The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-06-26

The Baron and the Pretzel, seated be- fore a pie of double portion, put down nll greedy inclinations yesterday, each being determined that the other should have his share.
 Manager Malarky helped himself first taking four plums. and leaving Harry Vaughn a couple In the next helping Harry took the major portion, all six plums, eleaving poor John nothing but the pastry.
 This afternoon there will be another pie served, two sittings, the double-header t0 start promptly at 2:3O o'clock Malarky, himself, will pitch the first game for the visitors, while the second will be twirled by Bert Maxwell who like the little girl with the soliatry ringlet is very good, in- deed when he is not bad Manager Vaughn will use Ragan and Turner two lads who can win if they are in good condition.
 The games promise to be more enter tainlng than those of yesterday. In the first yesterday Ginger Clark was hit freely. and was given poor support, the game being filled with dumb plays, and much listlessness A decision of Umpire Zimmer put an end to the only oppor- tunity that the locals had to win.

Walsh attempted to do the Lieb- bardt act of winning a double-header. and scored an immense failure, having fha the box before the third inning had gone into history. Weems, who succeeded, did well, but the support of the Pretzels was rank indeed. Wilhelm was in excellent form, and laughed his way to an easy victory. serving up as neat dish of goose eggs as one might see in a days jour ney around the farm.
 That First Clash.
 The fans were a little sore, and did not warm up immediately. Indeed there was a reign of such suggestive silence that the ntmosphere was charged with ominous lntimations. This stiffness continued when the Barons waxed warm with dumbness, and gave place only to disgust when Umpire Zimmer tore his shirt before the spectators. The rain that fell in Birming- ham kept the crowd scared to death, and the fans seated about the field were only

 Montgomery crimped the local enthu- siai,l in the second however. There were two hits. d base on balls a stolen base and a cleverly executed squeeze. out of it all the Pretzels scored twice. In the third the Pretzels scored on Clark < wildness and an error by Catcher GafNlh' Houtz was walked. Henline was walked. Both were sacrificed.
