Memphis, June 30.-(Speclal. Omar
Hardgrove returned to the box today
and the champion Birminghams added
another victory to their nourishing
string, the score being 8. to against
Memphis. Parsons pitched the entire
game, though he showed absolutely
nothing in the way of bafflers from the
very start.
In the opening four innings the visi-
tors made 10 hits These they manu-
faetured into seven runs, which put the
game on the proverbial ice. Every
member of the visitors with the ex-
ception of Mcdonald and Hardgrove hit
safely one or more times Messenger
went hog wild with the bat. In FIVE
times up he doubled, tripled, singled
twice and turned in a neat sacrifice
Mcbride wrenched off three hits, in
cluding a double. Abstein added to the
gaiety of the batting fiesta by plant
ing a homer without the boundaries of
the park.
Hardgrove Begins a Puzzle
Hardgrove was unhittable for four
innings, but when his team jumped to
the fore with such commanding lead,
he eased up with the result five locals
found 1t less difficult to get on the
causeways.
Messengers double scored Marcan,
who had singled in the first. To start
the second, Mcbride doubled. Mayors
two base blow brought him home.

05 HE predicted change may
come. Should Ray Boyd show
= that he possesses the former
collection of artful twists and
bendors against the Pelicans'
tkere win probaly be a change In
the Baronial ranks. While many
will be surprised at the rearrange-
ment should Boyd show form. the
bold and battle SCARED machine
will be on a keen edge for another
pennant fight.
Persuading Boss Murphy to sever
one of the famous fingers from his
salary roll Mogul Rick Woodward
seems to have fulhlled the purpose
of his mission to the big show.
Keen in hopes of landing another
bunting to supplant the rag OF 1872,
on the towering perch in Rickwoods
owner Woodward is ready to
strengthen should Boyd deliver in
Pelicanville
The problem, whilch has always
faced the magnates of the Southern,
is not paying the price demanded
by the majors for the players but
tweedling the players into cavort-
ing for the ssoo stipend. This little
figure. which appears large to the
vast majority, does not appease the
ambition of the big leaguers as an
ordinary pitcher viii draw from
from $500 to $500 a month in the
higher ranks.
Three pitchers were offered to
owner Woodward and either of the
three will prove "A bear in the

an experienced pitcher and Will

should he agree to journey SOUTH"
ward. But If Molesworth does land
either of the three moundsmen, he
will have club that will cope with
the most formidable aggregation in
the circuit.
BY all laws of the game should
one of the trio be secured from the
Cubs, one of the largest salary
drawers on the Barons must be
dropped There is little logic In the
thought that one of the younger
pitchers will be canned, for then
the salary would exceed the, re-
stricted limit with the acquisition
of the major Lacquer. Molesworth is
up to the limit with his present
club.
Thus, all depends on Boyd's show
ing. IL the youngster can adminis-
ter in his old time form, the twirl-
er will come Otherwise the present
staff will remain intact, or Thomp
son will be resigned. At present
the collegian is on the ineligible
list, awaiting a trial of Ray Boyd.
For the chubby Baron boss admits
that he will be unable to cover the
spitballist unless he shows better
form than he evidenced on the last
appearance.
Molesworth does not expect
phenomenal game from the former
star and If he shows that he will
round to form within a few days,
Boyd will be retained. But should
the trial demonstrate that the arm
has little chance to recover its lost
stamina, colleglan Thompson will
be added to the Baronial crew.
Perhaps the former college star
has discovered that the older heads
can relate several little pointers on
the game, which he never learned
in the gruelling contests with the
rah-rahs. The least inclination of
the youngster to gain knowledge
will be answered by the crafty
hurlers, for the older pitchers real
ize that he needs knowledge. All
he lacks is this experience, for
Thompson has the stuff.
