BARONS CLINCH VICTORY IN CLOSING ROUNDS

Big Dave Roth held the high-f1ying Gulls we'll in check during the following rounds, but the Baronial count was sweled in the sixth and eighth. A walk issued to Stew art in the sixth provided the third marker. Mcbride advanced Charles, the Red, to second with sacrifice. Coyington hit a grounder to Dobard, which Etewart hur- died en route. The shortstop fumbled the rap, but recovered quickly and heaved a third to catch Stewart. When it struck the runner in the dorsal cavity, both were safe. The squeeze play the ma neuver that virtually won the pennant for Birmingham in 1906, was resurrected when Elam bunted down the first base line and Stewart scored by daring slide around Schmidt. The Gull backstop did not believe that Stewart had touched the plate and chased after him. Covington spurted toward third. hoping to catch schmidt unawares. but failed as. a rapid return nipped him at third. TragesseI grounded out and retired the Barons.
 In the eighth, activities were started after two were out Keeley walked Gov ington. Ellam hit to center field and Bris Lord begged to nail Covington at third The throw was perfect, but Covington jared the ball from ODells hands and was declared safe. Tragesser singled to left and Covington tallied.
 Every run scored by Birmingham was begun by receiving a base on balls. El- lam, in the third, Marcan in the fifth, Stewart in the sixth and Covington in the eighth received pass and later scored.

INDDIE CYRIL McDoNALD's slash
 ing drives enabled Birmingham to
 - score premier victory over the Mobile Guls and draw within one-half game of second place. Big Dave Roth, backed by sensational support, yielded but five scattered hits to the Mobile marksmen while Birmingham recorded six timely hits off keeley's damp slants and triumphed, to 1. It was 4 battle of thrills The two pitchers twirled at top speed, while the outfielders sent sem sation after sensation through the en- thusiastie followers with long running catches and daring stabs.
 The brawny Baron third sacksr virtual ly downed Mobile, sngle-handed. The first and second runs were attributed to his two timely walops. in the third ses- sion, with both aggregations in a hectic 0-0 deadlock, Mcdonald larruped a fast drive over second and enabled Ellam to register. The Mobile club spurted in the fifth and tied the count. But again, Ed die showed the Barons to the fore when. in the last section of the fifth, he singled to left, scoring Marean.
 Birmingham double-crossed Mobile in tactics. In the sixth the squeeze play was resurrected and forced into play. It provided the third score, while Trages- sers timely hit dispatched covington homeward with the fourth tally. Mobile secured but one hit-a scratch-after the firth ippipu

SHOVES THE
 BARONS AHEAD OF GULLS

Keeley downed Birmingham without semblance of a safe hit in the first two sessions, while Dave Roth yielded single in each round. Mcdonald distorted the uneventful outlook in the third inning Ellam, after having two strikes called, drew four balls. Tragesser bunted to Keeley and sacrificed him to second Roth popped out to Perry, but Marcan drew second walk, bringing Mcdonald to face the crisis. Schmidt and Keeley conferred and took under consideration the advis- ability of walking Mcdonald. The pitch CT, leading the negative won, and decided to pitch to the third sacker. Eddie stung the pellet squarely on the nose over sec- ond base to Lord in center field. Good judgment at third base sent Ellam on and the shortstop registered. for Lord S return was weak and carried to the left of the plate
 Mobile countered in the fifth round and tied the score. Bris Lord drove a fast bounding single between Ellam and Me- Donald. Marty Calhoun sacrificed the Gull chieftain to second. O'Dell was is- sued two consecutive balls but Roth pulled out of the hole unscathed when he forced O'Dell to hit slow grounder towards shortstop. Mcdonald extended the range of his patrol, bagged the grounder with his glove hand and begged O'Dell out at first It is doubtful whether Ellam by fast fielding, could have headed the third sacker at first, had he accepted the roller. Dobard. served with an inside ball. drove it past Mcdonald. but foul. The second was directed with lightning speed at the third sacker. It was too hot to handle and bounded from his hands and Lord scored with the only Mobile tally of the game

BARON'S DEFENSE LOOMS UP
 LARGELY IN THE TRIUMPH

The Baron defense loomed up largely in the victory Plucky Charlie Miller im- planted the full extent of his 16o pounds avoirdupois against one of Roth's offer ings in the fourth inning. Mcbride, at the crack of the willow, darted backward and continued at top speed Just in time to bag the wallop, he extended his pro- tected hand and caught the pellet on the web of his glove. Had it escaped his clutches, it would have giyen Miller three bases at the least
 Roy Ellam next assumed the star role afield. In the fifth inning, with Dobard on first, Schmidt's mighty shoulders shot the pellet on a line drive to short. It seemed as if Ellam would be unable to leap into the air and pull it down. But the Baron captain shot his bully form into the air, elevated his gloved hand and pulled the drive down for the third out Had the leap proved futile, the groove in center field was open for the rap and it might have gone for a home run.
 The series of successive thrills was con tinued in the eighth. Although the sacks were vacant, Marcan robbed Keeley of a neat Texas leaguer By running into cen ter field, with his back to the stands, the little second sacker snagged it and retired the side. Charlie Carroll qualified for the fielding wonders in the ninth in- ming when Hub Northen, a recent ad- dition from New Orleans. hit line drive between Carroll and Stewart. Carroll, after a fast sprint, stabbed at the drive and retained 1t in his clutches. It was a wonderful stop.
 Miller of Mobile made beautiful cap- ture of Tragesser's long line drive to the sunfield in the fifth session after long run. Had Miller missed the wallop Ira gesser could have completed the circuit.
