ENCOURAGING LETTER.
Fan Says Rooting Wins Games-Hsi
 Good Advice.

The following was received last night:
 Birmingham June 8, 1909. Your dope of this mornings issue of The Age-Herald was certainly substan- tiated this afternoon
 ''The crowd at the park was thin being composed. as the writer sees 1t, of those who love the sport for sports sake. Not withstanding the fact that Dickson had been found by the Pelcans for four runs up to the last half of the seventh, the faithful continued to advance the glad hand both to Moley and Henline, who had come in for their share of knocks. as well as to the others of the Baron bunch. With two down and unwavering encouragement from the stands, the boys proceeded to connect with MT. Pruitt for safeties sufficient to push seven runs across the rubber
 ''The writer saw old rooters of pennant days in the stands waving hats canes and umbrellas and trying as best they might to encourage the Barons to vic tory.
 While 1t cannot be claimed that the faithful were altogether responsible for today's game going in the right column, yet it is reasonable to assume that some Of the credit is due them.
 Birmingham undoubtedly has good ma terial in it's club, as is shown by its rec ord on the road, but it cannot stand the onslaughts of those young gamblers who get sore at the first Baron miscue and begin to knock for feather-legged fear Of losing $l 50, or possibly $2
 ''The Barons need a balance wheel, but for the love of the game-as game patrons of a gamer sport-let us convince these young fellers on our diamond that we are with them, right or wrong, until they demonstrate their unworthiness and their places can be filled.
 "A good pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether (at home) will materially change our standing ere the ides of June run into those of July Yours truly

Pulling 'Em From lie Fire
 And Some Other Stories

the ensuing road trip will jar Bills fin gers loose.
 And Mobile is proving the sensation of the league. To look the Gulls over from head to feet they have very little of which to boast. But they get results and results are what count. They know the game and are playing 1t skillfully. There is no internal dissension of any nature and Senten is furnishing large amount of brains
 As we have dared to say before the Lord certainly loves Mobile.
 Paddy Kane got his eye on the ball yesterday In the early stages of the game he hit one to deep right center field fence He opened the seventh by singling to left and scoring Henline.
 It Is probable that no man in the South ern league today save Kane has got as many as two singles in one inning.
 The fans are roasting Molesworth because he is not hitting them to safe territory.
 But Molesworth is hitting them on the nose"
 And he starred in the seventh inning more brilliantly even than one of those who hit safely.
 He got a walk and filled the bases He got that walk, too, after fouling the first two in succession. He thereafter fouled all that came over the plate and let those which didn't go. He walked.
 Do not fear that Molesworth will fail to hit highly this season.
 Andy Bowen got In the game yesterday afternoon after a week absence, and 1t was good to witness his graceful field ing.
 He is as sure as Lew Walters and Lew was the best second baseman on whom the sun ever shone.
 Tommie Raub is troubled with a catch in the side which prevents his throwing and hitting. He is getting straight, how ever, and will be in the game soon.
 We see very little that is brilliant in the fielding of Huelsman H. W. R.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-09

For a while everything was delightful yesterday afternoon. The fans awoke to the necessity of pulling A game out of the fire They got busy with their lungs and the rattle of the ooea-cola bottles resounded for miles around.
 As a result the blood of the Barons surged proudly in it's channels, and the blood of the Pelicans ran cold.
 Then came the severe hammering given Pruitt. Then followed the loss of Dun don,s temper. Then followed the aerial ascension of MT. Pruitt.
 We must keep up the fight. There are several other Fruits in this league.
 This afternoon the Barons and the Pel jeans face each other for the last game of the present series.
 Manuel will work for Birmingham, while "The'' Breitenstein, the grand old man" of the league. will twirl for New Orleans
 ManueTs finger, injured some time ago in Mobile, is much improved, and 1t is probable that he will be able to dish them across in old-time style. At any rate, the game should be a good one.
 And when it is concluded the Barons will go upon the road for the longest trip of the season. They will not appear again in Birmingham until the last few days of the month when they tackle Att lanta here. Before returning they visit just about every team in the league, play ing more than 20 games.
 Atlanta and Mobile afe fairly setting the woods afre Atlanta, always difficult to defeat on it's home grounds, seems to be going stronger than ever before. The Crackers are simply unbeatable" and that's all there is to 1t.

Atlanta, June S.-Atlanta took a little firmer hold on first place this after noon by defeating Little Rock in the shortest game of the season. The in- nings were played in an hour and 16 minutes. Rohn, for Atlanta, got a home run with two men on bases. The ball was one of the hardest hit of the year and although Rohn is not consid- cred a very fast man. he had time enough to walk from third base home. Fisher, who has not been well for a week. pitched for Atlanta and did not allow a run until the ninth when he seemed to weaken. It was then that Sentz got double and scored on a single by Collins: Score:
