EASTERNERS LOOM LARGE
IN RACE FOR PENNANT
Wsll, well! watch old Birmingham climb.
From nowhsra at all to second place In
no time at all. Pretty fine sailing.
President Joyner, of the local clnb, aald
Friday, "I'm not afraid of New Orleans
at all and Hhreveport does not worry me
so much. But that Birmingham team!
It la certainly aimed for tbe top."
Just bow It baa happened la hard to
•ay. Birmingham bad Just such a winning
•treak as this once before this year, but
It did not last, and when the bunch quit
trotting and went Into a break it was all
orer foj? a month or ao. In fact, for awhile
It looked as though Driver Vaughan were
never going to get the aggregation back
on its pins.
The other time that Birmingham was
going at such an awful clip the prediction
was ventured that the Barons were playing
a little "better than they knew how." This
statement waa proved correct when the
Barons went to pieces In such sad style
and stamped to nowhere.
Whether they are only hitting It In the
high placet or whether the‘team has really
rounded oat Into a flfit division aggrega
tion Is hard to tell, for It has been some
little time since the * Barons were here.
And when they were here laat they cer
tainly did not show pennant winning form.
Shreveport la holding the lead lu the
Southern League by a very narrow margin
and the Gtlkers will have to hustle If the?
hope to hold It Birmingham Is only ,c«»3
from the lead and New Orleans Is just .OU
from It
If Atlanta can do as well, or nearly ss
well, against the Western teams during
the coming stay at home as she did the Inst
time the Westerners were hero tbe Crack-
era will go right to the to£. And the
chances seem to !>e pretty good. The bunch
la certainly lu good condition, now. per-
haps better thnn ever before this season,
and with good luck the ending of the com
ing stay at home should see the Crackers
pretty close to the top. Probably the fight
will be between Birmingham and Atlanta
for first place at the end of the Westers
invasion—though this business of loug range
predicting is a rather dubious one.
Th^ fonr teams In the second division
keep about the same distance apart nod the
affair down at that end of tbe line Is
something of a procession.
