 Propst, the star twirler of the High school, had little trouble in holding the Bessemer boys and allowed them only four hits. While Waters yielded the same number, Propst kept them scattered Not Bessemer man reached first until the seventh inning.
 In the third Basore was passed and was sacrificed to second by Denson, took third on a passed ball, and scored on Zieminskis single who went out trying to stretch it into double. Godstein was pinked in the ribs, stole second and scored on Wells single. Wells going ta second on the throw-in. He scored min ute later on Cargile's eror. This ended the scoring. High school got men on bases several times but Water frightened like drum and there was nothing doing.
 Bessemer rallied in the first of the ninth and threatened to score. Waters subbed for Lewis and laid down a slow grounder that went for a hit, and went to second or Randall's hit over second. It looked bad for the High school, but Hanby saved the day by circus catch of Car giles short fly back of second and a

Fritz of Memphis, Keupper and Anderson of Nashville, Covalesl<i and Benton of Chattanooga, Crabble. Mayer and Johns of Atlanta, are a few of the portwheel- CTS in the circuit.
 It is unfortunate when team has too many men who bat from the off, side of the platter.
 Wilhelm started out to break the record of Anderson of Nashville, who, against Chattanooga the other day won game in spite of the fact that he gave II bases on balls.
 Wilhelm in six innings gave seven bases and before a man was out in the seventh his total number of gifts was ten.
 When he retired from the box. in spite of what he had done, the score favored Birmingham. 3 to l.
 Trough succeeded in the seventh with the bases full and nobody out He walked the first man who faced him. forcing in a runner. Then he re- tired the side without another run.
 The eighth was without incident. In the ninth two went down easily. Then single occurred. Then a triple tied the score.
 Montgomery had little trouble win ming out in the tenth.
 Trough made an excellent start-but finished badly.
 The Barons are in need of pitchers. Pitchers should be obtained as soon as possible.

Butcher was endeavorng to score from third on a fiyout, and "Rowdy' knocked him out, but fell wounded himself.
 Elliott expects to be in the game again in a short while. He states that the team Is playing good ball, but suffering from bad luck and hitting slump
 He states that he can't see wherein either the Seagulls or the Pelicans have any edge on the Barons. He thinks that the locals will rank with the best in the league when the hurts are well and the team Is going good again.
