The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-05-27

Although nothing official has emanated from Cholly Frank as to his hurling choice for todays melee, it IS probable that Ad Brennan, who bested the locals here in the last series will get the cal. Moley Will work Black or Comstcck. Blackie won hls last game with ease and states that he feels fit to grab off an other contest, if called upon today. The Crackers have just won a series from Chattanooga and are playing pretty good ball4now.
 Eddie Mcdonald will get back in the game tnis afternoon, going back to his old position at the hot corner. This will necessitate moving Jansen back to short, where ho played for d number of games before Montegut's arrival. The change should add hitting strength to the team at least, and if Janesn does as well at short as ne did at third, everything will be all night. Dutch Bernsen, at first, is showing some improvement both at bat and m the field, but the big boy IS still below his stride. Bernsen is ex- pected to recover his swatting prowess with the coming of hot weather for the
 
 his batting proclivities during more han one season in the minors.
 The showing of Danny Clark has been disappointing thus far, especially to Danny, ,y. ho worries over his batting slumpS more than anybody else. Danny is sure to come around soon; in fact, he is rapidly getting his eye on the ball now, having hit safely, at least once, in his last six games. Danny batted over .3;0 last week, which sounds more like the youthful Keystoner. No need to worry about ClarKs hitting.
 All three of the outfieiders have been performing Jam-up style all season. Altenbery has never let up in his hitting, and Pat Duncan has handled his share of the work in creditable shape, while ;outhwoTth's fielding has featured nearly every game. We haven't seen better outfield in the league yet, and we have seen 'em all work out at Redwood.
 The pitchers have done noble al most from the outset and the backing given them has been enough to break their spirit Slapncka has shown more stuff than the others, although Hill has pitched grand ball in spite of his lowly average Glazner did well during his stay the game Friday being his only mediocre performance. Comstock has hurled better ball than most pitchers. but IS Stlil among tHS ldlleHdeIS III lHe percentage column. Black showed some of his old-time effectiveness in his last game and, may be ready to take his reg ular turn on the mound. Long, who has pitched but two Innings this season, wifi get his chance, now that Glazner has departed Tommy is slated to work ev- cry week during the hot summer months, when double headers are as common as political conferences.
 Behind the bat both Haworth and Smith are showing improvement with the willow. Both receivers started off poorly, like the rest of the team, but Red Smith particularly. is hitting hard now. In the Nashville series Homer Haworth hit safely five times out of Il tat bats" which is almost 800 per cent. The morale of the team is excellent and there is no ''crabbing.' nor internal eissension that sometimes creeps into t,e ranks of losing aggreSations Every fellow is working for Moley and the game all the time and with this spirit intact. few set-backs will not seriously impair Baronial pennant chances, no matter how slim they may appear to be at present.
