Barons Ready 10 Meet huading PeLicans
VICTORY
 FOR CARMEN HILL
Yesterdays Performance of the Barons Satisfactory. Ponder to Oppose John son Today

Yesterdays developments. in Atlanta were as satisfactory as could be desired, considering the circumstances, and today Boss Moley returns with his crew to fight the New Orleans Pelicans at Redwood. The Barons' stay in Atlanta was suc- cessful as the series was copped by the local tossers. Two of the three games played were won by Moleys men.
 Now that the Crackers have success fully been disposed of, the Barons must compare their strength against that of the Pelicans. Johnny Dobbs and his men arrive this morning to start a three-g game stay at Redwood, during which time the fur is expected to fly thick and fast
 Moley will open against the Pels this afternoon with Elmer Ponder. The big right-hander is twirlihg nice brand of ball at the present and it would not be surprising to see him toy with the Dob bers in the opening engagement. Dobbs will send Arthur Johnson, the former Baron, against his old team mates.
 Johnnie was cast adrift by the Barons several weeks. ago. He latched on with the Pels and has won two and lost two for his new team. Johnnie is anxious to get a chance at the Barons and today he will probably have that opportunity.
 But back to yesterdays play. The most important development of the entire day was the recording of another win by Carmen Hill, the bespeckled twirler of the Barons. Incidentally, it was the ninth straight win for the big hurer. Carmen hasn't suffered defeat since May 19 when he was pounded out of the box by the Atlanta Crackers at Redwood
 Since that time Hill has been pitch

ing remarkable brand of bali. He is the leading pitcher in the league at the present in respect to the number of games won and lost, and stands high in respect to earned runs allowed per game. Car men was off to bad start but he soon steadied and is now pitching about the best example of box work offered in the Southern association.
 Hill will probably be sent against the Pelicans on Saturday afternoon. He must be worked often to stay in condition.
 The Barons are three and a half games behind the Pels and a game and a half in the rear of the Franks
 Better watch Moley's dashing Barons.

A young French girl in territory held by the Boches. was forced into service in hospital where German soldiers were being treated. While there she was attacked by four German soldiers Later she was allowed to return to a French town where she. gave birth to a child, which she killed immediately. She was arrested and tried for murder At her trial she swore that she could not be mother of child whose father was German And she was acquitted amid the cheers of all those present.
