The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-05-03

In a nip and tuck and hard hitting af- fray yesterday afternoon, New Orleans got the decision over Birmingham, z to 6.
 Breitenstein and Trough were equally ineffective, though old age in the pinches was steadier and stronger than mere youth. In addition, the Barons, while sometimes being brilliant on the bases, were at other times too reckless and again too careful. The consistent base running of the Pelicans proved a winning card. Breitenstein had perfect control. Trough walked two men. Both scored.
 The game was featured by terrific swat ting by members of both clubs. Barr and Elliott got away with clean slates, the Pelican getting four swats out of four trials, and the Baron three swats fin three trials. But McGilvrays hitting. responsi- ble for three runs, and Calahan's. respon- sible for five, should probably take prece- 6ence. In fielding, the players of both ag- gregations were out of form, Mcbride let ting single by Pope go for three bags, and Callahan doing as much for Elliott. And Doane, in the ninth inning, when there was a chance that the Barons might win the game, dropped an easy fly of the stick of Molesworth.
 This so enraged the aged Breitenstein that he walked from the field. Klawitter relieved him and was effective. He com pelled Mcbride to force Molesworth al second, and caused McGilvray to retire the side on swat to Pope. The work of the Pelican shortstop, incidentally, was exceptionally good, although he made one lack of speed of Trough.
 Mowrey Breaks a Leg
 The hoodoo which has been following the Barons throughout the season got in it's fatal work again. In the third, with two down, Mowrey singled to second and stole the keystone. He was seen to slide into the bag, rebound, and lay still Kirke, his attention having been called to the injured man, stepped boldly to the prostrate figure and touched him with the ball. The Barons bore him from the field, and a surgeon learned that his right ankle was broken. Catcher Elliott who has been out of the game since his leg NdS Splhtu III 1NtW oiitduS sOliiC dd 2 ago, went to right. He subsequently starred at the bat.
 The Pelicans got away in the third Pope was walked. The Baron infield slept, and he stole second easily. Brett enstein sacrificed him to third. Rohes hit scored him. Barr singled, and Butch CTS out sent the runners up a notch Ga Ia I, Q ne hot bnt ba
 The Barons hammered Breitenstein in the fourth and the vetscan became groggy.
 Phelan opened with hit and took sec ond on passed ball. Molesworth famed Mcbride was safe on an error of Kirk McGilvray's triple to left scored Phelan and McBride. Marcan's infeld hit scored McGilvray.
 In the fifth, however, the Pelicans again took the lead. Rohe was passed and sacrificed. An out sent him to third and Calahans drive, taking a bad bound slipped through the legs of McGilvray Rohe scored
 The Barons should have finished the veteran in the fifth, but threw away the fine opportunity after scoring twice and filling the bases with but one down. Bretenstein got out of he hole chiefly as result of the splendid manner in which he fielded his position. Trough opened with a single, but started to second too late after Pope had thrown wildly to first He was out. Elliott singled and Phelan hit one over the head of Callahan for a home run. Molesworth was safe on an error of Pope, but did not score following hits by Mcbride and McGilvray. With the bases full, Marcan popped out to Breitenstein, a>-a Yantz hit one to the | same executioner. Until the ninth the Barons had no more opportunities. Rally Which Failed
