BARONS AND PELS
 ID MEET THURSDAY
Deciding Game With the Crackers Today-Road
 Trip Disastrous

Moley and his band of bold and battle scared Barons will return home tomor- row to meet an invasion of the New Or leans Pelicans at l 4ekwood. The Baron chieftain and his men will complete a weeks play on the road with today s clash with the Crackers.
 Either Arthur Johnson or Preacher Perryman will be sent against the Crack CTS in the deciding game today The Cracker boss will probably send Sheehan to the mound to oppose the local slug gers.
 The Barons played good ball yesterday, but lacked the punch to put the runners across the plate. Then, too, some ot Moiey's best hitters are doing nothing but fouling out on every trip to the plate. This will not continue forever, and decided change in the teams play should be noted within the next few days
 The defeat yesterday at the hands of the Crackers made the total of defeats on the road four and victories two. The Barons are now one game below the .50C mark, and only short distance from the cellar. A little spurt would carry the team into more desired re- gions. Let's hope 1t comes

Deciding Game of Year To- day-Whiteside's Offer
 ings Pounded
By TOMMY HAYNES

Hitting Whiteside's delivery freely, the Birmingham College Panthers scored a to 1 victory over the Marion Institute Cadets yesterday afternoon on Munger field. The Panthers hit the ball to all off the visiting twirler.
 Whiteside pitched good ball until the eighth inning, however. although he was never effective. The Methodists gained a one-run lead in the second, and added another pair of tallies in the fourth.
 The Cadets scored their only tally in the fifth inning on Bourgeois triple to deep left and Wilkes single to the same garden. The Cadets never threatened again and Ardis was their master at all stages of the conflict.
 Walkers homer with one man on base accounts for the Panthers' two runs in the fourth while five consecutive hits in the eighth produced four markers. The Cadets played good ball, however, and neither of their errors aided the Panthers.
 The two teams clash at Munger field again this afternoon in the deciding game. Marion has won two games, while the locals have also won pair. The game today is regarded as of much impor- tance, and both teams will use their strongest line-ups. Nation will twirl for the Partners, while Coop will pitch for Marion Both are southpaws. The game starts at 315 o'clock.
 Sargents hitting featured for the Meth odists, while the fielding of D. Holloway featured for the visitors.
 Homer Norton played his last game with the Partners yesterday. He batted .521 for the season. securing 25 hits in AS times at the bat. He led the team in slugging and hitting.

Crackers Outplay Barons
 and Win Second Struggle
Fulenweder Pitching Holds Barons Helpless in All But Seventh Round-Hi Strong in Pinches-Crackers Get
 Early Lead-Tex Mcdonald Hits Hard
By DICK JENIIsON

Atlanta. April 24-(SpeciaI) )-The Crackers won a well played game to- day from the BarOns, Fullenweider outpitching speks Hill and getting q 2 to 1 verdict
 In addition to twirIing great ball, il was FuIIenweider's walIOp to the score board for the three-quarter way stop, followed by a smash by Bridweli' through Danny Clark, that netted the winning tally of the game. This hap pened in the eighth stanza.
 FuIenweider kept the Barons' four hits well scattered and only in the seventh inning when the Barons tall lied their lone counter did they get man past second base. In this round they got two of their four blows. net ting them their tally
 Tex Mcdonald starred for the Crack CTS, putting them in position to score early in the game by smashing out two screaming triples, but Hill showed splendid pitching and kept the Crack CTS from bringing him the remainder of the way.
 Fast double plays by both sides Tea tured the fielding and only one error was chalked against the two teams, this boot of an easy roller by Jake Munch.
 Munch tallied the first run for the locals. He hit one on top and 1t bounced high into the air in front Of the plate. Before Hill could catch the ball Munch had crossed first Midl1iff nearly knocked Hill down with line drive. but he flagged the ball and tossed him out at first Munch going to second, from where he tallied on Perkins one timer to right field.
 The Barons tallied a tying counter in their half of the seventh. Coomhs slammed single down the left field foul line, nice fielding by Moran hold ing it to single. Clark fouled out, but Coombs advanced to second on Ellis roller to Bridwell and tailed when Caton shot line single to center.
 The winning run was tallied in the Crackers half of the eighth as related above.
 The final game of the series will be played Wednesday, weather permit ting. Tonight the sky is overcast and the forecast is for thundershowers

NOTES OF THE SHOOT

Charlie Goodrich kept up his good work yesterday and only let four slip by him in the 150 race.
 Tom Hale from Tennessee was running Goodrich a close race, missing only six out 150. Gentry Hillman had his own gun today and couldn't hardly let any of them escape. Tate Mason was shoot ing in fine form and very evidently had his eye on the target instead of his gun.
 l.. B. Hummer was right along with the top notchers.
 T. K. Lee, known as Track Hole Lee" sure made holes in the targets he shot at and for the few times he has shot at the trap his score was wonderful.
 Walter Huff was not shooting quite up to his average for Walter usually just busts 'em all at Birmingham.
 MT. J. H. F'ite did not let many of them get away Those Tennessee shooters are sure some target breakers.
 E. R. Holt did not have the old gun that he usually shoots here, for he used to just break them all, but this one let some of them escape
 Mir T. T. Tood a South Carolina ex-
 
