 With Uncle Barney Dreyfuss sit ting in the stands looking on, Phil Morrison, aided and abetted by some punch prowess on the part of his mates, sent the Mobile Bears down to defeat in the first game of the series Thursday afternoon, 1 to 3.
 Phil had to light an uphill battle to do it. too. suffering under tho iandicap of one bad inning when the same was mere youngster. But he suck by the guns nobly, and his mates, after flunking along for sey- 'ral innings on the offerings of Ray .oberts, suddenly pinched themselves, ,ot busy and won a ball game.
 Wickham Chased
 The game was featured by some
 Ncessive sauciness on the part of Kitty Wickham, and Kitty was duly oanished from the game, but not until hizzonner, the umps, pulled watch on Kitty and said something about forfeiting the game, unless the ca daVerous Kitty took to his heels The pawn sprin gon the ump's watch was not broken, and realizing this, Mir. Wickham shuffled from the scene of battle, turning over his glove to Red Torkelson, who was hired by the Mobile officials to clown the show Kitty got his walking papers in the sixth.
 Some Other Features
 Of course there were other fea- lures as well, one being the fact that the nine innings were negotiated in enc hour and forty minutes. Another was great one-handed sidewheel- ing stab by Tommy Taylor of Bells near-ht in the seventh, and Eaulk- ners great stop of Stuffy Stewards infield hit in the seventh. Thxs scratch bingle won the ball game for the Barons, but Faulkner's wizardry at Tagging the ball, and snappine throw to the plate almost cut down his man.
 The Bsrons got the jump on the Bears in tho first inning, but It didn't do 'em great deal of good, They scored their first tally in hitless fashion. Stuffy Stewart was first ap and drew pass It is time-hon- ored omen, that when a pitcher walks the first man up, he'll score Stuffy got as far as second via the theft routs. He went over to third on an infield out and scored when Pond dropped the peg to the plate, after Traynor's grounder to short.
 PkiI's Had Inning
 Sir Phillip got into gobs of trouble in the second frame and the Bears got that run back, with two more to boot. Kitty Wicnham was first up and Phil kicked Kitty in the slats with fast one. kitty has nine lives, however and Wicknam trotted to first. Gelvin's offering was clean single to right. Wagner swung wildly at three and contrib uted the first out. Boil was patent and drew pass. This placed three men on the funways. with only one down Pond smacked long single to the fence in right and two men came across. Roberts was strike out victim, but F'aulkner's blow to right fell safe and another tally was registered. Manager Bronkie brought the rally to close, when he hit to Traynor and forced Faulkner at second for the third out.
 Things looked exceedingly dark at this juncture and continued so to look for three innings. Although the Ba- rons had nicked the home plate for one run in the first three frames, they had failed to make a hit off Rays side-arm delivery. It looked like the former Atlanta star was right Even past the fourth frame they had damned out but one safety, but in the fifth they erawied to with in one run of fhe Aobliians. The mar ket was extremely Bearish up until that fifth frame. Clarkie got fudge-hit out of his system to start the fifth and went all the way to second on Faulkner's wild chunk. Gooch. was a helpless pop-up and Nor Pi ica fly, however, was equal to the occa- sion with a one-ply clout to the mid de garden and Clarke came home. Stufry went out on an attempted theft and the inning closed.
 iucnis Win In Ssvtntk
 The locals tied and won the game in the seventh, recognized the town oyer as their luck frame. Silva beat a pulled hit out to start things off and Stump. who is subbing for Pug Allen in left, got his second hit Of the game. Gooch sacrificed 'em over to second and third and Phil Mor- riAon connected with the blow that tied the score. It went to left and Silva kicked the home-plate. Stewards hi twent to short and Faulkner diI | contortionistic twist in making sensational stop of the ball. His tHiOW tO tnC PlatS Wds tAaks tpp but Clarkie had bounded away with the crack of the bat and slid in home safely for the winning run. Emery sacrificed and Traynor was an i'm field out for the end of scoring for the afternoon.
 Bear Rally Falls
 Phil warded off trouble in the eighth. when he put Red Torkleson on base by a walk and allowed Goi- win to sacrifice him to second. He caused Wagner and Boil to sky to the gardens, however, and was out of danger, except for the ninth.
 The last frame was productive af another scare. Pond was patient and got a free ticket to first as . starter. was an infield out. Faulkner also popped up for the second out. Bronkie. however, breezed to first on an infield hit. and Mulvey got in the way of a pitched ball. The bases were loaded, but Torkleson flivvered on the job, forcing Muivey. Traynor 10 stewart, for the wind-up of the same.
 Bears and Barons will fight It out for the second game this aftsrncon and Mike Eberhard will probably get
