'ENSLEY FANS FEEL
 THEY ARE WRONGED
To the Sporting Editor of The Age Herald.

To the Sporting Editor of The Age Herald:
 Through the medium of your valuable paper. we as baseball fans wish to ex- press our indignation at the manner in which the baseball fans of this city are being treated in regard to the transfer ence of games scheduled for this city to another city, especially just at this stage of the game when New Orleans and this city are fighting for the leadership of the league.
 There have been fewer double header games played in Birmingham this season than has been customary, yet the few double headers that are scheduled are transferred to some other city for the sake of a little more filthy lucre. and to the dissatisfaction of the baseball bug of this city, as well as to the disadvan- tage of the Birmingham team playing a home scheduled game on foreign field.
 It appears to the little fellows that support the game in this city that the Birmingham Baseball association should not begrudge US two games once in awhile for the price of one. Why is it that New Orleans has games scheduled ioi otiiti cltltS lfdnsleTreQ to tne1r home grounds, while Birmingham transfers some of its scheduled games to another city? Is this true sport? Can they not be appreciative of the support accorded the team and the games? If so, play the schedule fair. Yours for fair play.

MCCORMICK WINS GAME
 WHEN BOBBY GROWS WILD

The game was broken up by Bill Me Cormick in. the eleventh inning and the hit came as a surprise, as it was the Intention of Robertson, the Baron twirl- CT. to pass the big left fielder but he failed to get the ball far enough out side and Mac drove the sphere into left field for single, Allison romping home on the hit
 The Turtles took q two-run lead in the first inning, after blanking the Barons in their half. Allison first up, received 6 base on balls and on a perfect hit and run play. Coyle sent the speeder" to third on single. Stark crossed up the Baron infield by laying down a peifect bunt and it was so unexpected that illi- son failed to get start off third and was nipped at the plate by Covington to Ira gesser. Mccormick, however. delivered single which scored Coyle Mullin hit to Marcan who handed the pellet to Trages- ser in time to get Stark at the plate. With Mccormick on third and Mullen on first, the double steal was put on and the play was successful as Mccormick beat the return throw to the plate.
 The Barons scored in the second frame when Karr temporarily lost control of the ball and walked Stewart and Me Bride Stewart was first up in the sec ond and was passed. Mcbride tried to advance his team mate but Karr could not get the ball over for him and the Baron left fielder was also given a free ducat to the initial station. Stark, in his anxiety to make double play when Covington grounded to him. lost the ball and all hands were safe. Ellam hit to karr who shot the ball to Schlei, retir- ing Stewart at the plate. When Tragesser grounded to Mullen Mcbride crossed the plate

NEITHER TEAM SCORES IN THE LAST

After few minutes intermission, the second game started. with Jack Kimba Il making his debut the slab for the Turtles and Johnson twirling for the Bar on bunch. It was a pitchers duel with honors even. each beaver allowing two hits. neither of which was productive of runs.
 Pete Allison was the only Turtle to get the ball to safe territory, the "speeder'' garnering a double and single off the elongated Barons delivery.
 At the end of the sixth frame Umpire Breitestein decided that it was too dark to continue the contest and the game will be played off when the Barons re- turn to Memphis.
 Catcher Andreen made his first appear ance in a Turtle uniform at Red Elm and made a favorable impression. The young receiver, who was secured from Marshalltown in the Central association relieved George Schlei when the latters hand was split by a foul tip in the first game.

Karr at this stage advanced Stewart to sec ond and put Mcbride on first when he soaked the latter in the slats with a fast one. Covington dumped the ball down the third base line for a sacrifice.

Fire at the
Sarnan Ranch

Monday morning the milk house at
F. Sarman's ranch caught on fire and
call for help was telephoned to
Gardnerville by Mrs. Sarman, Mr..
Sarman being in town at the time.
Within a few moments several auto
mobiles carrying fire-fghters, were
speeding to the scene. 1t was feared
that the flames would spread to
other buildings. but fortunately the
wind was not blowing and the fire
was easily kept from doing damage
other than to the milk house. A
defective flue is believed to have been
the cause of the fire. The building
and contents were completely de-
stroyed The loss amounts to several
hundred dollars.
