 Earl Gets Poor Start
 Little Earl Whitehill, a youthful buthpaw, got off to rather poor senrt, but after that he hurled grand ball and, but for 8 comedy of errors during the eighth inning, would not have been scored on for more than he two runs which the Birds 'egiti- hately pushed over in round one.

 I measured heaves cleverly. one
 cd hit was all the Birds nicked hitehill for through the second,
 rd, fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The eight inning was enough to ve Whitehill a pain. After Bailey Id Gilbert had been retired in quick |der, Traynor threw badly to first
 Knaupp's grounder. after cleaaly cking the ball up. Griffith singled
 right, sending Knaupp to second. kWhitehill uncorked wild pitch, d both Knaupp and Griff moved up peg. Ike Boone stepped in with rsxas leaguer over short, scoring <naupp. Pug" Allen threw to the ,late to catch Griffith, and might lave had him, but Brandon let the ,all get through him, and Griffith 'cored. while Boone went by second md headed for third.
 Some More Boobies
 Whitehill picked up the ball to catch Ike at third, but heaved to left field, and Ike was easily safe. Ike came tearing home, but would have been dead out, if Brandon hadn't let Aliens peg get through him. Ike scored.
 Leslie walked, and came all the way home when Bogart doubled to he rightfield fence. Deberry struck odt. and ended it all.
 Through the entire game. Bailey vas bearing down like a master, and le kept up the good work to the end, the Barons sn order in their ninth.
 Birmingham only had one real ,hance to score That was In the fifth round, when Clarke led off with ! single, and stole second. He stayed here, while Silva flied out to left. ut went to third after Larry Gilbert taught Aliens long fly in deep cen CT.
 Brandon hit wicked grounier ,ast Bailey, and for a time 1t looked ike a sure hit But Leslie raced over md scooped 1t up while Bailey gall oped over to first and, by a neat ross md as neat a catch, Brandon was put. Leslie to Bailey.
 The second game of tho series will ,e played this afternoon. Vance CT for the Pelicans, and Eber- ,ard for the Barons, are the proba- ,le hurlers.
