The FarezvaH Series

The prediction cannot be made that the Barons will leave with a rating as good as 500. If this happens, then four of the four games with Montgomery must be victories.
 The record of the Barons in Mont gomery and Atlanta was not too bad, in spite of the fact that an even break is not mentioned. Three victories and five defeats! The game yesterday would have evened things up, and should have been landed But on account of these facts, yesterdays effort Is the most disgusting of all that have been made.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-05-03

The Barons play farewell series be- ginning today. After the four games with Montgomery, the locals take the paths for the wild west. They have returned home simply to say goodbye, and get the encouragement of the local fans be- fore going up against unfriendly faces and q most difficult proposition. The Barons before returning play New Or leans, Shreveport, Little Rock and Mem phis, a total of sixteen games After the return, the western clubs will be entertained in a row.

Atlanta's runs came easily. Wilhelm walked Dyer. Fox doubled and Dyer was held at third. Spade smashed a fly to right and Dyer scored. Castro filed to right and Fox scored. There you are.
 Blrminghams single score came after brilliant effort. Alcock hit safe, was sacrificed to second and sent to third on Walters hit Walters thereupon stole second, and at the same time Alcock crossed the pan.

going into details, suffice it to say that three single and a base on balls failed to net a tally. One would have tied the scored. Two would have won the game and divided the series.
 The Barons had a man tossed out at third and another killed at the plate. Gardner failed twice to retire runners at the plate, although in the case of Dyer the Barons raised a howl, and the oper- ator stated that the decision was mighty close one.
 Smiths support of Molesworth, retiring a runner at second after a safe hit, was the brilliant feature of the game.

Montgomery and Birmingham! These teams, on local grounds, meet for the first time this afternoon. So far, the seasons record is an even break, each club having landed two games The other clubs of the league will view the games in Birmingham as struggles be- tween the champions of the cellar.

 Montgomery's lineup will be changed somewhat. Ratchford will be benched and Baxter the new first baseman, who played second yesterday, will be switched to the initial corner. Nye will join the Pretzels this morning. He has been out of the game on account of a lame ankle.

In the third inning yesterday Sid Smith of Atlanta hit a fly ball to right center. It was evident that Molesworth had a chance to get it, for Winters hugged first. Molesworth missed the catch, how ever, and Carlos Smith backing him up, fielded the ball to second in time to retire Winters. Sid Smith is credited with a hit.
 According to the rules Sid Smith cannot be given a hit, because Winters was thrown out at second It should have

been scored fielders choice, and Moles- worth should have been credited with an assist. Last season Montgomery hit safe ly to right, but Molesworth was thrown out at second. According to the rules should not have had hit.
 On account of the fact that Winters hugged first the probability is great that Molesworth should have cought the ball. It looks as if the scorers in Atlanta are that Smith shall again lead the league with the stick.

Atlanta, May 2.-(Special )-Anxious for the series, Billy Smith sent in Castleton for the second time. and the left-hander from New York bested Wilhelm in a pitchers battle. by the score of to l.
 Wilhelm pitched an excellent game and held Atlanta to eight hits, while the Bar ons were getting ten, but with men on bases Castleton was "unhittable." To show how many chances Birmingham had and how scattered were their hits, in seven innings the Barons had men on bases by the safe hit route. In another inning a man reached first by four balls
 The Slagtown artists, however, man. aged to bunch their hits in just two in- nings the second and the eighth. In the second, Alcock singled to center, was sacrificed to second, went to third when Walters singled, and came home on beautiful double steal, Alcock to the plate, and Walters to second. Wilhelm famed.
 In the eighth, Birmingham made three hits and failed to score through poor work on bases. Molesworth walked and c. Smith bunted and beat it out. Gardner hit to pitcher forcing Molesworth out at third. Meek singled to left but Smith was tossed out at third. Alcock singled to right and Gardner was tossed out at the plate.

 Have you ever noticed that Captain Leewe is always the first Pirate to go out on the field when the game opens? And If you remember his right hand is always in his hip pocket while he is going out. There's story behind this habit. Leewe doesn't use tobacco as a rule, but during baseball game he takes just nine nibbles off a plug of juicy Piper Heidsieck-one after each inning. That's the reason his hand unconscously finds it's way into the pocket of his trouser- cites. Without his tobacco he would be lost, and could not play his usual bril- liant game.
