We are resting nicely in third place thls morning. thank you, with every chance of finishing there when the gong is sounded Friday night A double win today will cinch matters for Moley and you can bet the chubby one will make every effort to annex both of those con- tests this afternoon.

In order for the Barons to remain above the Bears it will be necessary for them to win at least one of those two games that are played with New Orleans Thursday and Friday. If we, lose the double-header today third place Is as good as gone, for the Atlanta "set-ups'' can hardly be counted upon to beat Mo- bile even one game. If the Barons win two today they will move into second place.
 Baseball in the Southern league has just about developed into farce during the last week. Birmingham and New Orleans are the only teams that have as many as a dozen men at the present writing, and by Friday it will probably be necessary for some managers to fill up their hines with amateurs. Verify, the magnates pulled a bone in announcing their decision to close three weeks in advance of the curtain fall. Fans and players have lost interest while the latter are jumping every day to soft jobs in other places.

exchange of hymn books. As the

service. Most delightful and satisfac-
