 CLEANER DOES SHARE
 Credit must be given Whitey 6slaxnex for his share in the vie terry. whitey held the Vols under kls thumb throughout the game, allowing only three singles.
 Only two men reached second on GIazner, five getting as far first, two as Q result of walks by Whitey.
 Good fielding saved G1azner's record of hits allowed several times. Ellis, Barnhart and Hairston were instru- mental in holding the Vols in suhmis- sion.
 Buster Brown duplicated his feat of Friday and came within a few feet of Knocking a home run In the eighth inning he smashed a drive off the top of the rightfield wall, but again was Lucy Hairston ready to step into the breach Lucy caught the ball on the rebound and threw Brown out at sec ond. holding Buster to one of the long est singles ever seen at Redwood park. Barnhart stopped Jonnards line drive in the seventh that seemed a sure hit. Al Ellis, in left, gathered in six high flies and drives, at least two of which seemed safe hits.
 BARONS HIT HEAVILY

Leading Teams tn
 Southern League Closely Bunched

New Orleans, July 31.-First division teams of the Southern Association con- tinued closely grouped at the close or the seven days playing period, end ing with this afternoons game. Little Rock, closely pursued by New Orleans, lost today to Mobile. while the Pelicans took game from Chattanooga, mar rowing the margin between the two. Birmingham and Atlanta continued to occupy third and fourth places respec- lively, with neither one holding on very safely. In fact, bad week for any of the leaders would show material changes in the percentage table.
 New Orleans and Memphis made the best showings of the week. each win ming four games out of six played Dittle Rock won but two out of five while Atlanta won three and lost five. Birmingham won three and lost two. Chattanooga won four out of seven, Nashville three out of seven and Mobile three out of eight.
 Two extra inning contests livened up the action of the week when Little Rock and New Orleans came together. Honors were even at the wind-up how ever for the Travellers took a to game from the Pelicans in fourteen innings and the latter managed to get a decision in a to contest in the thirteenth inning.
 feature of the week which it was believed might increase attendance at Heinemann park here was a crusade started by local newspapers against gambling. It was alleged several hum dred men have for several seasons wor- ried spectators and annoyed non-betters by offering odds on the outcome of players at bat final scores and in fact about every angle of the game where a wager was possible. Nearly a hum dred have been refused admission and police action has curbed wagering ac- cording to today's estimates