 Ss.
 J. K. Warren, the vice president of the club, was looking after the shoot in MT. Ryding's absence, so did not put over as good score as he usually does.
 Tom Cassety was breaking his targets so well, making smoke out of them, we just wondered how those few escaped him.
 O. l.. Carl was about right in the hand1- cap and landed first place.
 Andy Hill, the smallest man. on the ground, has not shot at Birmingham for sometime, but still knows how to bust 'em.
 Lee Moody shot good through the en- tire programme and landed third place in the handicap.
 Dr. J. H. McDuffie is very popular shooter and can always be counted on to make good score.
 Capt. Andy Meadows, the oldest shooter in the south, and the most popular shoot CT, never misses a Birmingham shoot, and we always feel honored to have him.
 Ollie Williams of Nashville missed a few, but Ollie is about the best sports man, for he enjoys the shoot if he does miss a few.
 R.NH. Baugh wasn't shooting so bad for ''him." But he is some fine fellow if he can't break them all.
 T. L. Samuels from Montgomery Is a new shooter and made a nice score. l, Dr. Noland was in such hurry to get away he shot so fast he was not able to put over as good score as on Monday.
 c. M. Brady from Chicago never misses a shoot here, and usually makes a good score.
 John Fletcher did not get out in time to

Barons Start Long Home Stay Thursday

New orleans, April 24-The first New Orleans-Atlanta series which came to a close with Sundays game, indicated (a) that these two teams are at present the strongest in the league, and bid fair to fight it out for the championship; (b) that games between them for the rest of the season will be the most exciting played by any two clubs.
 The same old rivalry that existed be- tween Cholly Frank, when he managed New Orleans, and Billy Smith, when Billy managed Atlanta, which amounted to aI- most feud, exists again between Frank, on the Atlanta end, and Jules Heinemann and John Dobbs.
 Franks telegram to President Baugh, in which he threatened to take his team from the field if another popbottle was thrown by occupants of Heinemann park bIeachers, brought a hot response from Feinemann
 The charge that we are not giving protection to visiting players is absurd, . he said, and worse than that, when it comes from Frank. We have more police at the park every day than Frank had the entire 10 years he was manager here. If one mischieveous man or boy in a big crowd wants to fling a bottle he is going to get away with it now and then, police or no police, but every time such a thing as this happens we try to find the perpetrator. That's what our police are for
 "l am really surprised that Mr. Baugh should take cognizapce of such tele- Pral a . Er2nE'S The New Orleans club has had little or no trouble of this sort under our regime, but in Franks days we lost games by forfeit and were con tinually in hot water. I recall at least

two riots, in one instance crowd Of several thousand swarming the field and some of them assaulting an umpire with their fists It was fine protection Frank gave umpires and visiting clubs.
 "The rule which the Southern league now has, fining a club $500 when 1t for feits a game, was passed to curb Franks practices. which have hurt baseball in more than one city and once nearly killed it here. This threat to take his team off the field is an old gag of his. It didn't work very well several times when Judge Kavanaugh was living. Once, you remember, Frank defied the league aud barred an umpire from his park. Judge Kavanaugh declared three games forfeited and New Orleans lost the pen nant thereby.
 q am holding no grief at all for the man who throws the popbottle. That's not sportsmanship, and we are going to be more vigilant than ever against It. But Frank is making a mountain out or a molehill in this instance, because he thinks he can embarrass his successors in the administration of the New Orleans club"
 Hoinemann thinks that Frank is going so far to hurt baseball in New Or leans as to try to make a fiasco of all games he cant win.
 "T can see no other reason for his leaving Hess in the game Sunday after it was apparent to everybody that Hess had no chance in the world to win the game" he said. 'He had three-run lead on us in the first inning and if he was playing the game conscientiously he certainly would have taken every pre- caution to keep us in the hole but he pre- fe1red to make joke of the game rather than to win it. These are tactics that President Baugh should look into. It is not the players who are in such sad need of protection; it's the spectators. They should be protected against the methods of Frank"

shoot only the handicap, but did not shoot quite as good as he usually does, for Fletcher has been leading the Bir- nlingham bunch for a long time.
 Dr. Sellers looked to be a winner in the handicap. but let two slip by him in the last event.
 Fred Shireman shot good in the handi- cap for new shooter.
 Ira Armstrong has not shot for year. so his score is good.
 R. c. Osburn only had time 70 shoot 80 targets but he only let seven get away.
 Mrs. Carl, well she blamed it on her gun for not rolling up better score.
 The ladies are sure serving us good things to eat, even chicken and all the trimmings with a good dinner.
