"Stuffy" Stewart, guardian of the middle station for the locals, will be absent from the lineup when the Barons take the field this afternoon. The keystoner was suddenly called to his home in Jennings, Fla, on account of the serious illness of his mother, and is not expected to take part in the Vol series. Mana ger Molesworth stated last night that he did not know how long Stewart would be away, but thought the peppery second sacker should get back to the fold in time for the crucial series with the Pelicans next Monday.
 The absence of the stuffy one will be seriously felt by the Ba- ronial machine. as he has been playing a stellar game for the To- calls. However. Ralph Croll will fill Stewards shoes, and the utility man can hold down the middle station in great style himself.
