 Campbell pitched an excellent game. Three long singles were made off him in the initial inning, but bad base running cost two runs and prevented a score.
 The work of Smith at third for Birming- ham was a feature of the game. He hand led bunts, hard hits and wild throws in magnificent manner His fielding prevent ed the Pirates from scoring several times. Millar also put up an excellent game.

 They are in excellent condition with the exception of Third Baseman O OBrien, who is compelled to use a cane to get about. With him back In the game and Smith in condition to take his regular turn in the box, the Alabamians should make it interesting for any team.
