 So far, it might well be admitted, the pitchers have not come up to the expecta- tion of the fans.
 It is believed that they will round to eventually, but this happy state might be acquired too late
 As to whether or not there is danger of an excellence coming too late, Manager Vaughn is better judge than we. If he fears that result, however, he is advised to get busy in procuring new material.
 Exc1 .)ting the pitchers, the Barons, in all departments of the game, have shown up in fine style. The great majority of the Baron defeats as one of our contem- poraries accurately remarked, are attrib- utable to pitchers parachuting at critical moments.
 The fans at home, still believing that the Barons will come to the front are trusting that they will retain confidence in themselves and not become discouraged If they do, then all is lost.

Atlanta, May 1.-(Special.) - Another garrison finish gave Atlanta a victory this afternoon in the tenth inning over Birmingham when it looked as if the visitors had tied up the game by timely hitting and errors of the home club. Score, to 5.
 With the score tie, 3 to 3, Birmingham came to the bat in the tenth determined to add a win to their string. Douglass went out, but Raub bunted to the pitcher and was safe on first When Viebahn tossed wild to the bag he went to third. Downey hit to left and Raub counted. To add to the quakes of the Atlanta fans, Moran let the ball get away from him, and when he finally got it and tossed it to Winters, who relayed it to Castro the shortstop threw wide to the plate and Downey scored on the comedy of errors.
 Demont was safe on Dyers error and after Reagan had died by the fly route he swiped second, but his effort was useless for Walters flied out to Hurl- burt.
 Then the Atlanta batters strode to the plate with blood in their eyes. Sore over his error in left, Moran punched the ball for a single and then purloined second. Winters dropped bunt and reached first ahead of it, while Moran continued on to third. Becker rapped out a double and Moran scored, while Winters went to third Bill Dyer lifted one to center and Winters scored on the in-throw, Becker going to third. Then Jordan ended the heartaches by a single which brought Becker home with the winning run.
 Early in the game the Atlanta batters got after Robertaille with their sticks and made life a miserable existence In the third, Hurlburt singled to center and went to second, when Castro got away with d bunt, Robertaile and the Baron infeld being easy fruit for bunts. Vie balm snapped one through Robertaille and the bases were choked. Moran hit to third, Hurlburt going out at the plate and the bases still loaded. Winters cracked a safe one for one bag and Castro came home, the bases still being
 intoxicated. Becker singled and Vie balm and Moran scored and there the run making ended.
 Birmingham came near evening up in the fifth when with one out Molesworth singled to center, but was forced at second by Houtzs bounder to the infield
 Douglass tripled to deep right and Houtz registered. Raub pounded one to right and Douglass scored. Raub stole second
 but Downey went out.
 In the eighth inning Birmingham tied the score and Demont failed by an eye lash to get away with home steal which would have ended the game. Raub walked but was forced by Downey' S grounder to short. Downey then swlped second and did a kleptomaniac stunt with third, whence he counted after Demont had walked and Reagan had singled. Wal | ters hit to short and Reagan was forced | at second, Demont going to third. Here Demont made a daring attempt to steal | home, but was shot to earth a few inches | from the plate.
 The Barons hit the ball pretty much ] when they felt like it and only good field l ing saved Viebahn from another defeat at 1 their hands. On the other hand Rooer- l taille was equally easy for the local ''hitless wonders as some writers are 1 chasing them.
