UPHILL STRUGGLE WOW BY BARONS AS RESULT OF PUNCHED SAFETIES
Cutler Freberg Match Has
 Interest of Local Colony

When Charles Cutler, the noted Ameri- can grappler, and John Freberg the champion of Sweden, meet at the Jeffer- son theatre on the night of July 4, one of the most even and interesting matches of the season is expected. Freberg and Cutler are great local favorites and the followers of both are expected to be out in full force to root" for their choice
 F'reberg is in training daily at the Bir- mingham Athletic club The big Swede works out several hours every afternoon and is in the pink of condition He has won the reputation among the local fol- lowers of the mat as the "gamest of the game
 The legs of the Swede which were con- siderably punished in the bout with Waldek Zbyszko several weeks ago are now in excellent trim and he will enter the match with no handicap as the result of any of his previous injuries.
 Cutler has been wrestling frequently of late and his work has been better
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-30

than any time previous in his career. He is clean wrestler and as the result of his two previous performances on the mat before the local colony he has estab- lshed scores of friends
 Promoter Brown Parkes states that he is expecting capacity house. It is the first wrestling match offered in Birming- ham the Fourth of July night in a number of years. Preparations are be- ing made to accommodate more than the usual capacity of the theatre. .
 Cutler will arrive here within the next few days. He has been in Texas for the past few weeks and comes to Birmingham after a week of strenuous training for the bout with Freberg. He is at present in training at New Orleans.
 E. J. Parry will referee the bout. Par rvs work as the third man on the mat has proven highly satisfactory and the fans will no doubt welcome the announce ment that he will officiate in the com ing tilt. Several classy preliminaries are also being arranged by Promoter Parkes. The entertainment will start at S30 o'clock

days game. If Atlanta should win both ends of the double bill with the Mobile Gulls, they would pass the Barons by about the same mar gin as the Moleys now stand on top.
 Moley and his men are going to use every possible effort to make a clean sweep of the series. Of course, winning three of the four games played would be entirely satisfactory, but to think that the Pels were busted from the lead by Barons singlehanded would speak well for the local aggregation. The Pels can be expected to fight as hard against losing the remaining two games as the Barons will be fighting to win them.
 The work of Umpire Kerin yes terday was not very satisfactory, while there was some kick from the players on the decisions of Um- pire Marcan behind the plate. Ker- in missed several plays, which brought jeers from the bleacher- ties. one fan throwing a pop bot tie and another a cushion when McDonald was called out at. sec- ond in the sixth inning on a very close play.
 ,Todays game will start at 3:30 o'clock An unusually large crowd is expected.

Final Home Clash With PeLicans Today

Bespeckled Twrler Will Be Called Upon Try Register Eleventh Straight Win for Tribe-Smth, Kelly
 Robertson to Pitch for the Dobbers

Boss Carlton Molesworth will send Carmen Hill, the bespeckled twirler, against the Pelicans this afternoon at Redwood in the final clash of the series here. Manager Johnny Dobbs will use either Clarence Smith, a local product, or Herb Kelly, southpaw. Smith will most probably be his selection. Hill will enter the fray with ten straight victories to his credit
 The victory yesterday pushed the Barons into second place. Con- sequently, this morning the Barons are half game in the fore of Charley Franks athletes and are only a game and half behind the Pelicans. Provided the Barons can win today's contest they will be only a few points behind the Pels.
 Sunday will find the Barons in New Orleans for the fourth game of the series. Elmer Ponder will work, while Dick Robertson will probably be sent against his for mer teammates by Dobbs. It is probable that Robertson may be sent against the Barons today.

round. Baker led off with single to right, and was forced at second by Bar bare Red Bluhm drove the ball to the center field groove for a circuit tour
 In the third, the Pels tied the score After two men were down. Jack Stans- bury walked. Edmondson singled to right and Webb let it get through his hands, allowing Stansbury to score and Edmondson to take second. Baker hit a hot grounder to Caton, and the short fielder booted the ball. Edmondson scored with the tying tally.
 The Pels took the lead in the next rcurd-the fourth Red Buhm singled as a starter. Higgins and Johnson were easy outs with no advance, but Larry Gilbert's double to left field scored the visiting first sacker with the marker which placed the Pels one run to the good.
 The Pels had chance to score in the fifth, seventh and eighth, but Comstock frightened in time to stop a threatened rally.
 The field was very slow and the poor fielding can be attributed to this condi- ton. Another large crowd witnessed the fray.

fourth session.
 The one-run lead of the Pels held the Barons at bay until the fatal sev- enth, when the local performers got busy and tallied three times before the side was retired. After the fourth, Ralph Comstock steadied and held the Pels safe although he was forced to work out of several bad holes as the result of misplays by his teammates.
 It was Comstock's sixth straight win. The spitballer was not as effective as in his former engagements but he was strong enough in the pinches to escape with a win.
 NO GOOD FIELDING
 TLere was no sensational fielding as was the case on Thursday It was the exact contrast. Five errors were com mitted by the Barons, and two of that number figured prominently in the Pels' scoring The Pels are credited with a couple of pebbles and exactly half of this number was factor in the Barons' SCOT ing in the opening stanza.
 The victory of the Barons was very timely It showed the Barons past the Crackers, and this morning Moley's men are entrenched in second place in the league standing for the first time in months.
 With the exception of the first and seventh innings, Johnson pitched fair game. He was continually in trouble, as was Comstock, but both managed to es- cape. Johnnie walked Doc Johnston and Eddie Mcdonald as a starter and Cecil >Coombs beat out his bunt down the third base line. Danny Clark lifted a pop fly to Red Bluhm, and Al Ellis followed with pop to Baker.
