The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-05-13

Thursday afternoons programme brought forth cracking good ball game in the first go, and a cracking bad ball club in the second contest. The first was pitchers duel between Eberhard and Noel, with the latter having the edge in the hit column and the former winning out in the run de- partment Eberhard, making his debut as a Baron, made a mighty favorable impression, and pitched airtight ball in all except the ninth inning, when the Lookouts hammered out three birgles and scored a run. Up to that point, the former Pirate had pitched shutout ball. and had allowed but four safe swats.
 EBERHARD SEEMS o. K.
 Reviewing Eberhard's work, how ever, it must be stated that he seemed to have world of stuff on the bah, and if his first game is any criterion, he should prove winning pitcher for Carlton. Quack Rick & Go.
 Noel who opposed Eberhard in the initial struggle, pitched a masterful article of ball and really deserved better fate. An error put the first run on base. and a wild pitch following 2 three bagger, was responsible for the scoring of the winning run.
 IN MEMORIAM

The stands stood with barred heads, and after the star studded flag was hoisted the game got going. Then again in the fifth, the band played America and everybody stood up again. Many tI,.1 stiles before the game and were ad- mitted free by the Birmingham Base ball associations
 BERNSEN GONE
 The NIoleys faced the opposition with a changed lineup at the start of the first game. Dutch Bernsen had been called to his home in South Carolina aon account of the illness of his wife, and stump Clarke, Baron utility man, went to first and hit in the cleanup position. Stump delivered the goods Thursday, accepting all chances with out a pebble. and delivering also as Barons two hits in the engagement against Noel, and came back in the second go with one wallop out of two trips to the plate
 It's been a crate of moons since baseball battle started with the hec- ,ticity of Thursdays first game. For three innings, Noel pitched to the To- calls and sent them back benchward in one, two, three order. For four in- nings Eberhard was equally as stingy, allowing the Lookouts no hits and re- tiring each man in order
