Southern league last night that had that
same downcast feeling. Augusta lost to
Atlanta, New Orleans to Mobile and Sa-
vannah to Charleston.
Probably 300 witnessed the first game of
the league season. The attendance was
cut down by the threatening weather, but
those who did brace the chilly weather saw
one of the best games that will be played
during the season. 1t was almost toss up
as to which team would win, until the last
man out in the ninth inning.
The Montgomerys arrived in the city
Thursday night and at o'clock yesterday
emerged from the Florence hotel in spank
ing new white uniforms, with bright red
stockings and caps. In tallyho they par
AIDED the streets and reached the grounds
at 3 o'clock.
Horace Mcfarland, the official umpire,
did not arrive until after time for the game
to be called. Posner, of the Birmingham
team, and Armstrong, of the Montgomery
team, officiated until his arrival.
When the game was called, Sheehan, the
first man up, faced Mr.. Harper, who did
the twirling act for Montgomery, and
rachel the initial bag on clean single,
but was thrown out at second Mont
gomery's hit to Delehanty, the latter reach
ing first as a fielders choice. Vallendorf
went out from Harper to Outcalt retir-
ing the side
Violet was the nrst man to face Willig
and reached first on single. His success
with the stick led him to believe that he
could do equally as well with his legs, but
little Gilligan was on second with the ball
that had been thrown by LaPorte when
the willy Montgomeryan reached that bag.
Hartzell, the next man up, touched Willig
up for a. single, but met the same fate as
Violet when he attempted to steal second.
Haller and Knox made the circuit in the
second inning and the rooters went wild.
Montgomery failed to score in their half
Of Inv, a,,1 = ta ttxyfId art
In the third inning Birmingham again
got two men across the plate, and 1t looked
like walkover. Montgomery, however,
put damper on the enthusiasm by scoring
three runs In their half of the inning,
which they repeated in the fourth, putting
them in the lead.
In the fourth, fifth and sixth Birmingham
failed to score, as did also Montgomery in
the ffth and sixth.
The seventh, however, brought hope to
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1898-04-15

the hearts of the fans, for when It was
over both Sheehan and Valendorf had
crossed the plate and the score was tied.
Montgomery went out in one, two, three
order, and gave the locals a dose of the
same medicine In the eighth, which was
courteously returned to the visitors, the
playing being snappy and brilliant by both
teams.
The ninth was the battle royal, and al
though Birmingham got two men on bases
after two were out, Mr.. Knox, the next
man up, famed the wind and retired the
side.
Violet, the first man up for Montgomery,
struck out, but Hartzelle sent the ball to
center field for three bags and scored on
Locke's fiy-out to Knox. Outcalt went out
from Gilligan to Halter, retiring the side.
The following is the summary of the game:

The weather prophet predicted sunshine
for yesterday. The ball cranks of Bir-
mingham predicted that the REDS would
sack the first game from Montgomery.
The weather man saw cloudy, nasty day
and the Birmingham fans saw Heller S
aggregation of ball tossers go down in de-
feat before nine men known as the rep
resentatives on the diamond of the can
ned salmon" city, otherwise designated as
Alabamas capital.
The fans had the advantage of the
weather man, for the elements tried to
show what a miserable day could be
brought about, and each and every one OF
the Reds tried to show what a good game
they could put up. 1t was one of the
Embarrassing variety, and one hard to
lose. The score was to 6, and Mont
gomery won by punching her hits at OPP
perfume moments.
