The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-04-25

Nine thousand and tWenty-Iour IanS paid to see the match and many others saw it without paying. They were perched upon house tops and tree tops surrounding the park. And the urchins who occupied tree-top seats must have shed tears of envy for not being in the party. It was the second largest crowd that ever paid to see ball game in the historic old park located in red elm bottoms. The largest paid attendance previous to yesterday was when 9,623 fans paid their way into the park for the opening day of the 1916 season.
 TWO-BAGGERS
 Ground rules were necessary and all hits into the crowd were limited to two bags And well nigh all the hits were in the crowd But dhe home folk of course enjoyed it. for the home boys out- oatted the out-of-town boys.
 In the victory there was revenge for the Chickasaws, for it was the Barons who the day before halted the Chicks, who had won six straight games, and administered to the tribe it's first defeat . of the season. But the Chicks swatted themselves out of the throes of the Barons and started a new winning streak The Chicks have now won seven and lost but one game.
 M'MILLAN AT BAT About the only features of the game were the batting of both sides and the short-stopping and batting extraordinary of one Tommy McMllan, the tiniest of the tribesmen, and the second passing and batting extraordinary of one MT. stewart of the Baronial team. Of Mo Milan and Stewart we will inform you later.
 While we have no history of baseball feats at hand. it is believed that various and sundry records were either estah- lished or some records tied during the batting match. Incidentally, what, if not a record at least for two-basing in Class was established by Tommy McMillan who handled ceanly nine assists and one put out at short. But ah, there is more about Tommy, of which we will inform you later. The batting match started in the first inning and ended in the last During that time the ChiclSasaws wer, batting three distinctly different pitcher, and the Barons were batting but one. tho gigantic Fred Marks. right-handeG tribesman
