New Orleans, June 5.--Little Rock and Mobile went into a tie for second place in the Southern Association Memphis split a double-header with unable to retain second position un disputed.
 With nine games raired out of the schedule during the week, three dou- ble-headers were scheduled for today and served to change few positions in the standing.
 By taking two games from Atlanta with apparent ease, Birmingham passed New Orleans and assumed third place. not far behind the tied second-place teams. Atlanta was forced to drop behind Nashville as a result of the latter's double victory over Chattanooga.
 Including today's games, the wind up of the week gave Little Rock a little the best of the record, the Tray elers having won five out of seven games played. Birmingham and Nash vile each won two- thirds of the games played, the latter taking six out of nine and the former four out of six. Mobile was the only other team to show a greater gain than loss, the Bears coming out with three victories and two lossesg Chattanooga partici- pated in nine games and lost four, Memphis lost a like number but fig ures in ten contests Atlantas played five games and each game cut down the standing of the 1919 pennant win ners.

 Meanwhile the Barons are regaining some of the ground lost on that disas- trous road trip week before last Three straight victories have helped them along snot little bit.
 Lowly as the Vols are, Roy Ellam s crew has always been Jonah to the Birmingham outfit. Therefore it is with apprehensions that we see our boys catch the train for Voltown to engage the nine from that district in a four game series. If we break even we will call ourselves lucky.
 The Crackers have gone, to Chatta- nooga to recuperate from the ravages of the Barons. The Lookouts, well known fruit" should prove profitable to Cholly Franks aggregation. Congratulations to O. B. Newman for winning the Porter Clothing Company cup It is indeed an honor to be con- sidered the best all-around athlete in any college.

A few more days like yesterday ana the Barons will have every record and first place in the Southern League. first in the league standings, best fielders in the league, highest hitters and best in the pitching records. The Barons were su- perb in everyone of these departments Of the game yesterday.
 The Crackers have served up their best in the pitching line to the Barons and all have been pounded equally as hard, with as equal disregard to custom and tradition. The Barons have made thirty six hits in the three games against the Crackers, an average of twelve to a d game. TWenty-three runs have been made off the Crackers, or an average or seven and two-thirds per game. That certainly going some.
 Dick Kaufman, who is in charge of the Crackers on their road trip, really in- tended to win that second game yester- day. That's why he sent in Sheehan to pitch When the BaronS knocked Shee- han from the box Wednesday,, the Cracker field manager was rather dazed, but still confident. When the Bar

His bat is heaVs one. too. so he seems to be regular 1 Dor lney made three runs and four hlts out of seven times at bat in the two games yesterday. He drove in four runs yes terday.
