MANY SHAKE-UPS DURING PAST WEEK ! ed Bluhm, Edmondson and O'Brien Lead Hitters With
 Average of 400

The parst week has been a general shake-up in the Southern association. Every team in the circuit has changed it's position, or had it changed for them, with the exception of Atlanta. The Crackers merely cinched their hold and extended their lease on the basement

 Mobile won five out of seven games played and advanced from third to second place.

 As result of their encounters with the fast travelling Travellers, Chat tanooga lost four out of six games during the week and dropped from first to fourth position.
 Memphis only played five games dur ing the week, but lost three of them. As result of the successes of other clubs in connection with their own losses, Memphis fell from second to fifth place.
 Birmingham and Nashville, tied last week for fourth place, each lost our out of six games and are now tied or seventh place.
 Atlanta got bad start at the be- ginning of the season and has not been able to improve her lowly con- dition.

 Pastime
THE 1918 RARONS

Tommy Long will probably work for the Barons today against Flahertys Bears. Tommy will be pitching against his old teammates and that usually means a vic tory for the twirler. Long has worked in but two innings this year and was taken out then, with the score to 2 in his favor, to allow Cecil Coombs to pinch hit. The Barons should bring home the bacon today.
 Speaking of bringing home the bacon reminds us of Ring Lardner's speech to the soldiers on their way to France To use Rings words, you needn't bring home the bacon, just get little piece of the Rhine"
 It is very gratifying to see that, at last, Bernsen has gotten his eye on the horsehide and is beginning to slam out hits when they are wanted. That circuit clout yesterday saved the day for Slap, after his teammates had thrown it away by loose playing. The big firstsacker hit about 1925 last year in the Texas league and should easily top .29o in this company.
 Glazner is due to work tomorrow and Hill Wednesday against Mobile. Moley will use only four pitchers for a while, as he thinks that they will go better with more work. Black is getting a rest and Comstock is not quite in condition. Hill and Long are in none too good shape themselves, but after flinging every four days they are expected to Timber up all temporary soreness
 Kid Henderson is now assuming the utility role vacated by Ray Jansen when he filled Debus' shoes at short.

and I'll have yez know that my bie's Il keep em all hustlng to win tha' old rag fore the seasons over.'
 Memphis has taken on an old Baron ill the person of Mike Hauser, who acted as second-string receiver for the locals couple of years ago. Mike is one of the hardest working catchers in the busi- ness and his friends here hope that he can get by with Barger's club.
 Wild Bill Ellis, former Vol should add considerable strength to Flaherty'S team. Ellis is a good pitcher but never was able to win for Ellam, being beaten out in numberless contests by narrow margin. Mobile needs pitching strength badly, but outside of this weakness the Bears present very formidable lineup.
 The attendance in Southern league cities on opening day, while below nor nal, was about all that could be ex- pected in view of the indictment weather that almost universally prevailed. In every city the rain gods saw fit to either IT uddy-up the playing fiell or to cast threatening clouds over the popu,ace. keeping many away who otherwise would have come out.
 Every member of the Baron team bought Liberty Bonds during the drive last week Mrs. Ray Jansen, who has done splendid work with the womens committees got busy and sold all the boys. Moley is very partial to Liberty Bonds as an investment, and declares that he intends putting all his savings into this form of security. Few fans know it. but the local manager has packed away neat little fortune during his quarter of Q century on the diamond
 Birmingham has one player that ought to be snapped up by some Southern league club if he fails to make good here and that is Patterson. Pat is one of the most promising catchers seen on the local lot in long time, and he is sure to make some manager a good man.
 From Black Long and Glazner, Moley V."l have to pick two pitchers, as Com stock, Hill and Sapnicka are certainties Glazner is subject to immediate draft call. which may handicap his chances of mak- ing the team, but the white -haired boy IS certainly slated to develop into a star Finger with little more experience
