Barons in Hard Rows

The Barons' chances to win the pen that they will have three idle days next week.
 While the Barons are resting the Peli- cans will be playing the Gulls, and as lightning seldom strikes twice in the same place, it is probable that the former will rave a soup from the bones of the latter. However, there is always a chance of Campbell and Demaree flinging the har- poon into any old team, and as long as there is chance, there is reason for hope.
 And another factor Is working against the Barons. too. Tomorrow, the locals tackle the Pelicans in Birmingham While the leaders are scrapping among them- selves for three days, the Bilkens will be battling the Gulls. Should the Barons and Pels divide the series, and the Billi- kens mop with the Gulls, the locals will be in danger of losing second place.
 The Barons have an opportunity to win the pennant in spite of the fact that for the remainder of the season the schedule is against them. That chance, however will dwindle away unless the Barons win the series from the Pelicans and from the Billl1ens when they meet that bunch next week. And today's game is of great importance. '

WILL PRESENT
 STRONG FOOTBALL BUNCH

the goodly array expected apparently all that Is needed to fill out is good man at fullback, but even at this Coach McGugin could again put Metz ger in at this role ,>and in any event it looks like an outfit strong at every point. Besides there is reported as headed toward Vanderbilt neighbor- ing prep school fullback who. if his prep record is to be relied upon has everything a real full should possess. Several other likely men are said to be expected from nearby schools, including couple of excellent ,linemen of un- usual ability and experience. Wander blt hardest games doubtless are with Michigan, Georgia and Mississippi the Sewanee contest, from preseason fig uring, promising to be a lighter bout, as the Tigers return but few old men, and those for the most part without great ability. It is understood how ever, that several likely new men will be found in the purple squad when it reports September 14.

Throughout the game Llewel- lyn twirled great ball. In every in- ming but one there was a Hunter on bases, but no one crossed the pan, due to Llewellyn's pitching.

How Barons Landed

The Gulls were helpless from that point to the end of the game going out in regu- lar order save in the eleventh. when Swacina swatted one sharply to left. The Barons threatened in the ninth when McGilvray reached first on an error and Yantz singled. lnsthe tenth Trough was safe on an error, and Molesworth singled But in the eleventh things broke exactly as they should have from a local stand point. McGilvray opened with a double to left, and after Yantz had flied out to the same territory, Hanna stung one viciously over third. McGilyray scored the winning run.
 For the final game, Demaree and Speer will probably be chosen to pitch.

 But it is doubtful if there has ever been another race in this lea que in> which three teams have good oppor- tunities to win the pennant even up to the last week of play
 Birmingham has chance. Montgom- cry has a chance. And the Pelicans, while having a better chance than either of their competitors. have good chance, also, to slip.
 It promises to be sensational even up to the last day. H. w. R.

SCHEDULE OPERATES AGAINST
 BARONS' ULTIMATE SUCCESS

Monday morning, for instance, they made 12 hits. scored nine runs, stole eight bases, and had no fielding error against them-and failed to win. Yes terday afternoon they made 15 hits, scored eight runs, stole four bases and made no error, They won by a, narrow margin in extra innings. |. In each instance it is seen that the Barons have fielded faultless, hit hard, run the bases well and made a. large number of runs
 To the question, "Why do they have trouble in winning?" there is only one answer. The pitchers are not doing their share of theswork.
 Maxwell was woefully weak and in effective Monday morning. Yesterday afternoon. Kent showed little stuff of material; worth. Monday Speer was hit hard. Foxen held his own Monday aft ernoon, and yesterday Nafternoon Trough was strong.
 Wagner Not Coming On account of the fact that Maxwell drew his salary for the entire month, 1t will be impossible for the Barons to claim Wagner. whom Charlie Frank is preparing to turn back to Birmingham or to release.
 Four pitchers, however, can easily fling the games which remain. There are but four more this week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week there will be no games. Thursday, Fri day and Saturday will see Foxen, Trough and Kent mount the hill fresh and anxious after their rest
 According to the plan. Wagner will be disposed of when Frank reaches Bir- mingham, and Tom Fisher and young Hill of Anniston taken on. It is prob able that Frank will use Hill in one of the five games his team will play against Mobile, and that T. Fisher will be held for a possible emergency.

It required the regular Baron team, augmented by one emergency swat man and one relief pitcher, eleven in nings to defeat the Mobile Gulls yes- terday afternoon.
 However. they won the victory and this is the balm in Gilead. By so doing they pulled themselves a furlong further from scNla, and an ell nearer the land of wine and honey. The score was s to r
 It was a see-saw engagement, and one in which Baron hitters saved a Baron pitcher. The extra innings were necessitated on account of the sensa- 1ional fielding of Bayless and Meyers, who robbed Barons relentlessly and with rare consistency. Kent, on the mound for Birmingham, did well con sidering the fact that he had no curve ball. He was forceu to retire at the conclusion of the eighth. Thereafter, in the hands of Trough, the visitors were helpless.
 Swacina and Walsh distinguished themselves by smashing out home runs. Swacina hit other things in addition. McGilvray and Hanna did the heaviest bingling for Birmingham, and each scored three runs. The Barons gave their pitchers sensa tional support, and without an error.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-09-06
The See-Saw Battle

Campbell was not In shape. Twice during the game he had leads of two runs On each occasion he lost his advantage, and the Barons eventually won out by clean swatting in the elev enth.
 The visitors got away in the first. After two were down. Miller singled and Swacina hit a home run In their half of the first, the Barons scored when Phelan stole home as Campbell was making one of his pet throws to first In the second they hit Campbell hard, scoring three runs In the third another was added on McGilvray's sim gle and Hanna's double.
 Then Mobile got busy. In the fifth Walsh hit his home run. In the sixth Kent was slaughtered, Bayless, Miller, Swacina and Meyers singling in row. By scoring four runs, Mobile not only overcame the Baron lead of two, but forged to the lead by two. In the eighth the Barons tied the score. Me Gilvray opened with an infield hit, and Yantz singled over first Hanna then sacrificed the runners and took first on Campbell's error. Ellam then hit wha should have been a single to center, but Yantz. thinking Bayless had caught and not trapped the ball, was forced out at third McGilvray,< however, SCOT l ing. On Elliott's fly to right Hanna | advanced from second to third. Marcan then hit to Walsh, who failed in an ef 1 fort to force Ellam at second. Hanna | scored the tying run.
