An enormous attendance.
Thirty-two points to the good.
Getting closer and closer to the coveted
rag.

terday.
They will help some; those two little
victories.
Rain in Little Rock. The Pelicans were
not defeated.
One of Wilhelms spit balls dropped a
thousand feet.
Memphis has four pitchers, and one of
them Is Loucks.
Rain prevented two games in the Amer
lean league yesterday
Raglan and Clark will work this after
noon against Harley and Cellar
Take two more boys. just to show them
how ball is played in Alabama
Inc FDen1en at times gave the pilCneIS
great support. Wallace was good in CEN
ter.
Smith sat on the bench, but did not en-
joy his first days release from suspen-
sion.
1t was Childs' first defeat of the sea-
games.
salee had everything that man or beast
could desire. Wilhelm held them at his
mercy.
Meeks made rare stab with one hand
in the first game and robbed Wallace of
a luscious single.
Smith need not have hopes of winning
two today Birmingham is not Montgom-
cry by whole lot.
The squeeze" attempted twice, proved
failure once. 1t seldom does. Hughes
must have got the signal.
The visitors did not present "pennant
probability" appearance yesterday Fox
means a great deal to the Firemen.
On their last visit to Birmingham the
Firemen led by Hughes tied Wilhelm.
Little Eva has won. now, however.
Did you see Garvin in right? Lee will
soon rival Johnston as a utility man. He
was everywhere at the right moment.
Poor old Montgomery. Another sad de-
feat Maxwell nor Malarky could win.
What do you think of the Firms. any
how?
Montgomery was the star of the game;
1t ,tc Inc
and base stealing being distinct fea-
lures.

of Birmingham, and now official scorer at

assessed one fine, the victim being chlds.
he did unusually well. and his road was
not too rocky.
Loueks was easy for the Pirates yester-
day The final score was to o. Fisher
held them easily. There occurred many
sensational plays.
oyler is better and Smith will soon be
here. Their work will not be any great
improvement over the efforts of Garvin
and Alcock yesterday.
Before the season is over will Charlie
Frank have drawn on Shreveport Tor
Fisher. and Memphis for Liebhardt? 1t
would not surprise much.
Chicago handed the Philadelphia Amer
lean remnant chasers their third straight
defeat YESTERDAY New York Is but
eighteen points behind the leaders.
HOFFMAN is hardly Southern league ma
terial. Wallace is fearfully weak at the
stick. 1t is lamentable how Crozier and
| Winters have deteriorated at the stick.
Matthews was directly accountable for
both of the scores made by the visitors.
But in the great Joy of the double VIC
tory, such little things are easily over
looked.
Another double header victory another
defeat for the Memphii, and a defeat for
the Pelicans, will give the Barons such
lead that the pennant practically will
be cinched.
In the sixth inning of the second game
Wallace made a magnificent return to
the plate from centerfeld, and killed
Montgomery easily. Montgomery was at
tempting TO score on Gears safe hit.
Many much big scandals in the Ma
tional league The racy event at the
Polo Grounds yesterday, and the night be-
tween Manager Tenny and Umpire klem
are too much for one little twenty-1our
hours.
