The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-04-23

At times it would rain. then the sun would como out, then a rainbow or sc would appear in the heavens, then ii would get all black in the ozone again, and the fans would huddle and shiver.
 It was an afternoon replete with sum shine and shadows, base hits and bunts, boots and bobbles bad and worse um- pres decisions, listlessness and what not
 CHICKS GRAB LEAD
 Tho Chicks started off by grabbing 2 four-run lead. and every time the Ba- rons made couple of runs and threat aned to overcome the lead the Mound City boys would add on a couple more. In other words, the Moleys didn't have & chance to overhaul the league leaders. Young Mir. %ahnsed started off for the visitors on the mound and at the be- ginning the stock Memphis right-hander had a little bit of everything on the han, and was perfect rebus to the local larruppers. In the sixth, however. his stuff checked up as minus ouan- tity, and Spencer Abbott fell all over himself getting the lad out of the box and rushing Boyd to the rescue-
 WHITEY KNOCKED FROM BOX
 Lofty WhitahilI, the Baron ace started things for the Moieys on the hill, and Whitsy started something he couldn finish. Earfs twisters and teasers and smoke balls and slow ones, which have caused other clubs to breeze the att nosphere this spring. looked like they were made to order for the Herculean Bluff City aggregation. Whitey lasted through three turbulent innings, and then groped for the faucet which turns on tho showers. Phil Morrison relieved Whitey, but the inmates of the poultry farm also found PhiFs delivery to their liking and proceeded to dent it in sum- dry places
 BARON CASUALTIES Aside from losing the ball game, the Casualty list was heavy for the Moleys, and the wounded in action list ran Up pretty high. To begin with. Pug Allen contracted troublesome charley horse in the early innings, and was later forced to retire from the combat. It is feared that this injury will kep Pug on the bench for week. Shortsmth Traynor injured his hand in going after a ground ball, but stuck out the game, and will probably be in the battle today. Stump Clarke, while at bat in the eighth in- ming, followed out the style adopted by those charming sisters of ,flapperhood; and de-eyebrowed himself on the left side oi the face by batting ball into
 
 bark off his forehead and was forced to give his outfeld berth to Hilton Bran don, Quick Silva having relieved Allen in left.
 Outside of these injuries the Barons got through with everybody else on their feet and the fans on their ears at the climax of the combat. Pug Allen is the only man who will be out for any length of time, and it is thought that rf<x-r J TSI~ 1. IL. part in the game today, which closes out the locals home series.
 The Chicks. who look like they might be heavy eaters as well as heavy hit ters, if appetites build voluminous physi- cal specimens, hoped off to two-run lead at the very beginning of Friday afternoons battle. A couple of walks to High and McLarry, a sacrifice hit by Camp and singles by McMillan, Yockey and Hendrix, gave em a duo of tallies at the hop-off. In the second they ran tho total to three. when a single by Hungfing, sacrifice by Zahniser and a one-ply clout by McAillan produced a tally
 They cfsaiked another in the third and made 1t . four-run lead when a hit by McLarry, an error by Bernsen and 8 single to the middle garden by Yockey pulled the trick
 PHIL GOES IN
 Aft1r tho third, Moley applied the der rick and pulled Whitey. And all thts time Zahniser was breeding along emu latfng something that closely resembled an enigma Phifs debut on the firing line whas disastrous. He gave the pitcher and Andy High free bookings as far as first via the base on balls routes, ai- lowed McAillan to single and Camp tc double This strung the total out to a half dozen runs. and with Zahniser bFeexing along and not slowing up for the tlrns, it looked like the Barons were hopelessfy out of it
 EMERY GETS TRIPLE
 HmWy's three-bagger, however, stirred things up in the Barons' half of the fourth, and following his blow to deer
