The second game of the series between the Barons and the Look outs will be staged this afternoon at Redwood. Boss Moley was un- decided last night who he would send against the 'Noogans, but 1t is probable that Karl Black will be his selection. Bacon or Perduo will hurl for Elberfeld.
 The Barons played good ball yesterday and showed no earmarks of faltering aggregation. The victory yesterday started the long home stay successfully and with the 16 more games to be played on home soil the Barons should win a greater majority.
 Billy Southworth did not break into the lineup yesterday, as ex- pected. Moley does not want to take any chances with the speedy gardener and will not put him in the game until his injured should

JUNIORS CONTINUE ID STAGE MATCHES Rain Fails to Halt the Y. M. c. A. Tourney for
 Youths

The Young Mems Christian association is playing off the tennis matches between showers and so far is up to the sched- ule set for the tournament. If the rain will hold off for a few days the finals will be played Saturday afternoon TEere were three good matches played Wednes- day afternoon and resulted in wins for Martinsen over Foster, c. Blake over Jackson and Davis over Jacobs.
 Blake had an easy time with his op- ponent and won in two straight sets, 6-1, 6-1. The Blake brothers have. had an easy time up to date, but today it will be brother against brother and the match promises to be close one.
 Martinsen disposed of Foster in two straight sets which slightly upset the dope Martinsen uses different style of play from any of the youngsters in the district and it proved too much for Foster. He plays a very aggressive net game and puts his opponent on the de- fense at the first opening. The play be- tween these two stars was very spec tacular and furnished a good exhibition for those who witnessed the match.
 Foster started in as if to win both sets, having the advantage of S-l, and 4-l only to loose it to his peppery opponent from Connecticut. Martinsen soon dis covered that Foster was having trouble with his backhand and began to place his shots there at every opportunity. This coupled with his aggressive game at the net, won for him. Foster showed a terrific service and when he gets it well under control will be hard man to beat. Score, 7-5 6-4
 Davis and Jacobs had the closest match of the afternoon, and Davis was forced to go the limit of three sets for a de- cision Davis finally won out after Ja- cobs took tke first set. The match was featured by the ability each man dis played in placing his shots. Score, S-6, 6-4, 6-4
 Matches today are: Blake vs. Blake, Davis vs. Mccoy, Smith ys. Martinsen and Jackson.
