The Hurling Hun continued his winning sequence at a merry clup, when the Look outs slaughtered the offerings of Hurler Sloan for 15 safe crashes and scored eight tallies. Registering his tenth straight triumph, the Pole had the Barons com pletely at his command, for had he been accorded perfect support Moley’s crip ples would have been blanked. Endowed with as much “stuff” as ornated Salome on her premiere, the floating slants of Sloan were hammered unrelentlessly by the gory Lookouts. The Lookouts pounced upon Sloan in the opening round and rendered the youngster groggy when Elston lifted the pellet over the right field fence with Coyle on the sacks. The decision was gained in tfie second, when the Hurling Hun smote the groaning horsehide over the right field border again with Street perched upon the cushions. Possessing a wonderful amount of smoke and twists, the Biu Pole was never in danger. Although the Barons amassed six safeties off his delivery, the south paw was as tight as a drum in the pinches and would have extricated him self without a score had he been prop erly supported. Seven Barons whiffed before the mighty Pole, while the left handed swingers were handcuffed by his I hook. Barons right Crippled Palsied by the absence of McDonald and Knlseley, tho Barons presented a flimsy front to the triumphant Pole. Thompson was substituted in right gar den, while Messenger was shifted to cen ter in the place of the injured Knlseley. I Marcan gamely held his station at sec | ond despite a damaged wing, while Car roll remained at McDonald’s position on third. A fusillade of safe crashes gave the Lookouts a commanding lead in ihe open ing round. Flick singled smartly to cen ter. while Coyle repeated to left with a keen crash, sending Flick to third. El berfelrt hoisted a fly to Thompson, who attempted to double Flick at the rubber, but. his heave sailed erratically home, and Flick tallied while Coyle moved up to third. On a choice offering, Curt El ston raised the pellet over the right field fence and cleared the cushions of their animated courier. The weakened Barons registered two safe drives with two out in the first, but the Pole rallied and retired Mayer on strikes. “Gabby” Street pried open the second round with a sizzling liner to left, but died when Graff rolled to Ellam. Covaleski connected safely and clouted the groaning sphere over the right field fence for a second circuit tour. Counting in the second and third, the Barons increased the interest in the one sided struggle. With Carroll down in the second, Ellam negotiated a pass to first. Thompson slapped a bingle to center and 1311am cavorted to third. Sloan hit a grounder to Graff and Ellam tallied on his muff. Pole Raves on “Bone” The temperamental Pole raved in the third when Mayer scored after two were down. The Baron receiver hit a terrific grounder over second, but the Tobasco Kid captured the bounder and Just missed Walter at first. Carroll was passed, thus forcing Mayer to second. Ellam bound ed to Flick, who bobbled on the chance and th%n hurled to second a little late for Ellam. The close decision dissatisfied the 'Noogan inllelder, and while he dis cussed the point at issue quite vigorously with Umps Wright, Mayer sneaked home with a counter. Disgusted at the provok ing spectacle, the towering Pole w'ent into the heights wnd landed on earth by tossing his glove about the diamond. Sloan recovered from the siege of the Lookouts during the next two rounds, but the gory ’Noogans oegan the assault anew in tho fifth with two out. Elberfeld swatted a double 10 center. Elston sin gled to left, and the Kid reached home in safety when a marvelous hook slide sent him past Mayer. The Lookout gar dener reached second on the unerring peg to tho plate and tallied when Johnson continued tho rain of safeties by a wal lop to right. Checked by the wondeifful work of the Pole, the Barons rocked along without an additional marker. The Hurling Hun disposed of the cripples in the fourth. fth, seventh and eighth without a safety but Sloan rapped out a double in the POLK’S WINNING STREAK DATE— 1. R. H. 3.0. B.B. H.B. W.P. W.

The “human Hash of lightning'' is within eight thefts of the leading base steal' . and with a. well determined aim should land the trophy. Charlie Starr, of the high flying Gulls, leads the list of *he cushion purloiners with a neat collection of 30 sacks. Wares, of the Billikens, lanks second with 2J stolen bases, while Stock, the Gull short fielder, ranks third with 23. Messenger is standing fourth in the merry contest with his well developed total of 22, one sacq I ahead of Hendryx of «ne Pels. | The speedy "gardener of the Barons is having one of the best seasons in hi* career and unless stopped by the gods of fortune, should swat at a faster clip than either of his four adversaries. If Bob lands on first oftener than his op ponents, he says that he will lead the list when the count is made. Excluding the game of yesterday, Mes senger is swatting at a .300 rate after a disastrous week of willow wielding. In the Held, his record does not suffer in comparison to previous seasons, for the speed merchant has accepted the chances with a mark of .9W as his fielding record. So confident docs Peppery Robert feel that he broke into a merry grin when his photo was snapped. “Just watch my smoke." says the Hash of lightning, “and see rne cop that medal.” The honor of leading the base runners in the Southerns league has fallen to a Baron for three sucaesslve seasons and Messenger hopes to continue the good work.
