Birmingham bat.mcn fell up,

Birmingham batsmcn fell upon
 the offerings of dimlnutive
 George Fentress yesterday after
 noon after hIs teammates had
 given him lead of three runs
 and pounded over enough tallies
 to easily take the final and de-
 cidinE game of the series from
 the Memphis Chickasaws. The
 Chicks had one big inning-the
 third-when they tsllied five
 times. The Barons scattered their
 scoring from one end of the game
 to the other, scoring a pair of tall
 lies in five rounds. The final count
 was 10 to 5.
 Carmen Hill, the bespeckled
 tvIrler of the BsrOns, who has
 eight straight wins to his credit,
 started the hurIinG duties for the
 Moleys. He was hit hard from the
 start and after five safe blows
 had been bunched In the third and
 as many taIIies registered Moley
 dispatched Preacher Perryman to
 the hull at the start of the fourth
 stanzn.
 The Parson pitched noble brand of kall. He allowed the Chicks only four safe blows, none coming together. He was also accorded excellent support and that figured prominently in the Barons' holding Barger's men in check.
 RED SMITH STARS
 Red Smith, the stock catcher of the Barons, did a good days work with the willow. Red strolled to the plate on four occasions, each time with the bases oc- cupied, and for each of the times he walked to the plate, he drove out a safe hit.
