The Baronial pennant aspiration suf-

gruelling twin bill by the score of 2

Barons, with Foxen hurting in the first,
while the mighty Pole avoided draw
In the last round of the second battle
and trounced Gregory. The Barons
lacked the deadly wallop and were
downed by fine playing.
Although helpless before the Noogan
twirlers, the Birmingham aggregation
exhibited an alright defense, which
scared into the sensational with bril-
liant catches and daring stops. ELAN,
Mayer and Marcan led the defense in
daring, while the Barons fielded error
less throughout the 16 tense sessions.
Hurls Consistently
Southpaw William Foxen pitched con-
sistently in the first until the eighth
when he grew wild and forced in the
winning run. After a bad first round,
which yielded two markers, Gregory
settled and held the Noogans without
a run in the second. Covaleski had the
Barons at his command until the
seventh, when Marcan's triple opened
an onslaught. which yielded the one
tally With the third occupied and one
out the outlook seemed roseate for
tie but the Pole downed the side,
backed by brilliant throwing.
The wonderful fielding of the Barons
ELECTED applause from the faithful
Noogan fans.
Marcan consistently robbed the Look

Chicago, August S.-Protests against

the use of correct English some fol-
lowers of the game assert they are un-

Chattanooga, August s.-6speeial.)-The
failure of the Barons to solve the Look
outs pitchers caused the double loss. In
the three innings of the opening battle
Birmingham PLAYERS reached second base
with only one out. but failed to register.
Clifton reached third with two out ON his
triple but was left en- the sack. Grimes
proved an enigma when the Barons
reached the scoring zone.
In the second the Barons passed up
several opportunities to land and an
especially good one in the first when Me-
Donald singled. Had Messenger advanced
him to second he would have scored, for
knisely was walked and Mayer singled.
Instead Messenger forced Mcdonald and
went out attempting to steal Again in
the sixth Knisey doubled with two out.
OF course the most excellent opportunity
yielded barren results in the last inning
Facing two of the best receivers in the
league on the present trip, Bob Messen-
gers theft mark is suffering a slump.
Out of several attempts Bob has stolen
one base, the speedy gardener having

has dared to suffer before unerring whiph

The series of left-handed twrlers is also
robbng Bob of his wonderful swatting
record. Messenger has hit hardly 200 on
the present trip but may have big day
against Kroh and Howell tomorrow aft
ernoon, Messenger has driven several
line drives right at the fieders.
Had Molesworth possessed a pinch hit
ter this afternoon Birmingham would
probably have divided the programme
In the seventh inning, with ELAN perched
on third a pinch hitter could have been
substituted to hoist a long fly or drop a
slow grounder. Either would have scored
the speedy shortstop from third but Cliff
ton and Gregory were forced to hit at
critical stages despite their weak hit
ting.

Out in Order
| In the ninth the Barons went out in
order without reaching first. A curtailed
battle consisting of seven rounds was
billed for the second fight with Gregory
and Covaleskie opposing each other. After
long retirement with a sore arm, Greg
ory came back with a neat assortment Of
, twists and benders. The Pole pitched his
usual brilliant battle, and it was pitiful
to see the ease with which he disposed Of
Birmingham in every round until the sew

The damage to Gregory was accom-

drove In two runs. Walsh hit a fast
spit ball to center for a single and reached

walked after lengthy stay at the plate
while Coyle sacrificed both to third Then
the peppery Elberfeld walloped safely TO
center and both runners crossed the
plate. Forced at third by Johnson's rap,
Elberfeld died while Johnson was caught
stealing.
Gregory Hurls Well
While covalessi continued his deadly
moving down of the Barons, the Look
outs were unable to hit Gregory safely,
although several line drives were cap
tured by the Baron outfielders.
But in the seventh. with one out, Mar

and carried to the stands while ELAN
took third. With this serious proposition
confronting him. the Pole was wet with
perspiration and fighting like cornered
demon. After fouling several strikes Cliff
ton reached first on balls.
Gregory fouled the first but hoisted the
second with aesvicious wallop to right
field. The ball curved just bit out of
the line and dropped foul. After taking
two balls Covalesld curved the next across
and Gregory struck out As a last re-

HIGH PRICE FOR FRESH EGGS
Farmers Should Study and Familiar
ize Themselves With Condi-
tions During Winter.

The high prices paid for eggs dur
ing the winter months, says an Idaho
bulletin, should encourage tie farm
ers to a greater effort in attempting
to supply the demand There is al
ways a demand for fresh eggs, and
during the winter months the supply
is not sufficient to meet the demand
1t is often impossible to buy any
thing but storage eggs, and to the
average customer fresh eggs are far
more desirable. So much so that
fresh eggs are worth from 5 cents to
10 cents more than storage eggs. The
farmer is the man to supply this de-
mand and enjoy the neat profit which
is possible from winter eggs.
Now is the time to prepare for win
ter eggs. The flock should be gotten
into suitable winter quarters, or lay
ing houses, and fed for eggs. Hens
will not lay when permitted to run
about the farm in the wet and cold.
