The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1912-08-19

Memphis August 1S.-(Special)-C.
Wordsworth and his troupe of strong and
able bodied baseballists fighting for the
cause of Birmingham spent one hour and
thirty-five minutes this afternoon in bat
tering the already muchly battered and
disarranged Turtles out of the first d.
vision and lett last night for their own
home. The fiscal reading was Birmingham
s. Memphis o.
Mr.. Boyd. hired by the Birmingham
club to chunk balls at opposing batters,
played an important part in applying the
| whitewash He exhibited all that was
necessary and looked like he might have
left something outside the park for there
was few times when the Baron hurler
seemed to he in high speed.
Three Memphis batters were able to
solve the servings of Boyd and the trio
aggregated sum of six single shots
Bernhard Makes Debut
One of the largest doings of the after
noon was the 1912 debut of William II.
Bernhard, who has been engineering the
Turtles from the board. After Netzel had
been spiked by Johnston in the third in
ming and forced to retire Tonnemann
was hauled in to defend third base and
Manager Bernhard strutted out to the left
garden, making his first appearance in a
game this season.
Parsons was hammered to such extent
in the fifth inning that Bernhard acted
the part of the good Samaritan and went
to the rescue of the battered pitcher, TAX
ing the task up in the sixth inning. In
the remaining four innings the big heav-
| er was pecked safely but once when Al
media slapped out a double In the ninth
chapter
Bernhard Allows One
| Only one run was made off Bernhard
which was the result of a base on balls,
sacrifice hit and following sacrifice fly.
| Parsons smiles began to fade In the
| fourth inning. Mcbride dedicated with
single McGivray sacrificed Mcbride
to second using a perfect bunt. john
ston shot a single into center scoring
| Mcbride and took third himself on the
timid peg of Kerr, ELAN squeezed
Johnston across and Yantz ended the
| round with a pop up to Crandall.
| The third round brought more Birming-
| ham runs and more gloom to Parsons
| Boyd led the way with triple and
| scampered home on a single by Marcan.
| Carroll placed Marcan on second with
| sacrifice and Almeida followed with
single, scoring Marcan Carroll went on
| to second himself when Merritt juggled
the return to the diamond by Kerr. Nc
| Bride lifted high one which Kerr
mer swatsman, chirped In with timely
hit scoring Almeida. Johnston ended 1t
with fly to Kerr.
Barons Score Last
When the Barons came back in the
| sixth round they faced Boss Bernhard.
The home chieftain walked ELAN, the
| first UP. Yantz followed with an at
| tempted sacrifice which Bernhard threw
| low to second trying to head off Ell
lam and all hands were safe Boyd
grounded out to first base and Ell
lam went to third and Yantz to Sec
ond. Marcan lifted one to Parsons in
| left field and ELAN beat the return
home. Carroll was an easy infield out
that ended the run-making of the day.
Turtles Only Reached Third
The nearest thing resembling Tur-
tie count was productive of Bernhard's
| labor In the sixth inning when the Tur-
tie boss got as far as third base, which
was further than any other Turtle
got during the game. Bernhard opened
with single and went to second on
similar smash by Baerwald. Crandall
was safe on a slow grounder but Baer-
wald was trapped at second while Big
Bill continued to third base.
Carroll came In for his amount of
applause when he snatched a long
drive from Abstein's bat off a sign
board in right field and all was over.
The Turtles We're more to be pitied
than censured, battling against the
league leaders with the most disar-
| ranged lineup that has appeared here
this season. Three pitchers and two
catchers were in the Turtles makeup.
