The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-08-12

Longy Eru,c Osborne pitched a very creditable game, in spite of his chesty appearance over the arrival of a bouncing 12-pound boy in his fam fly just previous to the opening of the game. Those Barons only com nected for eight swats off Osborne, but those were of the hefty variety and game at the crucial points of the argument
 Two triples and two doubles were included in the seven base knocks registered by the Barons for their five runs.
 Crackers Only Chance
 Back to the Crackers only chance in the eighth, Mayer and Wingo opened the session with singles to center and right respectively. MT. Kaufman lifted to right, but Sammy elected to hold third Freddie Graf9 got his second hit of the matinee. and Sammy romped home, and Red Wingo stopped on third. George Schmidt forced Graff at second, and Dutch" Schmidt drove one to center for two bags, and both Wingo and Schmid [ came over. Bill Rariden relieved Osborne of the hitting task against the left-handed Whitehill, and Bill got a free pass to first Joe Guyon was rather helpless against MT. Whitehill so Herb Brenner was nominated to hit for the Injun. Bren- ner hit hot one to Pie Traynor, and the rally stopped immediately.
 Tries SfeaI Home
 There was little in the contest in the way of thrills. Emery tried to steal of home in the fourth. but a nifty piece of work by Dutch" nipped Emery by inches as the Baronial centerfielder slid homeward. Richard Kaufman made a nice stab off Taylors bat in the eighth that robbed the Baron of his trial for the third hit of the afternoon. The Crack CTS had exactly twice as many run neSs perched aboard the sacks as the innings ended which only speaks for Whitey's ability in the pinches, and the Crackers inability to put over the necessary punch.
 MoIcy shifts Lineup
 Molesworth shifted his batting Cr- der considerably again today, and with success the Baronial boss also discarded the straw hat for a cracker cap. which might or might not have had some bearing on the supersti- tious element.
 Richard Kaufman returned to the game for the Crackers. and George Schmidt went in at short, as Red" Smith showed up ailing for the day. The Barons confined their run plak- ing efforts to three innings. The fifth, sixth and eighth. Tommy Tay- Tor lifted one over Red Win.go's dome for three sacks in the fifth, and raced home as Allen punched one past Freddie Graft Graf might have handled the ball, but he didn't and Tommy raced on as Allen took sec ond. Lefty Whitehill then poked one to right for "Pug's' transportation home.
 In the sixth Traynor walked, and Taylor singled. Doc" Silva then made things safe for the aftern oon with a two-time swat out. to. Sammy Mayors pasturage, and two runners came over
 Traynor's triple past Sammy Mayer in the eighth, and Dutch" Bernsen's lofter to Guyon added the fifth and last run in the Baronial column
 Dewey Marshall took Osborne's duties in the ninth and retired the Barons in swift order, striking out Bobby Gooch with such ease that .he Baron catcher became Tiled and cs s, his hat amidrift Whitehilrs amidsiip The youthful twirler did the curling act, but caught enough breath tc take his turn at the bat and retire three Crackers in the ninth MT Marshall will probably catch MT Morrison in the third game of the series.
