The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-06-30

Eagement by a count or to /. In esting, in fact proved two of the best . Spectacular fielding plays abound ed, while there was enough hitting on both teams to make the scoring and fans who sat in on the twin engagement voted the air of games a real afternoons enter tainment.
 Homers Decide
 Home runs were the deciding fac- tcrs in each of the games. A wailop over the right field wall early in the first game by Guy Tutweiler practi- cally settled that engagement, while the Barons returned the compliment in the second affair, when Pitcher whitehtll contributed round trip blow with two men on the run-ways.
 Tutweiler's home run came in the very first inning of the first game, and put the finishing touches on the matinee as far as the result was con- cerned. Ashley Pope had retired the Barons in order in their half of the first inning, and Mike Eberhard started out as if he intended doing the same for the Bears, as he struck out the first man to face him. How ever. Wagner belted a single to right field, and took second when Mullen was hit with pitched ball. On Null vey's long fly to right, Wagner moved to third, and after Mullen stole second, Tut unloosed his elev- enth home run of the season, sending the two base-runners home in front of him.
 Bears Score Again
 The Bears added another in the second on .Pope's single, which Emery let get through him for three bases, and Golvin's double, while the fifth local tally was manufactured in the fourth on Schulte's single.
 $ Five runs to the good, Pope began taking things easy, and the Barons began creeping nearer and nearer They scored run in the fifth on double by Traynor and single by Bernsen, added another in the sixth on B combination of two hits. wild pitch and steal, and then threat ened seriously in the seventh, this round witnessing the departure of Pope from the mound. The heat be- gan to tell on him toward the close of the game. and at the time Lefty Sigman was sent to his relief Ashley was groggy, and coming up only now and then for air. Sigman went to the mound with two men on and no out and quickly pitched clear of trouble. The first man to face him hit to the box, and Sigman turned it into double play, aided by force out to Mullen at third and the lat ter's good throw to first to double the batsmen.
 Bernie Messed Up
 The eighth brought lots of trouble for Sigman, and it appeared for moment as if he might be trimmed He grew wild after two men were out and the Barons filled the bases. Eberhard walked and Traynor sin gled; Stewart was hit by a pitched ball, filling the sacks. Emery walked. forcing Eberhardt home. The count on Bernsen narrowed down to three, and two when he swung at a ball, missed it, and ended the inning. Had Bernsen decided not to hit at that last one, he would also have walked, forcing in another run, but the Bar on first-sacker aided the local cause, and occommodatingly struck out. Sig man got into no trouble in the ninth and the Bears held their two runs ahead.
 Second Game.
 . The second contest opened with Whitehill and Fulton as the oppos- ing twirlers but the Baron southpaw was jerked when the Bears began to crowd him. However, Whitehill was m the game long enough to, win it Tor himself as he hit for the circuit in the third inning. The Bears had gained lead of run on an error, sacrifice and Ponds double to cen ter, when Allen opened Birmingham's half of the third with single, Bran don furnished a single to right on a hit and run play, sending Allen to third. Whitehill fouled one drive over the right field fence and after Fulton got the hatsman in the hole he sent one through where the Baron pitcher could get hold of it and he again hit it over the fence, fair this time and three runs marched home.
 Bears Stage Rally.
 The Bears staged a rally in the sixth inning and should have at Ieasr tied up the count, but bad base run ming on the part of Billy Mullen cost the tieing run. Wagner was safe on Taylor's error to open the round and Mullen singled to center. With Null vey at bat, Wagner stole third and kept on home when Brandon's throw was wild. Mullen took second on this overthrow. Mulvey then laid down a perfect bunt which he beat out. Mullen tried to score on the play and was out on a throw from Bernsen to Brandon. Just a second later
