LEAGUE LEADERS HIT
 RED BATES IN PINCH
Stewards Charged With Three Errors And Can
 not Connect When Hits Count For Runs

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 31-Rock- ing along on their even tenure of way and as if it was all in days work the forerunning Chickasaws knocked the Barons off today without a score. The figures were four to nothing. The Chickasaws by winning wound up : the week with six victories and one de- feat. As the second place Crackers also won the tribe is still setting the pace six laps to the fore-and going strong. .
 t' The game, witnessed by 2,6O0 males and females was reeled off in one hour and 37 minutes, the fastest matinee of the season at Russwood Park.
 Pitching predominated, but in num- bers there was strength. Tom Rogers started for the Chicks and was pro- gressing nicely until the last out in the fifth inning when little Pete Brausen caroomed one off Toms knee that put him out of the game Rogers threw out Brausen retiring the side and then flopped. He staggered to the plate and batted in the fifth inning when the Chicks scored their first two runs and Rogers was ultimately credited with the victory. He had allowed the Barons but three hits and was pitching the best ball in his last several starts. Monroe Mitchell finished the game and ai- lowed the Barionial troupe two hits in four innings. :
 Deserved To Win
 Blond AIr. Bates of the Barons pitched game that upon most oc- casions would have returned him a win ner. He allowed six hits, but they came two each in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings, when the tribe did their scoring. An error by John Frank lin Stewart, the boy manager of the Barons, in the fifth inning, gave the Chicks one of their two runs in this frame. ;-'''''
 Blond Mir. Bates of the Barons turned the tribe back without the sem blance of safe blow until the fifth when with one out Bobby Lamotte lined over third for a single. That was the starter. Tom Rogers wobbling around at the plate on one steady leg forced Lamotte at second on grounder to Brausen. Blume went to run for Rogers and moved up to second to make room for Morrison, who walked. Bill Gleason oozed one in between Brausen and third base for double scoring Blume and putting Morrison on third. The boy-manager booted Wade's grounder straight at him and Morrison scored. Stewart then kicked Carlyle's grounder, but threw him out at first. 7. Score With Two Out
 The Chicks scored with two out in the sixth, when Anderson singled, stole second and scored on Lamotte's single. Morrison singled to pry open the sev- enth. Gleason sacrificed him to second and he went to third on Wade's in- field out. Carlyle combed one to the left field hill for a double and Morri- son scored. The next play furnished the fielding feature of the day-and some other days-with Foster Ganzel, the Baron left-fielder, perpetra ting. Taylor sent a liner sizzling toward the left hill, Ganzel, running at top speed, reached the footlights and jumped into the air spearing the drive with his armored hand. There was no element of luck to the catch. Ganzel judged the drive perfectly and made great catch.
 The three hits off Rogers came with two batters down each time. The best chance the Barons had to score off Rogers was in the fifth. Jeanes' first up, was safe when Taylor threw his grounder high to first, pulling Ander. son off the bag. Hartford attempted to bunt, and forced Jeanes at second, Anderson to Lamotte. Robertson fouled out to Taylor, who made a nice catch. Bates singled but Rogers threw
