BARONS ID TACKLE CRACKERS AGAIN
New ShOrtstop Due sin To- day-COmstock or Long
 Will Pitch

After five successive defeats the Barons will again cross bats with Frank hopefuls at Redwood this aft ernoon in the last of two game se- ries. The locals are getting all the bad breaks at present and naturally look like q second division crew, but Moley is confident that the silver lin- ing will soon reveal itself and that his henchmen will rise up and strike the enemy as of yore.
 In the game yesterday the Barcns played with absolutely no life and the old pep and fighting spirit seemed 10 be sadly lacking. With shake-up in the infield there might be a change. The new third baseman is scheduled to punch in sometime today and will get in the game as soon as he arrives. Of course we can't lay all our reverscs on Ray Jansen. but with a more de- pendable man on short. the defense should be bolstered considerably.
 When the team is hitting, the pitch- CTS go bad, and when the pitchers are holding the opposition in check, the Barons are unable to connect with tho apple. That's the secret of their fail ure, so far. It's been this way every year, though, for the first few weAs until Mo1ey teaches 'em his signals and they get to playing together; then they romp over all the other clubs.
 The chubby manager was not in- clined to announce his beaver for the contest today Comstock or Long will more than likely mount the rubber though. Just why Long has not been used is a mystery. He may get his chance today.

 Although the motion to make the reso- lution special order of Senate business next Friday was lost its consideration at that time virtually is certain. When Senator Jones rcnews his motion Fri day to proceed with the House resolu- ton, only a majority vote will be Ie- quired to begin debate, the two-thirds rule, which was enforced today, applying only to motions made in advance of the day proposed for debate.
 Confidence of the resolutions suppor- ters of favorable final action was indi- cated in the effort for a vote this week. They have stated that a vote would not be sought until the necessary proceedings for two thirds majority were had.
 Although the vote was on beginning debate only, most of those voting were believed to have recorded themselves as they would vote on the resolution itself, which the House adopted last January If the lineup of today is maintained, the resolution will be defeated.
