The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-07-09


 When Fred Moore placed that hit over third in the ninth inning yesterday after
 noon. he covered multitude of past er- TOTS and himself with glory. He stilled the anvil chorus he awakened sometime ago,
 and is for the present at least the en-
 tire bouquet.
 The score: Birmingham, 4, Atlanta g.
 The finish was almost equal to the one in the afternoon game on the Fourth of July.
 only the crowd was not as large nor the
 roofing as strong. However, the result
 was different and a lucky combination
 sent two runs across the plate and the
 game was over.
 The Bremen started off with rush and a bang, and the first two men up, Rickert
 and Winters, doubled, and the former
 scored. It looked bad with no one out and
 man on second, with Crozier, Stafford
 and Jordan up,. but Ragan settled down.
 took hitch in his salary arm and the
 next three men were easy outs. Things Looked Bad. The sky became a little cloudy in the second when Schap dropped a fly from Morses bat after a beautiful run into right field McCay dumped the necessary
 sacrifice and Archer sent a screaming single to left field, Morse crossing the
 plate easily. Archer made the mistake of trying to stretch it into double and
 was thrown out at second by Delehanty. The Barons then rallied and tied the score. McCay let a hot grounder from Delehanty's bat get away from him, and
 Father Vaughan set the correct example by singling to left. Delehanty went to second, and both were advanced base by Matthews sacrifice. Schiap singled and
 Delehanty scored, but Vaughan was held
 at the third sack. Moore loosened up for
 single and Vaughan scored, while Schiap
 went to third and Moore to second on the l throws around the diamond. Ragan hit grounder to McCay and Schiap was thrown out at the plate. He would prob ably have been safe had he slid, instead of running straight. Moore went to third on the play. Hafford hit liner over McCay's l head, but the third baseman managed to
 throw up his hands and stop the ball. l I1afford, thinking he had single easily | loafed to first but Morse was too quick 1 for him. Whitey went back of the bag, | gathered in the ball as it fell to the ground. and threw Hafford out at first l Two bad pieces of base running prevented two more scores
 Great Finish.
 | Things rocked along with an even break | score two and two. until Atlanta came in 1 for the last time. The sky darkened again and the Slagpile rumbled. Stafford sin ] gled and a moment later Jordan smashed I one to center for two bags. Dusty Miller | fielded the ball. fired it to second and | big Bob Stafford, who was dashing for home like a big Mogu was caught at l the plate. Then the bleachers and grand | stand rose up and did thinges. But Whit l ey Morse stopped the hilarity with a | triple. scoring Jordan. Score Atlanta B. | Birmingham 2.
 | Delehanty for Birmingham, the first up, | hit to left and rested at second. Vaughan | dumped the ball in a nice place and Del rambled to third, Dad going out at first Matty walked on four bad ones. Schap | bpnted down the third line and Del raced for home. Jackson got the ball and shot 1t to Archer like minnie ball Ar cher missed it, Delehanty scored "and Schiap was safe at second, and Matty a.
 huggin' third" Then Fred Moore picked out a willow, spat upon his hands, laid game, and Atlanta was sadder and wiser. Del and Matty, two Ffrecrackers, had made the winning runs.
 Delehanty hurt his left shoulder in sliding to the plated in the last inning and may be out of the game for several days to come. With Smith and Del both out the team goes away badly crippled on its long swing out west.
