tocorth’s Barons, like Caesar's army,
"came, saw and -conquered.” It was the
first three-game series since the season
began on the local Jut and the coal leav
ers took the entire bunch. The game of
Sunday was not a one-sided affair, by
any means as it was a fight to the fin
ish, with the decision going to the Bar
ons by a score of four to two. It was
Hogg against Foxen. The visiting hwri
er was found for twelve safeties, gave
five passes, hit one batter, and fanned
four. Hogg found for eight safeties, one
going for on extra rack, walked five and
fanned three.
Foxen in Rad Holes
^ Twice Foxen was in a bad hole, but
Fteadied at the right moment and pulled
out. In .the fifth, after fanning Jacob
Bnn, (lark and Robertson singled, but
Paulet and Schmidt were fanned, mak
ing it three for the hurler in the Inning.
3n the next inning, with one down. Stcca
singled and Starr walked, both stealing.
O’Dell fouled to flayer and Jacobson
Biruck out.
In the inning when Mobile made her
two runs it looked very much like the
time for the balloon ascension bad ar
rived. Stock, fust up, fouled out. Starr
"walked and O’Dell was winged. Jacobson !
tdngled to left, filling the sacks. Clark
"flew to center but there was no ad-;
rvanee. Robertson singled to right and
*?tarr crossed the pan. tying the score. 1
Paulet singled to. right hut Messenger

The Barons started the run-getting In
the first. Marcan was out from Starr to
first and Messenger wase out from short
to first.

scored on Knlsely’s single. Knisely was j
caught stealing.
In the third, another run was put over

Features of the (.ante
Mobile had fifteen men left on bases.
^Robertson's work it the bat was the
feature, he getting four single* in is
many times up. and also drawing r pass
McBride of the Barons got the only
hit w’hich went for an extra sack. He
also got a single and was at bat four
times. The only doable play of the game
came in the second inning.
McOilvray was safe on Starr’s error.
McBride grounded to Stock, forcing Mc
CHlvray to Starr, and getting doubled 10
Paulet. Stock’s wor\ at short, bariing
his one error, was *ine. he having been
credited with five asdsts and two put
cuts
Neither Jacobson at center for the lo
cals, nor McBride in left for the visi
tors, had a chance during the full nine
innings of piny. There were at least
400ft fans present and most of these were
home rooters, but it soon became almost
a general thing for the v isitors to g* t
the hand when a hit was made by one
;«f -them.
Teams Off for Birmingham
Both teams left fie city torigii^ for
Birmingham, where they open a three
game series. Thompson and Mayer will

Review of the Week In Major Circles
j -—-— _______________________________
New York. May 18.—Dast week’s play In
major league baseball circuits was fea
tured by developments of decided signifi
cance. The jump of the champion New
York from fifth to third place in the
National league standing was one of
these. Quite as notable was the reverse
of this move by the Chicago club, which
lost all five games It played.
American league changes, if less radical,
were not lacking in interest. The Phila
delphia Athletics had rather a had week
of it, while Cleveland and Washington
barely held their own. The fine showing
of the Chicago White Sox enabled Calla
han's men to work within comparatively
easily striking distance of the top. Frank
Chance and his New Yorks, while uproari
ously welcomed by Chicago “fans” were
trounced by the Chicago players, even on
“Chance Day.”
With the first intersectional clash of
the season in each league, fast drawing
to a close, the eastern teams in the Na
tional league are shown to be even
stronger than was generally thought. On
the other hand, indications furnished by
the American league intersectional fight
to date are that the preponderance or
strength in the east In this organization
is by no means as great as had been
I supposed.
Of completed games in the eastern
invasion of the National league's western
contingent the easterners have won no
less than 28 to the westerners’ 11. Up to
Saturday night the engagement of the
sections in the American league has been
practically a drawn battle. 20 games won
and 20 lost.
The battle bet.ween Philadelphia and
Brooklyn for the lead is furnishing daily
excitement for followers of the National
league fortunes. For a week or more
these clubs have been less than a game
apart, each regularly winning or losing.
The Giants have had trouble getting
their pitchers into form, but “Big Jeff''
Tesreau seems at last, to have struck
his stride. Manjuard has been a disap
pointment so far.
There are no signs of a break, in Chi
cago's consistently downward course. The
Cubs won their last game a week ag - i
Saturday. St. Louis lias not sustaine '
the hopes aroused by the team's first
week of play in the east.
Pitching feats have been features of
the week In tlie American league. Walter
Johnson's scoreless record was broken
into by St. Louis only after F>tf consecu
tive innings that had been unproductive
of tallies f«K his opponents. He regis
tered his ninth victory of the season to
day and lias yet to lose a game. Falken
berg of Cleveland. Fisher of the High
landers and Ed Walsh of Chicago are
other notables. The Red Sox pitchers
are still lagging and the last four day
have shown New York without a twirier
who could really be depended upon.
BILLIKENS EASILY

