BARONS CLASH WITH
 LOOKOUTS MONDAY
Series With Lowly Gulls Completed With Game
 Today

The squirting Barons complete their successful stay in Mobile with today's game and move over to Chattanooga Lookouts which will decide the occu- pant of third place in the leagues standing. Yesterdays victory for the Barons gave the local tribe their fourth straight win over the celler occupants and consequently kept the Barons safe in third place.
 Elmer Ponder returned to the mound yesterday afternoon after an absence of about a week and hurled a fine game. Elmer, it is true, was touched for nine safe wallops by the Gulls, but he was too effective in the pinches.
 The Baron hurlers are going at top speed now and it will take a mighty formidable club to route any of the quintet. Today Moley will probably use Preacher Perryman against the Gulls and then open against the Lookouts with either Carmen Hill or Ralph Coms tock.
 The showing of Comstock since he joined the Barons has been source of much surprise to number of fans. It was the general opinion that he was cast-off and his days as a winning pitcher were past. His only two ap pearances on the mound have caused these theories to be cast aside and he is expected to prove one of Moley's most dependable men during the re- mainder of the hunt for the flag.
 After the series with the Lookouts, the Barons return to Redwood. The Nashville Vols come for three-day stay, followed by the Little Rock Travellers for the same number of clashe es. The Memphis Chicks come next in line for trio of games. The Barons then jaunt over to Atlanta for a series and return to meet the Pelicans in three games, starting June 2S. The Mo bile Gulls then come for stay through July 4. The team is on the road again ,1pti1 Jr11u

SWIMMING CLASSES FORMED AT I'M. GA.
Coach Mitchell Wants All Members to Join New
 Movement

R. E. Mitchell, physical director at the Young Mems Christian associa ton, an- nounces the formation of a swimming club It is the purpose of this club to stimulate the interest in swimming, and to induce the greater part of the mem bership to participate in the summer sport.
 The swimmers will be divided into three divisions These divisions will be known as A, B and c classes, and every man who registers as member of the club will pledge himself to swim six days in the week. and swim a given distance adding a given number of yards to the distance of each week. Whenever it is impossible for a man to take his daily swim, on his next appearance at the pool he will double the distance for that day, and make up for any loss that has been sustained. A check on the distance cov- cred by each man will be kept on record and given to each individual at the close of each month.
 The sanitary condition of the pool will be emphasized, and every member of the club will be required to stand physical examination. A number of local physi- clans will inspect the pool at given periods and will report to the officials of the association from time to time.
 Special instruction in swimming will be given by R. E. Mitchell at stated hours. Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise that can be indulged in during the summer months; it develops a much more symmetrical body than heavy gymnastic exercises, and is one of the best developers for the vital or gans of the body.
 There will be no charge to the mem- bers of the association to become mem bers of this club

BARoNs START SCORING

Birmingham started the scoring in the second inning. Ellis opened this round with corking triple to left center Webb. who followed him, lined out a single to left, scoring Ellis.
 The score was tied by Mobile in the third inning. Golvin singled to start this inning and went to second on an infield out Burke drove hard ground ed at Webb, which early knocked him off his feet, but he had the ball long enough to stop Golvin from scoring. The squeeze play was worked with Reed at the bat. The Birmingham players were caught unaware and Gou- win scored easily.
 In the fourth Birmingham again took the lead. Webb started things by smashing out double to center. Ca ton bounted to the pitcher for a sac rifice and Webb went to thirl, Caton being safe at first on Bennett's high throw. Haworth busted the ball to right for what looked like a double, but Meyers made a remarkable one hand catch. Webb scored on the play
 GULLS TIE COUNT
 Fast work on the bases allowed Mo- bile to tie the game in the sixth Reed singled to right. McDowell laid down sacrifice and while Webb was throwing the runner out Reed reached third.
 The squeeze" was put on and while Ponder broke it up by pitching high and away from the plate, it was also too wide for Haworth to handle and Reed who was off to flying start, stole home standing up. It was great spurt of speed and the stands went wild over the play.
 In the seventh the Birmingham team united the count and won the contest. Haworth was given free transporta- tion to start this frame. Ponder sac- rificed Haworth to second. Bennett hit Johnston with a pitched ball. South worth went out on fly to right. Coombs singled to left and Butts let the ball get away from him, both John ston and Haworth scoring. Clark ended the inning by flying out to center.
 The Gulls got one of these runs back in ther. half of the seventh. Bennett singled to center through the pitchers box Golvin came through with his sec- ond double of the game and Bennett scored all the way from first Bennett lost control in the eighth and two runs resulted Ellis was passed and was sacrificed to second by Webb Caton singled and both runners scored on Ha- worth's double.

 Elmer Ponder, who has been out of the game for nearly 10 days, pitched great ball for the Birmingham club and was effective in all but three innings. Mobiles errors played a part in the Barons' winning the game, which was long drawn out, requiring two hours and 15 minutes to play. Ellis continued his remarkable hitting making his fourth extra base hit of the series, 1t being a triple today.
 Webb also hit the ball, securing a sim gle and double that counted for some runs. Danny Clark, who is the fastest second sacker seen around Mobile this season, had another day at the key stone handling seven chances and some of them difficult ones, without an error. Golvin led the Mobile team in hitting. He secured two doubles and a single out of four times at the bat.
 Manager Kitchens changed his lineup today, benching Ireland and putting Reed back at short but it did not have any effect, as the Barons could not be stopped in their upward climb.
 The Barons pulled number of plays that cut down the base hits Caton made a number of thrilling plays on balls that were hard hit and full of steam
