The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-07-07


 A heavy rain in the second inning saved New Orleans from a bad drubbing yes terday as the Iron Makers had already jnmped on Adams and were pounding him all over the lot. When the game was called in the first half of the second in- ming the score stood Birmingham 8; New Orleans 1.
 Before the third man was put out on the New Orleans side rain began falling and the crowd on the bleachers made a run for the covered smoker. This tenn porarily broke up the game and before Umpire sorber could get things started again the rain came down in torrents. At the end of the necessary half hour II was still pouring down and sad bedrag- gled lot of fans wer forced to begin their downward journey
 Rain Checks Good Today.
 Rain checks were issued by the man agement and these will be good for the New Orleans series only. In other words per sons holding rain checks will have to see one or the other of the next two games or lose the value of the check The game today will begin at o'clock and r. is probable that the greater portion of the rain tickets will be used as Birming- ham was putting up a swift lot of bat ting when the water broke things up yes terday
 In the first inning for New Orleans Brouthers knocked a fabby looking fly Into right field which fell safe and before 1t could be fielded the swift Pelican was perched on third bag Montgomery whacked out a nice single and scored him. The visitors could do nothing more and the Iron Makers took a hand
 Birmingham Uses the Willow.
 Duffy came up first with a long fly into right field which netted just three bags and Jimmy OBrien trotted home on a two base drive to center. Vaughan sacri- feed and Jimmy went to third Brown then cracked a sharp one at Brouthers and before he could get 1t to the catcher Jimmy had scored. Lawler hit a grounder to Delehanty at second but thinking two men were out he threw the ball to first instead of second. Harry Woods follow ed with a nice safe single over third and Brown came home Millar went out and Birmingham's career was ended.
 In the next inning New Orleans had man on second and one on third with two out when the rain regan falling.
