Moleys team is strong and the two de- feats they have suffered at the hands of the Dobbers will not be sufficient to put them out of the rag race permanently. Although the two reverses has caused dis appointment among a number of fans, the majority of Birmingham's large col only is still loyal.
 Today, the Barons will probably be forced to go against Popboy Smith or Floyd Kroh. The Barons will slaughter Kroh, but they will find a hard man to beat in the former Indian twirler, who was recently added to the Pels' twirling staff Moley will probably send Arthur Johnson or Karl Black to do his mound work Johnson was very effective against the Pels last season when with the Lookouts and it would not be surprising to see Moley start the big Swede against Dobbs' clan today.
 Tomorrow the Barons return to Rick wood to meet the Atlanta Crackers. The Frank aggregation, now holders of sec ond place, play three games at Redwood After completing the series with the Crackers, the Barons start their longest road trip of the season. It is not com pleted until June IA. F. B.

To Dick Robertson, former Birmingham pitcher. belongs a great deal of credit for the locals win. He moved the Br- mingham batters down when hits meant runs, and only gave two bases on balls, both to Southworth. Hill. the bespec- tackled gent, with whom the ladies' day crowd had great deal of fun, also hurled nlasterful ball, allowing but seven hits. However, 1t was his wild heave that gave the Pelicans one run and he seemed un- able to keep from bouncing them off the local bats just when a hit meant run.
 Southworth walked in the first, but was left Coombs singled in the second, but was doubled up on Caton's grounder. With two gone Southworth singled in the third. Then came the Barons first run in the fourth. Johnston skied to cen- ter, but Ellis hit the center for three bases and scored on Clarks single to left. The next two were easy outs.
