By MAC

Even the dusty little sparrows that play about the grandstand roof at Redwood field are singing the praises of Rabbit" Brausen and Roy Moore this morning. When the gods of baseball have written their final decrees, emblazoned in letters of gold will be found the names of these two on the great record book.
 It was Brausen and Moore who de- feated the Crackers Saturday after noon, who quelled every uprising Of the pastiming Crackers of Atlanta and made possible the sixth victory or the season over the men es Otto Miller.
 The Barons wound up a week or successes with another victory over the Crackers yesterday afternoon, when Roy Moore thrashed George Dumont, the "Hltless Wonder, in mound duel, score to l. When Roy Moore was not thrashing Dumont, Pete BraUsen was cnastising his Cracker mates, so there you are.
 Crackers Lacked Punch.
 The Crackers exhibited their usual lack of punch, securing only tlVe hits off of Moore. On four occasions they had opportunities to score, put always they were faced with Moore or Rrausen, In the one inning they did manage to score, an ounce more punch would have supplied the run that would have tied the game up.
 As for Dumont, George was hit safely eight times. He managed 10 keep them pretty well scatteIeu, however, and in only one lirin9 lriia% were the Barons able to score. That ons lime proved enough to win the game, however.
 The actual inning that defeated the Crackers was the hfth, When Stewards men scored their TWO rIus. With one out, Hartford walked, put was forced at second by Roy Moore. his mate to third. Then HecR pop bled on Stewards grounder, anu Moore scored, Brausen going 10 sec ond and Stewart going SaLe dC AI oe' Miller walked, filling the pases' Brock uncorked passed pal, anu oI.e ,,,nytne m a bag. Then Robertson erounded out and the rally was oVer' Brnusen Chokes 'Em off.
 Tn the very next inning, the sixth the Crackers came up fighting Inau' and seemed well on the ,itSS+ T1S +foD averaging their work of humilldI I5oit 1B-,t at the hands of the Barons. put tben there was Brausen to be reck- oned with. and the wee form or the little Baron effectively plockee ,Iii way to victory for the men ol 1.i+,, Itti Her.

 The ..Rabbit'' Used Head.

 The crackers did score one run yesterday, that coming Tn the seN enth. Miller led off with a clean drive to center field TOT one DdSe' lie went to second on Karr's infteld out, +o third on Brooks duplicate, and scored when Dumont hit a nice drive to right. Heck walked, but Guyon ended the rally by forcing Heck at second.
 In one other inning a walk and two-bagger put Moore in trouole, put , Brausen engineered a two-ply kill ing that sent the Crackers back scoreless. M
 It was due to the great pitching of Moore and the fine defensive of Brau- sen that the Barons ended week or successes by trouncing the crackers f,e @ week
