By JOHN ANDREWS

The Barons made it clean sweep from the Gulls yesterday afternoon, winning the final game of the series, and the best, by score of to 2. Der rick,s single to left in the fourth, which Mcdowell let get by, scored three runs and gave sufficient counters to win the game, although the Barons added an- other In the seventh for good measure.
 It was q beautiful game and sensa- tiOnal fielding by the BarOns left Hack little to do. Whenever the Gulls at tempted rally the boys were there with a double play or sensational stop, and the assault was nipped in the bud.
 Karl Black hurled clever game for the Barons and he was opposed by Moore, seen here a part of the opening game, and he made much better showing than on his initial appearance. Black too, was effective in the pinches and pulled him. self out of several deep holes into which he had worked. The visitors are credited with eight hits but in no inning save the
  considerable damage.
 The game was by far the best that Birmingham has seen and a large Sat urday crowd was highly pleased. There was plenty of fast fielding and enough hitting to keep the bugs on edge.
 GULLS SCORE EARLY
 Black got in trouble the very first in- ming when, after Mcdowell had lifted a high foul that Hauser handled, Whaleu tripled to the left-field bleachers and scored on Burkes single to right. Swa- clna poked one safely through second base and Schmidt was walked, filling the bases with down. Bromwich hit a twister to Black. forcing Burke at the plate and being doubled at first. It was the first of four double plays in which the Barons participated and the first of the season for the home club.
 This was the most dangerous point of the game and having successfully passed it, Black sat steady in the boat, waiting for his comrades to give him the edge The punch was somewhat delayed in com ing, but it was there, and in the fourth the bold and battle-scarred pushed across three counters. Caton was walked and Mcdonald sent him to second when he too drew four wide ones. Clark laid down a perfect bunt toward the third base line and beat it out, filling the bags. Carroll struck out and Lindsay hit sharp ly to Bromwich, forcing Caton at the plate. All three scored a moment later when Derrick tore one loose just inside the third-base line which Mcdowell failed to handle. The ball rolled to the fence and Mcdonald, Clark and Lindsay count ed, Derrick pulling up at third. The in- hing ended when ORourke was thrown out at first by Dobard.
 The Barons counted again in the sev- enth when Hauser singled to the score board. Black sacrificed him to second and he scored on Cntons double to deep center. Caton stole third, but was caught 1t the plate when Mcdonald hit to Brom- Wich.
 WILCOX GETS HOMER
 Wilcox laced one to the centerfield bleachers in the seventh for a circuit elout, but the Gulls lacked the punch to go farther and the Barons copped handi- ly, a threa tening spurt in the ninth be- ng nipped by lightning double play.

Game Won in Fourth

After three innings of ScoreleHs ball,
the Ansons jumped the hurdles in the
fourth and registered enough runs to
secure the game. Eunick was the lad
who paved the way for tho first coun-
ter, with a single and a pilfer, and then
Lunte went to first on a pass. LeBeau
came thru with the needed hit--a triple
which registered both base runners,
and the Ansons played for an increased
lead. but rapid fielding prevented
greater total. Sargent's good work IN
handling Lees grounder and getting
the ball away quickly for the throw
nipped LeBeau at the plate. Lee stole
second. but Prough was out when he
hit to deep right. Meinert making
pretty running catch.

Morgan Infant Star.
For the Infants Morgan was the only
man who could do anything whatsoever
with Torkelson's slants. A triple and
single made up his total for the day.
and aside from this the only clean blow
of the afternoon for the visitors was

his worst, could rot hit the ball out of

Honors to "Red" Torkelson.
The honors Of the day easily were
Torkelson's. He pitched one Of the best
games seen on the home lot this year,
showing considerable stuff and mix
ing his service judiciously. Once or
twice his support wobbled. but for the
most part it was excellent. Lunte and
Ryan had busy afternoon, and both
men pulled off some brilliant plays.
Snow, however, came in for the
premier fielding stunt of the matinee,
when he sprinted to the amphitheater
fence and hauled in Kuhn's foul while
hanging over the pickets.
