GLADYS MODESTLY DESCRIBES THE HIT Thinks Breitenstein Lost Head
 in the Ninth THREW BALL TOO STRAIGH I Believes He Did Not Strike Out, But Is Not Sure About Decision
 On the Alleged
 Foul.
THREW BALL TOO STRAIGH I

"Breitenstein, in my opinion" said Charlton Molesworth last evening, in dis cussing the terrific drive that he hit to center, which broke up the first game against the Pretzels, made a serious mis- take With two strikes, and three balls on me, he threw the sphere that I hit straight as an arrow, and about waist high. I simply had to lay up against it. The pitcher should have thrown a curved ball, or a slow one, by all means, and taken chance of giving me d base. l suppose, however, that he figured it that only one man would score, even if l got a safe hit. He evidently figured that two runs were needed, and took chance of allowing me bingle, and one score. The ball, as I have said, came straight. and just waist high. l do not deserve much credit for hitting it.
 "A player is in a terrible fix when the game depends on how he handles himself at the stick. There is no luck about it. have heard people say that a safe swat which wins the game Is all luck. It is simply nerve, careful work, and fine dis crmination that d man uses when he wins a game on the last chance. Breten- stein, in my opinion, lost his head to- wards the end of the game. He certainly did not display iS.od Judgment"
 It is remembered that when the Pretzel3 were last in Birmingham, Molesworth broke up one of the games in the ninth with terrific swat. Molesworth having been an old Montgomery player, takes delight in beating his old team mates. He was always popular in Montgomery, and right now bears brighter reputation for baseball ability than ever before. His description of the ball that he laid up against it's delivery, and how he felt at that critical moment Is interesting in- deed. What he says is delivered with all modesty.
 When asked if he thinks the first ball that he hit was foul. the fielder says: "It is hard to tell. I continued running be- cause I saw the dried lime fly up in left field. l may have been mistaken. and right now, knowing how 1t all terminated, am glad that Rudderham so decided.'
 Molesworth says that the umpire made no bad decision on balls and strikes when he was up the last time. That close ball." says he, was several Inches on the inside. l was not struck out.''

BILLY SMITH IS GLOOMY
 CLOUDS THICK IN RANDOM

There is a certain depression In At lanta, since the recent victory of the Barons. Barber Joe' is complaining seriously, and the fans are all to the bad. Birmingham fans, who have recently re- turned from the Gate City, say that the fanatics of that burg. even though the papers will not, are touting Birmingham to win the pennant. or to tie up with Montgomery for honors. The fans, these Birmingham people say, think that At lanta, Shreveport and New Orleans will have to fight it out for third place.
 Monte Semon, the well known Bir- mngham fan, returned from Atlanta yes terday afternoon. He states that the fans are crushed. and that they declare "our team Is all broken up." They re- ceived the jibes and taunts of the Bir- mingham visitors with placid indifference, showing that their last hope was gone.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-07-03

MT. Semon states that while at tho Aragon, he saw Manager Billy Smith. T greeted him quietly" says MT. Semon, and I declare that there was not a smile at the corner of my lips. Finally I asked the saddened fellow: Well, Billy. what do you think of the Barons now? Smiths eyes dropped to the floor. He sighed heavily. Turning away hurriedly, the manager asked for the key to his room. and departed. If his heart was not broken, then I have never seen the signs of a crushed organ in my experience. All Atlanta is gloomy. You remember that just before the Barons visited Atlanta, and defeated the Bremen, the Pretzes turned the same trick. These two de- feats on home ground was too much for the Boosters, and they are all in today. They will undoubtedly come to the front again, but they are out calling right now"

ALL ABOUT IT.

A hard game yesterday.
 Molesworth and his new stick!
 Matthews hit was all unexpected.
 No game will be played in Birmingham today.
 Billy Smith is wearing a sad smile, it Is said.
 It rained some in the Southern league yesterday.
 Mullaney was sick before the game. but played it out
 Atlanta and Birmingham-the backbone of the league.
 Only twelve points behind New Orleans, and coming fast.
 It took 1t long time to come, but when 1t did arrive!
 The four tailenders of the National league won yesterday.
 Two such games has Molesworth won against his old team mates
 Breitenstein regretted last evening that he had thrown that last ball.
 After the Rag" was the glad refrain. This caused the Barons to win.
 The fans were a little sore on Rudder- ham, but he was probably correct. Had there been no fence in center field, that last ball would be going yet. 
 How that Birmingham is coming" cry the Pirates and the Pelicans, in unison. Heat caused the ending of a game be- tween Boston and Washington yesterday.
 Little Rock had Shreveport going, and the score stood to ? in the fourth in ming.
 There is no telling whether the first ball that Molesworth hit was fair or foul
 That Garrison finish will cause every body to long remember the game of yes- terday.
 Everybody got ready to go to town, when Molesworth said, just wait moment"
 Only one game is scheduled tomorrow, but those rained out yesterday will prob- ably be played.
 Every southern paper is now discussing Birmingham. The Barons have arisen in a night, as it were.
 The squeeze was again worked success fully yesterday. Gear was at the stick, and Smith brought in the tally.
 Brooklyn defeated New York yesterday with all ease. The former champions used three twirlers to no avail.
 Cleveland, New York and Philadelphia are making a great effort to attain the leadership of the American league.
 The Barons never lose until the third man Is put out in the ninth It will do well for Mullaney to remember this.
 Bretensten did exceptionally well yes- terday, but it looked as if he lost his head towards the rear end of the game
 Ginger aided in winning his game He scored the run, in fact, that pro- claimed the battle 8 victory for the locals.
 Montgomery was in uniform at the park. Whether or not to substitute Roy for Alcock is the pre-eminent question of this club
 Bates of Boston hit for home run in the ninth, and caused Boston to win from Philadelphia by the narrow margin of one run. Molesworth was not alone In break ing up games yesterday
 Matthews threw to second, and another man scored. This has worked badly sew eral time this season. In the first place. 1t requires perfect throw, and un- usually rapid one. If there is the varia- tion of an inch, it is a failure. It Is hardly worth the risk. It is remembered that play of this nature lost one of the

