Bv BILL AK.

There was blow in the ninth, and it was all off.
 Montgomery won the opening game of the last of the home series by a score of to ?.
 TJntil the ninth each team had a couple of runs.
 Tn the first half of the fatal final round hits by Persons and Pope. and errors by Molesworth, Gygl and Ellam, showed three tallies over the plate for Montgom- cry This was the blow that put the camel out of politics.
 Birmingham was on the defensive from the first to the final round.
 Bliss pitched a steader game than Dlck- son. The Birmingham twirler had great trouble in getting his curve ball over the nan. This necessitated too many straight, fast ones. which proved easy picking for the Sleepers.
 And Dickson's support was about as en- ergetic as a garter snake after swallow- ing goose.
 Montgomery scored first in the fourth. Kerwin hit for a couple over first. Per- son singled shortly to left, and the ball got by Henline.
 Then Birmingham scored. McGilvray was safe on an error of Pope, was sac- rificed to second took third on an out to jnfield and scored on Bowen's rap to left. Then Montgomery scored again. Whit man opened with hit, was sacrificed to second took third on an out, and scored on a swat of Bliss.
 Then Birmingham scored on Larsen's  .soueeze' to the infeld.
 Then came the ninth. Persons opened with a single to center. Molesworth failed to field it, and it went for three Greminger hit to Dickson. Gygli dropped inc throw and Persons scored. Gremnger was sacrificed to second and scored on Pepe's triple to left center. shannon flied to left. but Ellam's ambition caused an in- yasion of Henlines territory with the usual result-a dropped ball. Pope scored Bliss hit to Ellam and shannon was forced at second.
 Bliss pitched remarkable game when it is considered that innumerable times Birmingham had men on second ready to score on a wallop. And never during the game did a hit come with d Baron on sec ond. ~
 Rliss did some effective work in the third After Ellam had famed. Larsen singled to center Dickson stung one Vlcl- ouslv to the same territory sending Lar sen to third. He then stole second
 Well. Molesworth missed the squeeze, and followed with two other passes at bad ones Henline retired the side rom Pepe to Greminger.
 At no other time during the game did such a good opportunity present ltseh.

NASHVILLE WAS CRUSHED.
Atkins Pitches Wonderful Game and
 Moran Hits Hard.

Atlanta May 5,-Atlanta shut out Nashville today in the first game of series of four. Tommy Atkins did not allow hit until the seventh inning, when Wiseman got Texas Leaguer" back of short. Only two hits were made off of him in the nine innings, and he struck out eight men. On the other hand, Duggan was generous with hits and passes East told him to walk Rohn in the fifth inning. This seemed to rattle him and six runs resulted two of them being forced in. Moran for Atlanta got three runs and three hits, a single and double and a triple In the fifth inning every man for Atlanta was up and Win ters was twice at bat in that round

WITH THE SCRIBES.

Atlanta had an off day Thursday.
 Wonder if Grant Schopp was the cause of it?
 If there is anything like revenge in the makeup of Schopp he should certainly be happy.
 But Grant is one of the best balanced fellows in baseball and there is nothing mean about him. He is playing his best for Birmingham and would do the same for Atlanta.
 There have been some adverse criti- cisms of Bill Smith for letting Schopp go last year.
 The facts in the case, however, put a different light on the affair, for in this instance Smith did the only thing he could do under the circumstances.
 Last season at a time when Atlanta needed all the pitchers that could be car ried Schopp received telegram calling him home on account of the illness of his mother. There was nothing for him to do but go, and he asked to be allowed to leave at once.
 This happened about a week before the first of the month, which is pay day for the men, Schopp was paid in full for the month ana 1eIt 1mHeulately. lie did just what any man should have done under the circumstances.
 Now comes the other side.
 The Atlanta cluO was down hill.
 Things were breaking bad.
 The club had to have pitchers.
 To keep Schopp meant the team would be shy man or have to go over the player limit.
 It was give him an unconditional re- lease, violate the player limit or add to the clubs discomfort by going without a man when one was very much needed.
 That is how Schopp came to leave At lanta.
 There is no man in the league who has more friends in Atlanta than he and while the fans want to see the home club win they would rather see Schopp get the benefit of any defeat that comes than any other pitcher to cop 1t off.
 Schopp holds the esteem of every man with Atlanta who knows him, and Bill Smith thinks as much of him as he ever did, though it is dollars to foul tips that he wished he was in Hades or some other place while he was pitching against At lanta on Thursday.-Atlanta Journal.

BASEBALL CHATTER.
Grant Schopp works today.

Grant Schopp works today.
 It's about time for another home victory.
 Bliss was in fine form yesterday and deserved to win his game
 Dickson pitches well, but he cannot Win. He will land one of these days
 Tommy Atkins is showing up marvel ously. That was an awful drubbing he gave Nashville yesterday afternoon.
 Little Rock is not doing so well at home, either. The Pelicans got the Travellers in easy fashion yesterday.
 The Barons say the New Orleans fans stood up in their seats and rooted for Birmingham in the Sunday game.
 The development of Ellam is phe nomenal. He is delivering the goods at the present time in fine packages.
 The Cubs lost their fourth straight game to Pittsburg yesterday, and fine quartet was played on Chicago grounds, too.
 As long as Memphis loses on the aft ernoons the Barons lose, it's a cinch the Barons will never get on the bot tom.
 Strange record the Barons have to date. They have broken even in eight road games, and lost all but one at home.
 Morris worked out little yesterday and looked well. He expects to be able to get in the game in weeks time.
 Paddy Kane had a deadly whip yes terday, and the four Sleepers who at tempted to purloin second were tossed out easily.
 How poor old Charlie Babb must have hated to lose to Stockdale, and how happy Stockdale must have been when he won victory!
 While in New Orleans Mccain Rob- inson presented himself to the Barons Mack Is looking good and is about ready to report to Cincinnati. He was tickled when the Barons trounced the Pelicans.

AUTOMOBILE DAY
 IN MONTGOMERY Larry Smith of Birmingham
 Has Arrived MONTGOMERY tNTHUSES In Birmingham Great Interest Ia Shown In Events for Friday. Races Promise To Be
 Thrilling.

Montgomery, May 3-(Special)-S. Law renee Smith, known all over the central part of the state as Larry" is here from Birmingham to win the Alabama au- tomobile championship. He has his two American roadsters here, with his run about stripped for action. The race is at five miles and will be run tomorrow aft ernoon, the winner to receive a handsome cup.
 In coming to Montgomery Larry had a hard time. He shipped his big roadster by freight and followed through the coun- try with the touring car. He reached Ca lera Friday night and left Saturday morn- ing early. Ten miles from here he got stuck in the mud Saturday night and spent the night in the machine. He is accompanied by two of Birmingham's best mechanics. Early Sunday morning they managed to get the car out of the mud with the assistance of a pair of mules and then came on to the city.
 The big car was frightful looking machine when 1t arrived, covered with mud until it looked as if it had been through all the mudholes between here and New Orleans. The boys looked about as bad as the car, being smutty, greasy and mud themselves. In a short time, however, they were at work on the roadster and during the day went on the track with it.
