 Condition

The Pratt City aggregation, p strong, will leave tomorrow morning for Cincin- natl, when they will clash with the Nor woods, champions of the central division, in the elimination series for the national baseball title. The locals will play two contests with the Norwoods
 Friday will witness a day of rest for the Pratt boys in Cincinnati On Satur- day and Sunday, the games will be played at Norwood, suburb of Cincinnati.
 The local tossers are in excellent con dition for the series and their followers are confident of victory. Should the locals defeat Cincinnati, but one other team-the winners of the eastern division would be between them and the national championship of professional teams.
 Manager Welsh is undecided whom he will work against the visitors. He will work Bob Loveless and McWhorter, a southpaw, against the Birmingham team tomorrow, so as to have his regular moundsmen fresh to send against the Norwoods.
 The Pratt aggregation has practiced daily for the past several weeks, round- Ing into shape for the series, and should they go down in defeat, they will have no excuses to offer. There is no doubt, however, but that the Pratt boys will make an excellent showing, although they may suffer defeat.

FINK GILLIAN WILL CAPTAIN AND COACH PANT HER ELEVEN
Star Halfback's Amateur Rating Will Not Be Eff fected by the Ap-

Tink Gillam will coach the Birmingham college gridiron squad.
 This announcement yesterday morning by Ed Norton, graduate-manager set at rest all rumors who would succeed Charlie Brown as leader of the Partners. Gil- lam's services to the team will not be lost as a player, however, for he will not receive pay for his services and thus his amateur ranking will not be eff fected.
 Gillian is also captain of the Panthers this season. He has starred for the Methodists for the past two years and his appointment in charge of the football squad indicates that his ability was plain ly recognized by the school authorities.
 large supply of promising material will be on hand for Gillian to work with and there is little doubt but that the team will be a winner. Several of last years best men have been lost on ac- count of volunteering for war service, but great supply of raw material will insure the Partners of winning eleven

New Orleans, September II.
 (SpeciaI.) )--Bfrmfngha won a free
 hitting contest from New Orleans
 here today, 0 to 3, making it two
 out of three for the series. The
 Bnrons traiIed along until the
 seventh when they pounded across
 three runs and forged into the
 lead.
 From then until the games end the Moleyites played stellar ball and the Pels never threatened Carmen Hill, the bespeckled hurler, pitched airtight ball after the sixth and was never in danger. He was touched for II hits one more than the Barons secured but he was invincible in the pinches.
 Southpaw Bailey mastered the Bar ons until the fifth when they tallied once. He managed to pull through the sixth as the result of excellent field ing by his teammates, but in the seventh extra base blows sent across three runners and the game was won
 Each team made one error and both figured in the scoring. Consequently only two runs were earned off Hill while nine were earned off Bailey
 The Pels scored in the second on Edmondson's triple and Stansbury's single. Gilbert's triple and Knaupp's single scored one in the third. Tn the sixth Knaupp's triple scored Barbare with the final Pelican marker.
 Sheehan's two-b -bagger with Caton on scored the Barons' first marker in the fifth. while hits by Duncan, Coombs, Hill. Southworth and Sheehan scored three in the seventh. Hits by Southy, Webb, Haworth and Duncan added four in the ninth
 The support of the Barons was sen sational. Several times Hill worked into dangerous holes. especially in the early part of the game, but fast and sure fielding by his mates always pulled him out with colors flying Southworth's work in right and Ca tons work on short was brilliant.
 Both teams left here tonight for Bir- mingham, where they play tomorrow. smith will work for the Pels with Ponder on the mound for Moley.
