Good morning, gents!
Feeling fine, but there's certain ly swell reason.

Feeling fine, but there's certain ly a swell reason.
 Old double wins are welcomed things around this region. Moley and his cohorts romped all over the Elberfeld crew yesterday and consequently we did some lively advancing.
 Passing two teams in one day is some moving. But that's exactly what the tribe of c. Moley did to those Lookouts. The double win came in mighty handy. The Barons were occupying seventh place at the beginning of the double bill and before dark had covered Bir- mingham, the Barons were occupy ing fifth place.
 The Chicks and the Travellers were both on top of the Barons. The Gulls dealt out walloping to the Chicks and although the Trav- elers won out over the Pelicans, the feat of two wins in one day for the Barons was too much and conse- quently little rising was accom- pltshed without the slightest hitch.
 The Baron team is alone to blame for the whole affair. Their bats pounded across the italics in the opening session, while the generos- ity of the Lookout twirlers was combined with safeties in the second setto and a double victory st r1ajo oI, Gr;v, pitched the first game and needless to say we won. Burleigh con- tinued to hur1 sensational brand of ball and all indications were that the Lookouts didn't have any, more chance of scoring off Burleigh than the Athletics have of win ming the American league rag, and that's a million below zero.
 The first victory cannot be ques- toned as the Barons pounded across enough tallies to win in the first session. Arthur Johnson didn't have anything like a jinx to pass off on the Barons. and if he did, 1t certainly could not be distinguished. Howard Merritt and Tom Knowl- son were rather generous and aided the Barons materially in the SCOT ing. Elmer Ponder showed a slight tendency to follow suit, but Moley was quick with the rescue stuff and the second setto was saved as Herr Lougenslager was invinci- ble
 The double win came at very opportune moment. The double kill ing of the Lookouts puts the Barons back in the running for the rag. The Lookouts are just few games ahead of the Barons, and a couple more wins from the Elberfeld bunch will put the Barons in the first division. The Crackers are a notch higher with only a few games advantage, and the Vols and Pels just a little bit higher and a few wins-gosh. that's enough.
 The Lookouts are certainly pitt full with their leader, Kid Elberfeld out of the game. The Kid is cer- tainly one more scrapper and the entire 'Noogan outfit looks like it's about ready to collapse with the Tobasco Kid warming the bench. The Kid had better get his leg back in shape or else the Look outs will be pushing the Gulls for
 
 chance of the Kid getting back in the game, either-so there you are.
 Danny Clark had his eye on the old apple yesterday and did some effective swatting. In fact, Danny used his bludgeon for wonderful results in the first game, driving in the majority of the Baron tallies. Danny's playing swell game around the keystone these days and in fact the entire aggrega- tion is playing 8 brand of ball that makes a hit with the fans.
 Yesterday, for the first time In a long time, the fans joined in to help the Barons win a ball game. In the sec ond game, the fans efforts to rattle Knowlson was successful and thus the Barons were aided in copping the sec ond game. The fans were pulling good and proper for the Barons to win a double bill, but they wouldn't come right out and admit it. The teams
