The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-07-01

tacular infield work by the locs
 Carmen Hill pitched for the Moleys and the bespeckled twirler registered his tenth straight victory. Hill was in rare form during the early rounds and with the exception of the fourth and ninth frames pitched shutout ball.
 It was the great work of the Baron inield which saved Hill on numerous occasions. None of the cerdit of the timely win must not be taken from the big hurler. however, for in addl- sion to pitching good ball he wielded bis willow very effectively. A double " him in the second frame put the Barons in the lead, while he secured another safety which prompted ral- 3y in the sixth.
 POP BOY SMITH POUNDED
 The pobbers staged a losing bat tie from the start. They fought hard for the first few rounds, but when the slants of Popboy Smith began to be pounded from one corner of the field to the other the spirit of the leaders withered and it was certain that the Moleyites would triumph. Smith was touched for 13 hits, includ- ing four doubles. Errors behind him. however, was of great value to the Barons.
 The Barons played as brilliantly as on the two previous days. Time after time the Pel batters would crack out . seemingly safe hit and some Baron lnfelder would make a spectacular play to rob him of his safety. Every man on the Baron infeld performed excellently yesterday, with the ex- ception of Doc Johnston and his fail- ure is because he didn't have the op- portunity.
 Moley's men lost no time in getting q good start, scoring their first mark CT in the initial round. Doc Johnston walked as a starter and Eddie McDon- ald put him down to second with sacrifice Cecil Coombs brought him home with double to center.
