The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-25
By WILL R. HAMILTON

New Orleans, April 24.-(Special.)-Y outh was pitted against the other thing at Pel- ican park this afternoon and youth won in a canter. Trough, the elongated Baron, pitched a great game for his club and ming Breitenstein, the leagues veteran pitcher hurled his first game of the championship season for the Pels and was touched up freely from start to finish.
 The Barons made 12 single and ran up tally of five runs.
 There's not much to tell about except Prough's pitching. He looked as big as the Alps out there in the pitchers box and he was just about as difficult of ne- gotiation as the Alps. He mixed fast hall with a sharp break with slow ball that just fioated over and looked so easy He had good control but didn't go in so strong for strike outs. That's what made him look doubly good.
 He seemed satisfied to let the felders assist him a bit and was in such soft going all the time that the fielders didn't
 
 keep the Pels from getting on bases.
 This Trough lad is surely some pitcher. If he wasn't there wouldn't be big chipels n the base hit column opposite the names of such swatsmen as Butcher, Callahan, Kirke and Doane. All of these worthies of more than local reputation as biff az lists went to bat four times and four times they failed to reach first on any thing resembling a bingle. Kirke once got there on an error. Callahan, Doane and Angermeier were batting leaders of their leagues last year, you know, and Kirke hit some several points above 800 also.
 Manager Frank is playing systematic baseball against the Birmingham club and when he heard that right-hander was going to perform for the Barons lie gave Barr. a right-handed hitter. per- mission to sit on the bench and sent Walter Doane, a left-handed batter, out to play his first game for the Pels. Doane played right field. Franks insight" management didn't net him anything noticeable for -Doane was just as power less as the rest before Trough.
 If New Orleans batsmen were having a funeral at the bat the Barons were hay ing a regular Fourth of July picnic. Every man on the Baron list except Catcher Pratt is down with hit and Pratt got to first once on fielder's choice and scored on an error
 Yantz was the shining kid, though. He went to bat four times. The first time he walked and the next three times he bin- gied safely. Just to keep busy he stole couple of bases by the way. The Barons also had quite bag day stealing session. Besides Yantzs two, Molesworth and Pratt got one each.
 It was observed at the start that the rather cold weather affected Breitenstein considerably but he held his end up well until the fourth, when hits by Mcbride, Marcan and Yantz put Mcbride over. The Barons got another in the fifth on a hit by Mowery, a sacrifice by Phelan and a single by Molesworth. The sixth was Breitenstein's worst inning. Marcan and Yantz hit safely. and when Breiten- stein gobbled up Pratts bunt and tried to chunck Marcan out at third he threw wild and Marcan counted. Trough then hit safely and Pratt and Yantz scored.
 Breitenstein, who usually fields his posi- ton in great shape, made another error in this inning and only some real tighten ing up kept the Rarons from scoring again.
 Manager Molesworth is expecting Schet- tier any day. He says that as soon as his present combination gets down to team work the club won't suffer so much from Ellams absence. He is looking for at least an even break on the road, crp- pied though the Barons are.,
