hogs to the So. St. Paul market. He
bought a few hogs from his neighbors

hogs Of his own raising. To bring
the hogs to town Mr.. Brown had
three of his own teams, two teams
belonging to John Hunter and teams
belonging to B. E. Conrad, H. Thomp-

hogs in a season-but times have
changed.

ANNISTON AGAIN
 SHIPPERS DEFEAT

Anniston, May 6.-(Special.) .)-The win ming of today's game by the score or to gves Talladega three out of four games played in the first series of the season. The game today was better played in every respect than the rough and tumble affair of yesterday. Waoe Reynolds, manager of the Moulders, was fined s25 and suspended by President Dick Jemison for his fight with Umpire Riggs yesterday, but when later the president investigated the facts again he lifted the suspension and fired Riggs.
 SeIph, Ganong and Fowlke of the Mould CTS all had the skids placed under them today There were some bonehead ex- hibitions on both sides today, but there was a big improvement all around, espe- cially in fielding. Johannsen made sen sational catch in center. President Jem- ison says he will fire every man in the league if it is necessary to break up rowdy- ism on the diamond, following the scrap

Tomorrow is "Ellam Day.


 According to the plans formulated by the Birmingham Baseball associa- tion and several individuals the ini- tial game of the series with the Nash vile Vols with Roy Ellam, the for mer Baron field captain, as manager. tomorrow afternoon at Redwood Field will be celebrated by the presentation of valuable gold watch fob to the Vol Pilot by the fans of Birmingham.
 The ceremonies will be very brief and will precede the game. Commis- sioner of Public Safety Arlie Barber will make the presentation speech. The fob, which is of solid gold and studded with small diamonds for the bases of the baseball field combined with the Masonic emblem. was pur- chased at the instance of collections from about 75 fans and admirers of Ellam, who played for nine years on the Birmingham team before he se- cured promotion. \ Charles E.

)RTS BarOnS Give PelS Double Drubbing

At the psychological moment the Barons arose and smote the invader hip and thigh. Consequently Johnny Dobbs' Pels are leaving town this morning having dropped the series. /
 It certainly suited the crowd, which damned Redwood to take advantage of the first bargain bill of the season, and the stands were generous of their applause on the slightest excuse.
 Emil Meusel improved nightly over his showing on the first day and laced the ball for five hits out of eight attempts. A sacrifice fly advanced runner and placed him in position to score.
 Meusel has improved the Barons at least 25 per cent. if he bears out his early promise and proves to be as formidable a slugger in all the games as he was yesterday. With Coombs, Meusel and Caton or Car roll in the outfield the offensive strength of the Barons will be nightly improved.
 It will be 8 combination to be dreaded by all pitchers, and that is something the Barons have not been in the past. Coombs is main taining his pace ,and whenever he comes up in a pinch Is carefully given his base on balls. In the third inning of the first game Dillinger feared his mighty stick and pur. posely passed him clogging the sacks. It didn't do much good, however, for Danny Clark was there with single and Derrick and Meusel counted.
 While we are about it, there is plenty of dangerous hitters in the infield. None of them are 300 bat ters so far, but any man there is liable to park one at any time. Lindsay is timely hitter, McDon- aid, also. while Derrick is improv- ing wonderfully with the stick as the weather grows warmer.
 Dillinger got his bumps yester- day. The Barons secured 14 safe- ties off his delivery for extra bases. As 1t turned out none of these ter rife wallops was needed in the sec ond frame. for Peryman held the birds to three measley hits, and they would not have scored but for an error.
 Caton continues to grow in favor with the stands. He was given a mighty hand yesterday in the seventh inning when, with Mcdonald ahead of him, he put the pellet to the center field bleachers for 8 home run. It was Caton's first circuit clout in the Southern, and as he returned to the bench both Moley and President Smith shook him heartily by the hand
 The showing of the Barons against the Pelicans was such as to encourage all true fans. Birmingham has now played eight games with the Pels, win ming three and losing five; eight games with the Crackers, winning three and losing five; seven games with the Gulls, winning six and losing one. Birmingham has yet to lose series at Redwood. With two weeks

His only aid for the collection came from Ser geant of Police D. c. Simmons. To- gether with Sergeant Simmons, MT. Glover secured the city and as the result secured almost s100 from the fans. The gift was purchased through the Jobe-Rose Jewelry company.
 A record Monday crowd is expected to attend the game and witness the ceremonies. The box seats for the game will go on sale at the Hagan Dunlap Drug company tomorrow morning and according to advance reservations it appears that 8 record crowd will at tend. It will be the first appearance of the Nashville team in Birmingham, this season and the fact that Ellam is lead ing the team which now holds the leadership of the league makes the at traction more. It is hoped that the fans will show their appreciation to E1lam for his yeoman service to Bir
 mingham and turn out tomorrow and make the "Ellam Day" an affair that will long be remembered. F. B.

