 Scare Into BaroniaI Ranks
By HENRY VANCE

Thursday, and incidentally the series, but they got their usual exhibit of pyrotechnics off in that last inning, and but for the fact that they had piled up an suNnountabfe lead in the earlier innings another ball game would have been kicked away in the ninth. As luck would have 1t they entered the ninth having 1o-4 ad- vantage over the Pelicans. The Birds scored three in the final frame and had three men left on base. A homer by Cotton Knaupp would have beat en 'em, but Cotton flied out to Silva in center and the game was over.
 Everything Happens
 Fans who were present at Thurs day's thriller saw everything that should and should not happen in baseball game. They witnessed the exit of a pitcher from each faction from the game. Drake started 1t for the Barons and one lone blow-a three base wallop-knocked him showerward in the third. Bailey was Dobbs choice on the hill until the fourth, and then a heavy Baron at tack, one of the heaviest they have shown this season, seHt him into the club house to go in close communion WAtA-A ACOAoi anu NfdHlulbs 1Neu bdJES finished 1t for the Barons and Craft pitched the rest of the way for the Pelicans.
 Bates Rides lem
 For five and two-thlrd innings the Pelicans were Red-ridden men. Young Bates showed 'em more stuff than they have seen this season. He went in.-ane stopped a rally in the third and held the Birds in the palm of hfS hand from Not only did the cerise-locked Mr. Bates hold 'em scoreless but he con tributed towards the bling up of runs. scoring three men with a two base blow in the third and wallop ing out single on his second attempt at the plate. Reds chances of hit ting 1000 for the 1922 season went piimmering In the seventh, however, when he grounded out second to first.
 Red would probably have Rona through the ninth in the same breezy style, but the Baron aerial circus pof started on the split second. just AIS soon as the ninth. began and errors by krehmyer and Burkett had much 10 oo with undermining the Cliff dweller's morale.
 Johnny Noun continued his hi4- ting Thursday, getting two out of Tour. Stump Clarke sprang from his slump and garnered three safe swats out or live trips up. Tommy Tavlor nirfed two out of five, one a luscious three Dagger, and Jesse Burkett Erapoed off two safeties for the day But old Reduel really led the attack. swasung q single and two-sao oker out or three times up. It was the firsf time this season the Barona have snown anything like a powerful at taok. They pounded out IS safe smachers Tor ten runs. and for once 1ooked like real hitting ball club.
 BaronS Have Punch
 Mofev's men got going early. too. 1hey greeted MT. Bailey with a cot- pie of counters in the very first frame after Drake had gotten away 70 . good start. Silva was hit on the things and Johnny Neun in attemnt- ing sacrifice, caught Bailey flat footed and beat the tap out. This placed two one with none down Harry Harper grounded out third 10 first and the runners moved up a peg. Tommy Taylor then cracked special delivery to left and Silva and Neun came home before the pellet could be herded. Clarke was an easy out. but Smith climbed into the ozona and robbed Burkett of a hit. He snagged a line drive after a beauti- ful leap into the air.
 Drake Yanked
 Moley's men enjoyed this two run lead until the third In that inning Drake's control checked up missing. He had plenty of stuff on the ball, but didn't know where it was going. An error by Krehmyer started the Baronial right-hander off on the swrong foot and Meyers was safe. Bailey laid down a bunt and Ncun ,,fielded it, Drake making one of the prettiest plays of the game. when he took the peg on the dead run as he crossed the bag. With Meyers on second Drake wobbled and passed Bogart. He also issued a pass to Gill bert and the bases were filled. Henry, after getting the pitcher in the hole caught one coming down the groove and almost knocked the score beard down with a triple. Three men raced home and Moley applied the hook. He sent the lanky Mr. Bates to the rescue.
 Bates also was wild at the start. and gave a base on balls to Tucker. Foss hit to second base and was out at first, Henry scoring the fourth run of the inning on the play.
 Barons After Bailey
 The Barons were helpless in their half of the third and Bates moved the Birds down in one, two, three or der in the first of the fourth The locals then came in and started a campaign that eventually made for /. Railey's retirement from the battle. .Burkett led off with a single 10 left and Krehmeyer looked over four wide one and walked. Tooter Brandon attempted a sacrifice, and was safe
