The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-05-31

g The opening performance which went the regulation innings and much beyond the regulation time, went to the Rarens, when they spoiled q pretty pitching duel between Philip Morrison and Claude 5onnard oy pounding Claude for three hits and three runs in the ninth innings. When they started their big offensive the score was solidly tied at and ,. Harry Emery gets the credit for breaking 4ihe tie, his two-base smash down the first base line and into the right field over Flow pounding in the first of the three runs.
 Another, Pitching Battle Z The second affair was anotherthurl- .tng combat with Conrad Fields and < Karl Eberhard the combatants. and Conrad the winner by close majority i and by virture of superior pitching.
 Credit for the two runs scored off Karl must be dividen between Harry Harper who hit triple in the fourth, Bill Wano, who drove Harry in with a single, and Don Brown, who socked the daily home run in the sixth, mak- ing 1t genuine baseball.
 A traveller game doesn't look like the real thing any more unless there is at least one home run among the Lase knocks.
 Emery Stars
 By way of distributing the honorable mention due the various athletes who .sparticipated It was necessary to bring the name of Harry Emery into the .-story of the second game, also Harry was the reason that the second game was close, for his work in center field cost the travellers three hits and several runs. Without Harrys help Karl probably would have lost heavily
 Barons Deserved to Win
 In spite of the fact that Jonnard pitched some very good ball, it has to be admitted that the first game rightfully belonged to the Barons, who far out-shone the Travellers in the battle or brains and strategy into which it developed. The good right arm of John Gooch which cur down seven Travellers who tried to steal second, also swayed the con test in favor of Birmingham.
 By proficient use of his head and his arm, John broke up about everything the Travellers tried on the bases and at times the home boys, advertised as clever ball players were made to look foolish by the way they were out-guessed.
 Gooch Used Bean
 John guessed correctly on every oc- casion and always had a pitchout or dered when Traveller attempted to steal. It got to be almost uncanny and had the Travellers quarreling dluOHS iuSiuoGlNSS DclOIt lnS game was over.
 The result of clever handling by his battery mate was that Philip Nor rison continued to look as good as his big brother Johnny who used to do the star pitching for the Barons. Philip seems to like our ball yard for the two best games he has pitched this year have been against the Travellers at Kavanaugh field.
