DOUBLE BILL SPLIT BY AVONDALE MILLS
 AND VIVA BOTTLERS
Two Good Games Seen in the Elimination Series for City Title-Big Crowd
 Sees Games

In two closely and hard fought games, the Avondale Mills and Viva divided double header yesterday afternoon at Redwood Field before large and en- thusiastic audience in the city elimina- tion series. The Millers copped the first game to 0 and dropped the second struggle to the Bottlers by the same count
 Both teams fought hard for the games. Sensational fielding added in- terest to the games, although errors allowed runners to score for both teams. The Millers were the general favorites before the battle to cop both games but the ability of the Bottlers to hit Hill, take advantage of misplays and speedy work on the paths caused the fracas to end with an even split.
 Smoky Bob Loveless was on the mound for the Millers in the first game and had the Bottlers at his mercy throughout the game Only two infield hits were registered off Loveless and the Bottlers never presented a very dangerous opportunity to cross the platter. Riddle pitched a strong game
 
 and the Millers were presented with both of their counters. The Bottlers never passed second during the entire game.
 The Millers scored their first run in the third. Hill singled as an opener and swiped second. Wofford booted Johnson's grounder and Hill counted by some speedy base running. The sec ond tally was scored in the fifth. H. Tncker a nj dn11hla n ter and took third when Stewart at tempted to catch him off second. Hill raised long fly to center and Tucker scored.
 Riddle and Stewart were the only members of the Bottlers who were able to get a safety off Loveless.
 BOTTLERS GET START
 The Bottlers got the jump in the second game and were never headed. Carroll crippled to deep left and scored a moment later when Johnson booted Riddles grounder. The second tally was pushed across in the fifth. Stewart beat out a bunt. J. Goldstein walked. Moril bunted and Stewart was forced at third. Sargent hit an easy roller down the third base line and after hesi- tating Hill threw wild to the initial sack and Goldstein counted Loveless was then sent to the rescue and held the Bottlers safe for the remainder of the game.
 Aylock tripled in the seventh with two out but Sargent took care of the next batter for an easy out.
 Tucker played a nice game at short for the Millers, while J. Goldstein in left for the Bottlers played a consist ent game, fielding his position per- fectly Ellis held the Millers to four hits and fast fielding helped him to keep the home plate safe.
 The next game of the elimination se ries will be played Tuesday when Viva and Avondale Mills tie up again. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company team is leading the teams in the series with two wins against no de- feats,. while Viva and Avondale are tied with two defeats and one win. The game Tuesday will eliminate either Viva or the Millers. A hard game is expected.

PITCHERS GOING FINE

Preacher Perryman and Dick Rob- ertson are also moving along at break neck speed. Dick has pitched but one game since his return from Bonesetter but showed that he still possessed enough stuff to prove a winner in the league. In fact, it can be truthfully said that Moleys staff has gained its form and hereafter defeat to the Barons will be administered only through a loss of pitchers duel.
 The Barons do not return home until August 30, when they meet the Peli- cans in a double header. If the winning stride can be maintained until that time, the Moleys will be welcomed by an old time crowd. Birmingham fans must have a winner and the present rate at which the team is travelling will certainly uncover the old spirit
 Although it is too late to win the gonfalon second or third place can be occupied. The Moleys are in third place, eight and a half games behind the Pelicans A sensational finish, which has a good start with the present wins, will alone place the Barons in the next best. The spurt will continue to hold the at tention of the Dixie fandom, and es- pecially the local followers. It's some thing worth while.

Karl Black Pitches MOleys to Sixth Consecutive Win.
 Team Going Good
GOOD PITCHING IS CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE
Team Scores Seven Wins Out of Last Nine Games-Travelers Pressing Closely-Moley Has Machine
 Working Perfectly
By FRED BoDEKER

When Karl Black pitched the Bar- ons to their sixth straight victory yes- terday afternoon over the Memphis Chicks, Carlton MOlesworth anchored his crew at the .5OO mark for the first time since the first week of the pres- ent season. Incidentally the win kept the BarOns in third place, with the Little Rock TraveIefs pressing closely.
 The victory brought to a close the most successful week of the present campaign. The Moleys played nine games and won the verdict in seven of the battles. Not one of the Baron de- feats were by wide margin, showing that Moley has finally got his machine stripped for action.
 The accomplishment of the Barons brings surprise to the local fans, who had given the Moleys up as a hope less cause. The team is not of the calibre of the former teams which have represented Birmingham, but the fact that Moley has piloted the crew into third place and lifted the percentage column to 800 speaks exceedingly we'll for the chubby leader
 The Barons started their winning spurt something over a month ago but were greatly hampered by rain, which caused numerous games to be post poned. Moley then began work to key the team back to winning pitch and accomplished this with the ending of the final home series with the Mem phis Chicks at Redwood Field a week ago. The Moleys then departed for Chattanooga when they won four out of the six games played.
 WIN SERIES FROM CHICKS
 The jump was made to Memphis, where the Moleys made a clean sweep Of the series, winning all three games. The team is playing great ball and there appears but little hope for the Barons to suffer checking. A series is started in Little Rock Monday with the squirting Travellers, and provided the Barons pull through the series with colors flying, local fandom can expect to SC Moley and his bunch make the leaders tremble
 Good pitching is probably the chief reason why the Barons are moving at such a clip. Every twirler on the staff has given an excellent account of him. self during the spurt. Mo1ey has called on each twirler and each has responded with a victory.
 Burleigh Grimes, the star finger sold to the Pittsburg Pirates for delivery at the close of the present campaign, is pitching great ball. Burleigh has met but two defeats in his last II starts and although he was knocked from the hill in Chattanooga, he came back the next day and saved the first game and annexed the second. Karl Black is also pitching fine ball. the southpaw holding the Chicks helpless yesterday in addition to winning his last three starts. Elmer Ponder shows that he can be a winner provided he is started regular, the big recruit hav- ing gained the decision in his last four games.
