Series

Baron baseball stock was a fast
moving stock Saturday, as develop.
ment after development came tap
ping in over the wires. and first the
one announcement and then an
other added tenseness to the situa-
ton. Joe Dunn and company made
the announcements.
The Bears had a corner on the mar
ket first, and curbstone circles were
rocked by the following announce
ments:
Bill Meekin, infielder, sent tc
Knoxville, Appalachian league, fol-
further development
Arthur Trefry, outfielder, sent to
Jackson, Miss, Cotton States league
on a farming out expedition. A
strong inclination to call is noted in
curbstone circles.

kcystoner, waived ont Of the Ma
tiOnal league, and will return to
the Birmingham club mt once.
Baron stock regains ten points

Stuffy Stewart - expected to
Join the BarOns at Nashville
Sunday.
Joe Dunn will shift his lineup. to
make room for Stewart in the open
ing game against the Vols. Slight
unsteadiness is noted in the markst.
BY that time, Baron stock had at
tanned a height bordering on that of
the famous leaning tower ofs Eiffel,
but, like that tower, it was leaning
dangerously on the edge of drop.

verdict. and n slight recovery of

Pete's debut Is a very short story.

there to praise or bury as the case
required. The pan changed Like
a ghost in an unlaundered shroud, the

There were two swishes and two hol-

This was flamboyant flattery to Lit
