The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-29

l Nashville at Montgomery.
 It may have been because they were worn out by a long nights travel ac- companied by much heat.
 But at any rate, the Crackers were out played on every side yesterday after noon, the Barons taking both ends of 1 doubleheader.
 In the first Atkins and Dickson di- vided pitching honors about equally, al- though Atkins could not prevent hits fall ing together as successfully as the Baron slabman. In the second Sky" Rogers was pie, and the Barons hammered his 1 elongated carcass into pulp. F1eharty was master of the situation throughout, . and had his support been perfect in ev- cry particular, there would have been no scoring on the part of the visitors.
 The heat was intense. But this did not hinder one of the banner crowds of the season from attending. Seldom this sea- son has there been a larger bunch of fans seated around West End diamond, and it is probable that the enthusiastic support of this crowd Is accountable in 1 part for the splendid playing of the home guard.
 Day of Features. | The big bill was full of features Jor- dan's work at second, throughout, was simply brilliant. The fielding and throw ing of McGilvray in the second slaugh- tering Bayless at the plate and Jordan, later, trying to stretch a single into a double, were spectacular. Molesworth's three two-baggers in the second should not be passed over without special men ton, and Raub's swatting and un-getting was decidedly out of the ordinary But the single feature of the games and that which surprised more than any other, was the splendid attendance. It is prob- able that 5000 saw the games, and for two years such crowds have been the exception in Birmingham.
 The First Won. In the first.ga Birmingham broke the ice in the third inning. With one down Ellam walked Dickson, Henline Bowen and Molesworth then hit in succession, which coupled with a stolen base and a base on balls netted three runs. The Init and run" was here worked effectively, Molesworth hitting by first and Henline scoring.
 Atlanta came back with a vengeance In the fourth. Bayless singled to the infield and went to second on the bad throw of Ellam. Rohn was safe on field CTS choice, though Bayless was safe at third after chase when Dickson dropped Bowen's throw, Rohn during the excite ment going to second Smith then singled to right, scoring Bayless Rohn fell be- tween third and home, and was forced to return to third when scoring, had he held his footing, would have been easy. Newton went out easily without the ad- Yancement of the Crackers on bases, and with Jordan at bat there was a mis- carriage of signals to such an extent that when Kane held the ball. Rohn was tmidly standing half way between third and home. He went out, and Jordan hit for two, scoring Smith. Walker retired the side from Dickson to Gygl Had Rohn held his footing after turning third, or had he not misconstrued a signal, the score would have been tied, and the game might have ended in that fashion.
 The Second Battle.
 Henline opened the second game with single to the infield and was sacrificed. He scored on Molesworth's double. Moles- worth scored on Raftis' double. Raub's hit sent Raftis to third Raub stole sec-
 
 at the plate attempting to score on an infeld hit. Raub then stole home with out effort but amidst great applause
 Raub singled in the fourth, was sac rificed to second and scored by McGil- vray's hit to center.
 Henline opened the fifth with a single, was sacrificed and scored on Molesworth's second double.
 Molesworth opened the eighth with third double. Raftis was safe on field CTS choice Molesworth being safe at third on Smiths wild throw. Raftis then stole second and both were driven home by Raub's triple. Raub scored on Me Gilvray's hit to center.
 Atlanta scored in the second. Rohn hit through Ellam for two bags, went to third on long hyout and scored on New tons single through Raftis.
 With one down In the ninth Smith hit to Ellam and went to second on the wild throw of the shortstop. He scored on Newtons double. Jordan's strikeout and Walkers foul fly to Raftis retired the side and ended the second game.
 McGilvray's Good Work.
 Bayless opened the fourth with a scream ing triple to deep right. Rohn went out from Fleharty to Gygli Smith flied to Me Gilvray and the big rightfeder, by a beautiful and perfect throw, nailed Bay less with all his speed, at the plate. AL most immediately thereafter Jordan singled to right field fence, but went out at second, McGilvray hurling the sphere perfectly to Ellam. McGilvray received tumultuous applause.
 1t was really a big day for Birmingham
