The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-21

in the first one yesterday. Ten runs in the first inning-that was a record in itself. Occasionally the Barons take an ing scores.
 That game was almost as bad as the one with Atlanta on June 29 Then they didn't jump it to us all at once. They took it by degrees, inning by inning, all though they did net 24 runs instead of q. The Barons have a habit of going forth to battle on Sunday and coming home a complete wreck. We were not complete wreck yesterday. however. as we managed to take one.
 Sunday was a day of surprises Who'd have thought that Ray Roberts could pull stunt like he did? We thought that our Samuel Crews had the monopoly on that. This is the second no-hit game of the season, and it must have been a humdinger. Only 26 men were credited with having faced Roberts, the 27th be-
 ink walked, and caught - bases a little later. It was not a walk-away for the Crackers, however. They collected only five safeties and two runs themselves.
 The Atlanta Frankmen are either a whale of ball team or else were formed on Friday night, the 18th, with a ton of horseshoes gathered around. No doubt they don't care which it is, as they seem to be hitting a lively stride lately, and that is what counts For one week S work they won seven games and lost a single game that to the Barons. | Every time New Orleans is defeated | it means that she is brought down just that much more. Every time Little Rock I Lat N1Ntv sare 1 just that much more out of reach. ~r i The manager of that crack Atlanta negro nine was in to see us yesterday. | He is mighty confident that his team l is going to mop up with the copper-col- ! ored Black Barons. three times out of | three. He is so confident that his nine will win that he will give $500 to the Edgewater bunch if they take two of | those games. His team has completed a very successful trip to Chattanooga
 mopping up there.
 The Cubs. the same Atlanta bunch, have
 won 15 straight games at Atlanta. The
 manager of the team claims to have a large number of white boosters and back CTS at that burg who were constant visitors to Poncellor park, where the games are played. He claims that Cholly l Frank is one of them. We would like to 1 see the Atlanta Cubs lose, if for nc other motive than revenge.
 1 The truth has been found out about
 Maddox, the one-armed player. He is really the pitcher, and not an outfielder 1 as stated in other papers. He is said tc | be a hitter of highest ability. Come ou
 to Redwood to the game this afternoon | at 330 o'clock and let's see if he is really what he's cracked up to be. ol | just another freak from Atlanta.
 Jack Dempsey will fight in England after all He has agreed to meet th' l winner of the Carpenter Beckett figh in London, the date to be decided later
 You know us, Jack; go in and whip 'en all
 California is not the only place wher' fancy feminine diving is included amons the other scenery.

 Look at that bird Summa! Ten time at bat and five runs, 800 batting aver age What are we next to expect? Thi I time. Sat Summa is surely no othe
 kind of fruit than a peach. We hope tha
 "Sat" is not showing us the flowers, bu The real fruit.
