M'GILVRAY AND PLELAN
 APPROACH TOOTH HIT

The fans. finding out that McGilvray and Fhelan were practically neck and neck as far as number of hits is con- cerned, will be interested in watching the race to the conclusion. It is a toss up as tc which will reach the coveted Tooth mark first.
 Marcap and Molesworth will probably also get loo hits this season. and there is a reasonable chance for Mcbride. Last season McGilvray, Messenger, Mcbride, Molesworth and Marcan passed the 10oth mark.
 Marcag is % behind. Molesworth 9e, and Ne Bride B.

TROUGH AND MAXWELL
 DO GREAT PITCHING

Trough and Maxwell have done the hinging for the Barons this season. It IS 10 be noted that of the 45 games won, Trough and Maxwell won 22 of them, or three ess than half the total.
 When 1t is remembered that 12 pitchers have fought for Birmingham this season, ths record of the two is the more re- narkahle
 Maxwell has pitched ten games for Bir- minsham, of which number he won eight Trough ilas pitched 22 If of which result ed in Birmingham victories They are the two rest right handlers in the league. Maxwell, it is believed locally, at any rate. is the best pitcher in the league. Trough is certainly the ranking first year man
 Of the other Baron pitchers, Kent alone is at the .500 mark.

While Paige is good pitcher for certain important reasons, which the association did not make public, Foxen was preferred.
 It will be generally admitted that with Foxen in Wagners place the team will be 20 per cent strengthened. It is understood that Frank will visit Birmingham today or tomorrow and close up the deal formally. Foxen will join the Barons in Nashville and Wag- ner will at the same time join the Pels.
 Wagner last season won .60S per cent of his games for Birmingham This spring, however. he sustained a seri- ous accident and has never been able to regain his effectiveness. He is one of the most popular players who ever wore local coat.

EXCITING FAMILY RACE FOR 100 HITS-JOHNSTON, YANTZ AND ELLIOTT GOING WELL-MOLEY CATCHES TWO

The Parons, not considering the game yesterday afternoon, are hitting at .24I stride.
 Two weeks ago their hitting average was .z47.
 In two weeks they have played B games, of which seven were won and six lost. In the B games they made only 30 runs, and got but 95 hits.
 The fact that the Barons more than broke even on the IS games is due to the excellent pitching of Maxwell and Trough and the fine offensive work of Phelan and Johnston.
 Of the seven victories, Trough won l. and Maxwell ?, both having perfect rec ords for the period.

Memphis. July 5.-(Special.) l.)-With plen- ty of speed mixed with his famous slow ball Bert Maxwell moved the Memphians down in the first of the series today much easier than the 3-2 score would indicate.
 Not until the eighth inning could the home folks connect with Maxwell Then 3 line drive which would have been an ordinary single but for Molesworth's desperate attempt to snatch it at his shoe tops was stretched into triple and the scoring began. Only two runs, however, resulted before Maxwell recovered control and he finished the game in command of the situation.
 Maxwell really impressed local fans with the idea that he is sure to get an- other major league hearing which incl dentally will be his third, should such thing happen, as in former years he has been twice purchased or drafted from the southern circuit on account of just such brilliant slab performances as he ex- libited today.
 Only one extra man faced Maxwell up to the eighth. Bob Miller, an Arkansas recruit, who was summoned to first base for the Turtles. when Courtney was forced to third owing to Altman's illness, was the solitary Turtle to connect safely.
 The Rarons accorded Maxwell perfect support, which helped. but in the eighth Miller again sampled Maxwell for the hit that Molesworth overran, netting three bases. crandall then doubled to left ana Adams singled to center. which explains the cnly runs made by Memphis, as Max well settled and struck out the. mighty swalm after Allen had proved an easy victim. It was nip and tuck between the twirlers until Phelan singled as a starter for the sixth. McBride's and Johnston's singles pushed Mcbride over after Me Gilvray's grounder to Allen had forced Phelan at third.
 Ire game was clinched in the eighth when Phelan got hit. McBride's two- bagger and McGnvray's single explains how Phelan and Mcbride came home. 1sowa." Elliott caused the usual gloom to settle over the local rooters when he pegsed to Ellam in the fifth inning, catch ing Courtney off second. This was the eighth Turtle detected here this season
 by Elliott in snoozing act, all of them
 at second or third bases.
