The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-18

The final doubleheader between the Crackers and the Barons took the usual route. Atlanta, with the rain falling and the lightning flashes and the thunder rolling. won the first, to 9. Birmingham won the second. under fair sky to O.
 Kent pitched both games for Birmlng- ham. and did well in both. In the first, stupid work by his support permitted At- lanta to make three runs in the opening round after two men had been retired and two opportunities offered to retire the third. Miller. despite an inherent wildness, was strong in the first, al- though in the final inning when the fans got next to him, he weakened, permitting the Barons to get in such position that an additional hit would have won the game for them. In the second there oc- cured a splendid pitchers battle-a rare occurrence in these days of the rubber bal--the 'honors of which were probably equally shared by Kent and Foxen. The former was strong enough to get in no holes. The latter was strong enough to vrigsIe out of all into which he got save one.
 It was an exceedingly ugly afternoon, but in spite of the physical unpleasant ness of the work and the heaviness of the track, both teams played phenomen- ally in the field. The first game was CT rorless, and though each aggregation is in ba capOn6 neither of these errors detracted from the fineness of the play. During the aft ernoon there were several fine fielding exhibitions. Zimmerman Starred in thel first, and in the second Nolesworth made daring running catch of low hit liner which elieited warm applause from the stands.

 The Barons rallied in the seventh. Me Gilvray opened with double and after Johnston had gone out from third to first, Yantz was walked. Ellam's single, which really should have been double, filled the bases. Elliott batting for Kent. went out easily. but McGilyray scored. Marcan and Phelan were walked in sue cesson, Yantz being forced home. But Molesworth didn't hit. He popped out 10 Zimmerman.
