The Sleepers Couldn't
 Locate Pitcher Bauer

Pitcher Bauer, who, in turning his third and successive victory, was steady in the pinches and demon at the bat. Four of the eight runs rung up by the locals saw the gates of home slide back as result of the hitting of the pitcher. Juul, on the contrary, suffered unspeakable torture-a torture which his face made no perceptible efforts to conceal. He was exceedingly, easy of solution, and at the end of the third was dragged from the box, bleeding from a dozen foul wounds. McCafferty succeeded, and fared much better, though it is probable that had the Barons needed runs they could have got them.
 In the first both sides were satisfied in sizing up each other. In the second Mont gomery was retired In regular order. Raub, for Birmingham, opened with a hit Douglass sacrificed him, and both were safe when Greminger threw the sphere into the broad back of Tommy Raub Smith put both down a peg, and both scored when Lew Walters cut loose a luscious bingle to right. Lew went to third on Larsens hit, and both runners scored when Bauer tripled to deep right. Juul Shown No Mercy.
 | In the third the Pretzels failed to , threaten, but the Barons, showing the putting Juul no pity whatever, took up the terrific bombardment where they left off in the previous inning. Raub, first up, flied out to Hopkins, but Douglass bingled | all laFt to later in an attempt to steal second But Smith drew pass and took the keystone on Walters second hit of the afternoon. Larsen S hit to right-center scored Smith, and sent Walters to third. Bauer, fol- lowing rapped one through Perry, and Walters and Larsen registered.
 The Sleepers broke the ice in the fourth when Greminger and Perry hit safely in succession. Rockenfield went out from Walters to Douglass, and Bauer gave life to a dead one when he hit Pope with the ball. With the bases full, and with Shannon hitting to Walters, a double play , was attempted. Walters fielded the ball , to Downeyi but Downey threw very high to Douglass, and Gremnger and Perry crossed the platter. In the seventh the
