 Splendid Support and Win
Doc Johnstons Fielding and Hitting Features Contes-Crac CTS Get Lead, But Timely Hitting in Latter Part of
 Game Places Franks Men Rear
By DICK JEMISON

Atlanta, April 23.-(SpeciaD-The Barons gave Elmer Ponder splendid support in the first game of the series with the Atlanta Crackers here this afternoon, winning well played game, to
 Long distance hitting cOpped the game for the BarOns, tapping the slants of Bressler for double and two triples, though only one of these wal iops really figured fin the run getting.
 The Crackers got off to a one-run lead. only to be tied by the Barons, who took the lead in the sixth and tallied what proved to be the winning run in the sew enth session. The all-around playing of Doc Johnston at first base was the out standing feature of the game. Doc field- ed Tn approved style, ran bases well and slammed out four wallops, double and a triple being mixed up in the allotment. Southworth and Coombs got two wallops apiece.
 For the Crackers the catching and hit- ting of Young Picinich, loaned to the Crackers by Connie Mack, was the best. His begging was as good as any catcher has shown here in years, while he got couple or them away safely with the willow, though he hit the ball hard on every trip to the plate.
 The Barons started like winners in the opening frame when Johnston doubled. but smart fielding by Cable on South worth's infield hit kept Johnston from scoring and Picinich picked Doc off third moment later. Sing.es by Mcdonald and Mayer and Munchs sacrifice fly tal- lied the first run of the game for the Crackers in the second.
 Singles by Johnston Southworth and Coombs, the last two infield wallops, filled the sacks in the Baron's fourth and Ellis long fly to Mayer scored the tying run. Johnstons triple and Coornbs' sacrifice fly put the Barons in the lead in the sixth. Johnston did some splendid base running on this.
 The winning tally was shot over the pan in the seventh when Ellis slammed one up against the left field dump. Fast fielding by Moran held it to three cush- ions. Caton's line single to center tal- lied Ellis. The Crackers added one in their half on singles by Munch, Pici- mich and Cable.
 Sheehan relieved Bressler at the start of the eighth and held the Barons safe, but Ponder breezed along also holding the Crackers al bay.

Gossip About the Barons
 And Baseball in General
By FRED BoDEKER


 have an abundance of work to stay in perfect condition, while Perryman must not be worked as hard. With six twirl- CTS on hand however, 1t takes long time for the twlrling duties to work around to each man. One days work a week Is not enough for any pitcher. Moley, however, knows enough about working a pitcher and hell get the best possible out of them.
 Doc Johnston certainly had his, eye on the ball yesterday The former Pirate slammed out four hits in as many trips to the plate, including a double and 8 triple. Dock gets his hitting streaks. and when he does land the ball safely he makes it count And that's the kind of a man who is of great value to any team.
 Rube Ellis had an opportunity to show that he possessed a mighty fine arm again yesterday and he again demon- strated his ability to peg from the gar- dens. Rube nipped a runner at the plata attempting to score on a fly to his gar- den. And in addition, he got three-bass blow. The big fellow looks little bit better every day and no doubt he will continue to improve under the guidance of Chieftian Moley.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-24

 The Barons showed a complete reversal of form in yesterdays clash with the At lanta Crackers, and as the result Moley' s men chalked up 8 victory, consequently crushing a losing streak which had been in progress for three days. Elmer Pom i. der and the Barons' bats turned the trick and the crew is situated at the 500 mark once again.
 The Barons, however, were overdue in the respect of showing little form. The pitchers and players had been badly off form and had lost three straight games to the iowly Mobile Gulls. The victory over the Crackers indicates the Barons can play ball at least once and a while Moey and his men must face the At lanta aggregation in a pair of additional contests before leaving Crackerville. The Barons beat two of Charley Franks best hurlers yesterday in Rube Bressler and Sheehan, both formerly of the Athletics. The Dutchman will probably send Shee- han back against the Barons today, while Moley will probably dispatch Carmen Hill to the firing line.
 If the Barons can take both of the re- mainng conflicts from the Crackers, they will return to Redwood with success full trip after all. Of the five games played on the road thus far, the Barons have won two and lost three. Another pair of victories would make four victories and three defeats for the brief tour. The Barons are back at Redwood Thurdsday to entertain the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnny Dobbs and his clan are making things warm for all the boys now and it's up to the Barons to apply the skids under the Crescent City az gregaton. The Birds are always in the pink of condition for the start of the season and as the result get the jump. Dobbs starts his men in training in the middle of February and by the time the middle of April has arrived, his men are playing in mid-season form.
 The Barons have a much better team than the Pelicans, however, if the opin- ion of a number of scribes on the papers of Cleveland, Washington and Pittsburg can be accepted. They all witnessed the Pels and Barons in action and all stated Moley's aggregation loomed up fully 25 per cent stronger than the Dobbers. We must see for ourselves, however.
 Howard Douglas arrived in Birming- ham yesterday from Mobile. Moley sent the recruit twirler back to the Magic City instead of taking him to Atlanta Douglas is one of the twirlers secured by the Barons from the Pirates and he has failed to live up to his recommenda- tions as yet.
 Moley hasn't suspended Douglas or anything of the like but merely is say
 ing the big twirler to g1ve him a chance against the Pelicans in the series at Rick wood the latter part of the week. The Baron boss intends to give his veteran hurlers more work and see if that does not round them into better condition Hill, Ponder, Black and Johnson must

Sufferers Should Realize That It Is a Blood Infection and Can Be Permanently Re- lieved.

Rheumatism means that the blood has become saturated with uric acid poison.
 It does not require medical advice to know that good health is absolutely dependent upon pure blood When the muscles and joints become sore and drawn with rheumatism, it is not a wise thing to take little salve and by rubbing 1t on the sore spot, expect to get rid of your rheumatics.

JAMES BEARD SIR.

DIED, at his home near LeakesviIle,
Miss. ,on Saturday August rs, 1917 at
$50 o'clock A. NJ. Mr.. James Beard,
Sr., aged eighty four years and sever
al months old. He had had long
lingering illness being bed-ridden for
about year. In fact his health has
been giving down on him for the past
two or three years. Still he was q
remarkably hale man for his age, hav-
ing very hardy constitution. He
had an old war wound which broke
out on him at the beginning of his
sickness, but it finally healed up,
when he developed kidney trouble
which took on the dropscal form that
stayed with him till the end. He is
survived by large posterity, having
number of grown sous and daugh-
tiers who have founded families the
children of whom OF some are mar
ried. The Herald expects some one
conversant with the family history to
get up suitable obituary to his mem
orv, naming the sisters and brothers
living and dead and the sons and
daughters, his war record etc. From
its foundation up till the time his
faculties for reading failed him, be
took the Herald and was loyal read
er, being member of our original
pioneer list. His achievements in
the political sphere of county life are
worthy of nntion alsa in the paononra-
billa, he having served a term as
county treasurer and also on the
Confederate County Pension Board.
