well, they Qluu f7Sl dW"S "A'H the series after all.
 Preacher" Perryman took 1t up on himself. together with the re- mainder of the Baron team, to give that bunch of high priced players from Little Rock trouncing ana this they did The Barons jumped into the battle right off the reel and after the smoke had cleared away after the first inning, the Barons had counted three times.
 And the score stood that way un- til the seventh inning. when, due to Wares, the speedy shorthelder of the Travellers, the Barons count ed again. With Derrick stationed on third, the visiting shortstop dropped Coombs' high fly back of second and the Baron first sacker rambled across. The Travellers up held the custom that the visiting teams have established this season at Redwood by scoring in the initial session, but Emmett Key broke their custom of scoring fur ther until their ninth trip to the plate.
 The Barons played another error less game of ball yesterday. It was the second time in the series that the Barons performed the trick and it caused a great amount of surprise. Consequently, the few runs that are usually donated were not chalked against the Moley crew and they won handily Together with the fact that the Barons made no errors comes the news that they staged a bit of nifty field ing, although the field was soggy.
 Fred Derrick made a wonderful stop in the sixth inning. when he speared Mannings drive that was labeled for double and possi- bly triple. Fred made dive at the flying spheriod and it hit his pad. It was a plain case of nigh way robbery. but what do we care.
 Cecil Coombs came near pulling Dear" in the ninth inning, when he trapped Charlie 'Starr's liner. Cecil was playing rather deep for left handed swatter and Charlie hit one on the nose, bound for the sunfeld. Cecil started after it and after hard run missed catching it on the fly only by inches. With a fast field, Cecil would have pulled an almost Impossible catch.
 Danny Clark missed getting another circuit clout yesterday only by inches Danny hit one of LeClaire's fast ones solid and it hit the top of the score beard, going for double. Danny put two over the fence in succession last week against the Vols and it appeared that he was upholding his reputation when the pill started on it's long flight
 In the third inning of yesterdays game an unusual feature occurred. Le- Claire pitched but three balls for the inning, which lasted slightly under a minute. Meusel, Coombs and Clark were the batters that hit the first ball offered them and all went into the air for an easy out. An incident like this doesn't occur often and especially at Redwood, where long games are spe- cialties.
 Jack OToole and Theodore Breiten- stein, two of President Baugh's um- pires, were spectators at the game yesterday, arriving from Atlanta and Mobile, respectively. They will work in today's game.
 The Barons take on the Memphis Chicks at Redwood this afternoon in the first of four-game series. Karl Black is slated to do the mound duty for the Barons. Whether Dolly Stark or George Moriarity will be in charge Of the team remains to be seen. Dolly was relieved of his command Monday but whether the former Tiger third sacker has taken charge of the eel lar occupants is in doubt.
 Two former Barons are members of the Chicks. Jack Wallace, the popu- lar receiver of the Barons last year, is doing the majority of the catching for the Chicks, while Eddie Heming- way, another member of the Barons in the earlier part of the season, is play ing right field. Peter Knsely, the Baron who led the league In hitting in 1914, was a member of the Chicks until Saturday when he drew his walking papers.
 Mobile papers banned Carroll Brown for his slowness in the Bay town. Brown was conferring favor on Dixie fans by working for them ac- cording to the Gull scribes. If his work continues as wild and as woolly as it has been, his condescending man nerism may no longer be appreciated in these parts. In fact, Carroll may not even be on deck for a home
