Moley's Men Take the Series From Chicks-Start Well
 With the Travellers
LOOKOUTS AGAIN
 SUFFER DEFEAT
Atlanta Drops Series to Vols-El- lam's Men Show no Signs of h. creased FOrm-The Gulls
 Are Hopeless Case

Atlanta, May 12-Continuing their rapid stride, New Orleans and Bir- mingham this week drew farther away from the field in the race for the pen nant in the Southern association.
 The Pelicans had clean sweep of victories, taking. the early week series from the Chattanooga Lookouts and one from Nashville on Thursday. The second of the series with the Volun- teers yesterday was postponed on ac- count of wet grounds. The two teams will play a double header today
 Birmingham, pushing New Orleans for first place. won four out of five game schedule during the week, thus unfolding it's long line of victories which has recently characterized the Barons as one of the most consistent winning machines in the league
 Atlanta, in third place, lost two out of three to Nashville in it's first games of the week, and taking on the Mem phis Chicks Thursday and Friday snatched two victories
 The Chattanooga Lookouts, while fourth in the league, fared badly dur ing the week, winning only one game that from Mobile. At Mobile yester- day the Lookouts did not play on ac- count of wet grounds.
 Nashville's play during the week gave the Volunteers no additional steps toward the top of the ladder The team broke even in series of four games.
 With a five-game schedule, Memphis lost four taking one of the series from Birmingham. Inability to hit Birming ham and Atlanta pitchers seemed to be the weakness of Manager Donlin's charges.
 The Little Rock Travellers won two of the series with Mobile during the first part of the week, the only vic tories they tallied. In the Barons camp Thursday and yesterday Bir- mingham scored on them heavily in each of the games. Mobile seemed to make little progress during the week, winning only one out of the series with the Lookouts. which gave the Gulls their only victory of the week s play.

7rauelers Take Final Game From Barons

 AND S7ARRLLNGS WIN FINAL STRUGGLE
Bdrons' Crucial Series With Ledding Pels 10 Start Today

will find a team with the spirit which makes pennant winners. That. spirit is the never beaten" attitude which the Barons have cultivated.
 The Bafons, should they continue their victories, must defeat some of the best pitchers in the league The Pel staff is awfully strong Dixie Walker. Dick Robertson, Floyd Kroh, Tom Petty and Clarence Smith, who was recently added to the Dobbers. Walker will probably pitch today and Robertson Tuesday. The Barons will either draw Kroh or Smith in the final game of the series on Wednes- day.
 However, this must also be remem- bered. The Barons have some mighty good twirlers and the Pels must de- feat some good moundsmen to con- tinue their string of victories which is equal and perhaps better than that which local fans are boasting for their team.
 Elmer Ponder will twirl today Mo- ley will either send Carmen Hill or Arthur Johnson to work Tuesday and will send the remaining moundsmen to the hill Wednesday. Black will be held in reserve for relief twirler. Perryman will be saved to open against Atlanta here Thursday.
 This morning the Barons occupy second place. They are exactly two games in the fore of thee locals Should the Barons take all three games, they would return to Birming- ham on the top of the ladder. Two victories and one defeat will cut the Pels lead to one full game.
 After the Barons play the Crackers three games here next week, they hit the road and do not return until June IA. They visit almost every town in the league.
 The present trip is of the utmost importance, although only three games are to be played. Let's hope it turns out for the good.

Skipper Carlton Molesworth and his Barons departed last night for New Orleans, where they open a three game series with the league leading ] Pelicans in the most crucial series of the season. The Barons should they win the entire series from the Pels, will return to Birmingham Thursday to meet the Atlanta Crackers on the top of the ladder of Dixie's major circuit
 Moley stated before leaving last night that he would work Elmer Pom der, his star right-hander, against the Pels today. Johnny Dobbs will prob- ably send Dixie Walker, a speed mer- chant, to the hill to face the Barons On Monday the two teams do not meet but renew hostilities on Tuesday and Wednesday.
 The entire Baron craft is confident. The trip means much to Moley's men and they all realize the importance attached to the three-game clash with the Dobbers. The Pelicans have been going great of late, especially since the Barons handed them three con- secutive defeats at Redwood in the latter part of April
 But our home team has also been playing some ball. The Barons have dropped but four contests out of the last r games played. During the last week the Barons dropped but two of their seven contests, winning five. One game was lost to Memphis and one to Little Rock.
 No doubt the Barons are due for a slump. They have been playing wonderful ball and doubtless have a few bad games in their system. The Pels. in going against the. Barons,

The Traveller southpaw encountered very little trouble with the Barons. He pitched to four men and all were retired. Preacher Perryman, one of Moley's most dependable twirlers, did the box work for the locals, and ragged support by his team mates greatly aided the opposition.
 The Barons made five errors and four of this lot helped the Travellers to pile up larger lead. The Starrlings led the Barons from the start and had the local aggregation fighting a losing uphill battle. Hard hitting accounts for the first Tray eler tally, while three errors paved the way for the second tally. The rally in the eighth was added with hits and an error, the hits being the most common
 PERRY HAS OFF DAY
 Perryman had an off day on the hurling hill. His delivery was smacked for nine solid blows, including a circuit clout by Tex Covington with a runner on rne paths. That was the only extra base hit off the Baron finger, but it came at a moment where 1t decided the game as the Barons's rally in the eighth would have overcome the previous lead.
 Nevertheless, the Travellers won, chiefly because Hardy outguessed the Barons for seven innings. The former Baron hurler worked as slow as ever and as speed king he would probably make a good car washer. However, despite the fact that everybodv expected Omar to get his bumps every inning, he worked out of several nice holes and displayed some real strategy.
 The Travellers scored tally in the second round. Ed Manning opened with a single to center and was forced at sec ond by Kennedy on a grounder to Clark. Yardley lifted Texas leaguer back e second. Boss Charley Starr came through with pinch blow, singling sharply to center and Kennedy tallied. double play checked the rally without further scoring.

STARRLINGS GIVEN RUN

This one run lead held the Barons in check, but in the seventh the Barons de- cided they wanted to add another marker to the Travellers total. Kennedy was safe when Eddie Mcdonald booted his grounder. Yardley bunted to Perryman and Kennedy was forced at second. Kid Caton threw wild to first, attempting to complete a double play and Yardley took second. Charley Starr popped up to Caton. Chapman lifted high fly back of second and Danny Clark, after getting under the ball, allowing it to escape his clutches. Consequently, Yard ley scored.
 The Travellers had a big session in the eighth. Bud Weiser opened with Single to center and was sacrificed to second. Tex Covington slammed a home run to the center field groove, scoring Weiser in front of him. Manning singled to left and stole second. He took third when Haworth threw wild to second. Kennedy hit grounder to Caton and he booted it, Manning scoring. He recovered in time to get Kennedy at first.
 BARONS RALLY LATE
 The Barons scored their only tallies in the eighth when they drove Hardy to the showers. After Haworth had went out, Preacher Perryman secured his annual hit by doubling to right field. Doc John ston cracked a single to right and Perry was held at third. Doc was forced at second on McDonald's grounder to Starr, Perryman scoring. Cecil Coombs walked. Bill Southworth delivered with a pincl blow, doubling to the right field score board. Eddie and Cecil scored Ellis grounded out for the final out of the round after Rube Robinson had assumed the twirling duties
 In the ninth the Barons went out in order. The Barons best chance to tally was in the fifth when they had the bases filled with only one man out Perry man struck out and johnston grounded out
 opportunity they had to score in every inning except the ninth when they had two men on with two out. Tincup flied out. however. The Travellers worked hard for the game and were the deserving winners.
