HOW FIRMNESS BROUGHT
 SCHETTLER TO HIS SENSES

Louis Schettler, Baron pitcher, will report.
 Yesterday at noon he wired that his doctors had advised him against com ing south.
 Tho local association said nothing. The siIence was ominous of evil, how exer-'
 Louis Schettler got wise at once.
 Yesterday, during the ball game, a telegram came to Manager Molesworth. It was from the pitcher. He said:
 "I will come at once if I have not been suspended"
 Manager Molesworth wired back "All right; come ahead"
 So, it is supposed. he will come.
 The Schettler case is a peculiar one When the Phillies were here in March he said to Molesworth: "Try to get me.

EDITED BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

average man in Birmingham knows who runs hand books, and who will bet you odds that you can't pick so many win ners.
 The authorities used to say: You can't stop them.'
 Until recently. no one imagined that the prohibition laws could be enforced even partially. Formerly, it was impossi- ble to prevent the blind tigers from working with front doors wide open. But now there has been a change.
 Judge Lane might work another mir acle.
 Baseball gambling is contrary to law. It differs in no essential respect from race track gambling.
 Race track gambling in addition to it's other nefarious influences, made all race tracks the nest bed of crookedness. Too, it destroyed racing as sport
 Baseball is in the same danger.
 It is time for the association to take a hand in the fight.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-05-04

I had rather play regularly in a good minor league than to warm up the real pitchers in the majors" Moles- worth went after him.
 Then Schettler took his time about reporting. His wife was i'll and there seemed reasonable excuse for his delay. Then he came and signed his contract at once Then he and his wife left like the Arabs who fold their tents in the night and silently steal away.
 He gave notice that his wife was i'll and that he wodld return soon. Then he sent word that he was sick. The association then smelled a mouse and notified the player that unless he came back he would be suspended for the remainder of the season.
 According to reports Schettler should be good pitcher. He use to be, any way.

Games Today
New Orleans at Birmingham. Mobile at Montgomery. Memphis at Atlanta. Nashville at Chattanooga.

For several innings the game yester- day gave indications of being the real article. Then in the eighth, without warning, Gilroy lost the cunning which had hitherto characterized his work, and what hope there might have been, took wings. In the eighth the Pelicans con nected safely five times. and as many runs .galloped over the plate. The final 1 score was 8 to l.
 Previous to the seventh, the work of the rival southpaws was on parity, and l the advantage of the Pelicans was due to poor work behind the Baron finger. But | Hess remained steady throughout, and his opponent did not. Thus was nailed the third. successive Pelican victory in Birmingham.
 There were no exceptional features to the game. The fielding of the visitors was of the gult-edge variety, but for which, in the first and second innings, the Barons might have established lead large enough to checkmate the runs the Pels scored in the latter half. In the ninth, Butcher hit a home run, but as it had no bearing on the result of the game. it passed by having made only an incidental impression.
 The first run of the game was scored in the third. Pope, who has done great work both in the field and at the bat dur ing the current series, opened with single through short. Hess would have gone out willingly on his sacrifice, but McGivray, having handled that part of the ball on which Gilroy had expector- ated, threw a splitter to first. Rohe then sacrificed the two and on Bars out from short to first, Pope scored.
 The Barons tied the scone in their half of the fourth Two were down when Me Gilvray worked Hess for a pass Me Gilvray then stole second on a half de- lay Elliott got his fifth consecutive nit in two games. and McGilyray scored.
 From that point until the seventh. the game waxed warmly. Then the Pelicans proceeded to draw away. Pope again started the trouble. He drew a walk, Rohe tripled after Hess had famed. Pope scored. Gilroy settled to his task, however, and the inning closed without further incident.
 But in the eighth, the Pelicans ham mered the ball into every corner of the field, scoring five runs. Callahan opened with a single to right, Kirke sacrificed and Deane tripled. Callahan scored. Angiemier singled, scoring Doane. Pepe singled sharply to left Hess lined to Elliott, who dropped the ball after a fast sprint. With the bases full, Rohe flied out to Mcbride, Angiemier scoring. Barr singled to center, and Pope and Hess scored. Barr went out at second, en- deavorng to stretch his hit.
 In the ninth, Sexton pitching, Butcher connected after the count was "three and two" and the ball, gliding over the head of Shortstop Yantz, continued its course to the fence.
 It was an awful wallop.
 The Barons connected with Hess often in the early innings, but failed to take ad- vantage of opportunities. Later. there were no opportunities.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

