First class pitching. combined with fauitIess fielding. enabled Birmingham to win the second game of the series with the Lookouts yesterday afternoon at RickwOod Field. The final count was to 1. The game was one of the best seen at the old battlefield in sev- eraI weeks, and it provided the fans with a real game, after a series of farc- icaI exhibitions on the part of the BarOns.
 Both teams fought hard for the con- test and as the result the game wns thrilling. The LOOkOuts Outhit the BarOns but daring base running, direct ed by the midget pilot of the visiting clan, spelled their downfall. "Preach- CT" Perryman was MOIey's selection for mound duty and the elongated parson pitched a fine game. The story might have been different had his fielding cracked but with the encouragement offered, by his teammates he grew stronger with the hassocks occupied.
 Arthur Johnson, the former Baron, was pitted against his old teammates and al- though he allowed fewer hits that Per rynan, he was not as strong in the pinches. Two timely blows with men on second In two innings accounted for the winning tallies produced by the local swatters.
 LOOKOUTS SCORE FIRST
 The Lookouts drew first blood on their first trip to the plate. Bob Messenger Sin plp t0 center and was sacrificed to the key stone by Jake Pitler. Ham Hyatt con- nected with one of Perryman's curves and drove it to the right field fence for a couple of bags, Bob romping home on the blow. The Barons tied the affair up in the same session. Jimmy Eschen worked Johnny" for a pass to the initial bag. Eddie Mcdonald sacrificed and the Baron sunfielder took third on Meusels infield out. Tex Mcdonald brought Jimmy home with a clean single to left.
 The winning tally was scored in the fifth inning. With two down, Jimmy Eschen was again passed and Eddie Me- Donald followed with a double to right, after Johnson had uncorked wild heave that allowed Jimmy to reach third The Barons never had another good chance to score, although they got runners on first and second in almost every inning.
 Tex McDonalds cut off of two runners at the plate after the batter had singled with a runner on second saved the day. The Lookouts wasted chance after chance by testing Mike Hausers whip, which was very effective, the Baron re- ceiver cutting down every attempted base swiper.
