The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-06-19

Tn the season plckeu l0e SendlOTS iOf tdi- enders. Roberts is not one of the kind to stay in a rut Just because he started in it. Since the Senators have been play ing such great ball the Age-Herald has paid them many compliments.-Mo cry State.
 You see, it pays to 'fess up, sometimes.
 Mig" Clarke had the middle finger on his throwing hand split by a. foul tip. Poor Larry, Clarke, his hitting and gin ger considered, is the most valuable catch CT in the American league Hes bound to be missed, and the Naps you know were never going better.-St. Louis Times.
 The Barons certainly handed it to C. Frank Sunday. beating him a double header. The first game was shut-out and the second went to the Barons to l.
 However. the Dutchmans team won both games of Saturdays double-header from Vaughn, so it was an even split. Any eastern team that gets that in New Orleans does well.-Atlanta Georgia.
 You have to outplay them to to get away with a single scalp.
 We learn from the Birmingham papers that the Atlanta team is going to get big bonus for winning the pennant.
 This was the first Atlanta had heard Of it. Funny, how slow we are in getting onto our own news
 The directors of the baseball assoca- ton deny this rumor, but then they must be wrong.-Atlanta Georgian.
 All right, then, have your way about It.
 The Barons were supremely happy at the close of the day and left New Or leans for Memphis last night with all sorts of blessings on Frank for forcing them to play the doubleheader yesterday. New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 The slagville sheets are raising roar about Stratton's being given an error Saturday for throwing the ball to second and nobody covering the base. At first glance it seemed that as the throw was a perfect one. Atz or Gatlns should have been blamed New Orleans mes-Demo- crat.
 Whatever faults may have been found with the Barons. the team is undoubt- edly a dangerous competitor for the honors as long as Turner abstains from stimulants and Clark doesn't falter on the way to his goal.-New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Turner? Stmulants?
 Seven thousand people assembled at Atnetic yesterday to witness the double header baseball contests between the Blr- mingham and New Orleans clubs. It was far the greatest crowd of the season, in fact, 1t was a capacity crowd and there was not one vacant seat in the stands. The increased attendance was caused by the newspaper accounts Of the good work the Pelcans had done on Friday and Saturday against the Barons' and everybody expected to see the Peli- cans win both games again yesterday. But the performance of the New Or leans club was q sad disappointment to the throng, although the spectators quick ly switched their sympathes to the Bar ons early in the first session in order to be on the winning side. New Orleans baseball enthusisasts are enthusiasts only on the winning side. They are not loyal to the home team except when the home team le a mile or two out in front, then they yell their heads of. But they don't stick to a loser. even though the loser may be the home club At that the thou sands who paid to see the game were entitled to witness a better performance than the Pelicans put up. The team was outpitched, outhit and outplayed in every depa rtment of the game and there is no excuse for Manager Frank to offer. After the brilliant work of Friday and Sat urday his men faded away to nothing, and at no times showed ability sufficient to hold a place in this or any other minor league In short, there is some mighty weak spots in the Pelican lineup and the sooner Manager Frank sticks prop under those weak points the better will be the attendance. New Orleans will not stand for losing team. and that Is evident to anyone who ever saw a pro- fessional baseball club anywhere else Since the season opened Frank has not made a single change in the team, with the exception of hiring Beecher to re- place Brouthers at third Beecher is in | nowise an improvement on Brouthers. but Brouthers dislilled his company and could not be made to play hs best while drawing pay from the New Orleans club It is not necessary to point out the weak spots in the team at this time. Frank knows where they are better than any | one else. and it Is likely the fans will force him to the understanding that they also know wherein the team is deficient. 1 New Orleans is the banner attendance | town in the league, but 1t won't be two weeks hence If Frank does not brace up | the team.-New Orleans Picayune. l Branstorms have been in order since | the departure of the Barons.
 l As the dope points today the struggle seems to lie between Memphis, Atlanta and the rejuvenated Barons. with Nash vile. Montgomery and New Orleans scrappng it out for place in the first division among the select.
 All of which dope may present a lop- si ed front by the end of another month. We are simply launching our end of long euess-Nashville Tennessean.
