The shades of evening have fallen twice
to circle the bases at West End. Yes
terday afternoon they met second Wa
terloo. the score being 6 to 0.
liver Wagner, on the >hil for Birming-
ham, was invincible. and he came near
duplicating the feat of Covaleski on the
afternoon previous. Like the Pole, Wag-
ner held the visitors to four swats and
shut them out Forrest Moore, late of
Boston, was curving them over for Chat
tanooga, but the Barons found him with
consummate ease From the first to the
final round he was punctured. until he
resembled a sponge when a halt was
called. He failed to show any reason
why the Boston management made a
mistake in decorating him with the de-
gree of the can. The Barons found him
for eleven swats, the number. incidental
ly, piled up Monday afternoon on Dema-
rec.
Mcbride was easily the star of the
game. He had much to do. and ac-
quilted himself IN splendid style. He was
from the foul line to the other boundary
of his territory In a trice. and showed
rare speed and excellent Judgment When,
toward the end,o the game, "Buttermilk"
Meek punched one that threatened to go
over his head. with single paw he drug
1t down. So frequently did his work
please that the fans could hardly watch
the raging fight for applauding him. Nc
Gilvray walked away with the swatting
honors from a Baron standpoint, and
his double with the bases full was one of
the brilliant features of the game. Col
Inns. for Chattanooga, stung the ball
hard, and he got three of the visitors
total of four swats. The attendance was
large and enthusiastic.
McCsiIvray Clears Bases
The Barons won the game in the first
inning Marcan opened with single
near Meek. and was sacrificed by Mes
senger, who was safe himself when Moore
heaved wildly to second. Moleswortn
thereupon beat out a bunt to the infield
and Mcbride, following. did likewise, this
putting Marcan over the pam Then to
the bat approached Bill. McGilvray and
his swat passed wildly over the head Of
Leftfieder Collins Messenger. Moles-
worth and Mcbride scored. Thereafter
the visitors played as If tired. Their
supply of ginger had become exhausted.
1t was in the fifth when Birmingham
scored again. Wagner opened this in
ming with luscious swat to center and
Marcan. following. smashed another by
HERE Meek. Messenger sacrificed the
runners. but Molesworth POPPED up to
Moore. Mcbride, however, delivered IN
this instance. and his double through
Dobbs in center put Wagner and Marcan
over In the fourth the Barons lost an
opportunity to run another score or two
over. McGilvray opened with wallop
to center and was sacrificed. Emery was
safe when he beat out a light one to
Lister, Moore and Meek colliding at the
initial corner. But Newton fouled out
to Carson and Emery, who could not hear
the cries of the coacher, was doubled out
Just as McGilvran ran over the home
plate.
Lookouts Were Discouraged
1t would be hard to imagine a more
hopeless outfit than the Lookouts. With
the exception of Collins they fed from
the hand of Wagner, who, like the cat,
toyed with them for while and choked
them to death. In the first inning Col
Inns singled and Meek was pinked on tho