1 mingham are displaying the proper spirit
 The patronage is good in spite of re- cent reverses The average citizen seems lfto realize that the team is in terrible "hole" and that the only chance it has to get out lies in the actions of the fans themselves.
 This fighting for the team in the grand stand will do a great deal. And the great majority Is fighting gamely.
 The great majority is showing the game spirit which is characterizing the man agement and the players themselves.
 If the entire strength of the Barons we're pitted against the Pelicans the games would be more interesting.
 The Pelicans have a good team, but in the beginning the Barons could have coped with them.
 The management and everyone else knows that an infielder, an outfielder and couple of pitchers are needed badly.
 Efforts to get them are being made at the present time. They will be acquired just as soon as possible.
 Not for the management-for the man agement can stand it's own misfortunes- but for the players themselves, we urge those whose dispositions are prone to knock to stop and remember.
 The team is going as well as it can. Every man, as far as we know, Is work ing his head off for victory. If there is a ''quitter" in the lot we have failed to see shim.
 There is absolutely no doubt but that the association will continue to get men. until there is winning team in Birming- ham. 4#a. ....
 As fast as men are injured others will be acquired.
 The management which displays such disposition should be upheld by every fan--every man in Birmingham
 It is the disposition of the ideal sports man. H. W. R.

Last night we received a letter. It was contained in blue envelope. Its perfume was violet.
 It was from a ''tin horn" gambler. It was from one of the cheapest and most abject member of the green cloth' profession.
 It was unsigned.
 The writer was very sore, although in his opening paragraphs he sought to be- guile us with sham praise.
 With feint praise he was dawning us. It was a miserable story of lost shekels. He had wagered a small bet that the Barons would win. But Wilhelm was wild, and the~Barons lost.
 The defeat within itself was only an incident.
 The loss of his wager was as an up-' heaxaI in the stock exchange to count less thousands.
 Ittuuined him. < | And he bIeated like a stuck goat. I The sky lost it's rosy tint. The world assumed 8 black aspect.
 And he had to register kick. He, kicked to us.
 But he left us in the dark as to This identity.
 But his trade and his characterf were stamped plainly in every syllable The ut tered. . It is too bad that just at that time anyone should swing the hammer in the Baron camp.
 There Is utterly no reason.
 The management has shown a most hearty spirit of cooperation and the play CTS, when you consider the circumstances, are doing finely.
 The management has spent it's money liberally.
 It is preparing to spend more. Tn justice to the great majority itl should be stated that the fans of Bir-

GAMBLING ON BASEBALL
By BILL AK

The gamblers are reaping a great har- vest on account of the injuries of the Barons.
 They are whooping 'em up.
 They are so confident that the team will lose that they press publicity their anxiety to catch suckers" For instance, it was no secret yesterday in the grand stand at Redwood that the odds were 50 to 35 in favor of the Pelicans.
 They were like vultures on battlefield.
 You could hear them crying aloud their satisfaction at every hit of the visitors. They were gathering in easy money.
 Some time ago R. H. Baugh, president of the local club, said that he would write to Judge Lane in case the gamblers got busy this season. They are busy now. The letter will probably be writ ten today.
 The baseball "tin horns" have waxed strong in Birmingham for several years.
 There has never been an effort made to nut them out of business, although the
