Bnrons Wins First Game
 From Bears
Travellers Take League Lead ership By Beating Chicks. Peters Gets Three Clean
 HitS---Morry Is
 InvinCibIe 4s
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

The Baronial machine, fight ing desperately to retain it's hold o na chance to win out in the race, vest erday came through with a hard earned victory, defeating the Mobile Bears, 3 to l, with John Hor- rison pitching a beautiful game against the Bruins.
 Had not the Travellers won their game in Memphis, the Barons would have a,aineu full game on the leaders. As it was, the Barons merely held their position, two and 8 half games from top, while the Pels sank into second place, giving way to Kid Elberfelds Scrappers, who now have a lead of one full game in the pennant race.
 Despite the win yesterday, the cloud still looks black as it passes over the BaroniaI horizon. True, the Barons are playing good ball and true, they can win majority of their remaining games. But with Little Rock meeting no oppo- sitien whatever, only great slip can land the peunant in Birmingham.
 TRAVELLERS MAY CRACK
 However, many are looking for the Travellers to crack. Even the best of teams can lose to cellar aggregations. ThefsTravelers can't win every game; at least, it's hardly probable that they will. Meanwhile, the Barons must win game after game. and stand ready to slip into the lead when the Travellers do falter for an instant. Once let Moley's men advance to the front and there will be no such thing as heading them.
 Baron batters had no difficulty in finding" Lukanovic at will yesterday. Twelve hits were made off the Bear hurler, which should have netted the Rarons more than the three runs they scored. Good support kept down the Baron's score.
 John Morrison moved the Bears down with machine-lise precision during the first seven innings, In the eighth, how ever the Bears got him for one run which was unearned, however as it re- suited from an error. The Bruins were able to make only five hits off Worry.
 Big John" Peters, giant backstop of the Barons, led in the attack on Lukano- vic, slamming out three clean hits off
