Saturday will see the closing out of the first baseball series of 1923 between the Pelicans and Barons. The count stands one and one, and today will tell the tale.
 Joe Dunn's men have had rather successful week, con sidering everything. Paired against two of the strongest teams in the league-New Or leans and Mobile-they have thus far managed to break even. winnig two and losing two. If they do as well with the Pels and Bears the remainder of the season, fandom won't register many complaints.
 It fell to the lot of the great est veteran of them all, Bill Whittaker-hero of several Dixie championship series, while member of the Fort Worth Panthers-to humble the Barons Friday. He outpitched four Baron hurlers. though he was apparently growing weaker as the game progressed. Had his team been pushed, he probably wouldn't have stuck the route.
 
 Earl Whitehill, who has proven to he the only Baron hurIer who can pitch con- sistent ball thus far in the season, will probably draw the closing assignment with the Pels. Roy QDixie) Walker, that dread speed ball artist of n couple of seasons ago, will more thnn likely have another fling at the Barons, and n chance to rag with the raiIbirtls. n fnvorite pastime with both parties concerned.

 "Why Is my new hat like kissing ones wife" hazily inquired Monty Priests, for mer Southern league pitcher. Friday afternoon. "COrrect. because it's not felt" And Monty won the pup without n dissenting vote, for his hat was brand new, shining, dazzling "straw Katy" For fact, 1t was not felt.
 Monty Trieste. who always winters at Birmingham, stated Friday that he will probably play with some strong semi- pro or industrial team this season. Monty, who was a pitcher while in the Southern league. played in the outfield at Dyersburg. Tenn. in 1922. but that team has joined organized baseball, and Trieste won't re- turn to them this summer.

| EBBETS TO SPEND
 REAL MONEY, IS LATEST REPORTS

The winning and losing of ball games assumed second importance Friday to the announcement that Uncle Charlie Ebbets is trying to bolster his Brooklyn Nationals by spending real money. So great was the ensuing sensation that the Dodgers themselves could not act natural-so they took victory at Philadelphia, } to ?.
 Uncle Charles purse snapped open, but didn't empty The Brooklyn manager offered Jack Dunn of the Baltimore Orioles S100 000-in cash, mind you-for Joe Boley, star short stop of the minor leagues. Dunn saved Charlie any future regrets by refusing to sell Boley at any price. Though the offer equalled the minor league record price paid by the Chicago White SoX for Third Base man Willie Kamm last winter. Dunn said Baltimore needed Boley as badly as the Dodgers did-if that were possible.
 But Ebbets has not given up hope of yet amassing ball team that will end outside the cellar. He received word that Jacques Fournier, the holdout first baseman obtained from the Cardinals, would report for work Sunday. Early in the season Four nier refused an sS000 contract for one year. w nat Cnarne eventually offered him is not announced.
 The Friday victory failed to lift the Dodgers out of eighth position in the National league. They still share it with the Boston Braves, who won from the Giants at New York, 10 to 2. The Pittsburg Pirates whipped the Cubs, ? to 1, in pitch CTS battle between Morrison and Alexander. Wet grounds caused post pointment of the Cardinals game.

CHARGE AGAINST
 RUTH WITHDRAWN IN GOTHAM COURT

NEW YORK. April 27.-Miss De- lores Dixon, who recently brought suit for S50,000 damages against Babe" Ruth, the New York Yankees nome run king" alleging seduction and assault withdrew her case today. The withdrawal was made just as the case of Robert McChesney, wno was to have been examined in supreme court as to the record of Miss Dixon, was about to be called.
 McChesney did not appear when called and Hymann Bushell, Ruins attorney, asked that the case be dis missed. He produced stipulation signed by Miss Dixon, her guardian ad litem, Barbara V. Escoe, and her attorney, George Feinberg, with drawing the quit.
 Bushell announced also he had ob tained a confession signed by Miss Dixon in which she admitted the suit was the result of frame-up in which several persons were involved. Ruth's attorney declinei to give out the document saying he would show it to Babe at Boston toGay. He then would turn it over to the dis trict attorney for investigation, Bus hell said.
 "Without Costs'
 The stipulation signed by the plain tiffs, which Ruth's attorney sub mitted to the court, was in the form of an agreement by which the suit was to be withdrawn without costs to either party against the other an order to that effect to be entered without notice by either party to the other"
 Bushell said he had refused to sign the stipulation. Although he kept secret the contents of Miss Dixon's alleged confession he showed re- porters signature which he said was hers affixed to the documents.
 Ruth was training in the south when the suit was announced, and he at once vigorously denied that he ever knew, or had seen Miss Dixon. He was joined by Mrs. Ruth in de- nouncing the case as a blackmail scheme
