The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-09-09

Had those Barons, who were reck- oned as the support of Pitcher Kent, earned a particle of their salaries yes- terday afternoon, Birmingham would have won the second game of the series against New Orleans, To. But Baron ''bones,' boots and bip1ders (and there was an estimable collection of each variety), upset the best laid schemes of the local management, and New Or leans got away with the victory, 2-1. The Pelicans played a brilliant game, not only in that they made no errors. but in that by rapid operation of their brains, they took advantage of each of the Baron blunders.
 Both Klawitter and Kent were In rare form. In the first inning. Kent set & record in this league by striking out three men on ten pitched bals. In the second round, he permitted a bingle. The second Pelican. hit occurred In the eighth when Storch rolled one leisurely between Phelan and Ellam. Klawitter, with the exception of the first round, permitted nothing which resembled a hit when the Pelican plate was endan- gered He was strong all the way, and his effectiveness was demonstrated time and again when with three balls succession an equal number of strikes.
 Barons Score in First
 To witness the game. a large number of fans flocked to Redwood. These
 
 nothing could undo what Baronial up- heavals had accomplished. They left the park when all was over with a fleeting vision of a pennant dream with a hope all but submerged in des- pair.
 The Barons got off on the jump. Marcan walked. Molesworth flied out to left, and Phelan forced Marcan at second. The young Baron, however, stole second and scored moment later when Mcbride cut loose a bingle to center.
 The first Baron error occurred in the second round. kirke opened with a drive just out of Marcan's reach and went to third when Hanna permitted the pellet to escape to the fence. He scored on a sacrifice fly. Molesworth, incidentally, made three clever catches in this round.
 From that point to the eighth inning it was nip and tuck, both teams play ing good ball. In the fourth, however, the Barons- exploded, the detonation shak- ing every fan from his seat in the grand stand. Callahan reached first on four wide ones Elliott, attempting to catch him mapping, threw high to McGilvray, and the Pei went to second. Knaupp sac rifced him to third. Klawtter. attempt ing the squeeze" bunted directly into the outstretched arms of Kent, Callahan mak- ing no attempt to reach the plate. Then McGilvray dropped the throw of Kent and Callahan landed over the platter with the run which told the tale. In the same round Marean made an error, but all the damage necessary had been completed
 The Barons' Chances
 The Barons had an opportunity to score in the sixth, but as usual, a blunder in- tery yened. Molesworth triped to deep left, and as he rounded third Manush caught the return from Knaupp. Speer, who was coaching, did not tackle the manager, and he rolled out at the plate. The de- cision was not even close.
 Again in the ninth there was a chance. Marcan opened with a luscious single to left. On the hit and run Johnston fieded Moesworth's drive, but Marcan reached second. Phelan hit to third and went out at first as Marcan reached third. Mcbride then stung one through Klawitter, but did not take advantage of the opportunity by sliding, and was out, of course, by a toe nail. Marcan had crossed the plate in the meantime.
 The game would have been interesting to a bunch of non-partisan spectators. To those who saw it, however, 1t was a panorama of a dream that had passed, of a hope that went shrieking away, and of a failure which is beyond repair.
