With an immense crowd to welcome them into Slagtown the Montgomery strikers ran up against jagged snag on Labor day and went off on crutches badly the worse for wear. Friendship ceased at the tap of the bell and the Barons cor ralled a pair of badly needed games be- fore the strikers had finished talking about how much money they got in the settlement down by the spring.
 The morning game resulted Birming- ham Il; Montgomery 3.
 The afternoon game resulted Birming- ham 2; Montgomery 0.
 The before dinner affair was easy pick ings for the cohorts of Vaughan and ere the preliminary skirmish was over runs were fiocking over the plate In a steady stream ana nothing could stem the tide Tom O Bren introduced young Baker, an amateur catcher, as q curtain raiser and the base running records of the Slag- town talent swelled up like toy balloon at a circus. Young Baker had never be- fore gazed on such heet-footed young sters as Tamsett, Duffy, Lynch and Hen nessey and they tore around the bags like a cat boat before a stiff wino be- fore the youthful Montgomerian could get his bearings. To add fuel to the flame Jimmy OBrien with his crippled leg in enc hand stole second base and scored
 Brandt Was Wild.
 Brandt an old Slagtowner, essayed to pitch the Barons out of the first division but he was wild as a March hare and when so did get em over the slaughter was frightful. The ball was beaten into all kinds of shapes and the real hot ones burned long paths through the grass in the outfield.
 With a heavy start the Barons began taking things easy when all of a sud- den Cowboy Clarke took a shot at the moon and whole wagon load of timber was slapped under his benders. It wGs then that Slagtown received a hair raig- ing fright. Before the flank movement could be headed off the Strikers had laid On the brush for a total of five runs and were within one tally of tying the score.
 Timber Laid On.
 Aha" said Tamsett and Lynch, I've shall take unto ourselves some ginger" and 10 and behold they did Tamsett drew pass to first and while young Baker and Brandt sl-pt he stole his way into home. Then Jimmy oBrien beat the pitcher guessing on balls and strikes and leisurely took a walk With anger in his eye MT. Lynch promptly trotted up with a big piece of timber and whacked the leather on grass cutting mission past MT. Molesworth and into the land of the daisies, While Molesy was chasing to- wards the fence Lynch was chasing to- wards home and as he landed on the rub Der for a home run the Strikers turned over on their side and there was nothing doing. Just as matter of self protection Reagan took Clarke's place on the firing line and one little binge was the best the oBrien clan could do with them in the next two innings.
