By FRED BoDEKER

Manager Matty McIntyrc or tne
 lowIy Mobile Gulls used two
 southpaws yesterday at Redwood
 in an effort to stem the tide of the
 avalanche of bingIes of the Baron
 bats in the final game of the series,
 but both failed to accomplish the
 desire of their boss, the local ag-
 gregation scoring 10 to victory.
 The visiting southpaws, Slattery
 and Blodgett. were slammed for a
 total of F safe blows. including a
 home run, making the Baron vic-
 tory never in doubt.
 Carmen Hill, the bespeckled twirler ot Moley's aggregation, won his second con secutive victory. Aside from pitching a neat game, Carmen was also terrible slugger. He would have pitched a much better game had he been pressed, but the big lead provided gave him an opporo- tunity to take things easy, and he did. The Birons had their hitting clothes on. Although there were few extra base hits, the Barons kept their blows in a constant stream. In the fifth session, they secured five safe wallops, while in the sixth they repeated, Only in one in- ning-the seventh--did the Barons go out in order
