The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-06-08

Otis Stockdale, the veterans Memphis twirler who is more successful than any other Southern league pitcher numbering as many gray hairs, was trimmed yester- day afternoon by the Coal Barons under the leadership of Vincent Turner, the South atlantic recruit.
 It was age matched against youth and vigor, and as is seldom the case, the young man won
 The final score was 4 to and at no stage of the game was the result in doubt. It was another case of the Barons hitting the ball when men were on bases
 The game was characterized by sharp fielding and much brilliancy. The game was well pitched. Stockdale, unquestion- ably one of the hardest to defeat in the league, was in rare form, and probably had his support been more perfect he would not have suffered defeat. Turner yielded more hits than did Stockdale, but hls support was better, and he was more reluctant in giving free passes.
 The game was not without wranglng. In the second inning, when Hackett called Richards out at third when lie was hit with batted ball, there followed howl which for fierceness has seldom been euualled. When Hackett was firm, Babb entered protest with the official scorer. Remarks following this episode from Pitcher Suggs, who was seated on the bench. caused his ejectment from the park.
 Four fast doubles tended additional in- terest. Each team scored two.

 In the fifth the Barons cinched the game beyond dispute. Gardner, first up fin this inning, went out at first, Stockdale covering the bag, the decision being ex- centionally close Walters, next to face Stoekdale, rapped the first ball thrown by his old team mate to deep right center, which, had it not hit the fence and bounded back to the fielder would have counted certainly for three bags. AS IL was Walters stopped on second, and watched Garvin go out easily. lie was not destined to die there however, Tor Turner uneorked a three-sacl<er to left, over the head of Carter who misjudged. From third Turner came home when Molesworth's hit to the ntield rolled safe ly These two additional scores cincned the game for the Barons.
 How Memphis Scored.
 The final score was made in the eighth inning, and was due primarily to wild throw by Stockdale for the Barons made no hit in that period. Smith was walked, and his proverbial luck brought out passed, which placed him on second, and a wild throw to third on the part of the pitcher which opened the home place to his entrance. A double play in this inning retired the side
 The first score of the Memphii came Tn the second inning. Richards was safe on an error by Alcock, and Carter sacri- feed him to second Neighbors rapped me vislously over third, and the umpire called Richards out, alleging that the pali hlt him.
