 That defeat seemed to take the starch out of the Barons and their fan supporters as well. There was a decided silence as Jack McClain ] lannounced the batteries for the sec ond game. The general impression seemed to be that the Moleys had no chance with Newton on the | mo of "a d such brilliant battle and lost.

McMillan grounded out, but Rhino Williams crowned Docs next groove special for three-base wallop and High came in. Moley lost little time in applying the hook.

 l Then, when the Chicks were pre- sented with another tally in the sec ond, all hope was abandoned. The old reliable Stuffy Stewart had made 1 the costly error in the first affair.

 They made their total two in the ninth when Johnny Gooch was solely ] responsible for 8 run. but this left 'em still one behind. Clarke popped ] up to start the frame and then John Beverly slammed a line-drive over inc right field walls. Brandon, hit ting for Morrison was an easy infield out and Traynor followed with safe blow. It was the last faint hope Stewart changed it to dying gasp by hitting a weak one to the pitcher and going out at first
 Barons Lacked Punch
 Now that the debris and wreckage have been cleared away, that tells the tale. Birmingham didn't have the punch. Memphis did. Birmingham couldn't get one. of the breaks. The Chicks got 'em by the armful. The hero of the first game, from Chick standpoint was that little rascal Tom my McMillan. Tommy fell far short of getting as many hits as some ol his mates, but on two occasions hs lifted out sacrifice flies which scored two of the Chick runs. High, whS got double, two singles and base on balls in the first game, drove il the other tally. while Stewards bob
