For garden seed, Moiey, bring out some pitchers Jehosephat! That exhibition yesterday was joy killer for fair
 To make room for Coffindaffer and Glazner, Moley must "can' two pitchers within the next 15 days, but that job should not cause him much anguish. The question is how can he afford to keep 'em that long?
 Outside of the pitchers box, the Barons are as strong as any of them, but con tinual poor pitching will ruin the morale of the team and hack" the really val uable men who are fighting against over whelming odds in trying to offset such miserable hurling as has been handed out lately by three of our one-time re- liable fingers.
 The case of Crews and Slapnicka is "a ther hard to dope. Last year Slap had everything and in several games this sea- son he has pitched shut-out ball, but his last three battles have indicated that something is radically wrong.
 As for Crews, he is more of mystery than Slap. Sam blanked the Bears here without the semblance of bingle went down to New Orleans and shut out the Pels in a pretty game, moved over to Mobile and blanked the Bruins again and came back here and whitewashed the Lookouts Think of it! Four shut-outs in his first five games. In those days they were hollering for help everytime Sam mounted the hill. but things do change. Crews has lost the last seven games in which he hurled, excepting one tie with Chattanooga.
 Umpire Blackburn, who saw Crews pitch in the Carolina league, told us at the start of the season that his trouble was lack of control. Sam started off all right in this respect but since losing some of his confidence he has been a little shaky and has received all the worst of the umpiring. Crews needs a good, slow ball to make his delivery more but he gets a beautiful break

BRUINS ID STORM R|CKWOOD TODAY Crews Is Slated to Pitch Against Mobile in the :
 First Game

Bob Coleman's Bruins from the coast village of Mobile will face Moley's men in the first of a three game series at Rick wood this afternoon. The Bears have been showing their teeth to all clubs lately and though they dropped a double bill to New Orleans yesterday, are highly regarded by visiting players.
 Strange to relate the Barons have found Bear meat delicious in their pre- vious meetings and managed to take both of the series already played. It's rather hard to figure just who Moley will work in the game today, but Sam Crews will probably draw the assignment Crews. in our opinion, will make mi yhty good pitcher some day, and if his control

and change of pace is all right, he ough, to set the Bears down today.
 It will be remembered that Crews pitched a beautiful no-hit game against Mobile during their last visit here, and later on trounced them easily down in their own burg, so he is really due tc break his losing streak if Moley gives nim chance. Morrison pitched Friday and Sigman Saturday, so neither of these
 will be in shape to go.
 Slap and Bailmer appear to be abso- utely ineffective. The former was by ong odds the best pitcher on Moley's itaff last season, and one of the best in the league. but with two or three excep- tions he hasn't shown much this season Ballmer apparently is too green for this company. Slapnicka's slow, deliberate style of pitching and his recent reverses have started the anvil chorus to Working and bleacherites are calling for his scalp
 Meantime it's up to Moley to decide just which two of his hurers he will re- lease in order to make room for Coffin daffer and Glazner. Crews will probably get his last chance to make good today.

RAzOR-bACKS HAVE ROOTED BARONSO OUT l OF FIRST DIVISION
|MOley's Men Have Won But Two Out of Eelven With Kids Clan-Bears
 Are Easy

Were 1t not for Little Rock, Moley's bruised and battered Barons would now be perched in the first division two games above the 800 mark. A glance at the records will show that the local professionals have found in Kid Elberfeld's Razor backs the toughest opposition of all, but two games of II played between these teams re- sulting in Baronial victories.
 The showing of the locals against other clubs has not been near so de- pressing in fact, the Barons stack up fairly well when their performances with the other seven clubs are consi1- cred. Chattanooga and Mobile have been easy, New Orleans was played to tie, Atlanta and Memphis have one-game lead on us and the Vols are two games ahead. Here's the results of the Barons' games with each of the other clubs in the circuit:

 There's one note of cheer to be found in the account of the game yester- day. Despite Atlanta's landslide victory and the terrific bombardment of the Bar on artillerymen- the sight men who played in the field never gave up. We hate to see em lose, but as long as they go down fighting we're with 'em. Sorry pitching has caused them to lose their old sangfroid and calmness. That's the pity of it.
 Hurry up, Mir Coffindaffer, and get in shape. We won't feel bad if yau do get bumped off in your first few starts, but let's change the scenery on the hurting hill.
 Pat Duncan, Eddie Mcdonald and John Peters were the hitting stars, each get ting three bingles out of four times up Bernsen also had good day with the willow.

 Too bad Morrison and Sigman aren't anbi-dextero.,s. They could pitch 'em all if they were.
 Kid Elberfeld is shattering all prece dents. by working his pitchers ever other day. If the Little Rock pilot isn' careful, he'll have a stable full of lame horses by the middle of July.

WIDOW SAYS NELSON'S
WILL is NOT SOUND

The will of the late aJckson Nelson.
offered for probate by David Taylor.
chief beneficiary, is being contested
by Mrs. Jane Nelson, widow of the de-
ceased and sister of Mr.. Taylor.
Through her attorneys, Raley, Raley
& Steiwer, Mrs. Nelson has petitioned
that the will be not allowed in pro-
bate.
At the time the will was executed,
on Sept 10. 1919, Jackson Nelson was
not competent to make a will, the pc
titioner alleges. She further alleges
that the instrument presented was not
his last will and testament and that,
because of circumstances, Jackson
Nelson was not in sound mind and
disposition to make a proper will. She
alleges that he was unduly influenced
by David Taylor. her brother and
asks that the whole will be thrown
out of the probate court.
County Judge c. H. Marsh this
morning heard the testimony of one
subscribing witness to the will. The
other is in Portland and has been
summoned. Until his testimony has
been taken and the petition of the
widow settled, the will cannot be en-
tered in probate.
At the time the instrument was exc
cuted. suit for divorce was pending in
circuit court, Mrs. Nelson having
started action in August. The deceas
ed was SS years old at the time of his
death on October g.

SUGAR REF|NERS FACE
PERSECUTION THREAT

WISH. NCTON. oct. 2O.-Attorney
;encril Palmer today threatened
prosecutions against beet and sugar
refiners who ask higher prices than
those set by the sugar equalization
board The wholesale price fixed by
the board, Palmer's announcement re-
vealed. is 10 cents less than two per
cent of the seaside basis.
Palmer's warning, telegraphed to
beet sugar refiners throughout the
country showed that the sugar
equalization board, and the depart
ment of justice have been cooperat-
ing to get beet sugar supply on the
market at a fair price to relieve the
present shortage.
Palmer, in the telegram to refin-
ers. quoted a telegram which the
equalization board also sent to refin-
ers. This message revealed the fact
that beet sugar factories are failing
to sell products as produced due to
about prices.
While Palmer's warning dealt with
wholesale prices, retail prices are
also directly affected. Fair price
now being formed

exactly what price retailers are pay
ing for sugar and at what price 1t
should be sold to allow a fair margin
of profit.
