CENTRAL DEFEATS ENSLEY HIGH NINE Rives HurIs Good Game for
 Central - BerkOwitz's
 Hitting Features

Balsom's screaming liner to center in the tenth inning with two men on bases gave Central High school a hard earned victory over the Ensley High school yes terday morning at Munger Field by the score of to ,, The game was filled with thrills and both sides wasted nu- merous chances to score by poor base running.
 Central got the jump on the Ensley lads when two runs were showed across in the first inning. Rives triped to deep right and counted when Brown threw the ball away trying to catch him at third With two down, Berkowitz singled, stole second and scored on Browns error of Balsom's grounder. Central added three more in the fifth. Barks opened with single, was sacrificed to second and scored on Bakers double. Lassiter walked. Berkowitz doubled and Baker and Lassiter counted.
 This ended Centrals scoring until the tenth, when Baker opened with his sec ond double and went to third on a passed ball. Lassiter walked and Berkowitz struck out. Balsom, however, delivered and the game was over.
 Ensley scored in the fifth. With one down Albert singled and Blaylock and Sherlock walked. Brown cleaned the bases with a triple to center. This ended Ensley's scoring until the ninth, when they tied the game up. Durham opened with a double and scored when Propst repeated Albert singled and Propst scored. Blaylock popped up to Rives, but Sherlock singled to left. Rives then set tied down and struck out Brown and Walker.
 Berkowitz played the best game for Central. Rives struck out 13 of the Ems ley lads. Albert and Keenan played a good game for Ensley.

 acute stage of the pennant race last year.
 Umpire Rudderham will make a report of the matter to President Baugh and the latter will probably suspend Robertson for 10 days or more. Fortunately his loss will not be felt so much by the team now as it would had the suspension come in July.
 Molesworth certainly has the goat of the Schmidtmen safely slowed away in the cellar Four games have been played with the Gulls to date and all are on the right side of the percentage col umn. By winning yesterday the Barons crossed the 300 mark, and if the present gait is maintained, it would not be surprising if they did not again drop below it. There are still three games with the Gulls and it is hardly probable that the locals will gather all of them, but two more would not be two many.
 Schmidt was considerably disap- pointed yesterday at the unmerci- ful pounding accorded Cavet who was looked upon as his best bet
 
 Tex Covington in reserve, as well as Townsend, and either one is liable to cop. However, the Bar ons just at present will give any of them trouble.
 This is in praise of the youthful prodigy, Daniel Clark, on second base for the Barons. He pulled a play yesterday which has hardly had an equal on Redwood Field. It came in the first inning and brought cheers from the stands Mcdowell, first up, dropped one in front of the plate and beat it out, but went out a moment later try ing to steal. Burke took one on in the slats and went to third on Swacina's single. Swats and Burke then essayed double steal. Haus- CT begged like a shot to second and Burke started for the plate Clark cut in and took the throw and bluffed Swacina back to first then ran up and caught Burke off third. Burke was run down and finally put out retiring the side, Clark getting the putout. Danny is playing the game of his young life, and if he keeps it up he is not for Birmingham long.
 As a matter of fact, the Baron infield looks as good as anything in the league and in addition to all that they are lucky. Derrick is a steady, dependable player at first and while he has not struck his stride with the willow as yet he has come through in the pinches, which is the time that counts after all. Words of praise have already been spoken of Clark at second, while Bill Lindsay is getting away lucky at short in that the pebbles he does make are not costly in the games won column. Mcdonald at third is playing a brilliant game and hitting the ball hard. The situation in the outfield is growing more satisfactory every day. Coombs is stinging the ball like fiend and despite his charley horse is getting around the bases quite frequently Caton is already a favorite with the fans and makes an ideal lead-off man. It was O'Rourke's day yesterday and he kicked in with triple, single and double besides scoring two runs. We can't see the criticism that the team is not there. st,sg

Dobard for the Gulls was in the limelight yesterday with home run and a single, besides doing some sensational fielding. Dobard has a little on Clancy in the opin- ion of those who have seen both s work. Incidentally, Swacisa is go- :. ing great just at present. The big first sacker was bomlsarded with all kinds of throws yesterday and ' missed but one of them He pulled > 'em down out of the air and took {. 'em on the. bounce, besides getting a bing1e.
 The effect of new ruling by Y President Baugh was seen yester >, day on the diamond in the chalk ing off of squares to each side of the plate. In this space players next at bat must take their place so as to be ready to step tip to the plate. It is one of Proxy Baughs z little ideas for hurrying up the games. Loud cheers for the presi dent.
 Police at Redwood have been ( instructed to break rp the prac- tice of throwing cushions on the field and at the end of the opener !. four men were put under bond by officers for this offense There is no excuse for it and it is a good move for which Chief Eagan should be commended. r New Orleans beat out Atlanta .ins ' another hectic struggle yesterday aft ' ernoon it requiring il innings to reach : a decision.

 The Barons had much the better of eight and one-half innings of weird baseball as was ever seen at RickwoOd Field yesterday afternoon, and for the third time defeated Mobile by score of 10 to 6.
 Everything went in the battle from fist fights to four bases IeGiti- mate single and it an especially had day for pitchers. Pug Cavet start ed off for the GuIIs and Dickie Robert son mounted the hill for the BarOns. hut neither lasted long. Richard sent out distress signals in the middle Of the fifth and went to the bench stop ping en route to place three" healthy swings to Thomas Remnants jaw for which he was chased hastily. Robertson took exception to the manner of Ten nant's coaching.
 Diclie was followed very shortly by Cavet. who was relieved by Harris. Ponder took the hill for the Barons and after considerable squabbling dur ing which Carlton Molesworth was chased from the field, the game pro- ceAded
 The Barons garnered total of 15 bingles for 10 runs and they were well distributed. Only in the eighth inning. whenN the game had been sewed up. did any of the batters show any mercy to Gull hurlers. The Baron taIlies came two in the first, three in the seventh and one each in the innings between
 Five hits in the fourth, one of them for four bases. counted the Gulls three and one more came across in the eighth Two were added in the ninth on fluke plays for a total of six count CTS. The total hits of the Gulls amount ed to 13, but were not sufficiently punched to do the damage the Baron bingles caused.
 The exhibition yesterday afternoon can hardly be termed baseball, but it was hugely enjoyed by the crowd among which were many of the fair sex, for it was the initial ladies' day of the season and numbers took ad- vantage of that fact. Even the fight added to the occasion for while such affairs are to be deprecated it is not to be denied that the average baseball crowd is not averse to seeing punches swapped.
 The Barons, as usual, started their drive Tor the game early. Alter two were out Danny Clark struck out but went to first when Mig Clarke dropped the ball Coombs' triple to deep left field brought him romping home and Cecil counted when Lindsay stung one to Dobard which the shortstop was unable to handle. The Barons kept pecking away and counted in every in ming up to the seventh, when three were pushed across on successive bin gles.
 The Gulls came within one of tieing the score in the fourth when Burke singled and went to second on Swa- cina's tap to Derrick. Mig Clarke drew screaming single to right and Burk e scored Bromwich singled to left but Coombs' perfect peg to Mcdonald caught Clarke. Dobard cleared the bases with his homer to the center field bleachers. Cavet ended the inning by his fly to O'Rourke after Wilcox S

The star left fielder of the Barons is certainly hitting that ball at this stage of the season. Cecil is batting for almost 500, and has yet to play a game with out securing a wallop or two. He is seriously handicapped by a charley horse as well as the chances of beating out a few raps, but he sticks in the game. His presence in the lineup is greatly needed as he is about the best hitter Moley has on the squad and one of the best in the league.
