The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-08-20

Between Carl Black and a no-hit accomplishment stands Preston Cruth- CTS and his white baseball bat and lone hit, single from the white base ball bat of Cruthers. The hit was In the shape of a liner over shortstop m the sixth inning with two Chicks al ready disposed of.
 It was a beautifully pitched ball game by Black. He pitched IS near perfect and hitless game as has been pitched at Russwood Park this sum- mer Only one Chick runner advanced as far as second base. That was in the fourth inning when Black walked Dobard and forced him to second when he hit Cruthers. The next two batters, Paulette and Knisely, were disposed Of without Cruthers advancing any fur ther.
 JIMMY ESCHEN STARS
 In turning out his one hit job, Black was assisted by perfect fielding of his helpmates and especially one sensa- tional bit of outfielding by Jimmy Es- chen in the center patch.
 In the third inning, with one out, Eschen raced far toward the back fence and while clear from the ground, snagged Muddy Fuels hectic bolt with his gloved hand. The ball seemed as though it stuck to Eschen's finger tips.
 Only four Chicks became base run ners. They were Dobard and Ruei' who walked, and Cruthers, who sin gled and was hit by Black. Duelling against the phenomenal pitching of Black was little Richard Kerr, the wee-wee lefthander of the Chick corps. And it was not directly the fault of Wee-wee Richard that the Barons made their lonesome marker in the ninth inning. Kerr allowed five hits and although he wobbled upon several occasions, he pulled himself together and stayed off Baron scoring until the final round
 BARONS SCORE
 In the ninth inning Eschen, first up, drove to right field. Pete Knisely was slow starting after the ball and just as slow after he got started. knlsely got near enongh to make a enchanted stab, but Eschen landed on second safely. Kerr turned Mike Hauser away on strikes. Midget Caton, the Baron short-stopper, who has been thorn in the side of the Chicks during the series, pricked the tribe again today when he singled to second, putting Eschen on third. With Black at the bat Eschen scored on a squeeze play when Black bunted to Paulette. Paul. cite was in an awkward position to throw when he smothered the ball. Genes throw to the plate was late and Eschen was easily safe. Caton went to second and Black stood on first, but the round ended with dual disposi- ton of Baron base runners when Mo Donald hit to Walsh, who stepped on third, forcing Caton and then threw to first and beat Mcdonald.
 That the Barons did not score more than once might be made the reason for the creation of the eighth won- der"
 In the fifth inning Meusel opened with the first hit off Kerr, single. Clark followed with a single. sending Meusel to second Eschen bunted to Kerr and Kerr was late in his throw to Walsh to head off Meusel. The bases were congested. Hauser hit back at Kerr and Kerr threw to the plate, shutting off Meusel and then Ruel doubled Hauser at first. Caton walked, but Black beat the breezes.
 BARONS WASTE CHANGES
 With two out in the sixth, Coombs walked and went to second when Cruthers erred on Meusers easy grounder. Clark walked and there was a Baron perched on every base. Es- chen's helping effort was flyout to Chadbourne. The next Baron threat came in the seventh when Hauser opened with a single and was sacri- ficed to second by Caton. Black
