cident occur and when the Baron gardener was being assisted off the field everyone in the park applauded appreciated good turn, especially when player places himself at risk to save the game for his team.
 The Baron lineup for the next few days and possibly permanently will be the same as the one which completed the affair yesterday. Eddie Mcdonald, the Baron captain will be back at third base and Bill Webb, whose play ing at the third station in the ab- sence of Eddie from the lineup, has been spectacular both extensively and defensively will be shifted to the right garden. Moley would not state wheth- CT this would be permanent.
 DUNCAN NOT IN SHAPE
 Many fans expected to see Pat Dun can, the Baron recruit who was show ing great form when he broke his leg in an exhibition game this spring, plug the hole in right field. Pat, how ever, is just recovering and it will take him at least three more week g before he could enter the lineup and render the club his best services.
 Being idle for two months will put any ball player out of condition and it will take Pat some length of time to round back into shape Pat will start working out with the Barons within few days, it is thought.
 As result of the costly victory, the Barons bettered their lead over the Lookouts for the third place honors and consequently drew half a game nearer the Crackers. The Barons are only two games in the rear of the crackers now, while the Moleys are i've games behind the leading Peli- cans.
 The Barons are game and a half in front of the Lookouts, who lost yesterday to the Pelicans

The loss of Bill Southworth, the star right fielder of the Barons for the re- mainder of the season as the result of the serious injury which he sus- tained in yesterdays game, is the most serious blow dealt the pennant aspir- ations of the local aggregation this season. Southy has been playing a great game since Joining the Barons about month after the start of the season. but his work of late has been better than ever. He was in batting slump for about the last week of the past road trip, but had been hitting hard and timely recently.
 Moley was disheartened over the loss of Southy's services. The absence of the fleet-footed gardener will re- move from the Baron line-up one of the hardest workers and best fight CTS that Moley has on his pay roll. Not only will the team be dealt se- rious blow in this respect but they will also lose a player of much ability
 Bill may not be a terrific clouter. but he is a dangerous man at the bat. His hitting is not spectacular but he will average .2SO for the entire sea- CTS in the Southern league can boast of. His fielding has always been great and his wonderful catch yester- day is a fair example of his ability in this line

 Tt will make men physically more fit," he believes, "and the more physi- cally fit a man is the more he enjoys physical prowess.
 1t has been the experience abroad" he continued, that people in seeking amusement during war times want something that will lead their minds from the war rather than toward 1t.
 For instance, in the warning countries war plays have not been successful. while the opposite, the light frivolous comedy or spectacular musical play, has been the call of the day.

SPECIAL RED CROSS DIVIDENDS

One of the most interesting and un- usual developments of the Red Cross campaign to raise S100,D00,000 dur ing the week of June 17th, is the action of corporations in declaring special Red Cross dividends. The procedure is to notify shareholders of the declaration of this dividend and to request their permission to turn it into the nations gigantic hu- manitarian fund to alleviate suffer- ing among our Allies and to prepare to meet the medical needs of our own men.
 H. P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, in a letter to Cleveland H. Dodge, chairman of the Councils Finance Committee, points out that this action by corporation is considered by the war council as of the greatest iir ortance. At the same time Mir. DGvison urges that there be not the slightest suggestion of coercion in presenting this matter to shareholders.
 While nothing is more important to the work of the Red Cross than the financial support which might come to it through such means, says Mir. Dawson, nothing could be more unfortunate than that the Red Cross should receive from any direction moneys that are grudgingly given, or worse still, given under any suggest ion of coercion. We feel that we should emphasize this. as we fear that very i'll effects might attend even a successful financial campaign, were it not made clear that all stock holders who are to receive a special dividend should thoroughly under stand this position of the Red Cross with regard to contributions of this nature
 A copy of Mir, Davison's letter will ne sent to all shareholders by corpor- at.ons assenting to the plan. This making the position of the Red Cross clear, will, it is thought, remove from the action of the corporation even the remotest suggestion of pressure.
