BARONS DONATE
 NINE STRAIGHT
Pelicans And Crackers Shine In Past
 Week

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 17.-With all first division teams winning and second division teams losing ground, there was but slight change in the pen nant race of the Southern Association during the past week.
 Atlanta gained a full game on Mem phis, but the Chickasaws are. still 10 games in the lead.
 Including today's game, Memphis won seven and lost two, while Atlanta won eight and lost one. New Orleans, including today's double header, won seven and lost one.
 Nashville, holding fourth place in the standing, won five and lost one.
 In eight games, including Saturdays, Memphis scored 63 runs on S5 hits but allowed opponents to score 57 times. All other first division teams made a better showing on the defense, New Or leans holding opponents to 12 runs in six games, Nashville letting the enemy down with IA runs in five games and the opponents of the Atlanta club SCOT ing but 31 times in nine games.
 Entering the last months battle of | IuS AS HI AAOAL OA Atlanta with ten game lead. New Or leans is close behind Atlanta, in third place, while Nashville, in fourth posi- tion, has a commanding lead over Mo bile. Chattanooga is in sixth place, Bir- mingham in seventh and Little Rock in last. ,---
 New Orleans won six games from Birmingham during the week. In the 1 long series the Pelicans scored A runs and held >the Barons to 12. New Or leans made 66 hits as against 52 for Birmingham and the Barons made 13 errors while New Orleans made five.
 Hitting honors for the week went to Chattanooga. In the seven games, including Saturdays, the Lookouts aver aged 12 hts to the game. They averaged eight runs to the game. They had a bad week on the defense, however, per hitting opponents to score 63 times and making B errors in seven games. Included in the Lookouts 84 hits were six home runs.
 Birmingham, chiefly because oppo- nents hammered Baron pitchers, lost nine games up to Saturday. During that period, Birmingham allowed opponents 66 runs.
 Mobile had a stpenuous week, playing 10 games, including Saturdays. The Bears lost eight of them. Little Rock played only four games, including to- days double header.

PIRATES SET
 HECTIC PACE Tigers And Browns Head American During
 Week

NEW YORK, Aug. 17-By spurt of seven straight victories, six of them within the last five playing days, Pittsburg transformed the National league race from a walk-away for New York into a real struggle for John Hey dler's penant during the past week. With the Pirates only three games be- hind the Giants, interest in the older circuit compares favorably with that maintained at fever heat for many weeks in the American league cam paign.
 New York entered Pittsburg for its last series of the season with a seen- ingly invincible lead of seven games over their closet rivals and dropped four successive contests to the re- juvenated Corsairs. All the games were hotly contested. Three of them were decided in the Pirates favor by a margin of two runs and the fourth by one run.
 Winning four out of five while De- troit was breaking even in six games the Yankees again forged to the front in the American league and now show the way to the Tigers by a game and a half. Washington gained half game on Cobb's cohorts and now trail them by a contest and half. The St. Louis Browns maintained the two game interval between the Senators and themselves.
 The distance separating the four leaders in Ban Johnson's parade from the second division clubs increased materially in the past seven days. Cleveland is running a bad fifth to St. Louis, seven games and a half to the rear. Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston follow in order.
 The race for third place between Brooklyn and Chicago in the National continues with unabated fury, the Cubs now leading the Robins by only one game. The other four clubs are hopelessly outclassed.
 American league boxmen contributed the two best pitching performances of the week. Mogridge of the Senators let Cleveland down with two hits, and Ehmke of the Red Sox turned back Chicago with the same number of safe ties. Four-hit games were recorded by Pennock of the Yankees, Wingard of the Browns, Robertson and Thurston of the White Sox and Johnson of the Senators. Johnson also chalked up a five-safety win, as did Davis of St. Louis.
 In his only appearance on the mound during the seven-day period, Dazzy Vance of the Robins scored a three-hit shutout over Cincinnati. It was Vances twentieth victory of the season and his eighth in succession. Another three-bingle performance was registered by Hubbell of the Phillies. Bush, the Cub recruit, lost to Philadel- phia after holding Fletcher's aggrega- tion to four hits. A five-safety win was turned in by Grimes of the Dodgers.

The work is expected to be COM

The object has been to test as many

to get county assistance and test

In order to accomplish this some
assistance from the county will be
required

the efforts at control which are be-

portance of this COW testing work
can scarcely be over estimated.
