The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-05
From the Angle Of the Bug

outs were running wild over the opposition and were holding onto first place by wide margin. We came to Birmingham for series and after you congratulated me the Barons tore into my team and started it on the downward grade and we did not stop until the eel lar was reached. If you con gratu- late me another time the Barons might again administer similar treatment to my team
 President Baugh can't see the Pelicans as championship az gregation. In speaking of their playing yesterday against the Barons the local mogul asserted that their playing was only ordi- nary and that they did not show any extraordinary ability against the Birmingham team. "Of course" said MT. Baugh, they might be off in their playing today and have been playing better in other towns but the way the Pels stack up now they do not appear much like a pennant winning crowd"
 Charley Carroll was out on the sidelines yesterday for the first s<time in several weeks. Charley did not do any work. however. as his hand is still in plaster cast.
 Roy Ellam proved the hitting star of the combat with the Pelicans yes terday. The Baron shotstop opened the fifth inning with a three-bagger to left, while in the eighth he in t<,1 1,+t, ,ts., center Besides this he had good day in the field. accepting eight chances without an error.
 Mcbride occupied the bench and Stewart, the outfielder purchased from the Cubs, supplanted him in center field. The new Baron made a favor able impression though he failed to do much with his war club. As it was he chalked up a single in four times at the plate. This made in the sixth and after getting on he prompt ly stole second and then third.
 Stewart had hard luck in the way of strengthening out his hits One time he slapped the ball against right field fence, but it went foul by close mar gin. Again he hits along the right field foul line and as before the ball went foul.
 He has all the ear marks of a good player and the fans gave him warm reception yesterday. The first putout made by the Barons was credited to him.
 Three double plays were executed by the Barons and one of them was ell staged. This took place in the eighth inning when, with Evans on third and Bluhm on first Starr drove fly to knisely in right Evans at attempted to steam home. but Knisely's throw beat him to the plate and he put back to third. Bluhm then tried to take advantage of the play and go to second, but Tragesser whipped the ball to Ellam who threw to Coving- ton and caught Bluhm in a chase. While this was going on Evans made another attempt to score and Coving- ton hurriedly threw home and caught the Pelican heaver at the plate, Ira gesser spilling him over his shoulders.
 Hank Gregory was chased in the first inning from the third base coaching box for using police whs- tie too frequently. Dobbs protested to Umpire Fifield and Gregory was motioned to the bench.
 In the eighth Catcher Huggins was orde erd tmorfheshrdletaoi ordered from the game for growing sarcastic with F'ifeld because he had made decision against his team.
 
 Evidently the sporting editor of The Age-Herald struck sore spot Sunday when he referred in uncomplimen- tary terms to Subsidized writer's in connection with the wrestling game. The remarks were cast about at ran dom, no one being charged directly with the offense. but immediately there was a squeal from an afternoon paper. Now. we are wondering why.