still to remain here that ought to listen pretty well.
 Roy Ellam will lead his clan into Bir- mingham tomorrow and the game will be halted long enough for various and sundry admirers to present him with g. valuable watch fob. Arlie Bar Der will make the presentation speech. These festivities will be put on before the game starts so it behooves all to get out early tomorrow. Present indications are that for the first time since the opening day all the boxes will be occupied. The demand for box seats has been unusually large.
 Birminghams double victory over the Pels yesterday was a favor for New Orleans as the Travellers cleaned up for Ellam's club. The stunt of the Barons yesterday gives Ellam full game lead on the Pels. The leader ship Of the league may change during the early part of the week, however, as New Orleans will take on the Travellers at home, while Ellam will have his hands full with the Barons.
 Dan Pfenninger, the foxiest umpire in the Southern league, caused con- siderable amusement among the ball players yesterday by appearing on the field prepared for duty with a piece of sticking plaster the size of dollar on his jaw. There were immediate inquiries as to who had taken shot at him, but Dan blamed his barber, declaring that the son of Italy had shaved off a pimple. There was con- siderable incredulity displayed at his explanation which did little credit to his ingenuity.
 Buck" Weaver made the first balk of the eason yesterday afternoon in the third inning of the second game. It was after Meuseps single had scored Perryman and the gardener stole second. Coombs was walked, and after fiddling around took his po- sition on the rubber. He made as if to throw to first but Bluhm was not covering the bag and it was a balk. Weaver holding the ball. Both run ners advanced peg It did no dam age, however, as Clark flied out Co Allison.
 McDonald's error of Bluhm's pop in the second inning of the first game was entirely excusable. The sun was shining brightly and the ball went a mile into the air before starting it's
 
 almost blinded by the sun, and al- though he got his hands on the pellet failed to hold it. The pebble did no great amount of damage, however, and the runner was afterward caught. Bluhm went to third when DeBerry poked one over second and the two attempted a double steal Red was easily caught at the plate by Clarix's return throw.
 Eddie Mcdonald and Meusel between them made very pretty double play in the third inning of the second game. With one down, Allison walked and went to second on Knaupps tap to the middle garden. Eschen then lifted a high one to Meusel and Es- chen attempted to make the third station on the out. Eddie stood around as indifferent as if the play was not being made and the runner slowed down. At that moment Mc- Donald sprang into action, Grabbed Meusel's perfect peg and tagged the runner as he hit the dirt

Pels took the lead. Mcdonald beat out a roller to deep short, was sacrificed to second and counted when Cecil Coombs smacked one to center: The game was won in the third inning. Perryman led on with a single to right, was sacrificed to second and scored when Meusel pasted one to center.
 The Barons played swell game in both affalrs, clearAy outclassing the Pels. Both Black and Perryman pitched shut-out ball, and although they were not &C., corded good support, their masterly pitch Ing With the bases occupied accounts for their win.

BARONS WIN FIRST EASILY

The first game was an easy Baron vic tory. Dillinger was pounded freely, but Johnny Dobbs made him stick it out. The Pels gave him a two-run lead but the determination of the Barons must have discouraged the southpaw. The Pels scored two runs in the first inning on two hits and an error. Two more were added in the sixth on three hits and a walk. The last Pelican counter came in the ninth on two hits and an infeld out. Black pitched good ball after the first inning and after the Barons got him a good lead he eased down. In the pinches however, he showed effective form and the Pels never did become very dan gerous.
 The Barons tied the count in the first session on a hit by pitcher, and two hits by Derrick and Meusel and a sacrifice fly. The game was cinched in the third inning when four hits. two errors. walk and a hit batSman counted i've runs. An other was added in the sixth and two more in the eighth for good measure
 The second game was an abbreviated pitchers battle between Preacher Per lyman and Buck Weaver, with the honors falling to the former, who hurled speln- did game after rather poor start Per- ryman allowed but three safetes, two of which came in the first inning and netted the Pels their only run. With one down, Knaupp singled to left went to second On Eschen's bingle to right and scored when Bill Lindsay muffed Sylves- ter's pop fly But three more Pelicans got on base during the remainder of the game. Knaupp, by a hit, Allison was walked and Edmondson gained life on Clark s error.

Before the largest crowd that has filed into RickwOOd Field since the opening game, the BarOns cOpped a double header from the New Orleans PcIicans yesterday afternoon and thereby came out of the series with coIors flying after a disastrous start. The score of the first game was 10 to 5, while the second affair was more in- teresting, ending to 1.
 Almost 5000 people witnessed tho fray. The Barons. after losing Thurs day's game by poor pitching and then Fridays game ending in a draw, which should have been victory for the Moley crew, entered the fray blood thirsty and probably no twirler could have stopped the savage hitting streak that lasted throughout both games. Whenever a hit was needed to count a runner, the hit came.
 Emil Meusel the new Baron gardener, won himself a home by his savage slug ging, which helped the Barons cinch the first game and win the second. The recruit outfieider pounded the ball to all corners of the lot and by his timely hitting scored the run that gave Birmingham the second victory. Caton, Coombs, McDon- ald Clark, Derrick pasted the ball in both encounters.
