Bears slip after new shorts in Southern Association
The Mobile Bears, once at a .621 winning percentage with their new short pants, have fallen from second to fifth after losing 11 of 18 games. They sometimes wear longies, decide by vote in the clubhouse, and the shorts are popular with Breadherries. Rainouts hit most teams except New Orleans and Nashville, where Pelicans beat Nashville and Vernon Law pitched well for New Orleans. Cart Sawatski of the Vols homered with two outs in the second but Nashville still lost.
