The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-08-02

The third game of the Birmingham Montgomery series, played yesterday aft- ernoon, was won by the Barons, the final score being to O.
 There was nttle of the brilliant in the contest. and at times the play dragged fearfully. Wilhelm was on the slab for the locals. and as usual kept his bumps exceedingly well scattered. He was never in danger, and the single time that the Pretzels threatened a score, a double play retired the side with three on bases. Walsh, the Texas recruit of the Pretzel aggregation, worked for the visitors and was not as successful as Wilhelm in keep ing his hits scattered. An error by Busch and dumb work by Hausen in the sixth, materially aided in his downfall.
 Mulaney's happiness at having downed the Barons on the home grounds was al- most unbounded, and his feast of goose eggs last evening did not cause the sweet smile 10 disappear. He volunteered the Information after the game that the um- plre, Mclaughlin did as well as could be expected. and that he had no kick 10 reg ister on any account.
 Little Dumb Work.
 The first run of the locals came in the sixth inning. and was worked on the "squeeze." In this inning an error and a piece of dumb work figured materially against the visitors. Wilhelm led off with a single. Molesworth. attempting a sac rifce, was safe when the pitcher threw wild to first. and Hausen fell In the dirt Nj Lola ond Smith was called out on strikes. Montgomery attempted 10 work the Squeeze" with the result that a piece of dumb work gave him an infield hit. Will helm scored. When Montgomery hi to the iniield, Walsh, Mullaney and Hausen at tempted to handle the ball. The result was that no one covered first The Barons were unable to get another across the rubber, however Meeks flied to short and Gear went out by Busch to Mullaney.
 Fate was against Walsh. In the eighth two hits. a passed ball by MeAleese, fearful error by Busch, and the second working of the "squeeze' resulted in two runs and a cnch on the game for the Ba- rons. The inning started by Molesworth fling out to McCann Smith managed to
 
 second on d passed ball. Montgomery's lit scored him. Meeks hit to the infied and Montgomery beat the ball to second. MeeSs was safe when Busch sailed the sphere into the grandstand and both rum ners advanced bag before the ball was recovered. Gear successfully worked the squeeze and Montgomery talled.
 The Bases Filled.
 In the fifth the Pretzels rung up three hits, and filled the bases, Excellent work by Wilhelm saved the day for the locals. McAleese led off with single, and Walsh beat out q beautiful bunt placed in front of the plate. Houtz hit to Wilhelm, was safe on a helder's choice. McAleese dying hard at third. Hausen, however, fol- lowed with safety, and with only one out the bases were filled. Apperious, however made the mistake of hitting to Wilhelm, who felded the ball to Mat thws in time for the catcher to retire the runner at first. The working of this double evoked strenuous applause.
 Excepting this instance the Barons were never in danger of defeat. While there was little ginger in the game, many of the grewsome errors were cut out, rendering the contest more interest ing In the sixth the Barons got their first score. but should have gathered more. When the side was retired Molesworth was left standing on third and Mont gomery on second. Meeks went out on a pop fly to short. which chased Busch to the outfield. Had Molesworth tried he might have reached the plate. Had Meeks tired the squeeze" Molesworth might have talled. Gear, who followed. went out easily to the infield
 Garvins Work.
 On account of the inexperlence of Lee Garvin in the playing of shortstop. his excellent work was probably the feature of the game. He made one error on a stiffly batted ball, but every other one which came into his territory went dead.
