SCOUT MIKE FINN
 LOOKS THEM OVER
 AT R|CKW00D FIELD

Mike Finn, former manager of the Mo- bile and Memphis clubs but now scout with the Detroit Americans. arrived in Birmingham yesterday from Chattanooga and after watching the double-header with the Volunteers at Redwood Field, left for his pome at Little Rock. Scout Finnn was not greatly impressed by the happenings at Rickwood
 According to MT Finn the Detroit club is in bad need of pitcher that is in shape to deliver the goods at once. With an other winning pitcher Mir. Finn was of the opinion that Detroit would easily win the flag in the American league.
 rhe Detroit club has the greatest hit ting aggregation ever gotten together ,' said Scout Finn, and all that we need is another winning pitcher. Coveleskie is not pitching the ball he pitched last season and Roland is an in and out man. To win the Detroit club has to make eight or nine runs.'
 MT. Finn admitted ne came to Birming-

ESPITE the very bad ball
 playing displayed yester- - day. the Barons were in there fighting and the fans can forgive much when they know the team is after every point. At that, the Barons cleaned up on the se- ries with the Vols and are now resting in third place.
 Out of the weeks play the Bar ons won four and lost three.
 John Wallace was badly spiked yesterday but 1t was not intention al as some players and fans were led to believe. From the press box the play at the plate was in plain sight and it was seen that Shee- han in sliding attempted to avoid Wallace, but the Baron catcher unfortunately stepped in front of the human catapult and received a bad gash above the knee. It was an unfortunate accident.
 Tod" Sloan was elected from  the game yesterday for the first time this season. Sloan, one of the most gentlemanly players on the Baron squad, was so angered at O'Toole's decision on a third strike that he lost his temper and di- rected few forcefu1 words at the blind arbiter.
 
 Umpire O'Toole promptly fined Sloan s10 and elected him from the game. Now, if the heads of the league are the wise leaders they are reputed to be they will fire O'Toole, for he is the worst ever.
 The busting of Sloan brought Carleton Molesworth in the lime light Moley ambled out to right field and his first play was a thriller After Street had flied out in the sixth Kroh singled to right and in attempting to stretch the hit was thrown out by Molesworth from deep right. It was a line throw and nailed the Nashville pitcher by 10 feet.
 Molesworth appeared at the plate twice-and singled twice.

ADDITIONAL SPORTING EVENTS-AMATEUR RESULTS
SAVES TIE SECOND GAME Will Pitch Against Little Rock Monday-Career
 Sketched

When Manager Molesworth dis patched Emmet Key Perryman. the newly acquired pitcher of the Barons to stem the Volunteer onslaught in the ninth inning. 1t must have seemed natural to the elongated right-hander. On the day he was sold to Birmlng- ham, Preacher" Perryman had oper. ated in 20 games for the st. Louis Americans However. of this num- Der he received credit for a loss or victory in only six battles. Two were accredited to him as victories. while four were chalked as losses.
 While the followers of the Barons were given an opportunity to sec the big twirler under fire for part of an inning, Manager Molesworth an nounced last night that Perryman would open the series against Little Rock Monday
 Perryman is playing his fifth sea son in professional ball. .He started his career In 1911 with the Danville club in the Virginia State league, following three years of collegiate activity with Emory college. Although he won II games and lost eight for Danville, he was shunted to Richmond in 1912. but suffered and off year, winning five and losing 1b. Despite his record he was sold to the New York Nationals but did not report. He was turned back to Roanoke in the Virginia league and pitched 300 ball. winning 12 and los ing 12. That season he was drafted by Atlanta and twirled for the Crack last year, winning IT and losing 10.
 The lately acquired Baron Is an elongated pitcher. towering feet A inches. He was born in Rockmart, Ga, on October 24, 1888, but at pres ent lives in Atlanta. He weighs 1S5 pounds. Perryman Is the possessor of a very fast ball and a wonderful drop, and this combination makes him quite effective.
 He will pitch Monday.

Molesworth is the heavy hitter the Baron club has been negotiating for in the past several weeks Moley came to terms with himself last week and signed himself up. Modesty kept Moley from announcing to the world that he was. the long sought heavy swatter.
 By the way. fans, will you have . peep at the National league race.
 Who said the Giants were out of it?
 Incidentally the Southern league race is a tight affair-even the Crackers having a chance
 Mike Finn. a we'll known figure in Southern league baseball and former manager of the Mobile and Memphis club, but now scout for the Detroit Americans, arrived in town yesterday to have a look at the pitching of Dick Robertson.
 However, Dick was not working and the pitching of Grimes and Black failed to impress the veteran man. ager and scout
 Mike Finn regaled the occupants of lue press pON Wltn cnOlce stories of the olden days in baseball Following the games. MT Finn left for his home in Little Rock.
 Preacher Perryman made a hit with the fans by the busnesslike man. ner in which he stopped a batting rally by the Vols in the ninth. Per lyman has good fast ball and curve and should do well in the Southern league.
 With all this rumpus in the league presidents office regarding the official standings the fact remains that the fans are principally interested in whether the Barons are winning or why they are not. The political and statistical side of baseball is about as interesting to the average fan as water to drowning man. What the fans demand and want Is the old game of slamming the oakland with the old pep on the coaching lines.
 Still 1t is well to have correct fig ures. It is embarrassing to have youthful scriveners casting doubts as to the correctness of the official standings. They are now even charg- ing that the batting and fielding av erages are incorrect Really, isn't it time something was done?
