The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-06-27

Baseball teams that can play ball as Birmingham did yesterday do not deserve the title of tail-enders and if the Coal Barons keep up the gait set against At lanta they will continue to get tine glad hand and large crowds. For ten long innings they had the fussy Pretzels guessing and though Pnbst and his fol- lowers outhit them, they could not bunch their raps until the sixth and eighth innings, when a wild throw and mix-up on third bag put the ball out of Dele hantys sight and Winters ran in with the run which gave Atlanta the iead.
 A little further on Sox Sorber, the prodigal son, who has just returned from Sylacauga smashed out a two-base hit and scored on Delehanty's smash down third base line.
 In the tenth Atlanta put the mighty Henley in the box and the Coal Barons were unable to shove a man past second. Pabst saw the reflection of four straight
 losses staring him in the face. and when he waltzed up with the stick bee told him that something had to be doing. Se- lecting a nice one of Beavers best he smashed it into deep center field, where 1t rolled away from Uhler and hid in the tall grass next to the fence. According to late reports Uhler is still looking for the ball
 To make a long story short, Atlanta won by a score of to B. and when Pabst brought in the run that got the money there was nobody out.
 Lawier Did Great Work.
 The magnificent playing of Lawler at | short and the good. steady work of Dowie
 at second were the features of the game. Lawler got them in every direction and showed an ability to recover and throw as quick as the mightiest in the league Joe Dowie played a good, hard, consist ent game and accepted every chance coming his way without an error.
 Delehanty keeps up his remarkable work with the stick and yesterday landed on the ball for a three-bagger and a scratch single He made two of the scores and played an errorless fielding game at third.
 Billy Smith was not up to his usual standard in left field The fierce rays of the sun were too much for him and not a fly did he catch. He is accredited with
 one error and this was questionable on
 account of the sunfield. Somehow Billy
 Is not playing in his old form and seems to be discouraged about something. He should not allow a little thing like losing thirteen straight games to worry him. Birmingham scored in the first inning | Delehanty worked Wilson for free pas- | sage to first and Uher sacrificed him 1 to second. On Leidy's error fin center Delehanty went to third and scored on a l long fly to center by Lawler. Delehanty
 scored again in the third when he dro, e the ball into the high grass for three | bags. Lawer followed with a single and
 the second run was chalked up. In the sixth the Coal Barons again registered. Two in the Sixth.
 After Lauzon had grounded out Jawier walked to first and went to third on Dowie's line drive to enter field Sorber bunted. and Pahst who was playing I'D, threw .Lawlcr out at the pIate Billie Smith then cracked out a smo;iing single and Dowie scored, Sorher going to third.
 Billie Smith then stole second, and on Lat nCr ; attempt to play foxy on a l short throw to second Sorber scored
 In the last half of this same inning Atlmr;a- began her uphill work Pabst | singled and scored on Taylor's two-bag- i ger to left Winters hit to Billie Smith. l who allowed the ball to hit him ard Tay-
 Tor was thrown out at the plate attempt- l ing to score. Latimer singled Winters
 going to third Stouch hit a long fly to center field and Winters scored on the 1 throw in. Latmer had failed to return to first base and he was called out In the next inning Atlanta repeated the operation and went in to win. Kruc
 hit safe to left and Pabst flied out to Sorber, who had been switched into left field, Taylor singled and both scored on Winters twc-bagger into deep right cen l ter. Uhler thraM the ball a little wild
