BARONS SPLIT TWO
 WITH MOBILE BEARS
Stewards Win Thrilling Game As Started But
 Lose Second Before Pitching Of Bill Ellis

The Bears and 8arons s0lit a dou- ble-header at Redwood Field Thurs day, the first game of which the Stew arts won in Sensa tional manner, and z, and the second of which the Bears won in an entirely uninteresting way, 9 to 1.
 The first contest was the longest played at Redwood this season and consumed two hours and 43 minutes in playing. It was marred by poor umpiring and numerous squabbles over decisions. Empires Pigue and Camp bell gave an exhibition or near-sighted- ness, which caused considerable argu- mentation and the expulsion of two Mo- bile players. The decisions of the ar- biters on one or two plays looked de- cidedly wrong and both made matters worse by tyrannous methods in appar- ently trying to cover up their faults. tt Many Controversies
 The early innings of the first game was thickly interspersed by set-tos be- tween umps and players of both teams. The Bears put up the more numerous protests and it appeared that in sev- eral instances they were in the right. When Umpire Pigue called 'trike on Rhino Williams in the third in- ming of the first game and he tossed his bat up he was quickly ordered out of the park. The decision won the strike appeared to be exceedingly rank as viewed from a position directly back of the plate. Later in the game Gan gel slid for second and slid over. The play was close beforehand aSd when the Baron left fielder lost the bag it made it more doubtful but Umpire Campbell called him safe. Kelly pro tested and was promptly exterminated Further threats of expulsion were made by both Campbell and Pigue to quell uprising of indignant Bears.
 Bears Gain
 The first ,,ame was thriller. The early lead gained by the Barons was cut down by the Bear1 and in the last three or four inn lgs the battle was anybody's for the taking. The Bar ons won it in the eighth when Gan gel tripled to right center and Brau- sen scored him with single. Even this play was protested by the Bears. Mulvey made one of the most senSa- tional snags on Cancels drive ever witnessed at Redwood. Running far across the field, full speed he reached way out and just managed to snare the ball. It caught in the lacings of his glove and he ran several steps, over balanced, and the ball was knock ed from his hand by his knee. The hit went for three bases, though Mo bile players claimed that Mulvey held the ball long enough to count it as a catch.
 Jeanes Big Star
 It was the great playing of Tex Jeanes, both in the fiel and at bat, which won the game for the Barons. He saved the contest on one or two occasions and contributed to it's win. ming by slashing hitting. The Bar. ons' center fielder hit four times safe ly out of four times at bat in the first game. His home run in the seventh to the right center ield fence put the Barons in the lead. He hit a double and pair of singles also. A sensational catch by Jeanes in the ninth inning saved the game for the Barons for the bases were full and the drive was headed for the fence. Jeanes also hit a triple in the second game.
 Phil Sawyer, the new Baron twirl- CT, started the first game, but did not last. He had trouble finding the