Montgomery. May 18.— By shutting
out Nashville today, 5 to 0, Montgom
ery made a clean sweep of. the series.
The game was the best of the series
and both pitchers were in good form.
Manning was rather wild, but was un
hittable in pinches. Nashville got only
one man as far as third »nd he reached
there when only one was out. Man
ning struck out the next two batters.

Johnson's Sensational Win
Detroit. May 17.—Walter Johnson won
his nintli straight victory of the season
today, when Washington defeated De
troit 2 to 1 in a thrilling struggle, before
a record crowd. Neither team scored an
earned run. Johnson grew unsteady on
several occasions but when defeat threat
ened pulled himself together and pitched
wonderful hall. Zamloch, a recruit from
Missoula, Mont., started his first major
league game and deserved a shut out.
In the third. Shanks singled to center
and advanced to second when Cobb
threw wildly. Zamloch after striking out
Ainsmith, tossed out Johnson without
allowing Shanks to advance. Moeller
singled, scoring Shanks ami then stole
second. As he was stealing third McKee
threw to leftfield and Moeller brought
home the visitors’ final run.
Cobb's daring base running produced
Detroit's only tally, the third run scored
off Johnson this season. With one out in
the seventh Cobb beat out an infield hit
and went to third when Gandlll muffed
Johnson's throw to catch Cobb at first.
As Johnson prepared to pitch to Veach,
Cobb started home and slid safely around
Ainsmith, who appeared to be waiting
with the ball for the runner. In the
eighth Johnson retired the side by toss
ing out Cobb. Score: R. H. E.

From the Angle of the Bug
By HIGH W. ROBERTS
THE Barons acquitted them*
selves handsomely after all.
They divided a series of four
with New Orleans, lost three in four
to Memphis, and three in four to
Montgomery, and then won three
straight from Mobile.
In other words, out of 1** games they
won seven, which is very good. The
most ardent fan could not have ex
pected more than an even break on
the road. The Barons got as near an
even break as they possibly could.
YVheh the bold and battle scarred,
after losing game after game, settled
down and by playing excellent base
ball, won the entire series from the
hitherto unbeatable Gulls, they carved
for themselves a neat little niche in
the hall of fame.
* * ■*
We would not assume tho role of
the ghost-head at the banquet, but
do not hesitate to prepare the fans
for a defeat. It might not come this
afternoon. And it might not come
tomorrow. But it Is bound to arrive.
Should the Gulls win the series, bo

not surprised. For baseball is a
strange proposition.
But even should the Gulls win, the
outlook nevertheless would still re
main propitious. Knisely and Mc
Donald have materially strengthened
the team, and the Barons will soon be
nestling in the tirst division. You may
study the standing and reach the
same conclusion. Three clubs are tied
for second place with a percentage
of .’do. Nashville is leading Memphis
by a single percentage point. Mem
phis is in possession of a flimsy lead
over Birmingham.

