 Birmingham outclasses the Pelicans in many respects, but mostly in speed and patience. The Barons have stolen many more bases than have the Pels. In draw ing bases on balls. the Birmingham team is also in the fore.
 How often does base on balls mature into run? How often does a stolen base enable the base runner to score from sec ond, whereas two hits are needed 10 put a runner over the rubber from first. Since Knisely departed. a new spirit has invested the Barons Few "bones' have been pulled since the laudable Peter shook the soot of Birmingham from his heels and the team has fought with a more determined zeal.
 And with the Barons exercising good judgment and the pitchers twirlng at top speed. the Pelicans are not to be feared.

CHATTANOOGA

 Chattanooga held helpless during the

 being forced to the mound to stop the
 onslaught. For eight consecutive innings,
 the little Baron finger had not permit
 ted Chattanooga sprinter to get past
 second base, and only four had forged
 past first. Tn the ninth, Manager Harry
 Mccormick opened the session that gave the 'Noogans enough runs to deadlock the situation with a triple to the left field bleachers. Coyle, who mad failed miser ably when confronted with men on bases in the fourth and sixth, slashed a groun- der between Carroll and Ellam. Carrolls
 most zealous effort to bag the roller was futile but Ellam speared the ball with his bare hand and sent it soaring toward the place. Wallace, braced at the platter. extended his mitt into the air to catch the peg.

In the eleventh inning, with darkness gradually spreading over Rickwood, Catcher Jack Wallace sprinkled cloud of dust on the handle of his mighty cudgel took a brief survey of the bases, and assumed crouching posture at the plate. Tex Covington, with a grim smile upon his face, nervously paced a few feet towards third base from second. Short stop Roy Ellam, eager to complete the bases, was seen few paces from first base. No Baron had gone out before the crafty twirling of the veteran-Bill Slime. The two aggregations were in a deadlock. Both had scored two runs. It was obvious that the crisis was at hand.
 Directed to sacrifice, the second string catcher fizzled on his first attempt. A cleverly curved toss darted across the plate and gave the Lookout pitcher a record of two strikes and no balls. The day looked gloomy for the league leaders and soon Curley Brown darted from the dugout and selected a bat, for it was feared that Wallace would fail in his att tempt to drive Covington over the plate.
 But suddenly the youngster drew back his bludgeon, took a desperate swipe at the pellet and sent it nurtling between Jack Johnston and Bill Jacobson in the center field groove The two outfielders impulsively started in the direction of the wallop, but promptly realized the task was hopeless and started tIotting towards the showers. Tex" Covington logged from third to home. after a fast sprint from second and spiked the rubber with the run that decided the conflict. The bail was recovered at o'clock by the weary bat boy-a sadly battered pellet to behold.
 The apprentices safety closed sensa- tional fielding game A triple play and four double operations were recorded by the two infields. Roy Ellam accepted IS chances without a pebble, while Lil Mar can registered seven assists and four outs The triple play, the second of the season on Redwood field. came in the given access to first on Carroll's error, while Coyle had been walked. Flick had two strikes and three balls called. As Robertson whipped his arm back to de- liver the ball that either meant an out or safety, the two sprinters sped from their bases, hoping to get a neat lead. Flick drove low line drive to Marcan who caught it slightly off the ground He tossed the ball to Ellam. who caught Coyle between first and second and com pleted the operation with a peg to Gov ington The whole maneuver was over in a twinkle of the eye
