Breitenstein "Found."

1t was only in the first, fourth and
sixth innings that the Barons were able
to puneture the gilt-edge delivery OF
Theodore Breitenstein.
Wordsworth, first up for the Barons,
smashed the first ball that the Pelcah
twirler threw across the rubber. smith
placed a beautiful sacrifice, but Moles-
worth, having gained poor start was
downed at the keystone Montgomery MT
to third, and was safe on nelder cholcs'
Smith diving at second from Brouthers.
Montgomery instantly stole second put
Meelss could not hit the ball further than
the pitchers box.
In the fourth, with two out, Meeks hit
to right center for two bags, but Gear
retired the side on a grounder to nrst.
The third and last hit was scored In the
sixth inning, when, with two down, Smith
bingled to right. Montgomery famed
however, and the last chance to score
was gone.
The visitors put up brilliant fielding
game. In the eighth inning occurred one
of the neatest and quickest bits of fast
fielding ever seen in Birmingham. Wal
ters stung one to O'Brien, who booted it..
The ball was driven in the direction OF
second however, and fell into the out
stretched arms of Cargo, who was play
ing close. In the meantime Breitenstein,
running several feet in advance of Wal
ters. touched the bag In time to catch
the ball thrown by the second baseman.
The play was so quick that 1t could not
be analized and understood until after
Walters was returning to the players
bench.
The Barons' Work.
With the exception of the first inning,
in which Gear made an error and Sallee
was touched up in a lively manner. the
Pelicans had no show whatever. In the
second the one, two, three order prevailed
and was duplicated in the fourth, NTH,
sixth seventh, eighth and ninth. In the
third, a base on balls issued to Cargo and
a bunt of Brouthers causing all hands
to be safe. threatened to repeat the dose
administered in the first inning. How
ever, a lucky catch by Meeks of an at
tempted bunt, and a double resulting,
brought back the sunshine. In the fifth
inning, with two down, Cargo Texas
leagued" to right but his attempt to go
to second when the ball was trfle boot
ed resulted in him being nailed, Smith
