The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-07-22

II. but nothing definite has been done. It may be that Lynch will be in the game for Birmingham within few days
 A number of new faces appeared on the Shreveport team yesterday, but the new boys didn5t look any better to local fans than the old ones. In fact, Gilks says his team is badly crippled besides having played with luck against him. He lost Holly, his second baseman, and Weikart Is sick In bed. He had a couple of young sters in the game yesterday, but they did nothing spectacular.
 Bobby Gilks is probably.tne most pop ular visiting manager that comes to Bir- mingham. He is against the kickers and IS a man of broad views in baseball as well as elsewhere. He has most certainly had a streak of hard luck, and while Bir- mingham wants the games the rooters hate to see a fall taken out of Shreveport.
 'I am very much pleased with young Pylant" said Manager Vaughan last night, and he should have won his game against Memphis. An unlucky tumble Of a bunt probably kept him from winning his game In the ninth The fans at Mem phis who started in to jeer the youngster changed their minds and he was given the RlaQ nanu on every Siue. TIC iS SOuhb in the business and wants to learn and believe he will make us good man. He not only pitches we'll but is a good hitter. If he shows up as we'll in other games as he did against Memphis I believe the baseball public will like him.
 Jimmy OBrien has a severe boil on his right leg near the knee which is caus- ing him considerable trouble. He will have 1t lanced this morning and hopes to be able to get back in the game in a day or two. It Is giving him much pain and has stiffened the muscles in that part of his leg.
 Hollingsworth showed up we'll at short yesterday and though he did not set the town afre with the stick he did some brilliant work at short. He Is quick as lightning and throws like a shot.
 Tamsett Is doing some great work on third just now and 1t Is the opinion of many fans that he is even faster there than at short. There is no questioning the fact that Tamsett is a brilliant in- fielder and he has been hitting good in the last few games.
 The players were all glad to get back
 
 peared in citizens clothes the were loudly cheered by the spectators. They had hard trip from Little Rock, but went in to give the best they had in the shop and did
 Matthews and Vaughan did the heavy hitting yesterday though Duffy and Billy Smith both got in with a good hard drive each By the way Billy Smith has been IaIl IA trt. fg h{ rr and fielding are both up to the notch.
 Bartley of Shreveport got robbed of a good clean hit yesterday for failing to touch base on a drive to center field. While he hit clean for two bags he can not be given hit in the score as he was called out for failure to touch first base
 Manager Gilks and Manager Vaughan may arrange for a morning game on Sat- urday as Shreveport has a postponed game with Birmingham. I his would give the soldiers good chance to see full game that day as some of them might be kept away in the afternoon. It has not been announced definitely that this game will be played but the management says it is probable
 Umpire Mullane said yesterday that if the foul line had been straight Vaughan would have gotten a two bagger in addi- ton to what he already had. He laced a long drive down the left foul line which looked to the grandstand as If 1t hit the chalk line. Mullane called 1t foul and says that 1t would have been fair but the chalk line was little crooked about where the ball hit. As we won nobody kicked on the decision. but 1t did look little bad.