Games Today.
Little Rock at Shreveport.


 A light breaking in the east at the stilly hour of midnight; the trees failing to take on their dress of leaves in the spring; a polar bear parading the streets of Birmingham in midsummer; nothing could cause more surprise to the populaee of this hustling burg than the victory of yesterday which came just as the ninth was adding itself to the past
 The hair raising stories of saved from the death, when all hope was abandoned' the perpetratlons in which "Dare Devil Dick" has figured so Justify; the gory narratives that have for years fioated from the wild and woody vest all of these are as nothing. The people of this burg have seen more wonderful sights. They have seen ball game won, after all hope had subsided they have seen a safe hit made when all depended on that bingle; they have seen the gaunt figure of fail ure after establishing itself,' fade away before tho shining brow of victory.
 Yesterdays game with the Pretzels, the first of the present series, was won in the ninth inning by the narrow mar gin of three to two. With the score standing bi41against them, the Barons came to bat. The first two up, went down again. Matthews hit safe to right, and took second on Schwartz error Gin ger' Clark was given a pass It was. therefore, up to "Gladys' Molesworth. The heavy centerfielder was there with the goods, and with all the spectators standing on their feet, preparing to leave al xut hnNprinR smashed the sphere across the nose to the fence bordering left center. Matthews and Clark scored. This Is how the game was won.
 Beautiful Struggle.
 The first game between the strong teams representing Birmingham and Montgom cry was q beautiful contest, one for which both sides fought manfuly. and one in which all the cleverness and cunning of each was put into full play. Ginger Clark was on the firing line for the locals, and throughout the contest, the twirler held his own. piece of bad judgment on the part of Harry Matthews, and an error charged to the same player, were accountable for the runs that the Pretzes made.
 An error by McCann in the sixth inning, allowed the bases to be filled. and brought the "squeeze" into working distance; and an error in the ninth by Schwatz gave Matthews life at second, from which he eventually scored. The pitchers did splendid work, and with the exception of these miscues. the support of each was brilliant.
 A tremendous audience greeted the two teams, welcoming the Barons on their return from a highly successful trip to Atlanta and greeting the plucky Pret- gels for the simple reason that they can play baseball. This huge bunch of peo- ple made up a typical Birmingham base ball audience, and from the time that Houtz first approached the willow, until Molesworths swat in the ninth gave the locals a splendid victory, enthusiasm was at it's height. The fans applauded the Barons throughout the dark and dreary periods, and then congratulated them selves in the ninth when victory was served The fans cheered Montgomery too, when an occasional spectacular play presented itself, or when the Barons were

MORE CASH IN ATLANTA
 THAN ON WESTERN TRIP

The bloody scalps that the Barons
 brought back from Atlanta, typifying that the Boosters were downed in two
 of three contests, were not the only good things that Manager Vaughn laid at the feet of the local management on return ing. There were good silver dollars in his jeans and good gold, of luscious jingle, and even a few scraps of Uncle Sam's paper, bearing various figures. In other words, the trip to Atlanta, in addition to being a highly successful one, was also one from which money was made. Manager vaughns story concerning this matter is quite different from the woeful tale that he unloaded when the return from the west was made. After that trip, Vaughn declared that no money was made, and that he barely gleaned the guarantee. He announces that more money came during the stay in Atlanta. or which three games were played, than

 This is another point in favor of the contentious of the eastern cities, to the effect that Atlanta and Birmingham, and not Atlanta, Birmingham and New Orr leans make up the backbone of this league. The attendance in either of these two eastern cities will be In advance of that of any other city of the league, in- cluding New Orleans, where more trans ferred games are played and where Sum day baseball is supreme. This fact goes to prove, too, that the eastern cities should be given much, if not more. considera- ton than New Orleans.
