Twice in the same place. Commy and Blackie came through in good style yes terday and as result the Barons moved hack into the lead of the second division If the Lookouts lose today and we take another from the Chicks, it'll be first division for Moley. Two more victories will sec the locals at 5O0 for the first time this season. Moley is bent on reach ing select company before the end comes and he is not overlooking any oppor- tunities to get away with games.
 Yesterdays double win made it 10 out of the last F for the Barons and if they maintain this average through the Little Rock series it win be necessary to take rouc ou- or rye, which is hardly prob ao.e. The Travellers play two bargain bills here, double-headers being set for Thursday and Saturday. Fans will at least be given q run for their money during this, the last week of the season here.
 Carmen Hill and Cy Barger are slated to oppose each other this afternoon and it ought to be a pitchers battle. Cy has won eight and lost one this year, so you see lie Htlh snap even With a crippled team behind him. Hill has been showin. lits of stuff here all season, but faulty support put him down among the second- raters. Carmen makes his farewell bow to local fandom today. The becpeckled twilrier will leave on June 2S for Kansas City, to which team he was sold.
 Monte Trieste and Mike Hauser were arguing the other day as to which was the better second baseman. Mike con- tended that he played the keystone here for 3 games with only one error, while Monte admitted that he himself was, a second Eddie Collins. Both have gotten away pretty fair with their assignments thus far, although Montes huff in the second inning yesterday proved costly to his teammates.
 Mobile has sold Artie Bues and Ernest Walker to the Louisville Colonels. Bill Clymer, who watched the Barons per- form here last week, went down to the gulf city anC was so impressed with the work of these two sluggers that he inn mediately bought their releases. Bues is one of the most wicked hitters seen at Redwood this year and should make good with a rush at Louisville. Walker has improved wonderfully since going to Mobile from Little Rock.

Pete Knisely has been sold to Bine- hamton. Waite Hoyt and Micky O'Neil will report back to John McGraw, to whom they belong. Jonnard and Wick ham will play ball right here in the T. C. l. league. Ray O'Brien, Mike Burke and Art Decatur will have little va cation until called in the draft.
 Dazzy Vance left the Memphis club Monday night and grabbed Pullman for New York; where he goes to report to the Yankees. Vance has world or stuff and may be able to make good under Miller Huggins Caruthers, who has already reported to Indianapolis, IS about the classiest second baseman Tn the Baugh circuit, and will have little difficulty in getting by with his ne" club.

 Dixie walker supplanted Red smith in right field yesterday and scored couple of Baron runs with his two-bag- ger in the first game. The old star is there with the pep and keeps the game from dragging at all times. Dixie IS very popular in Birmingham and has made q lot of friends through his work as manager of one of the fast T. c. l. teams.

victories, one deefat and then nine more wins, making their showing is victories and lone defeat when they started west. That trip was disastrous. The jolts handed the New Workers in the sun set region sent them dipping from their lofty heights and before mid-June, when it had been supposed they would be SD far in front as to cinch the pennant, the Giants had to surrender the lead.
 The Giants today are sorely wounded by losses of star players, and from now on they face far sterner opposition, espe- cially in the east, than has confronted them before Barnes and Benton have gone taking away two of the most re- liable moundsmen on McGraw's stall Schupp's arm has been ailing. Maybe it will round into shape soon, and maybe it won't. Until it does Schupp cannot be considered as an asset. kauff will be lost to the club on the 24th. And the Giants will miss him immcasurably. The little fellow has been hitting at fiend- isk clip all year and fielding superbly. His bat has won many games for the club.
 "Furthermore, the Giants, with weakened team, are going to face far stronger opposition in the east from now on than they did early in the season. The Braves, Phillies and Dodgers have been strengthened considerably since their inaugural clashes with the Giants and it's the safest bet in the world thai the Giants won't beat them in IS out of the next b games they play with them The Giants perhaps will be lucky getting a little better than an even break.
 Minus three of their star twirlers, and their best batsmen--that'S the Giant plight today. That's why 1 feel thar theirs is an outlook none too bright. especially when they have a great ma chine like the Cubs to battle against, to say lnothing of the flashy Reds and the greatly strengthened Pirates The Giants may repeat in 1918, but if they do it promises to be by the scantiest possible margin It looks as if there will be real race in the National league from now on.'

 Although Trieste singled in the first and Carroll drew a pass after one was down, the Chicks never got farther than third, for Dobard forced Carroll at. second and Trieste was killed at the plate on an attempted double steal. When Hauser led off with a triple in the next frame it looked bad for Com my, but Clark threw out Aragon, Bar ger grounded to Comstock and Hauser was thrown out at the plate. The visi- tors failed to reach second again until the sixth inning, when Hauser singled to short and was advanced base on Jansen's wild throw to Bernsen. The next two batters were easy outs.
 In the seventh, after two were down, Bratchi and Trieste singled and moved up a base on Walkers error, but Car roll couldn't deliver. Dobard started the eighth with an infield hit and Ara gon singled to left but the other three Chicks fell victoms to Comstock's Elants, Nelson singled in the ninth and Trieste hit safe past Clark but Carroll and Dobard failed to produce the need ed hit.

''And that" said Father Hem
mick, lis the spirit of the Red Cross.
| have never heard of one single in
cident of antagonism, but always
friendly, willing and cheerful cooper
alton. And now they are only too
anxious to get chaplains for the base
hospitals, on the suggestion of the
army officers, and they are willing to
supply them, to pay their expenses
of course, Protestant chaplains as
well as Catholic"
Father Hemmick added that in his
journeyings up and down the lines he
was given every facility by the Red
Cross officials to get in touch with his
Catholic charges. They got his pass
ports for him, and looked after him
in every needful way, and he always
travelled as an American Red Cross
representative, and was given the
right of way. He would have been
helpless, he said, without the good
Offices of the Red Cross.
