Barons Take Second From Gulls
BARON CLUB CALLS OFF
 TRIP TO PLAY IN HAVANA
STARS COULD NOT ACCOMPANY THE CLUB AND WATT WAS TOO LONG

The Baron team has called off the trip to Cuba, after the close or the Southern league season. Finding it impossible to secure the services Of Smith, Johnston and Almeida together with Manager Molesworths leadership, the agreement with Promoter Jiminez to take the trip was broken. After the close of the season all will depart for their resi- tstive homes
 Yesterday 1t was learned khat Jimmy Johnston and Clarence Smith could not so on the trip. as the White Sox wished to have them report at the close of the season. Manager Molesworth decided that his services were needed to gather in likely youngsters for next season, and Cincinnati wanted Almeida to report to the Reds. Thus four stars and the main attraction could not accompa1s the club, and so the trip was called off.
 The New orleans oluo of the Southern league have signed up contract with Promoter Jiminez to play in october, and so the date will not be missed. Yantz had decided that he coudl not go along and 1t was either up to the Bir- mingham players to get some others to accompany them or to go without a com plete team The Cubans would not stand for this and postponement was ordered.
 The greatest inconvenience that the club had was to remain intact until Oc tober 1. when 1t sailed. It was intended that the Birmingham team make barn storming trip through Alabama and Georgia, meeting the strong semi-profes- sional teams. Marcan, who was lousins for these dates. found that the semi professional teams would all be disbanded by September 15 and that the Parons would have to remain idle for 15 days at their own expense.
 Finding this to be very expensive and that 1t was impossible to hold the club intact, the trip was declared off and Ray Ryan was notified to this end.

ing out three-base hit down the third base line off of Pug" Cavet the dou- ble-tointed southpaw. Carroll beat out a bunt to first base and Marcan scored when Carroll and Starr tripped on the grass.
 In the second the timeliness and the accuracy with which the second sack CT swung his ash brought home Johnston The speed marvel beat out bunt in front of the platter when Cavet ham dled 1t too slowly to prevent a safe ty Ellam produced neat sacrifice but Trough struck out. Then Marcan chirped in with hit over second base and Jimmy cavorted to the platter with the second tally.
 Trough had the Seagulls at his mercy through the first eight sessions But two hits had been garnered off his delivery. One in the first by Starr and another in the fourth past third by ODell constituted the collection. He had been strong and had received per- feet backing from the Baron Aid so- ciety. But in the ninth he weakened or the Gulls drew stronger. Starr opened with a short line drive to left field which Mcbride touched but could not hold. Al 'oDell doubled to the scoreboard and the Seagull captain crossed the platter with the first run. Then Jacobson beat out bunt to AL meida, which was handled slowly. Long singled to Carroll, driving O'Dell across the plate, but Jacobson was held at sec ond.
 Then Boyd was sent in and the rest of the story has been told.
 
 Marcan no doubt gave the Barons the chance for the victory. Boyd saved it and Yantz won it. Through his two timely hits in the first and second inning Mar can scored one of the runs and drove the other across the platter. By magnifi- cent exhibition of pitching and iron bound nerve Boyd dragged the game from the slough of despair and finished with colors flying. The timely swat of Yantz won the battle after Bill McGilvray had beat out the hit to short.
 Mobile used three pitchers and a pinch hitter to win. Cavet had pitched in won derfu form after the second. but Man ager Finn thought it best to send Pete O Brien to hit in the pinch in the eighth with Dunn on first. Then Luhrson pitched the eighth and held the Barons to no runs and no hits. Berger twirled in the ninth and lost.
 Several were injured but none seri- ously. Time was called by the umpire in the second when Johnston twisted his ankle sliding into second. In the first Carroll and Starr collided at first base and both were injured Starr was spiked, while Carroll was bruised. However. neither player had to be removed from the game.
 The fielding was brilliant. Three fast double plays were made, one on a tech- nical error seldom effected. In the fifth, |'waIsh. first up, was walked. Dunn hit a
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-08-30

long line drive to Mcbride, who made a very pretty catch after long run. Walsh had kept on running, and when Mcbride pulled down the swat he was between sec ond and third. When the catch was made he turned for first and cut across the dia- mond. Marcan held the ball on second base and the umpire ruled him out for not touching second going back.
 Again in the seventh. with one down, Long was walked. Paulette grounded out to Marcan, who threw to Ellam and via McGllvray the former Giant was put out. The first sacker himself completed g double play unassisted when Carroll lined out with Marcan on first.
 Ellam, Marcan and Walsh fielded in sensational style. while the Baron out field gobbled everything in sight. There is not one fan in a hundred who will not agree that yesterdays game was the most thrilling exhibition ever seen on Redwood Field.

INJURIES HAVE PREVENTED
 THE PHILLIPS FROM SHOWING

Every member of the team has suffered in some manner from injury this season except the secretary of the club, Shetts- line. On account of the above injuries Manager Dooin is putting up very bat tered array of warriors.
 Dode Paskert has been shifted to second sack, position he never filled before. cravath has been moved from right to center and others have been shifted and shunted about. At the present time but 15 ablebodied men are on the payroll and a goodly number are young pitchers However, Dooin has several to report soon. Frank Gilhooley and Whitted an outfelder from Jacksonville. will report Monday.
 Many believe that had not so many been injured Dooin would have h.s club up with the Cubs. He has had his share of i'll luck in 1911 and 1912.

Although the Phillies were touted as be- ing most redoubtable aggregation when the season begun, misfortunes have placed the club entirely out of the running. Per sistently Jnx, hoodoo or other illwisher has followed the Phillies led by Red Dooin and their failure to land in first division for the season isn't surprising.
 Just within the last two weeks Knabe suffered a broken hand. Hans Lobert's knee was twisted so badly that 1t will be necessary for him to leave the game for the next two weeks The sorrel topped manager split finger while catching one of his young phenoms. Addie Brennan, the star finger of the Phillies, is down in the hospital with an attack of diph- theria, while even Trainer Dee cannot help the Quakers on account of poison ivy.

Fighting Dick Gilbert, the Colorado middieweight. will meet Bob Brown of Pittsburg Monday night at the Jefferson theatre in 10 round bout. The past rec ords of Gilbert, as shown from the press reports, indicate that he Is very able and aggressive fighter and Bob Brown Is also said to be a very good pugilist.
 If the men live up to their previous rec ords. their managers state that the fight fans of Birmingham will see one of the classiest bouts ever pulled off in Bir- mingham. The men have been fin training and their managers declare that they

should be in excellent trim for the battle.
 From the press reports of Gilbert's pre- vious fights he is q very elean-cut and aggressive fighter, possessed with good punch and lighting speed. In the e4 bat ties he has fought he has scored six knockouts and has never received the haymaker himself He has fought more than 10 rounds and also fewer rounds, but he declares that he is at his best in a ten session bout.
 Little is known of Bob Brown, but his manager states that he has a very good record. He claims to have beaten some of the best middle weights in the ring and expects to give Gilbert hard tussle for the honors.
