The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-09-12

Memphis, September 11-(Special)- Landing on the dunghill of their most hated foe the Coal Barons jumped on to brief period frailed the ball near and afar. Three runs resulted from the first broadside and thousand Memphis fans were sore to the quick.
 With this good lead in front of their faces the hefty Iron Makers, however hit the toboggan with a good hard slump and ere the end had come the Frank furters were off to their hay with an- other we'll earned game sewed up and a fighting chance for the pennant.
 Out of her abundant chances Birming- ham should have made at least seven runs but after the fourth inning every thing broke for the bad and when run ners were on the bags pop up fouls and infield pops put the game on the bum and served as sauce for the Tennessee rooters.
 o'Brienites Unpopular.
 The minute OBrien and his cohorts touched Memphis soil they put their feet into cluster of red hot coals and every
 
 America up to the populist beard showed it at them good and strong. Even after the boys In blue had put up a good clean game and gave them a run for their money the younger tribe of rooters fol- lowed the Birmingham bus, jeerng and hooting at the players and throwing out some good hot epithets concerning the much talked of lay down to Little Rock. They followed up their argument with the tops off pop bottles and small stones and the Coal Barons had to beat their way homeward on a side street.
 The Birmingham players were sore enough over their luck at Little Rock. and when Memphis rubbed in the dose by giving them a beating on the diamond and then making them dodge varlegated missiles the limit of misery had been reached. The boys say they will give the erstwhile leaders trimming tomorrow If it takes every muscle in their bodies-in other words, they are dead sore.
 Duffy Starts the Game.
 Duffy started off the game by smashing the first ball thrown on top of the red elm bluff for three bags. This fall out of the mighty Breitenstein was a heart-breaker and McAndrews made it worse by crack ing the next one through Werden with the speed of a bullet Duffy scored and McAndrews was safe Vaughan came up and hit a foul which Fritz pulled down after long run. Brown then walked and Milerick hit to the pitcher, but he threw wild to second and McAndrews scored. Lawler struck out and Kanzler flied out to left.
 In the next inning Birmingham again had the bases full with no one out, but ha hact guire, who was first up, hit beautiful single and Campbell put him down on bunt. An error of Lynch made both men safe. Duffy then walked, filling up the bags. McAndrews flied out to short, and 1t was up to, Harry Vaughan. He laced out vicious drive to right field which Dungan managed to slap down but could not hold. Thinking 1t an out the men stuck to the bags and after the ball dropped only one man could score. Brown then popped up a foul and Millerick flied out to Dungan. leaving three men an- chored hard and tight. After that Bir- mingham men got on the bases but lucky stabs by the Frankfurters kept them from scoring. At one time Kanzler was playing off third and Werden threw to catch him, but Lynch missed the ball and Kanzler started home. Lynch de- liberately stopped him and he was
 
 Barons raised an awful howl over the interference, but Umpire Leidy would not stand for 1t and this run did not count
 Memphis Starts Fireworks.
 Memphis started her fireworks in the fourth inning when after two were out a base on balls, single and two base hit and Atz's long ripple showed three men across the plate, practically break ing up the game. Sam Brown dropped a fly and let runner score in the sixth. while a hot drive through McAndrews permitted another Memphian to rubber in the seventh.
