slightly erroneous. It's a cinch Dolly can't hitch up with the Bar ons. We don't need a player like him, in the first place, and we haven't room for him. His acquisition to the Crackers is practically denied by the signing of Al Bridwell by Frank.
 The only remaining team that made him an offer CD is the Gulls. Bar ney Sheridan, in the Register, has the following to say:
 Dolly Stark, deposed Chick chief states that three clubs are after his services Mobile, Birmingham and At lanta. Dolly could only be used at, one place if taken on by the Gulis- second base. That would mean that Eddie Holly would lose his job. Dolly Stark has been a mighty good ball player; however, he couldn't help Mo bile unles he could outhit Holly, and that Is very doubtful. At best, both are weak hitters, with Holly the steadier fielder of the two. When we make a change let's don't weaken any if we can help it. and such deal as proposed wouldn't help; that is the way we view it.
 He said the long drive landed foul.
 Which killed a certain run. If he had only seen it right
 You know we would have won.
 The difference between a star play and bone is always slight Most times it is merely a matter of luck. If brave attempt plans out cor rectly you are king. but if it fiz- zles your head is made of ivory and your heart is mostly sponge.

bPushwoOd led up to tangle Of rocks The whole plateau was strewn with powders. We were walking, slowly to- ward these rocks, among bushes which reached over our waists, when we be- came aware of q strange, low gabblinG and whistling sound, which filled the air with q constant c1amor and ap- peared to come from some spot imme diately before US. Lord John held up his hand as a signal for us to stop, and he made his way swiftly, stooping and running, to the line of rocks. We saw him peep over them and give gesture of amazement. Then he stood staring as if forgetting us, so utterly entranced was he by what he saw. Finally he waved us to ceme on, holding up his hand as a signal for caution. His whole bearing made ne feel that something very wonderful, but dangerous, lay be- fore us.
 Creeping to his side, we looked over the rocks. The place into which we gaxed was pit and mny in the early days have been one of the smaller vol canic blowholes of the plateau. 1t was bowl shaped, and at the bottom, some hundreds of yards from where we lay, were pools of green scumned, stagnant
 
 was a weird place in itself, but its oc- cupants made it seem like scene from the 'sSeven Circles of Dante" The place was a rookery of pterodac- tyls. There were hundreds of them congregated within view. All the bot tom area around the water edge was alive with their young ones and with hideous mothers breeding upon their leathery, yellowish eggs. From this crawling, Tapping mass of unclean rep tilian life came the shocking clamor which filled the mir and the meph1tic, horrible, musty odor which turned us sick But above, perched each upon it's own stone tall, gray and withereds more like dead and dried specimens than actual living creatures, sat the horrible males, absolutely motionless 1 save for the rolling of their red eyes or an occasional snap of the rattrap peaks as dragon fly went past them. i Their huge membranous wings were closed by folding their forearms, so 1 that they sat like gigantic old women, wrapped in hfdeous web colored shawls, and with their ferocious heads protruding above them! Large and small, not less than thousand of these filthy creatures lay in the hollow before us.
