The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-31
BY BILL AK.

Had McWeller been properly supported, the Barons this morning would be the leaders of the second division.
 Inasmuch, however, as McWeller was imperfectly supported, the double-header with Montgomery was evenly divided yes- terday afternoon, and the Barons are still struggling along, well to the rear or the Dobbers of Nashville.
 The scores of the games were:
 Birmingham g. Montgomery 3
 Birmingham 3, Montgomery 2.
 In the first game. McWeller and Garvin worked the Baron battery, while Maxwell and Seabaugh stood opposing t'"m. In the second, "Tuck' Turner pito -.t Tor Birmingham into the init of Packs Lat timer. while Sammy Weems twirled Tor Montgomery, Seabaugh and Hausen re- celving.
 Had no errors marred the first affair, McWeller would have emerged victor by Il score of to 1.
 He pitched a beautiful game, haVihg demonstrated everything that he had IL his shop, and demonstrated his points ex- telltHllN, anu Ab 'AHN"hN'SN'
 After having pulled out of numerous holes Into which his support had got nini' the pitcher allowed an earned run In the fourth. Ball doubled to center and Hen line followed with a Juicy bingle to right
 Everything went wrong in the htth. ihe rotten support accorded McWeller filled the bases with none out. In spite or tnis handicap, he came as near as peas pulling cut without n schatch.
 Gear. first up, was safe on MeeN's CT TOT. Seabuagh bunted in front Of the nlate and Garvin's throw to second was foo late to retire Gear Maxwell bunted ia the infield. and was safe when Walters threw badly to first.
 And still McWeller wore his character istie smile. and continued to plug away
 Houtz flied out to Molesworth.
 Baxter attempted the squeeze but failure to connect with tAe ball resulted in the death of Gear
 Moose" then hit safe to center, scoring Seabaugh. Ball followed with single ard Maxwell scored Baxter in his Wild pn'- suit. having failed to touch third was called out.
 The Barons scored pair In the sixth.
 After one was down, Smith was Walked.
 Gardner doubled to right center, but smith was held al third.
 Meek did what ne often does in pinch hit safely to center. Both men scored
 Maxwell was going at rapid gait, him self. yesterday. Each pitcher yielded nVe hits. Bert was exceptionally stout when aanger lurked. Considering the fact that McWeller gave no passes, Whle MaN- well dished them out recklessly. the local man outponted his adversary. Alter the fatal fifth ming. made fatal by the blum fatal fifth inning. made fatal by the blum nected with McWeller.
 Turner was invincible in the second game. and the Pretzels had no chance until the coming of the ninth inning.
 Then, even, had Smith and Molesworth not collided in an effort to catch the long fly of Moose Baxter, there would have been no score, possibly.
 Due to the collision of the two out flelders. Baxter's hit was good for two bags. Ball, following, slammed one to the fence for three, Baxter scoring. Ball tailed on a fy-out.
 The Barons. early in the game, tuoched Sammy Weems up for enough hits to push one runner across the rubber.
 In the eighth, there occurred a rally, and two more runs were counted.
 It was good that that rally occurred, considering the fact that the Barons' one would have looked cheap, indeed by the side of the Pretzels' two, made in the inning following
 Turner himself, scored the first run in the third.
 He led off with single to center, and Molesworth beautifully sacrificed him to the keystone Demont was safe on field CTS choice when Perry's effort to catch Turner sleeping at second, failed. The bases were filled when Smith rapped juicl- ly to right.
 Gardner flied out to center. and there fonowed a rare comedy of errors.
 Turner feigned to advance, as did De- mont and Smith. Eausen threw to second, ana threw badly, allowing Turner to count. Demont strated from second, but was able to get back just in the knick of time Nye dropping the ball. Smith. who had started from firstr< was able to recover the bag because Baxter dropped the ball.
 Out of it all the Barons got one tally.
 Some nice hitting m the elghth ln- ming cinched the game for the locals. Molesworth led off with a luscious hit to left, and went to second on a passed ball. Demont sacrificed him to, third. Smith flied to right and Molesworth counted.
 Gardner was walked and instantly, he stole the keystone. From that bag a hit by Meek brought him across the rub Der.
 All of which reminds us, as friend ahnt aAl .lA.
