 The only score made by the Bears after the second was Ponds homerun drive over the right field wall in the ninth inning.
 Good catches by Hairston, Stewart and Ellis helped Morrison hold the sensational Bears. Hairston especially made a sensational catch, when he ran to the right field foul line and made enchanted stab of Haid's line drive.
 Morrison kept the seven hits off him well scattered.
 SECOND GAME
 Fulton kept the three hits allowed the Barons in the second game, we'll scattered His support, however, was sensational which coupled with the good work of Johnson and Pfirman was all he needed to beat the Barons.
 In the fifth the Barons started a rally. Ellis singled. Hairston grounded to second base, driving the ball hard, but Mullen made difficult stop. throwing to Colvin. Lucy beat the throw a mile, but Pfirman called him out This took the life out of the Barons and Gooch and Coffindaffer went out in order, leaving Ellis on third.
 BEARS GO IN LEAD In the first inning two hits were punched for one run by the Bears. In the third Coffindaffer wild pitch let in McMillan. wh6 had doubled to left and advanced to third on Wickhams sacrifice.
 In the fourth Coleman drove the bal, over the right field wall for home run.
 It must be admitted that Fulton pitched a beautiful game, but had the breaks and the umpiring been different the table might have been different far different.
 Meeker and Glazner will probably pitch tomorrow's games against Mo bile.

 Bears Split
 Double Bill
Morry Holds Bears in First. Poor Decision By Umpires
 Take Life Out of Team

Mobile, Ala, September 1. Special )-Clouting any and everything offered them by Pitcher Haid, the Barons today broke their losing streak of four straight defeats by easily defeating the Bears, 6 to 4. Twelve safe bingles were made by the Barons. All six of their runs were cleanly earned.
 Mobile won the second game to O., in which combination of good pitch ing, breaks of the game and extremely poor umpiring enabled the Bears to triumph over the Barons.
 UMPIRES BLIND
 Umpire Pfirman didn5t seem to be able to call anything right today. He called Lucy Hairston out at first when the Baron had crossed the plate 8 full two seconds before the ball arrived there, thereby robbing Lucy of q hit and nipping in the bud young rally that had promised to produce Baron tallies When Outt1elder Bert Grif- fifth demurred over the decision be- tween innings, Umpire Pfirman chased him from the game, putting out one of the surest fielders and most reliable hitters on the team. Umpire Johnson fully backed up Pfirman and had words with Catcher Peters.
 While not directly responsible for the defeat of the Barons, Empires Johnson and Pfirman gave decisions which greatly handicapped the Barons in their drive to victory.
 FIRST GAME
 To get back to the games, the Barons had Haid at their mercy in the first encounter. The Bear curve ball artists, usually so effective against The Barons couldn't hold Moley's bat ters down in the pinches.

Modern long-range shells are cs- gar-shaped. They taper both at the front and at the rear. This tapering of the rear end is called 'boat-tailing.' You have noticed that racing automo- piles have torpedo-shaped sterns. A square-tailed shell or automobile Is actually held back at high speeds be- cause of the vacuum created behind it by the velocity of its movement. Tapering the tail leads the air gently and easily into the hole that the shell or the racing car bores in the atmos- phere and thus lessens vacuum's im- peding grip on the flying object.
