ers has been steady. and needless to
say very excellent.
Every team in the league has
failed to stop the onward rush Of the
Crackers, and today Moley and his
men will lock horns with the league
leaders in a final effort to gain few
games in the race for the Southern
league rag.
Moley will send Ralph Comstock
against the Crackers this afternoon,
while Tom Sheehan, the Crackers
best, will probably oppose the Bar
ons.
FOUR WINS ESSENTIAL
There is no doubt but the Barons
will give the leaders an awful bat
tie To materially better their stand
ing, however, the Barons must take
all four games from the visitors.
While the Barons are IN the death
dealing battle with the Crackers, the
Pelicans will be idle for the majority
of the time. On Friday, Johnny
Dobbs sends his men against the
Mobile Gulls in a start OF four
game series.
The odds favor the Crackers, 1t is
true, on the series. The Barons are
inferior hitters and fielders, but

Today is the start of the most cru
cial series Of the season for Carlton
Molesworth's Barons and Charley
Franks Crackers The first clash of
a four-game series is scheduled this
afternoon at Redwood.
Boss Moley and his band of Barons
return early this morning from Chat
tanooga, where they completed a sue
cessful four-game stay in Lookout
Vile yesterday. OF the four games
played, the Barons annexed three,
dropping yesterdays game by a de-
cisive score.
Frank and his men took three ia
row from the Nashville Vols, includ-
ing a double victory yesterday. This
pair of victories for the Frankmen
while the Lookouts were humbling the
Barons gave the Georgians six and
-half-game lead over the Moley-
ties on the eve of their strenuous
battle.
TEAMS TO FIGHT
The series is expected to be the
most strenuously contested staged at
Fleetwood this season. The Barons
are staging a terrible Comeback at
the present and their work Tor the
past two weeks has been most en-
couraging. The work of the Crack

Thrasher hit safely on each of his

plans to send Comstock, Milligan, Hill
and Ponder against the leaders in the
order named, and should defeat be
dealt the local clan, some of the
leagues best pitchers will be con-
quored in the said accomplishment
BARONS FAR BEHIND
The Crackers top the Barons by six
games and one-half. The Pels, hold
ers Of second place, are one game be-
hind the Crackers Should the Bar
ons take all four games from the
Crackers, disregarding whatever the
Pels may do, this is how the Moleys
would appear with Franks athletes:
Atlanta ............... IA IS .6H
Birmingham .......,... 10 AZ .ooo
On the other hand, should the Bar
ons fail to Be SO successful and take
only three of the four games, then
this is how they would compare:
Atlanta ......... rs AZ .615
Birmingham ........... 60 80 $50
Four straight wins would cut the
lead of the Crackers to two games
and one-half, while three wins out
of four would reduce the margin only
four games and one-haf. The Bar
ons are going into the series with
determination that will be hard to
inflict defeat upon and Charley
Frank and his tribe Of league lead
ers had better beware.
