The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-30
By BILL AK.

The game yesterday afternoon was an- other of the lopsided variety, but Mem phis broke the monotony by achieving the victory.
 Neither Robinson, who began it. nor Turner. who concluded the engagement, had anything with which to puzzle the Memphis swatters, and the result which followed was natural enough-both were hammered to every corner of the lot, and then some.
 On the other hand Schwenck paced at a 2:10 clip from the firing of the starting weapon to the crossing of the tape But four times the Barons hit him safely and these bingles were badly scattered His one weakness was an inability to get the ball over the plate but this trouble grew chronic only after the visitors had sewn up the game tighter than misers grip. To the wildness of the pitcher, however the lonesome tally hung up by the Barons is traceable.
 In the seventh inning Jupiter turned his hose on the lot. and time was called for 25 minutes. With difficulty and in showers the struggle was concluded The second game was started with a rush, the Memphii getting one and the Barons two hits in the single inning played, but a terrific rain. accompanied by dense thunder and scowling lightning. left the field in such a condition that to conclude the skirmish was impossible. However, .Fitz' held the crowd until the expira- tion of 30 minutes, in order that, as he stated, there would be no chance of his losing a job.
 On account of the two successive de- feats administered Babb's men by the Barons the fans have awakened to some extent from their mid-season sumbers. and there was quite a fine attendance, and deal of enthusiasm. The fans, in fact when Douglass scored towards the conclusion of the first engagement, were frantic with delight having forgotten to all intents and purposes the nine mark CTS that the Memphii mad scored.
 The Crushing Defeat.
 In the beginning it looked as if the locals would get next to Schwenck. but either bad judgment on the part of the Barons or clever work on the part of the Memphis pitcher cast them into slough of despond. Henline opened with a bunr to the pitcher, which he beat out with little trouble. Just at that time, how ever, he was caught off first, and died before reaching the keystone.
 Downey, following singled lusciously to center. Just at that time he was caught off first and died route to the key stone.
 Molesworth following drew base on balls and purloined the second pillow. But Meek retired the side from Babb to Carey, and the i.e beginning amounted to nothing-unless a handicap.
 Robinson got off light enough in the first and second innings, scratch hit in the first and a base on balls in the sec ond limiting the damage done by the visitors. But in the third, eight men faced him. four of them hit safely, an- other was walked. two stole bases and another profited from a wild pitch Four runs counted O'Leary contributed a screaming three-sacker to right. Red mond following. smashed one safely to center and O'Leary trotted across the pan. wild pitch sent Redmond to sec ond and Schwenck was walked. Mur- phys hit to center scored Redmond and Donahue's hit to right scored Schwenck. Murphy and Donahue then worked the double steal in which Meek assisted with miserable throw to second, and the former scored. In all that time no one was out Baerwald relieved the situa- . tion, however, by flaming and Cranston and Babb popped in succession to Walters and Molesworth.
 Though Carey started the fourth with hit to center the next scoring of the visitors occurred in the fifth. In that in- CTS, netting total of six hits and four runs. After one run had scored, three hits had been smashed out and no Mem phil had retired Robinson yielded the ghost in favor of Turner. It was case of the devil or the deep blue sea- and the Barons in making the change leaped headong from the spider into the fire. The terrific bombardment of the visitors continued unabated Donahue opened with a double to center. Baerwald' s hit scored him. Cranston's hit sent Baerwald to second and Babb sacrificed the runners Carey's hit scored Baer- wald and Cranston and Carey scored him. self on O'Leary single and Redmond 8
