 Americans were expected to be strong competitors and to maintain the lead they
 have gained in shooting with army

GOOD PITCHING
 HAS HELPED BARONS

There's one thing that no South- ern League critic can find fault with. at least at the present time. and that is the pitching of the Baron moundsmen. The Baroninl staff has yyabbled in the past, but the brand of ball being twirIed by the local sInbssters now Is de- cidedIy up to standard.
 Some days the team doesn't hit behind its pitchers. Other days it runs wild and drives in run after run. This department of the team may shake and shivcr at times but the pitching may usually be relied upon.
 When the Barons offer any kind oi support at all, and score even limited of runs, Moley's pitchers car usually be counted upon to hold the 
 Whitey Glazner's feat of yesterday turning the Vols back with three hit' to their credit, and no runs scored, is merely a duplication of previous vic tories of Morrison, Coffindaffer, Gal lagher and Meeker.
 If the team continues to hit the bal hard and to score runs regularly, Boss

 With the close of the season nearing and the Barons within easy striking distance of the leaders, times are get ting mighty interesting for local bugs.

and 1900 by emigration of 5.0OO.0Oo

four years of war and ten years OF
Bolshevistic reconstruction; out OF
many long weary years of denuncia-
alton by politicians and hostile

economic slavery of all its cotton

Europe and New England to beat
down and held down the. price OF

duction, the South has emerged tri-

Astounding; prosperity which, lifts the

the South with "the music of prog

made by the Manufacturers Record
which also says

In these things it must fill up the

Surely every patriotic American,
it matters not where he may live or
