The Mobile Bears jumped in the lead in their series with the Barons here Monday by taking the first encounter at Redwood, to 1. Joe Acostas air tight pitching, his teammates timely hitting, the disorganized state of the Baron team and Goods wildness were some of the forces whose course the Bears turned down channels that brought them final victory.
 IS Go Out In Row
 Three hits were obtained off of Acos- ta. Petey Brausen hit the first ball pitched in the game by the Mobile hurler over second base for a clean single. From then to the sixth inning no Baron hit safely. In the sixth, Brau- sen came up again and singled, and in the seventh Robert Rhode singled for the third safety. Starting at the part of the first inning, Is men were thrown out in the order of their appearance at the plate. Only 31 men were re- quired to take their turn at the plate for the Mobile team to obtain their 27 putouts for the game. Two of the extra four men singled and lived, one got on when Kelly let his grounder roll through him and the last hit grounder and forced a man at second.
 Stewart Has Flu"
 Manager Stuffy Stewart was home in bed with case of flu, which, though not serious, will keep him out of the game for three or four days. Bruce Hartford is at the bedside of a rela- tive who is dangerously i'll, and gap ing hole was left at second base. Hero Brenner, first baseman-utility man, and Charley Tooley, understudy shortstop, were thrown in the gap. Brenner played an ultra jam-up game at second ana Tn addition to handling six faultless chances made beautiful stop ana throw on one of them for his man at first.
 Charley Tooley vied with Brenner for honors by his play at short and also handled six chances errorlessly. Two throws, one to the plate and the other to third, were Tooley's big bid for recognition.

 Clout Two HOmers
 Two home runs were clouted by Mo bile batters in one inning. Williams came up first in the sixth and hit long drive down the groove. Both Ganzel and Jeanes, equally distant from the ball, started at top speed for the catch and met head-on just under the ball. Both were jared badly, while Jeanes was knocked out temporarily. Ganzel got up. hesitated for mo ment on whether to go after the ball or stay and give Jeanes what aid pos sible, but finally went after the pellet; but 1t was useless and the man had crossed the platter. The game was de- layed for eight or ten minutes while Jeanes was being brought around. Kelly came up with two down and hit drive into extreme left field. Ganzel fielded the ball at the low fence, but Jeanes and Tooley let his relay throw get by them and the runner completed the circuit.
 The Barons looked weak against the pitching of Acosta, and though Good pitched a game that was not such bad exhibition, allowing only eight hits, he was somewhat wild and walked men who scored.
