Moley's Men Fall From Lead After Forcing Pels
 to Withdraw
WORK OF GULLS IS
 WEEKS FEATURE
Kitchens Men Win Four Games and Lose Only One-Games Include Results of Sunday and
 Through Friday

Atlanta, July 7-Birminghams stay in the lead of the pennant race in the Southern association was short-lived. Having fought their way up defeat ing strong opponents for leadership honors, the Barons dropped three out , of four games to the rejuvenated Mo bile team, and thereby went back into the second place. Hill, pitching for Birmingham, won his eleventh straight game on Wednesday. the only game taken from Mobile.
 While Birmingham was engaged in her desperate struggle with the Mobile Gulls, the Atlanta team was busy talk ing a five-game series from New Or leans as a result of which the Crack CTS went again into first place by a small margin. An odd feature of the AtlantaNe Orleans series was that the Georgians won all three of their games by the same score-6 to 4. New Orleans retained second place.
 There was no other change in the club standings during the week.
 Perhaps the greatest surprise was the splendid showing of the Mobile club. Displaying a complete reversal of the form shown practically through out the season, the Gulls won four of five games played, three from Bir- mingham and one from New Orleans. The opinion prevails In some quarters that Mobile now has one of the best teams in the league, with four of the strongest pitchers in the Baugh circuit and an equally strong outfeld.
 Nashville continued a steady drive toward leadership honors, by playing consistent game throughout the week. Chattanooga, on the other hand, remained in a slump, dropping five of the eight games played, while Mem phis bettered its record of the previous week, winning four and losing two. Little Rock took three and dropped four.
 A tabulation of games played from Sunday through Friday shows the fol- lowing results:

War Having No Effect
 on the Southern League

According to official figures made public yesterday by President R. H. Baugh of the Southern league, Atlanta led other clubs in the league in attend ance for the Fourth of July games. Ex- actly 10.40s peple turned out in the Georgia capital to witness the exhi- bition between the Crackers and the Pels.
 Birmingham was second with s8ss, while Little Rock followed with 6047. Nashville was fourth with 5345.
 This made total of so,1a5 people to attend the games in the Southern league on tho Fourth. According to MT. Baugh, this Is considerable better thaA the league did last season and shows that Dixies major Is prospering de- spite the fact that other minor leagues in all parts of the country are sus- bending operations
 Tho above. attendance indicates that the war Is not having the slightest eff feet on baseball in the south. It should also prove to many that the Southern will continue through it's schedule.

Memphis Monday or either when they re- turn to Birmingham Friday Pat came to the Barons this spring with a great reputation as a hitter and he had no
 more than demonstrated his ability in this line until he had the misfortune to
 sustain a broken leg.
 The break was a bad one and Pat hob
 bled around the town on crutches for two months. The accident occurred on March
 S1 in an exhibition game with the Louis vile Colonels. and it was past the middle of June before he was able to walk around without the aid of Some sort of stick or one crutch.
 Careful treatment and consistent work has placed the leg back in form and
 Pat is now getting tired of watching ball
 games. He wants to get back into the Baron lineup and play the old game himself. Pat has only slight limp nov when he runs and within another week
 this is expected to disappear. Moley will probably take Pat on as soon as he decides whether he wants to
 release pitcher or not. Within another
 month Moley will have another good out fielder on his hand as Billy Southworth is fast rounding into shape. He will be
 able to play within two weeks or a month.
