It was just a case of too much Mitchell" The Mississippian allowed only two hits and was especially effective when swats would have counted. Only one Tennessean got to third and two to second.

Coach Bassett occupied the center garden and landed a hard one in good style

The single detracting feature in the double-header yesterday after noon was the accidental spiking of Sootty Walker of Atlanta by Frank Gygli of Birmingham.
 The Baron was sliding into third endeavoring to beat a throw by Moran to that bag. The throw was low and Walker caught it near the ground.
 Gygli leaped in feet foremost and Walkers thumb was severely cut

As stated in the Age-Herald of yester- day, the association is not responsible for the plight of the Birmingham baseball team
 It was the original plan of Manager Moiesworth to fill his inheld with Gygli, Bowen, Morris and Raftis.
 Morris would have starred in the South ern league as he did in the south At lantie and later in the National.
 Rafts. as has been demonstrated, would have been the star third baseman of the Southern league
 Were Morris and Raftis here. the in- field. as a whole. would be strong.
 With them away, 1t is weak.
 And in saying this nothing to the dis credit of the infeld is intended.
 Manager Molesworth could not foresee that which is believed to be the treachery of Morris; neither could he foretell the sudden departure of Raftis.
 Whenever manager signs q man he lTuns the risk, of course. of that man dropping dead.
 Molesworth is no more responsible. nor is the association, than they would be khad the present situation come about as a result of sudden death.
 To every man, woman and child in Birmingham this is plain. The associa- tiou a up against pretty stiff hard luck game. Had everything worked out as originally planned, few teams in the league would be stronger than the Bar ons.
 But 1t seems that some unholy hoodoo has got us in its grasp and is stifing us to death.
 The season is early yet. But two weeks have transpired. With the pres ent aggregation the Barons cannot make 6 highly respectable showing. This is patent to the naked eye.
 But there is plenty of time in which to strengthen. And 1t is learned that the association is doing it's part in this con nection.
 Immediate action is necessary. Imme- diate success, 1t might be added. is nec- essary.
 At the conclusion of the series against Montgomery this week the Barons begin one of the hardest road trips in the his tory of local baseball. They do not only make tour of the entire west, but they first play series against Nashville, an eastern team.
 In all, 20 games are scheduled. With

We wish to impress this fact. however: The season is an infant yet and all Is not lost by a jugful.
 We have got to do the best we can in every direction. Tn the first place. the team must keep up it's spirit and main tain the fight with a stiff upper lip. In the second place. the association must run to the rescue. Every fan must do his duty, too. and the duty of the fan is not the least. by a long shot.
 In hunting for an infielder do not let a chance to get another pitcher slip. In hunting for a pitcher do not let a chance for an infelder slip.
 Do not put too much faith in the re- turn of Mccain Robinson, and put none at all in the return of Raftis.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-05-02

These are the plain facts in the case.
 Manager Molesworth, it Is known. has wired every team in the big leagues
 He must immediately get in eommuni- cation with all other teams in all other leagues.
 At this stage of the game some minor league organization might part with valuable player for a consideration, while later, when the race is on in earnest, nothing could cause it to come across.
 Frank Smith isa warm friend of Bir minsham, and so is Irving Wilhelm. Either might throw some light on the situation Then there ,s Cincinnati, which in the past has been a friend It might be possible. after all, to return Downey. He has written Raub that he is tired of the bench. and while Manager Griffith has declined to let him go at this time. he might change his mind al a later date. At any rate. the proposition is worth fair trial. Over in Brooklyn there is lit tie Tommy McMillan He would serve Birmingham well if he could be landed. Over in Philadelphia there is Lynch aAd others who are not in the game. Perhaps Connie Mack would farm one of them in the south. Molesworth has tried to land Purtell of Chicago. and failed. He has no encouraging news from any of the other teams with which he communi- cated.