A series of victories, it might be
added, may put the Barons in posses
sion of second place. And should
something happen to cheek the Gulls
in their efforts to retrieve their
losses, first place might soon he oc
cupied.
All of these things are in the realm
of the possible. The fans need to
get together and pull hard. In com
pliment to the Barons, there should
be a large Monday afternoon attend
ance today.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MAKES REVIEW OF
SOUTHERN RACE
I
The Associated Press review of the
Southern league race, issued last night,
follows:
“With Mobile's phenominal winning
streak conclusively broken through the
agency of three defeats in a row at the
hands of Birmingham, and with Mont
gomery, by consistent playing, tied with
Atlanta for second place in the race for
the Southern association pennant, the
past week in southern baseball lias been
productive of more than ordinary interest.
“While the Birminghaih club remains
well down toward th« bottom of the per
centage column, Manager Molesworth’s
veterans seem to have struck something
like their old time' stride, and may yet
prove dangerous factors in the contest.
In today’s game against Mobile, Marean
and McBride both displayed inidseason
form.
“By shutting out Nashville today Man
ager Dobbs’ Montgomery team hurdled
Nashville and Memphis, and now stands
tied with Atlanta for second place, each
club having 18 contests in 36.
“Steady work on the part Manager 431
berfeld appears to have borne fruit in
strengthening every department of the
Chattanooga club, which seemed unable
to strike its stride earlier in the season.
After sticking to the bottom for an agon
izing period, Chattanooga has climbed
Public Less Inclined to
Trade in Old Crop
Positions
New Orleans, May 18.—Weather condi
tions will continue to be the main influ
ence in the cotton market tills week, al
though development In the July position
may be strong enough to attract some
attention, and perhaps affect the whole
list in the future market, of lute, how
ever. it has been evident that the trading
public is less Inclined to trade in the
old crop positions than is usually the case
at this time of the year, and, consequent
ly. the July option has lost much of its
Importance.
Reports from the cotton region at the
end of last week Indicated that rain is
much needed in many important sections
of the eastern licit, hut that elsewhere
ample moisture for the time being has
fallen. It is very likely that continued
rains in the central and western belts
would raise the cry of excessive precipi
tation and talk of too much rain in May
generally leads to quick advances in
prices. Nearly everywhere In Che belt
warmer weather would be welcome. Pon
ti rifted cold nights would he a strong
bullish feature which the long side could
us* to great advantage.
The great question of tin near future is
in regard to getting the crop up to a
stand. Planting was early enough, but
much seed has failed to germinate, either
because of low temperatures or of lack of
moisture in the soil or because of both 1
reasons. Anything that will further de- ]
lay germination of seed would cause the
conviction to grow that there is a late crop
over a large part of the beit, in spite of
the outlook for an early start when plant
ing first commenced.
Warm weather with very little rain in
the western and central belts and warm
weather with good rains In the eastern i
bek are the conditions most desired this
week. If they materialize the market
may have a tendency to work lower, es
pecially as it is claimed by many brokers

A Mercenary Lass
From an Exchange.
Willard D. Straight, the brilliant young
financier of Morgan & Co., was discussing
tlie American bankers’ recent withdrawal
from the Chinese loan.
“I like China." Mr. Straight said. "My
regard lor China wfH not let me consider
her from a purely selfish and commercial
viewpoint. I cannot, in this matter, put
myself in the position of the young lady
who was asked by her chum:
” 'Do you think, dear, that its better
to have loved and lost than never to have
loved at all?'
" ‘Why, of course it Is,’ the young lady
replied, ‘provided he lets you keep all his
presents.’ ”
above New Orleans and Birmingham, and
bids fair to make things interesting for
the league leaders. Neither Memphis nor
Nashville can he said to have contributed
to the fireworks of the week, both teams
playing steady, consistent baseball. In
view of the recognized ability of both
Managers Bernhard of Memphis and
Schwartz of Nashville, baseball experts
are watching these clubs closely for a
possible development of such form. With
Ideal weather and unusually good attend

fans and club owners.”
