Hendryx as much work al possible and for the present will stick him in when either Sylvester or Northern show sign of letting down in their hitting.
 Magee pulled Birmingham only spectacular fielding play, making q shoestring catch of starr's fly in the third.
 Brown Blows in Sixth Brown began to blow at the be- ginning of the sixth inning. Bluhm, first up, rapped a single to left field. Starr moved him up and after Sylvester went down, Bearns walked and stole second. Bill Lindsay then doubled to left field, scoring Bluhm. Hendryx fol- lowed with single to deep left anl

Charley started to steal home just as Grimes uncorked wild pitch giving the Pels another run. Sylvester who had moved up to third, was thrown out at the plate on an at tempted double steal with Lindsay on the other side of it.
 The best and only serious bid the Barons made for a run was in the sixth inning when Brown led off with
 hit to Bluhm which he beat out. He was fielded out by Marcan but Hern- don went safe on a bounder to Lind say which Bill couldn't field for the sun was in his eyes. After Magee went out, Knisely walked. choking the cir cult, but Mcbride forced Pete out. The Pels came near scoring again in the eighth, getting three men on bases

Robertson did not see Hig- gins leave for second until too late and his throw to Marcan was futile. The little second baseman quickly re- turned the throw to Wallace at the plate. but the play was started too late and Barbare romped home be- fore the throw, which was slightly wild. reached the Baron backstop this rattled Wallace and, not realizing that the game was over. he begged the ball hastily back to second after receiving it. It was not until Wal lace was laughingly informed by Um- pire Breitenstein that hostilities were over that he was cognizant of the fact The majority of the fans were also dazed by the quick play, and 1t was a few moments before they "eame to"

 Revenge Is said to be sweet and the one who spake thusly first knew well whereof he spoke. And this afternoon Rube Evans will likely attempt to wreck vengeance on the Barons for the way he was treated toward the latter part of last season. by going on the mound in an effort to lead the Pelicans to a fourth victory over the  Barons.
 Near the middle of the season Evans was turned over to the Barons by Manager Charley Frank. He drew pay from the local club for several weeks, but was in poor condition dur ing most of the time. Finally Moley got out of patience with the south paw and first suspended him and then later returned him to the New orleans club.
 This year Evans has promised Johnny Dobbs to keep in condition, and he is looking forward to a sue cessful campaign.
 
 Moose" Mccormick of the Lookouts further reduced his team yesterday by releasing Harding. pitcher, to the Henderson club in the North Carolina league.
 Believing that the Turtles needs strengthening before they will be able to maintain Il fair pace in the league this season. President Coleman of the Memphis club has left on a trip to Chicago and other eastern cities in an effort to secure additional players. It is thought that his trip is mainly for the purpose of purchasing Outfielder Allison of the Chicago Cubs, who is badly wanted by the Turtle leader.
 Internal trouble has already arisen on the Turtle team. Third Baseman McDermott had break with Manager Finn yesterday and as a result he drew an indefenite suspension.
 The trouble arose over Finn charging that McDermott was laying down on him and carrying on negotiations with American association managers, fin which circuit he Is anxious to play. The third baseman admitted he was discontented. but asserted that a sore arm is keeping him out of play.

VVyJRY erimaces are being made AX/ by local fans over the con " tinued losing streak of the Barons one week has transpireo since the opening of the season ana lh this time only one game of seven has been placed on the right side or the ledger The Mobile Gulls, supposedly the weakest team in the league, came and left with three scalps on their belt' while the Pels in their own nest have feasted on the Barons for three con seeutive days. Moley's henchmen were shut out for the second time yesterday bv the Pelicans and the distress sig nal Is already being hung out by local fans.
 There is no disputing the fact that the Barons are playing far from cham pionship oaliber or that of first d. vision. The team is going badly, but if Is not on the downward grade Tor good. The Barons are going up against real pitching for the first time and the pitchers are working to dangerous bat
  not yet focused right. The same may be said of the other teams in the league but the weather man has not accord ed them the poor treatment that he did the Barons during the spring, when nearly every other day threat enInp clouds shut out Old Sol.
 The Barons are now lowering in the cellar and may be there for week or so but they will not rest there thereafter long. If the Barons do not pull themselves together and work up- ward Rick Woodward stands ready to provide the coin necessary for the pur- chase of players who will boost up- ward the percentage of the Barons. In any case the Barons will not stick In the eeller, that is if Rick can possibly prevent it. There is no use complain ing now but If by the end of May or the first of June the team does not go any better then is the time for the fans to get behind the team and de- mand better ball, and they may also count upon the assistance of the press.
 
 So lightning was the play which caused the downfall of the Barons in the eleventh inning of the game Sun day with the Pelicans that for several moments neither the local players or the spectators appreciated it fully.
 With two down Barbare touched Robertson for a two-bagger to deep left and advanced to third on wild pitch. This unnerved the Baron pitcher and he issued four balls to Catcher Higgins. Hardly had the Pelican re-

Bx MILL. HAMILTON

New Orleans, April 20.-tSpeeial) Birmingham's championship hopes went up against hard invincible pitching proposition this afternoon. They were introduced to our MT. "Red" Styles and the official score shows that it was a disastrous meeting for the visitors. They were beaten 5 to 0. The Pels, hopping on two Baron pitchers. scored runs almost as they pleased in the sixth and seventh innings.
 Up to the sixth, Curley Brown, Molesworths nominee. held Dobbs' men splendidly in check and gave up only three scattered hits. In the sixth Brown was touched up for two doubles, two singles and he walked two. which netted the total of four runs.
 Grimes relieved Brown and in the next inning the Pels added one to their total at his expense. Not only was Styles too much for the Birmingham batters, but the Barons encountered some of the most sensational inffeld- ing they have seen this year, with lit tie Walter Barbare the star actor. Bar bare is the youngster filling Cotton Knaupp's job while he is nursing an injured knee. He covered a wide area of ground, killing off possible hits and alternately covering second for putouts besides being the starting end of two double plays.

 WILL BE FUTURE VOGUE
Fun From the Yesterday Run to Dam, Promises to Make Sport Staying
 Proposition

Members of the Phoenix motorbike took their lady friends by tandem, to the Granite Reef dam. The run was what the club is pleased to call picnic run, and the name signifies all that the trip was intended to be. For it was the best picnic that has been arranged and pulled off in it's history. and the thirteen who went. voted one and all, that they had good time.
 The run to the dam was made on the out trip, by way of the Cross Cut canal. On the way back, the riders took the Tempe road. and came in just prior to the time the supper bell usually rings. They had little or no trouble on the road, and the most serious trouble en- countered, was when some one ran into one of the machines, standing by the road. and busted the steering gear. On the tandem, each Of the fellows carried one girl, at the least, and one of them had nerve enough to carry one on the tank and one on the attachment.
 The most enjoyable part of the run, was in the fact that the riders stayed close enough to each other that they could chat and help as occasion de- manded. Among the young men who took the trip, were Fogel, Blain. Cotton. Worcester. and Merrdith. The last named, was the nervy fellow who took to the road, with two women on his bike.
