Mobile, April 2O.-(SpeciaI.)
 The Basons used three pitchers
 trying to as1sat the taiIenders of
 the league today and failed, get
 ting the worst beating that they
 have had this season, the final
 score being to 1 in favor of tue
 Gu1is. Perryman and HayOrth
 looked bad in the start and the
 preacher pitcher was wild and hit
 hard when blows counted for runs,
 and then Haworth did some very
 bad begging to second in the early
 innings, all of which aided the
 GuIIs.
 Loveless, semi-pro from the Ma gic City lots. was sent in the fifth and he was even worse than Perryman, walking five men and giving up four hits in the one and one-third innings that he worked on the mound Moley was strongly up against it and sent in Douglas in the seventh and the big fellow walked the first two men who faced him and then two doubles were hit by the Gull sluggers.
 Wiley, who won his first game of the year, showed all kinds of form and let the Barons down with four hits and one run.
 Charley Moran, who umpired behind the bat, put Danny Clark out of the game in the second inning because he threw his bat down and kicked about decision Molesworth came out to the plate and asked for an explanation and Moran told him that Clark had done nothing, but it was the way he acted. There was some noise from the Birmingham bench and Moran called out' "lf you don't cut out that noise III make tramp out of all you" Webb b,was sent to second in the place of Clark. Mcdonald asked a question and Moran threatened to bench the third baseman.
 M GULLS SCORE TRIO < Perryman got by without any runs being made off him until the fourth In this inning Webb booted Reeds S grounder. Mcdowell struck out. Burke then put the ball In deep center for clean three bagger, scoring Reed. Golvin singled past Caton and Burke scored. Golvin stole second on a wide peg. Lunte grounded to Johnston who made a bad error and Golvin scored Layden grounded to Webb. forcing Lunte. Layden stole second. Perry man lost control again and walked OIlIlltlis DuI ilbCIlcI w llty SlOppSh Mobiles scoring by striking out. It was the Barons finish.
 Birmingham's only run was scored in the fifth inning. Ellis got a real base hit to left and Webb dropped a Texas leaguer in right, Ellis taking third. On Coombs long sacrifice fly to left field Ellis scored
 Three singles in succession by Bit tie, Reed and Mcdowell scored Mo bile's fourth run in the fifth. Two of the singles were made off Perryman and he was removed In this inning Haworth threw out three runners try. ing to steal second In the sixth Love- less looked like an amateur, but Moley kept him going. He gave two bases on balls to start off with A sacrifice hit, a sacrifice fly. two more bases on balls mixed in with two singles, gave the Gulls three more runs and a six-run lead
 LOVELESS RELIEVED
 The sixth was about all Loveless could stand and he went to the bench and Moley trotted out Douglas. Doug
