Another one gone to the bad. The Chicks, after giving the Barons two wallopings out of three attempts at Redwood, invited the Moley clan over to their home grounds and admins tered another little walloping. Yes terday's defeat was 8 shut-out and since 1t came on Sunday, the reversal was felt even more than ever.
 Little Dick Kerr, the best hurler on the Chicks staff, and who pitched Thursdays game for a win against the Barons, was sent back into the fray yesterday by Manager Mortar ty. The midget made an even more creditable showing than on his return to the game against the Barons fol- lowing brief absence. Kerr held the Barons to three measly hits, while the Moriarty clan was collecting an even half a dozen off Burleigh Grimes.
 The defeat of the Barons made it three out of four for the Chicks. The Barons won the second game of the double bill at Redwood Saturday, but in the other games did not offer any real resistance. The defeat did not put the slides under the Barons, however. for the Travellers lost dou- ble bill to the Pelicans, who re- gained the leadership of the league while the Vols were dropping anotSer contest to the lowly Gulls.
 Today the Lookouts come to Bir- mingham for a three-day stay at the historic old battle grounds. General Moley, commander of many a battle, will lead his forces against the FL berfeld bandits who are going at a great clip at the present. They have just completed a severe trouncing to the world beaters, the Pelicans, and the dope, according to ancient tradi- tion, indicates that the Barons will win the series If the old dope" is only true we might. win a few games. We hope it is, anyway.
 Clarence Smith, the former Bar on and resident of West End, but better known to the fans of the Magic City as Pop Boy," has en- tered the hall of fame. Clarence pitched no-hit, no-run game against those terrific hitters of Charley Starr and Bob Allen. Who would have thought it? That's an- other thing in favor of the Barons winning the series from the Look outs. Anything is liable to happen these days and times.
 Pug Cavet twirled a wonderful game for the Gulls yesterday, al- lowing the Nashville Vols but one scratch hit. Gloomy Gus Williams ruined Cavet's chances to don the wreath of honor, obtaining the lone hit that the former Tiger a1- lowed. Pug looks good for many a win yet, despite the consistent rumors afloat that he was to pass ito lower circuit before the clos ing of the Southern league season.
 Gene Paulette must have felt hurt over his aid in helping the Barons win the second game of that double bill Saturday and conse- quently the initial sacker of the Chicks was the shining star in the Chicks victory yesterday. In Sat urdays game, Gene had the first off-day attributed to him since his stay in the Southern league About time he was due one, isn't it?
 Buck" Weaver, who was about to be lured back to the diamond via the Memphis Chicks, belonged to that outfit this week for about two hours Dobbs and Heinnemann both consented to Weaver's return to the game as a member of the Moriarity crew, but for some req son the deal fell through.
 Buck" according to the Pel bosses, wished to cut in for a slice of the purchase money, but the New Orleans moguls wanted it all for themselves, which so peeved Mr. Weaver, that he went back to his Lutcher, La., job. The Chicks, ac- cording to their side of the case, had arranged to pay Mr. Weaver more real money than any slabber in Dixie is drawing, but like MT. Aesops well known fable canine, Buck dropped one bone to make futile snatch at another.
 MT. Dutch" Schmidt pulled the same sort of trick on G. Stallings during the winter league meetings, and as net result saw Mr. Ko- netchy grab his berth on the door for the Braves. Dutch" pulled a stall on Stallings and was called He began barking about quitting the diamond, thinking that the
