Even the most optimistic Baron boos- ter is about ready to toss up the sponge now and admit that Molesw orth hash a chance to cop the pennant with the team he's got at the present time.
 When the Barons began-and continued their winning streak some time ago, turning in ten consecutive victories, shouts and yells of encouragement and jubilation arose from all sides. But how, after two disastrous weeks, most fans are beginning. to realize that the Barons must have been playing at least 20 per cent above their Average form. The Bar ons haven't won even 50 per cent of their last fourteen games Since the time that the Barons were halted in their win ming streak, fifteen games have been played. Ten have been defeats and five victories. The Barons have lost five straight games, four to Memphis and one to Little Rock. ~-
 Taken individually one by one, the Barons can stack up with any team in the league. It is certain that there is no better backstop with any Southern League club than Peters. Bernsen conl- pares favorably with any initial sacker in the circuit, Croll, Stewart, Stevenson and Barnhart have few peers. Ellis, Griffith and Meeks, in the outfield, are fast, hard-hitting group. Our pitching staff, although it is not quite up to standard, could make a passable show ing with a fairly hard hitting club. There are one or two real stars on the corps and then some mediocre performers.

i, Taken all in all however. on paper the Barons can't be beat. Yet on the fieli there are few who fall before the Bar ons. Moley's men are fruit for ma jority of the Southern League clubs. It must be something wrong with the team work department. The players
 must not be pulling together as one unit The lineup may be arranged all wrong The Barons can get men on bases in at least five out of the nine innings, but a large part of the time there is no punch or pep to shove the runners across. The hits are not forthcoming when needed With one or two more players, one Of them a good southpaw pitcher, and the other an outfieider or utility infielder who can hit the bah for a substantial average, and a little jaclling up of the team work, Molesworth might make q strong bid for the pennant, but as mat ters now stand our chances look dim. | Rumblings have been heard ever since 1 Little Rock signed up Casey Smith, dis missed by Manager Graham of the San Francisco Club of the Pacific Coast League.

 1 It is clear that if Smith was fired out of the Pacific Coast League for gam i bling on the game he is not eligible to play in the Southern League. Gambling. | especially in the case of the player, 1 should be abolished in baseball. If Smith or any other player will gamble in the 1 Pacific Coast League he will gamble in ! the Southern.

 | Two deals not exactly above board have been pulled off in the Southern League recently, the Dick Kaufman deal and
