The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-06-01

Pre&y R. G. Allen of Little Rock, and Secretary Billie West of Birming- ham, who watch the turnstiles and pay the expenses were not overjoyed by the results of their side of the ven- ture, which might we'll be termed a financial failure. It was the smallest attendance of the season. You could not call it a crowd and probably half . of those who demonstrated more liking for baseball than their meals were women folks who refused to be cheated -out of their day by idiosyncracies of the schedule makers.
 Almost n Failure
 Neither was it much of a success for John Henry Robinson, veteran south paw, or for "Whitey" Whitehill, q youngster of the same persuasion. Both of them, should have won and at the same time both of them snou1d have lost, and neither did either. Robinson would have won if he had not taken care of "Whitey's" batting average as well as his own. Robby issued John Gooch a complimentary base on balls in the fourth inning to keep him from hitting and then bounced as pretty d hit as you ever saw off "Whitey's'' bat,
 
 By way of demonstrating what he might have done in the critical mo- ynent if he had tried little harder, itobtnson twice struck out MT. White hiil in the latter innings:
 whitey Should Have Won
 "Whitey" would have put the game
 ,ls own row if Doc" Silva had vo. ies Heinie Boil cross him up in the eighth inning, with the result that the Doctor made wild heave which all lowed Don Brown to cross the plate with the tying run.
 ."Scrappy'' Moore provided the home run feature with a pretty swat to center field for four bases in the third inning. It was the Travellers twentysecond home run of the season The Barons started the scoring in the first inning when Emery socked booming triple over son Browns head to the plate. He scored when Bell made low throw to the plate in re. laying Browns return. The Barons got another in the second. Clark, who went hit mad yesterday, started the inning with a single through the box. He was forced at second on pretty play Moore to Boil, when Traynor tapped toward third. The $1O,O00 beauty stole second and scored on Aliens single to right.
 
 Travellers still one run behind
 Barons Pull Ahead
 The Barons pulled one further ahead in the fourth. Clarke beat out a slow enc to short. Traynor lifted to Harper. Allen grounded to Wano, advancing Clarke. Gooch was Intentionally Tassed. Robinson tried to slip the first enc by Whitehill, but it didn't slip. The ball was right in the middle and MT. Whitehill socked it to right for single, scoring Clarke. Silva popped to Wano for the third out
 The Travellers scored one in the fifth. when they should have had two. After Sloan had gone out on close play. Bernsen to Whitehill, Land hit a hot one back to the pitcher which he could not handle. Robinson got his second hit of the game. a single to right. which put Land to third. Mcdonald 1ouled out to Bernsen, but dropped a rretty Texas leaguer over short for two bases. Land scored. but Robinson saw Emery trying hard for the ball ana took so much tinc moving up that he got no farther than third.
 Pebbles Knot Count
 After that the Travellers were still one behind, but they got that one in the eighth, after two were out. Brown singled to left Boil singled to right Heinie started for second but turned back and Silva tried to make quick throw to first to get him, but the throw was wild, the ball rolled across the in field and Brown scored Wano popped to Bernsen.
 The Barons gave the little gatherins "a scare in the ninth, bur Robinson pulled out. Clarke doubled and Tray nor sacrificed Then Robinson pitched his best and famed Allen. Gooch was gwen another pass and Robinson car ried out his plans that time by flaming Whitehill,
