GULLS' SENSATIONAL
FINISH A WINNER


Mobile, April 17-After Memphis had
made four runs in the ninth, making
the score to 1, Mobile came to bat
and with a triple, two two-baggers,
three singles and a wild pitch, scored
five runs and won the last game with
Memphis, score to 8. The score go
irg into the ninth was i to l. With
two men out Memphis started a bat
ting rally, Krohs double, a base on
balls and singles by Jordan. Schweitzer,
Ward and Abstein scoring four runs.
jacobson opened Mobiles ninth with a
triple. Clark doubled. scoring him.
Paulet singled, sending Clark to third.
Robertson singled, scoring Clark. Par
sons was here substituted for Kroh,
while Haigh went in to catch. Cor
bett, sent to bat for Brown. was taken
cut with two balls and no strikes
called and Hogg, a left handed batter,
sent in. He walked. Campbell, a left
handed batter, was then sent to bat
for Kirby and doubled to right, scoring
Paulet Starr singled scoring Hogg
and sending Campbell to third. Par

Athens. Ca. April -(special)-John
Norris duplicated Corker's fine perform
ance of Wednesday by holding Alabama
tc two hits today, while the Red and
Black showed an even dozen tallies across
the pan, as the result of 10 well directed
safeties. When Morris walked the first
nan up, followed by an infield hit,
double steal and the only clean wallop
of the game. the Alabamians registered
their only runs of the contest. The rest
of the game Morris had them eating out
of his hand. CHM. Harrison, Hutchens
and Clements got three hits each during
the afternoon. Clements, Henderson and
GIarrison also pulled off some pretty
fielding plays during the afternoon. Ala :
bama was simply outelassed and to go
iIto detail or how the runs were scored
would be tiresome. They were practically
all made by clean hitting.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-04-18

The first scribes to send up that OLD
cry. Robbed by the umpire" were
those of Mobile.
In recent game won by Memphis,
1 to 0, jacobson of Mobile hit the ball
over the fence. Had this ball been
judged fair Memphis would not have
won the game. Umpire Pat Wright de-
clared it be foul" Thereupon the
scribes proceeded to take issue with
him.
The Item says: "Jacobsons hit
might have looked like a foul to
Wright, but to the great majority
of fans, the drive was fair all the
time"
The Register adds: "The fans
thought Wright was wrong and
left the park grumbling and dis
satisfied. Far be 1t from us to con-
tinually take issued with and try to
ridicule an umpire. But the ball,
nevertheless. undoubtedly looked
fair when last seen from the press
box"
The above Is recorded because It
proves that the honor of pulling the
first robbed by the umpire" story OF
the season goes to Mobile.
Dick Jemison, in the Atlanta Con-
stitution, disagrees with the other At
lanta scribes in regard to the Barons.
He writes as follows:
The showing of the Birmingham
Barons in the series with the
Crackers is not an evidence of their
real strength. 1t takes hot wealth
er to bring out the best there Is
in practically every member of the
team, especially Prough Boyd,
Foxen and Hardgrove of the hurl-
ing corps, and without good pitch
ing any club looks bad Atlanta
fans should not exult too soon.
Moley's Barons will be In the rum
ming You can gamble on it,"
And in another spot he says:
Carroll, utility man with the
Barons last season and playing
third base this year, has looked
bad in the series with the locals,
but Carroll has been playing on
nerve alone. He ought to have
been home in bed instead of on

or to the discredit of Foster. At any
rate, it is pretty safe to judge that
Foster has little regard and less af-
fection for Manager Smith
In the Butler predietion-that the
Crackers are 20 to l bet for the
pennant-there seems to be nothing
sufficiently irritating to cause friends
to part without the "ae fond kiss"
OF course, Butler was little too
sanguine In regard to the Crackers.
1t Is our belief that whereas he said
the Crackers were a 20 to l bet TO
win, he really meant to say that the
Iookouts were a 20 to l bet to finish
below the very loftiest bough.
Had he made the latter prediction,
we would have agreed. and it is very
probable that Foster would have
shaken his hand, also.
Leaving the dispute of the seribes
of our neighboring city without the
hope that they will soon make up
and live happily every afterwards,
We move along to that other momen-
tous affair-that between Cobb and
the president of the Detroit club.
The situation is so acute that Nayin
cannot now, with deeency, knuckle
down. He cannot Afford for the good
of the game. TO give Cobb what he
demands, and he cannot afford to beat
the devil around the stump by trad
ing him. And, on the other hand,
the fans, with the Tigers slipping
every day. are clamoring for Cobb.
and the outlook is that with the Geor-
gia Peach among the missing the
stockholdersj of the Tiger outfit will
lose large sum of money before
the conclusion of the season.
In this difference between a mag
nate and a star, 1t is interesting to
speculate on what action, II any, the
players fraternity will take. The fra
ternity was organized for the spe-
cifiic purpose of standing between the
owner and the player. of adjusting
differences, and putting an end to
financial controversies.
Mr.. Fultz. who IS president of the
fraternity. has neither done nor said
anything. His effort of some weeks
ago to prevent the filming or suspen-
sion of a player without a hearing
before the league directors, resulted
in a dismal il not crushing failure.
Unless he soon eXerts himself and at
tains a footing in some regard, he
and his fraternity will In the near
future, attract even less attention
than at tue present time.
II must not be dedueed from the
foregoing that we are opposed to
intra-family or inter-family disputes,
or that we are anxious that the pres-
ent wounds be healed. On the other
hand, we are glad of each fresh out
break. without a dispute, life would
be, perhaps, one long sweet song, but
there would come a time when even
song would grow monotonous.

The release of these two cuts the

B. H. S. to Play Bessemer

This afternoon the baseball team of
the Birmingham High school will play
Bessemer High school the second game
of three-game series.
Bessemer defeated the Birmingham
boys two weeks ago by the score OF
I2 to 0. Since then Coach Courleux
has added great deal of strength to
his team and he is expecting the score
to be the reverse.
Bobbitt and Harmon will occupy the
mound for the Crimson and White.
while McAdory will probably be the
selection of the Bessemer manager.
The Birmingham lineup will be COM
posed of Beasley. Jones, Norton. Bish-
cp, Jenkins, Cooper, Myatt. Bobbit, Han
non and Davis.
