Memphis. August 1S.-(speoial) Baseball was done vice versa this afternoon at Russwood park. Vice versa on more than five fingers. It was the busted Barons. hopelessly lodged in fifth place. who looked like tn eleague leaders. It was the Chickasaw league leaders who looked like they might be in the league just filling in. Whereupon the Barons, who wer enot pursuing anything in particular, but just doing a days work. won a ball game and the Chicks, who are pursuing a pennant about faced. The score was ? to 0.
 It was a most disastrous defeat for the clan of chief Abbott. While the Chicks were lowing to the Bar ons the Bears, runners-up, were clawing a pair of victories out of the Travellers, gaining a lap and a half on the leaders and come here tomor- row for a three-game series, only two and one-half games behind the Chicks.
 Opportunity rapped repeatedly on the door of the Chicks but was snubbed throughout the afternoon. According to all the laws of baseball. the AnlCkS SnOulu udNe SCOfeu d ndil- dozen runs. The Chicks made nine hits off Lil Stoner. late of the Detroit Tigers, but the well known punch in the pinch was conspicuous by its ab- sence. In. at least four of the in- nings the Chicks should have scored.
 After the Barons. by three oppor- tune hits, had done their scoring off Larry Benton in the first and third innings, Paul Zahniser halted them,
