LAR0QUE MADE HOME RUN

1t was a shut-out-thats all-nothing
more. Admission was never in the race.
and from the drop of the flag, when I'm
pire Bulger failed to announce the bat
teries, until Jones struck out, only one
man from the visiting crowd reached
third base. That player was Stewart.
Poor fellow; his was hard luck story.
Allowed to make second on fielder
choice, he stole third, but nevermore. He
was there when the game ended.
Smith pitched the first six innings and
did all that was expected. He struck out
five men and allowed only three hits.
One of this number was made In the
fourth and two in the fifth. In the frs'
inning four men were at bat for Annis-
ton; the team sent up three the next
inning; four the next two, and three eacn
the next three, with four the last of the
game. Only in the second and the sew
enth did Birmingham only send three
men to bat
Soucks was in the box for the visitors
He gave five free passes and allowed
eleven hits-one a double. one triple
and one a home run. McKenna for BIZ
ingham pitched the last three innings OF
the game. He allowed no hits, gave no
free passes and struck out four. He had
speed and control, and made himself good
in the hearts of the fans.
Change In the Field.
Taylor was moved to center field and
Sorber placed in left, with O'Hair In
ba made in
the lineup. Halter assisted in the catch
ing, taking the place of Brown In the
latter part of the sixth.
The team displayed excellent form
from the beginning Daddy" LaRoque
knocked a home run over into the corner
of right field which brought any amount
of applause from the spectators. This
popular old player is always in form and
never plays anything but a strong, con-
sistent game
Sorrell went to the bat for Admission
and hit a fly to Moss. Stewart knocked
one to right. Ward went to first on a
wild pitch, but Jones struck out. For
Birm ingham Taylor drew free pass but

LaRoque went out from Steele to first.
Only Three UP.
In the second Steele was thrown out al
first by Warren. Carter batted a fly tc
Wilhelm, and Soucks went out from
catcher to LaRoque. Birmingham wen
down in one, two. three order, and Annis
ton did the same thing. In the third
