louder and longer than Elberfeld was permitted to do, and yet O'roole stood calmly and waited until they were ready to resume play.
 If he has orders from President Baugh to stop demonstrations of protest he should enforce them against all players, and not against the Lookouts alone
 Occasionally we like to know what the other fellow thinks about us. Here is what the Atlanta Constitution gives to the Cracker fans about Moley's band;
 In leaving Atlanta, Carlton Moles- worth has left fans with the impress sion that he has team which is an average for the Southern league this year.
 The Barons played two good games against the Crackers and the last CT the series would have been under that classification if 'Moley' had had pitcher to put in the box against Red Day and his eight companions.
 The Baron inie1d is one of the speed fest in the league, and Molesworth holds the prize of the lea que in short stops, none other than the diminutive "Ducky' Caton, who certainly is there when it comes to scooping them out of the dirt between second and third
 Doc" Johnston Is known to all fans
  fielder. formidable hitter and base ball player of the first water. Doe" Is going good this season and although Fullenweider and Day seemed to take part of his hitting ability away from him. still he demonstrated in Mon- day afternoons clash that he still can wield the willow on occasions.
 CLARK IS GOOD
 Clark. the Birmingham second base man, is good man. almost as fast and sure as Caton and a fair hand at bat.
 E. Mcdonald on third. pulled some pretty plays during the three games here and demonstrated his ability to hold down the last sack, although he is not in the class with Caton and John ston.
 The Baron outfield Is fair. Coombs is showing up as the weak member, Southworth and Ellis coming in With the average in the league.
 "Moley' has two good pitchers, but will need more than that that to offset disadvantages which will keep him from winning the pennant. Ponder and Hill are good pitchers for the Southern league and although the latter lost his game Tuesday afternoon. 1t wasn't ps- cause he couldn't pitch, but simply be- cause the Crackers outplayed the Bar ons and hit when the hitting was good. Both Smith and Haworth rank high as receivers, Red Smith getting the majority of favors as the safest man behind the bat.
 With a good infield. good catching staff, two good pitchers and fair out field. the Barons are going as well as could be expected, although Judging from their past performances it doesn't seem that they can expect much better than fourth or fifth place in the finish.

KROH GETS STRONGER

The Barons had several other chances to score, but Kroh grew steady as the game progressed and held the Barons safe.
 The Pels secured their only two tallies in the second round. Eddie Edmondson led off with a single to left and scored on Nixons double to right. Nixon took third on Southworth's bad throw to the infield. Stansbury cracked single to left and Nixon romped across. A double play, Caton, Clark to Johnston, ended the rally.
 The Pels got a runner on the paths in almost every inning, but Ponder strength ened with the plate in danger. The big Baron finger was very wild at times, walking five Pels, but he was too effec- tive for the Pels with men stationed or

SCOTTY MAKES HIT

Scotty Chesnutt and Morgan officiated. It was Scotty's initial appearance of the season here and he received a big hand from the fans. Scotty is as good as ever and his work is by far the best of any other arbiter on President Baugh's staff
 Eddie Mcdonald played a fine game for the Barons at third, while Kid Caton also had good day The Pelicans didn't look as formidable yesterday as they did the previous day, but at that it's a cinch Johnny Dobbs has good array of ball tossers.
 The final game of the series will be played today Carmen Hill will oppose Roy Walker. The Barons go to New Orleans for tilt Sunday and return Monday to meet the Mobile Gulls.

EARLY LEAD WINS

The five tallies scored by the Moleys in the first frame came as the result of five safe blows, a sacrifice hit and an error. Doc Johnston started the ball rolling in the right direction when he gained life as the result of his bunt down the first base line Eddie Mcdonald sent Doc to second with neat sacrifice and Cecil Coombs brought him home with a clean single to center. Cecil swiped second a moment later.
 Bill Southworth bounced a roller over krohs head which Knaupp managed to field. Cecil thought the ball had gone into center field and he darted for the plate Knaupp begged the ball to third and Cecil started for the plate, Howard Baker threw to Bob Higgins, who let the ball escape his clutches, Cecil scoring and Bill romping around to third. Al Ellis scored Bill with a clean single to left. Danny Clark swatted one of Krohs benders on the nose for ride to the left field bleachers for a circuit tour, scoring Al in front of him.
 This ended the Baron scoring until the third, when another pair was added. With one down, Ellis walked and scored when Caton tripled to deep right field. Red Smith singled to right and Caton was registered.

all of these symptoms and leads to tho
