Games Today.
Little Rock at New Orleans.
Memphis at Shreveport.

With 1000 rooters in q state OF delirium
the much. abused Coal Barons gathered
unto themselves large bunch OF willows
land with grace and ease slapped the whole
load of timber under one Mr.. Hardy and
it was good night for Abner Powell. Biz
mingham II; Atlanta o.
The much touted colts from our neigh
boring burg which came in like lion
went out like lamb and in about three
shakes Of dying sleeps tail looked like
a pair Of crumpled deuces In deck or
right bowers. 1t was an awful slaughter
but 1t was up to the rejuvenated Barons
to apply the wood and they laid on the
brush according to Hoyle. The lombard
nient turned 800 knockers into enthus-
iastic fans and 1t was really shame to
take the money.
1t was beautiful game with nobody
coming near the rubber for five long in
Kings. In the next round big black cloud
hove in sight and in a moment exploded
in the heart of slagtown green. When
the whistle blowed for the fire depart
ment to put the Barons out hostilities sub
sided and it was found that all records
ir Slagtown had been smashed and Bir-
mingham had gathered in sum total of
10 big runs. Seven hits accompanied the
holocaust and wild pitching by Mr.. Hardy
did the rest.
Change In Lineup.
When the Barons lined up a big change
was observed In the line up as we'll as
the batting order. Hanley was in left
field, Lynch was on third, Jimmy O'Brien
was laid up with illness and Alloway was
in the box. This man Alloway had all
the goods desired and in the nine long
rounds he made the Georgia aspirants look
like selling platers. The best they could
do. was to nihble off three weasly hits and
the home plate was never in danger. Two
of these hits did not come in the same
inning and with, but two bases on balls
there was nothing doing.
Aside from Alloway's great work the
bright sparkling star of the. occasion, was
Hanley who appeared in left field for the
first time within ten days He speared
three difficult chances in the field causing
all rooterdOm to go into ecstacy. On top
of this he cracked out three beautiful
hits and would have gotten away with q
fourth but for lucky stab by Koehler
who was playing third. Hanley made one
error but it came on difficult chance
and did not deter in the least from his
claim to the honors as real hero of the
game.
Father Vaughan There.
Father Vaughan did a little sidestep
with the willow himself as did Billy
Smith, each getting two hits and scoring
runs each time.
The fuse was touched off at the be-
! ginning of the sixth when Vaughan led
| off with a safe rap to left center. Mat
thews advanced him on a bunt and he
scored on Billy Smiths safe slash to
left Hapley hit Texas Lacquer in left
| but as 1t looked like an out Smith did
not leave second. Hennegar then wnack-
ed one at the pitcher and reached first
on the tumble With the bases full Tam
| sett walked forcing in runner. Alloway
then popped an easy one over second but
| ]<oehler let it fall and Hanley scored.
Duffy then walked forcing in Hennegar.
| Lynch was hit by a pitched ball and
Tamsett trotted in. 1t was then that the
form of Father Vaughan appeared like
big black cloud. With his choicest blud-
geon he sent the first ball pitched on a
screaming journey to center field fence
and everybody scored Smith hit safe again
and Harry scored. That ended the
| slaughter.
In the next inning Tamsett opened up
with a three-base drive and scored on
| Alloway's sacrifice. Duffy and Lynch both
| hit safe. but Duffy was caught at the
plate and that ended the afternoons OPP
erations.
The Birmingham team leaves for Mont
gomery tomorrow where they play three

for three games and then return home
| for Fourth of July games with Nashville.
| After this they take on Montgomery for
three games and then go west
