FOOD FOR RANDOM

Johnson, in the final game of the bar gain bill. Dickie pitched a good game and for once the Baron infield didn't blow up behind the little spitball finger. The news that Dickie has broken into the win column will cause joy among the fans.
 The Barons return home today for another lengthy stay. Four teams pay their second visit to Redwood and encounter the Barons. The Vols, the league leaders. with Roy Ellam in command, will be the attraction at the field this afternoon. The Vols will be slightly disheartened when they learn that Emmett Key Perryman, no other than the elongated divine will be their opposing moundsman. Moley worked Robertson in Chatta- nooga yesterday in order to save the Preacher for the Vols. So look out, old victory.
 The last time the Vols visited Rick wood a few things happened that are still fresh in the minds of the local fandom. The first one was the fans presentation to Roy Ellam of valu- able gift, and then the second one, which brings the tears, was the los- ing of the series to the Nashville bunch after the Barons had won the first game The worst part of it all Is that the Vols won the games by overcoming a big lead and then snuff ing bold ninth-inning rally, the typi- cal one that Moley has often enticed his charges to begin.
 These Vols are kinder dangerous op- ponents and you gotta watch 'em all the time The game can be rocking along and then big blow-up in the ninth takes the game to the Ellam side. They are chock full of fight and you gotta play a big league game to beat them. With all of these require ments, the Barons are expected to cop at least two games of the series and send the Vols out of town a badly disfgured club.
 According to the Anniston, Moley has promised them a ball player. Well. that's funny. We didn't know that ball players went to the GA. l.. An niston applied for either Caton or Lindsay when they noticed in the Bir- mingham papers that one of the duo would feel the ax soon. Moley replied that both were playing good ball and that neither one would be sold. Moley would have more consideration for player than to send him to the GA. L., anyway
 The following little pair of verses Is dedicated to no other than Those There Barons:"
 They may not be the leading bet, The bright star of the show; Their brilliance may not shine aloft With all the pinkest glow They may not scatter fear and dread With nimble pin and brainy brow, But while they're winning right along You got to hand it to 'em now. "They may not put the Pels to rout, Or pull the swift Vols down; They may not cause John Dobbs alarm Or make Roy Ellam frown; They may fade out and hustle off From those up in the row, But while they're winning right along You got to hand it to 'em now.
 Among other prominent matters of the day is the fact that Dolly Stark intends to leave for San Antonio to close negotiations for the management of that club in the Texas league.
 Stark will confer with George Leidy, who is about ready to toss up the sponge. M ~
 My side isn't ready as yet" states Stark, "but I'll take things slowly un- til it comes around. The prospects look bright there for me as I will make more money than I did here.'
 Stark's case has been a matter of mystery for sometime, but it will re- lieve many fans to learn that he has at last lined up something for the fu- ture.
 Things broke badly for Dolly this spring. Everything he tried went the wrong way and he finally sank for the last time.
