The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-08-18
BY BILL AK.

The Barons won the game yesterday afternoon, the score being: Birmingham 4, Nashville l.
 Wilhelm twirled for the Earons and did we'll. Schopp, fresh from the bushes of the Sally league, where Billy Smith of Atlanta consigned him, was the selec- tion of Mister Dobbs. The little southpaw had nothing that worried the Barons.
 There were several unusual features to the game
 In the first, third and fifth innings the following occurred:
 Molesworth, first up, was safe on first;
 Demont sacrificed him, and
 Smiths hit brought him home
 For the above programme to remain good for three successive trials, was out of the ordinary, indeed.
 But stranger still. Molesworth led of, also, in the seventh inning. But the com bination failed to work the fourth time.
 In the first ming, Moesworth was safe on Nicholls error. Demont put down a perfect sacrifice Smith hit to right, and Molesworth counted
 In the third inning Molesworth, first up, hit a juicy single to left. Demont put down his second perfect sacrifice Smith hit safe for the second time, and Molesworth brought in the second tally of the game.
 In the fifth inning, Molesworth, first up bunted safely to the infleld. Demont put down his third successive bunt Smith got his third successive hit, and Moes- worth scored the third run of the game.
 This last hit of Smiths went for three bags. The runner scored when Meek flied out to right. Wells made a perfect return to the plate, and the fact that Smith beal it out indicates the speed employed by the long Mississippian.
 Wells received nattering attention after making the brilliant return to the plate the skin of his teeth
 The star of the game was Carlos Smith.
 And this Is saying a great deal.
 Molesworth deserves great credit for his skill in getting on bases three times in succession. Demont showed marked abil- ity in sacrificing. Wilhelm deserves credit for first rate day on the slab. Latimer was full of ginger behind the bat. The inleld was fast and accurate. Garvin did remarkably well In left, and stung the ball unusually hard.
 However. Smith was the man with the brilliance. He was the star.
 He got three hits out of four trials.
 He scored one run.
 He stole two bases, one of them being the third pillow.
 He put out four of the visitors, two of the chances being exceptionally diff ficult.
 It looked a little cloudy in the first inning.
 Wells got off with an inf1eld hit and Wiseman was safe when Wilhelm dropped Meek's throw to first. The chance was a difficult one.
 With two on bases and none out Wilhelm settled down to the task be- fore him.
 Dobbs famed.
 Lister famed.
 In this way, the Baron twirler dis posed of the heaviest hitters of the Nashville team.
 McElveen retired the side on a fy-out to Garvin.
 The visitors got a man about the paths in the sixth inning.
 After two had gone down, Dobbs singled to center. and scored on triple off the bat of Peter Lister.
 The game was faster than the one of the day before. and great deal more interesting.
 bers, and there was deal of enthusi- asw. It sounded like old times to hear the fans hollering like the dickens, and hollering for the Barons too. Tn was no discordant sound. One man, even, encouraged Harry Vaughn. Every body was in good humor. Even the defeated Nashville bunch grumbled not.
