ball. In the first two singles, a walk and two more singles netted the Lookouts three runs. Danny Clark helped things along, when he threw wild to first trying to catch the Kid, who was busily engaged in beating out q bunt. Three more were pushed over in the third when Mcdonald booted Harris hard-hit ball. Elberfeld walked and Messenger beat out his tap to Lind say at deep short Graf bingled to right and Harris counted. Messen- ger stole second. Graf singled to left and the Kid came over, while Bob followed monment lated when Coombs threw wild to get him.
 Birmingham did not show to any great advantage yesterday after noon. The team lacked the pep, the fight that was manifest in the Ten nesSee aggregation every moment of the time. In the second affair the spirit was more manifest. That is except Black. We are strong for Black. We like to watch him in the box and the fans like to watch him because he's in. there every minute giving everything he has. J score is to against him as if it was 0 and 0. Black need not be ashamed at all of his shelving yes- terday.
 Today sees the end of rather disastrous stay at home for the Barons. Frankly, we believe that the session in Birmingham has bben too lengthy for the good of the team. When the nine gets on the road and the crowds get to riding the men their fighting blood will be reused and the rut into which they have fallen will be deserted. The team needs to fight and fight hard. The Barons leave for Memphis tonight and will spend two weeks on the road before returning to the home town for brief stay.
 It was unfortunate that the schedule makers of the Southern league should have seen fit to place Birmingham at home for so long stay at this stage of the game. Later on, in August say, this favor would have been greatly esteemed but in the spring and as early after
 the opening as the present it was a rather doubtful favor There is, however, a bright side to the cloud. Molesworth said when the season opened that if June saw him still at the 300 mark or within striking distance of the meridian, he would be satisfied. It begins now to look as if this end would be accom- plished and then Molesworth will begin his drive for the pennant.
 Kid Elberfeld announced yester- day that he had signed Dixie Walker to take the place of Jim Allen, the southpaw the Lookouts got in a draw with Birmingham. The Kid said thSt all the clubs in the league had waived on Allen and that he would most probably go to the Texas league.
 Dixie Walker will be the peppery ones choice for this afternoon and Molesworth will send in Robertson or Perryman most likely the latter. The Lookouts are slated for defeat this afternoon, for we do not believe that, any team can come here and insult us by taking every game of the series Perryman so far has shown the most stuff of any Baron hurler and it is predicted that he will beat the visitors handsomely this afternoon.
 While Dolly Stark, the deposed Memphis pilot, is in no way posing as a martyr, there is considerable sym pathy for him around the circuit as a result of his rather abrupt dismissal

ANNISTON EASY FOR LAGRANGE

LaGrange, May 23.-(Special) )-La- Grange defeated Anniston in the first game of the series here today, to 3. Russell for Anniston pitched a good game, win, but LaGrange punched hits in the second and this with errors by Anniston lost him the game. The features of the game was the batting of Rope, who hit a home run and double out of four times up and Reynolds, who got two singles out of four times at bat and Wilson, who hit a home run and double out of four times at bat. Score:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-24

When the Baron pitchers are around there moving them down the hitters are suddenly afflicted ters, after consultations with ocu- lists, are enabled to paste the pill once more, the hurlers are not at home. Consequently the games are lost and to follow the line of req soning to it's ultimate conclusion, Birmingham is at present roasting in the second division. Emphati- cally roasting there, in fact.
 If Arthur Johnson, the elongated Swede who drew the can last week, is not satisfied this morning, he is finicky person and doesn't deserve to be, Ziggy opened tho double bill for the Barons yester- day and got away with it by a combination of luck, good manage ment and in between times good pitching. Johnson allowed the Bar ons seven hits, but they were we'll scattered, only two coming to- gether, and then the beans being spilled by Grimes.
 The story of the double bereave- ment yesterday is sad one for the local fans. Elmer Ponder, formerly of Texas, was on the firing line for the Barons and did nobly. So well did he hold the Lookouts that they could get but four hits. These four, alas, netted consider ably more than the Barons seven, as the Kids club pushed over two counters.
 In addition to doing his share of the hurling, Johnson scored run although 1t later developed that it was superfluous and that the coun- ter pushed over in the first was sufficient to bring home the candy Johnny was first up in the sixth and Ponder in a moment of care lessness grooved the first one on which the Swede landed for fence breaker The pitcher pulled up at second and went to third when Jantzen poked one at Clark, going out at the initial corner.
 Just because play has whiskers is no reason why the Kid won't try it. The Kid last season resur- rected the squeeze play and pushed over 30 to 40 runs with it. He is doing the same thing yesterday as it was on this play that the second run was scored. Again he crossed up Ponder for the play was plainly forecast. The Kid walked out to the third base coaching line and talked to Johnson. He wouldn't risk signal. The play was freely predicted, but the pitcher put 1t over and Pit1er laid down a per- feet bunt and the Swede counted.
 Ponder continues to improve and a season under Moley will make him one of the best pitchers in the league. The Kid is cool under fire and mixes them up to advantage His only drawback is little greenness, which he will soon over- come.
 The second frame was a tragedy of errors. Everybody took turns at throwing the ball away, mate rially assisting the Lookouts in scoring their seven runs and tuck ing the game away. Coombs' throw from left field to catch Messenger at the plate let two russ in. Bill Lindsay almost threw one into the right field bleachers trying to catch Graff in the fifth, but it wasn't so disastrous and Blackie got Marshall.
 Hryy e,to tAI worth but after six runs had been scored in three innings he retired in favor of Ssarl Black, who allowed the Lookouts but one run Those first three innings were some base

 Tke Barons tumbled into the second division as the result of a double de- feat administered them yesterday aft ernoon at Redwood Field by the Chat tanoOga LOokOuts. The first game, the best and most interesting of the two, ended to 0 in favor of the LOOkOuts, while the second encounter was also copped by the Lookout clan, the score being to 3.
 Arthur Johnson, the Baron cast-off, pitched the first affair for the Lookouts and twirled fine game. He showed no signs of weakening throughout the fray and had his former teammates at his mercy Elmer Ponder, the big Texas league recruit, was on the hill for Moley and twirled a good game. even better than Johnson, allowing only four safe ties, two of which coming in the open ing session.
 The second affair was an abbreviated slugfest The Lookouts pounded Bur- leigh Grimes and Karl Black to all cor ners of the field, while "Rube" Marshall held the Barons at his mercy. The Look out twirler showed an abundance of stuff and was invincible with the bases occupied. Errors played a big part in the Lookouts' scoring, the Barons com hitting six costly misplays, each aiding in the run getting.
 The Lookouts scored in the first in- ming of the first setto, which proved
