The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-07-05

It was in seventh frame of the afternoon ga-.e. the beginning, to be exact, as no one was out. Larry Gil Morrison. Larry uncorked terrific drive to the right field wall that landed somewhere in the vicinity Of the white foul line. That was just the trouble, just where did the ball land? Umpire Jorda, behind the plate, decided that the pellet had burned knot hole in the fence some two feet outside the foul line, while Larry Gilbert and IA other Pelicans argued that it was fair.
 Jorda Saw His Duty
 Now, argument is alright in it's place, but when it is carried to eX- tremes with no let up and empthasizod d with naughty, naughty words, as it is said the Pelicans used, it's time to call a halt Umpire Jorda issued his ultmatum which, when unac- cepted by the Pelicans, went into ef- feet, and the umps announced the game as forfeited to Birmingham.
  actually fair or foul the umpire had made his ruling, and any unruly con- duct ion the part of the objecting team should be punished. Umpire Jorda had his duty to perform yester- day, and that he performed it is certainly something in his favor.
 Would Have Won Anyway
 As it was, it is probable that the Barons would have won the game anyway, as they were enjoying 5 to 3 lead when the grand blow off came. Phil Morrison was pitching in splendid style. and would probably have held the Pels in check through out the remainder of the contest
 The first game was a nip and tuck affair, with the Pels threatening on occasions to carry off the verdict Despite the fact that he has just got ten over an Injury to his hurling wing, Newton pitched swell ball at times, especially in the pinches Only once. in the third inning, did he waVer when he walked the first three men to face him, and then would have pulled out of the hole, but for an error which let in one run.

Bernie died or, base, however, as Vance struck Out the next two Baron batters making it three for the frame.
 In the third, Sheridan, Vance and Rader walked in succession but Gill bert popped up to Traynor. Grif- fifth hit one att Stewart that should have been a double play, but fStuffy bobbled and all hands went safe, Sheridan scoring. Boone hit into .dcuble play, however, and Newton Was out of the hole.
 Barons Last One
 In the fourth, Aliens single, Bran l1on's sacrifice, Newtons walk Tray for's fielder's choice, and Stewards single scored couple more for the Barons. This ended their scoring Tor the day.
 The Pels got their last one in the seventh, when Vance walked, Rader kacrificed, Gilbert grounded out, Grlt- fifth walked and Boone hit one to right that sent Vance home. Leslie grounded out.
 Newton was very wild during the morning affair, walking eight bat tcrs. but excellent pitching in the pinches and splendid support saved him.
