and the Birmingham Barons, who ap' pear to be slightly improved in form.
 The comment of critics points to hot six-club fight for first division positions barring the leadership, which they still concede to Nashville, especially since the Vols have annexed new hurler in the person of McCabe of the St. Louis Browns and a new outfielder as well, who will replace Billy Lee, who goes to St. Louis. It is not believed that the loss of Lee, brilliant player though he is, can shake the Volunteers now that their already strong pitching staff has been bostered.
 The week shows Memphis winning five and losing one; Little Rock taking i've cut of seven, and Atlanta taking five out of eight. Mobile dropped five out of six Chattanooga ended a disastrous slump with Sundays winnings, lost five out of nine, and Birmingham winning four out of six.
 The coming week promises mere ire quent shifts in standing than the league has seen since early season. Atlanta, Chattanooga, Birmingham, Memphis and Little Rock all have a chance with series of straight wins to oust New Orleans from second place, and their re- cent records, coupled with the Felicans slump indicate that such a change may take place.

Atlanta, August 6.-Events of the past week, eliminating today in the double defeat of the New Orleans Pelicans at the hands of the Lookouts, may prove the turning points in the final struggle for the Southern association pennant. The loss of the double-header gave New Orleans a record for the week of six defeats against a single victory and dropped them with in easy striking distance of the Atlanta Crackers.
