BILLS SUNDAY BASEBALL CHATTER

Montgomery second baseman is nearer on Marcan's level than any other-in spite of the fast that he has made more errors than any other one among the leaders He has had more chances per game than any other second baseman.
 Marcan at the present time is great favorite with Birmingham fans, and has made a great hit on the road.
 While everyone regrets to learn that there is a June derth of money in the South Atlantic league which Is about to eisrupt that little circuit, 1t is pleas ant to realize that the Southeastern, our own baby circuit. is doing well.
 Il will be a fine thing for baseball in this state if the Southeastern con- tluues to thrive. It is composed of six of the best little cities in the world and of fans whose equal, as concerns enthusiasm, can hardly be found.
 The other day traveling salesman was in Anniston and he called to see one of his customers. The customer was out and his clerk said: Sorry. sir, but Mir. Smith has run over to Gadsden to see the gume this afternoon"
 Some time before this the same sales man was in Gadsden. One of his cus- toners had just run over to Anniston to witness a game.
 Such conduct may be bad from a bus mess standpoint but the motto: "If bus mess interferes with baseball, cut out the business" Is a mighty good one to follow, especially in the summer time when health is the first consideration of wise people
 We are deeply interested in the Southeastern. Next to the Southern, t's the best baseball propositoin at the present time below the Mason-Dixon line.

Games Today
Birmingham at Nashville. Montgomery at Memphis.

Nashville. June s.-The Birmingham Barons again defeated the Nashvile Volunteers, the score being 3 to l. Like yesterdays the game today was interest tne. and in the ninth the locals had an onnortunitv to sew up things. But the op- portunity vanished, although in the final round the locals got three hits.
 Manager Molesworth, with the exception nf Pitcher Maxwell, was the hero of the afternoon. His home run in the third was responsible for every Baron run. There were two men on bases at the time his wallop occurred The ball went off the stick like the shot from the mouth of gun. and rising gently but with terrific force, passed over right field fence 20 feet high.
 Previously the locals had scored. And as Keupper was playing in great luck, the home guard began figuring on l to Q victory. After the second the Vols had but two other chances. In the third. sNiseman, with one down, tripled to deep center He died on third. In the ninth, with one down, two singles occurred in row. After the second out, another oc- cured, and the bases were full. Catcher Munson went in to hit for Keupper, and he popped up to Yantz. Thus ended the game.
 The Barons found the benders of Keup- per with great ease but scoring for them was difficult. Marcan and Molesworth were each thrown out at the plate, and about eight others were left lingering on bases. 1n the pinches, to a certain extent 7 keupper got along pretty well.
 The Vols and the Barons will tie uP m a Sunday game tomorrow afternooY. It is probable that both teams willspe ar rested, but it is considered thSf in spite of a few fines the teams will fEnake money l, Bair will be the offering of Manager Schwartz and it is prohstble that Moles worth will send Kent1to the hill. It i' thought that TannsFiil is still too veal for a fierce game. The fans are urging Manager Schwartz to send Flehartl against the l5arons before the conclusion of the present series.
 Maxwell turned his eighth consecutive rFiclory today. He pitched finely.

The Barons are getting along pretty well. They have played eight games on the road and have won four of them. The chance of breaking even for the entire trip is good At least one more should be taken from Nashville. Chat tanooga should divide with us, at any rate.
 The Barons are displaying fine ability to make runs and if the pitching re- rcains good the Barons will continue to win. The one game lost in Mem phis should have been won for in it the Barons made a total of i've runs.
 Hughey Jennings, because he has good hitters, has eliminated the bunt- ing game
 Bunting, when it is not absolutely necessary to make a single run to pre-
 serve the game or to win it, is un- necessary when there are a number of good hitters on club. Bunting was invented for weak hit tcrs.
 At the present time, with the excep- tion of the fingers, there is not man on the club who is not better than the average hitter. Some of them will slump, no doubt, but at the present time 1t matters very little whether the top or the bottom of
 the batting order is up in an inning. II is a great team with which to play the Init and run" And a fine point about it all is that the Barons are so constituted that a lefthander is no more to be feared than
 righthander.
 tell you, with one other pitcher, the
 Barcns will win the pennant. They play a Sunday game this after Eoon in Nashville. 5. A.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

others to inability to field his position, others to the bad effect he had on his | teammates, others to the fact that he invariably forgot 10 back up bases, others to lack of baseball intelli- gence, others to too well fed stom- ach, and others and these latter are in the majority, to a streak of yellow which had 1t been gold, would have made it's owner millionaire.
 The writer has never been able to reach conclusion satisfactory to him self as to the why's and wherefores or the failure of Fleharty.
 When Harry Vaughn brought the big lrishman to Birmingham several years ago, and he showed up with speed and curve and strength and stamina, and big bunch of white molars in the showing of which he took no dislike, he looked the part of real box artist.
 But he didn't make good that year.
 From that moment until this spring he had never looked good
 But when the big Fleharty in March handled the big leaguers from the north and east as easily as Mathewson could handle the Lookouts. the writer imag- ined that the big Baron had at last got his bearings and would carve his mark on the roll of fame.
 But when the season opened It be- came apparent at once that Fleharty was Fleharty and nothing more.
 Then to the writer the cold facts in the case struck home. It was remem- bered that F'leharty had never pitched 800 baseball in this league, and it was evident that he never would.
 There was nothing else to do but make an effort to get him transferred. And it is now believed that had he been fired several years ago, the Barons would have been better off.
 As matter of fact, itis believed that in nursing Lou Bauer and Earl Fle- harty for so many years, Birmingham beat itself out of three or four perfect ly good pennants.
 The cast-off may return and beat us good and proper. But should this oc- cur, Birmingham will. nevertheless, be better off than had it swung to the cast-off
 And Manuel never defeated Birming- ham after having been canned, and Covaleski hasn't turned that trick yet
 But, personally, no one has aughr against F'leharty, and there is satisfac- tion here that he landed berth in this league. Everyone hopes that he will do well. He may do well.

Barons Continue Victorious Course

There is something uncanny in the joy that one human being admits con corning the downfall of another. Es- pecially. is this true when the joy over the downfall of an individual Is a common joy.
 In spite of these facts. 1t was mar vicious how glad were the people of Bir- mingham yesterday when The Age Herald told the news that Pitcher Fle- harty had drawn his dismissal.
 Birmingham wore big smile. It was almost a grin. Men congratulated each other. The approval of the people was unanimous. The joy was commen- surate with that which notes the dying away of the bangs of hunger. Had a democrat been elected president, the satisfaction which such would have caused. would have been as nothing came known that Fleharty was no more.
 The big fellow was never popular in Birmingham. He was tolerated, but never admired in his best years. Every one admitted that he was a good pitcher, but hastened to state that he just couldn't win. Each spring he looked promising, and there were new hopes. And the new hopes eventually withered in the sun and died a misera- ble death.
 This spring, for instance, Fleharty showed form. There was satisfaction among the fans-although they never ceased to fear but that the old story was about to be unfolded again.
 And when the big fellow showed ab- solutely nothing, the fans began wield ing their hammers unmercifully. The fans have cried for his head for a month The association has been urged to let him go. There were cries and hoots whenever his name was men tioned in a matinee. There are those in Birmingham who never went to a ball game when it was known in ad- vance that F'leharty would pitch.
 There are very few people who do not say that Fleharty has stuff" There are a hundred reasons offered as to why he couldn't use that stuff. Some say his failure was due to temper, others to indifference, others to lazlness'
