With the usual unkind consideration
given youn gstcr trying to gain posi-
ton in fast company Birmingham scored
six runs in the second session off Recruit
Babe" Adams and drove himsfrom the
slab. Possessing nothing more than a
large supply of wildness he fell before the
onslaught of the fierce slashes of the
Barons. Boyd. twirling for Birmingham,
pitched consistently in the pinches and
scored an easy victory, to /.
Manning, who had been playing short
for the Billikens. was switched to the slab
and for six innings allowed but three
hits and no runs. Although II is prob
able that the Barons would have Sc
cured more safeties had not the six runs
been scored off Adams, the shoitstop
twirled in fine fettle. Manager Dobbs
succeeded in giving II of his brewny ath-
letes exercise. Gribbens was switched to
short when Manning mounted the slab and
later went behind the bat while Earl
Bagby succeeded him at athe short field.

Jimmy Johnston fielded in sensational
style for the Barons, grabbing several
ticks which looked like safeties. In the
eighth inning, with two on bases, he
made a spectacular running catch of Dam
zig's long hoist near the fence. In the
fourth. after a long run, he grabbed
