simultaneously smashed small Win
ming streak of the Pelicans this aft
ernoon in a game featured by the
first triple play made in the Southern
league this season-the only one in
several seasons, in fact-and by Held
ing of the spectacular sort by prac-
ticallv the whole Birmingham outfit.
The score was to l.
Giving Fleharty credit for pitching
an excellent game, he was hit much
harder than the box score shows. IN
fact. there was little difference in his
pitching and Breitensteins except that
the same kind of drives by the home
crowd were gathered in by nifty held
ing. while the Barons' went safe.
. Wordsworth was the leading lady.
"Gladys" was always hanging around
lust when the Pels thought they had
in a drive to center for two or three
bags. He saved at least one run in the
eighth by two great catches. Brett
enstein led off with a drive that at
first looked good. for three bags.
MoIey sprinted over to right center
and pulled it down. In few moments
Butcher hit one that would have hit
the centerfield fence if Moley hadn't
gone back and put himself in the way.
Triple Was the Feature
AS triple plays. are just about as
scarce as hens teeth the triple whlch
the Pels pulled off this AFTERNOON must
on down as the feature of the game.
If came off in the third inning and
was due largely to the fact that Two
birmingham runners thought drive
hit the ground in front of Demont in
stead of being caught by him.
Wordsworth led that inning with
hot single to Manush. Mcbride walked
and Wagner, who played first in Nc
Gilvray's place. WAS safe on fielder's
choice. Breitenstein throwing to third
too late to get Wordsworth. "
Elliott came up with the bags
choked He hit low drive to De-
mont, which Gene nipped just a few
inches above the earth. Wagner start
ed on for second and Wordsworth made
a dash for the plate. Demont and Rome
Immediately realized the possibility or
a triple Demont threw to Rohe, doub-
ling Wagner, and Robe threw to Ma
nush, TRIPPING Wordsworth.
The Barons made two runs In the
first inning on three hits. With one
down Messenger walked and singles
to right field by Wordsworth and Nc
Bride followed, McBride's scoring Mes

right and scored Wordsworth.

On two hits, one of the lucky variety.
Emery led off with a single, ELAN

which put Emery over.
The PeIs Score
The Pels scored their only run In
the second on three hits and sac
rifice fly. Jackson beat out one to
Marcan, Lindsay singled to left and
Manush beat out dinky one TO fle-
harty,a filing the bags. Demont flied
to Messenger and Jackson scored
The best hit of the day was Ellams--
a triple to right center. Demont mar
rowly missed a home run, the ball
clearing the fence within foot or
two of the line.
Wagner played good game at nrst
in, McGilvray's place. McGilvray was
hit In the chest by batted ball sun
day and was pretty sore. He is likely
to be in Tuesdays game.
