DUMONT, WHO LET BARONS DOWN HITLESS WEDNESDAY,, WILL OPPOSE MOORE TODAY
BL MAC

Back from the darkness of banishment will come Roy Moore of the Barons, today. Back to the world of pastiming. The ing with his majesty, the umps, sent Roy on his way, and for three days the husky Baron was banished.
 And now that the official frown has changed to the smile of indulgence, Roy Moore Is ready to pitch, is rearing to pitch, to quote the victim him self, So Roy will twirl Saturdays game at Redwood, the final bat tie of the season against the Atlanta Crackers. And to Roy Moore will be assigned the task of making it 8 good one the Barons quit on.
 The Crackers are far ahead of the Barons for the seasons series having won IS out of the 20 games played. There's not chance to do more than Win eight from Atlanta this season, but the fact that six out of the last seven games played with Millers men were Baronial Yic- tories will go 8 long ways to- wards helping heal the wounds of early season defeats.
 Roy Moore has been suspended, due to a fracas with Umpire Mc- Gowan over in Atlanta the first of the week, but today his sen tence is up, and Moore will pitch today. The suspension didn't hurt anything, for Moore couldn't have pitched before today any way.
 Against the slugging young hurler of the Barons will prob ably be George Dumont, the "hitless wonder" of the Cracker outfit.
 It was Dumont who turned the Rarons back hitless in an eight inning game over in Atlanta Wednesday, and Manager Miller will send him to the mound to- day in an effort to close the season with the Barons with a victory.
 Roy Moore Is back from the darkness of punishment, and to- day will attempt to win his see- ond victory within the week rom the Atlanta Crackers.
 Baron Hurlers Are Stingy
 No greater proof of the ex~ cellent form in which the Baron iaI hurlers are can be obtained than a listing of the present weeks record at Redwood. In four games played against the Crsckers-35 innings-only To bits have been allowed the At Ianta team. The pitchers who have worked are Whitehill, Brady, Bates and Stewart.
 In 35 innings 35 hits amount to less than half q hit an inning ar less than four hits a game' Ts it any wonder that the men of stewart have staged such cOme-back against Atlanta WIth such pitching as thatf
 The Barons beat on old mate yesterday in Phil Morrison put Phil couldn't be blamed mucn: His team didn't have the KICK or glass of water, ana any niteher would probably have lost for them yesterday. Throw in the Federal Reserve
 Yes. therelI be no Bob Roper Martin Burke boxing match at Rirrin gham, This information was gently eased out by Dave Evans, B. A. c. matchmaker Who has no desire to be accused OF prevarication.

 A. O., for the guarantee or S5,OOO."
 That ended the discussion and all talk of a Eoper-p19r 1Fe 9rAe fient at the B. A. C.-for Dave nTicIxlv added that he knew xbat he was talking about, ana +bat neither he nor the generous MaTtin Burke had been seeing tbings on some of these chil4y' damp nights. uSbOuId AuId Acquaintance"
