The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-06-02

None scheduled.
 The stormiest game pulled off at West End this season occurred yesterday when the Barons first met the Pelicans from New Orleans The result of the game was a tie, the Barons having made five runs and the Peicans an equal number Just as the ninth was drawing to close the rain came. Umpire Pfenninger did mot hesitate to call a game in which he had been mistreated, hammered by blow and palted with abuse from beginning to end.
 In the eight inning Pitcher Phillips and Third Baseman Beecher made an assault oh Umpire Pfenninger, and were escorted from the field by officers. These Pelicans contended that Demont planned to get hit i and that he should not, on that account, be given his base. Pfenninger saw diff ferently, however, and because he did, the Pelicans became enraged. The arm or the law descended as a result, and the two disgruntled were jerked from the park to the outside.
 Thereafter a change was made in the Pelican lineup. Matthews was sent to third, Stratton relieving him behind the bat. Before resuming play, Matthews and Fritz, who succeeded Phillip, delayed the game Intentionally, and on the situation put the aspect of farce Umpire Pfen- nlnger did not act In spite of the fact that these men were purposely flying the red flag before his eyes. The fans leaped to their feet and roundly hissed the entire gang.
 The Last Chance.
 In the second inning the Pelicans piled up four runs. Sabrie was first up and went safe when Alcock made his error. He was sacrificed. Atz was walked and Manuel doubled to right. Matthews hit to Gardner and the leftfielder dropped the ball. Phillips, following, connected safely to right. The side was finally retired, but not until the quartette of runs had been made.
 The Barons, thereupon, started mar vellous uphill game. which they should have won easily. They first crossed the pan in the third, when Demont, who had singled and gone to second on Beecher error, scored on the juicy single of Right fielder Meek. In the fourth two more were added. Alcoek was walked and scored immediately when Lister smashed the sphere to center for three bags. Wal lers followed with another triple and Lis ter scored. Garvin was given base on balls.
 There they stood, Walters on third and liarvin on first, with none out Garvin did not try to steal. Wilhelm did not try to hit the ball. He did try to bunt but Walters had not received the signal for the "suueeze." Had Garvin attempt ed to steal thus drawing the fire of Catcher Matthews, Walters might have scored.
 Molesworth bunted immediately in front Walt faf1 1od tO fal Demont retired the side by flying out to left
 The Storm Breaks.
 In the eighth the Pelicans scored their fifth run, the Barons evened up things, and the attack on the umpire occurred. After one had gone down, Gaston was safe on Listers error. Atz followed with a safe hit, Gaston going to third. Will helm did some remarkable pitching while Manuel was at the rubber, the result being that that batter flied out easily to the infield. When Matthews followed however, a straight one glided over the pan and there followed safe hit. Gas ton scored
 But the Barons in their half put Phil lips completely in the air. Alcock, as in the fourth ming was passed and as in the fourth Lister followed with a triple. AIcock scored. After Walters had gone out Garvin was passed, Wilhelm went out from Matthews to Sabrie. Phillips did not cross the pan when Molesworth was at the rubber and the captain was pur- posely walked. Demont. following, was hit on the shoulder, the ball caroming over the catcher's head. Lister scored.
 Then followed the assault on the um- pire, the ejectment of Phillips and Beecher, and the substitution of Stratton and Fritz.
 There was no more scoring on either side The rain falling at the end of the ninth prevented the initial farce from go- ing into extra innings.
