The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-06-04

The Pelicans had no trouble in annexing the game yestreday afternoon.
 The Barons, in the field, were excep- tionally rank, and 1t seemed that the making of every error preceded the SCOT ing of runs
 Turner started off for the Barons, and it is probable that had his support been better the youngster would have acqult- ted himself creditaby. As It was he had enough to discourage him. This dls- couragement probably was accountable for the fact that he was hammered right royalty. He was removed during the fifth inning. Wilhelm succeeded, and was tapped regularly. In the change the fielding of the locals improved very little. Fritz pitched the game for the visitors, and while he yielded seven hits he was never in danger.
 As a whole the game was exceedingly rank. The fans lost heart and interest and many left in disgust before the game was over. There was an aspect of n- difference throughout. It seemed that the Barons tried to give the victory to the Pelicans. and that the visitors hes- tated about acceping it.
 Three Hits Five Runs.
 Turner sent the Pelieans to the outfeld easily in the first inning.
 In the second, however, and the third, the Barons grew nervous, and such an- other display of juggling has seldom been seen In those two innings the Pelcans ran up five scores. Turner in those two rounds yielded but three hits.
 In the second, with one down, Gaston doubled, and went to third on an error. .Atz was walked and immediately stole second Gatins, following, hit safe, and
 
 In the third Manuel was safe when Walters juggled. Beecher, attempting d sacrifice, was safe, and Meek threw wild ly' to second, trying to retire Manuel Breitenstein hit saft and Manuel scored There followed a sacrifice and strike out and the fans held their breath
 Just at this juneture Atz rapped one down to third, and Alcoek would not touch it. Two men scored.
 In the second the Barons scored their first run. Gardner was hit with the ball. and stole second As he stole Matthews did his usual stunt, threw the sphere to centerheld, and the runner toon third. From that bag he scored when Garvin hit a clean single that had juice in it.
 Demont Cleared Bases.
 In the fifth Turner yielded two hits, which assisted by base balls, and an error, resulted in the scoring of two more rans. Wilhelm succeeded.
 III lne SlNln Nllnelm was mt three times in succession by Matthews, Fritz and idanuel. An error by Moleswortn kept the spectators In a good humor. This fierce hitting however, was followed by some neat pitching, and but one run was scored.
 From the locals viewpoint there was but one feature to the game. This was in the seventh inning. Gardner hit safe to center and Walters followed with an 1ntield safety. Garvin and Wilhelm flied out, but Fritz issued transportation to Molesworth. which filled the bags
 Demontreville hit the first ball thrown across the plate to right center for two sacks, and cleared the bags Three Barons followed each other in rapid succession 10 the rubber.
 In addition to the rank work of the To- calls and the slowness of play, the game was filled with wrangling. Hackett de- ciding strikes and balls, was unsatisfac- tory, both sides complaining In the very first inning Carlos Smith was hit by pitched ball and was called out. The fans here do not believe that Smith tried, with malice aforethought, to receive the ball in the slats.
