The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-06-19

Philathea Phil Morrison made Johnny Suggs look like an Epworth leaguer in comparison. when it came to pitching Saturday afternoon, and the Moleyian Marauders breezed through to a 8 to 1 victory over the sensational Atlanta southpaw. While Merry was snapping a wicked wrist, and the Barons were welding a mean cue in rushing through to a triumph of the Atlanta series, fandom settled back on the cushions and witnessed the fastest ball game staged here this season.
 Looked like something dug from the dim, dark past to see those knickerbockered athletes rushing rushing through the plays with light ning-like rapidity Saturday after noon. They were on their toes instead of attempting to be on the umpire's neck. and as a consequence the con- test was completed just one hour and thirty minutes after it had been started.
 over 1000 in Attendance
 Something over 4,000 dyed in the woolers paid the admission fee and war tax to get a peep at the week end affair. Atlanta had won one, and Birmingham had captured one, leav- ing the count on a fifty fifty basis as the rival ball clubs went into the final and deciding battle.
 Manager Bill Rariden looked over his pitching stock and decided that Johnny Suggs, his ace looked like the best bet in the final fracas. As Johnnys name was announced, a groan went up from the stands, but the Baron tossers smiled grimly.

The lambasting the Frankfurters had given him in that initial frame, how ever, had only left Phil smarting un- der the collar. He begged Moley for a chance to redeem himself and the chubby chieftain granted it.
 That gets us to the beginning of one of the greatest baseball battles staged here this season. The sun was doing tamale impersonation. and the air had worked itself to the blue- flame stage as the battle moved into action. With two men gone in the Crackers first half, Phil allowed Fred Smith four wide ones, and Fred die promenaded, Mayer singled to left and Allen let the ball get through him. This placed men on sec ond and third, with two down. Philip. however, buckled down to business and caused the next man to face him 10 hit an indisposed infield grounder and to die at first,
 Barons Score In First
 Carltons cloutillery then trained Its guns on Lefty's delivery. Tray nor and Stewart were failures with the willow to start things off and Emery came to bat under a two-out handicap. He looked 'em over and walked. Then Herrick proceeded to show disdain for the mighty begging Aarm of Bill Rariden, by attempting 20 steal second. His effect was suc- 'cessful. Tommy Taylor, who is hit ting in the cleanup position while Dutch Bernsen is nursing a wounded finger, was next up. The Texas Ter TOT picked one of Suggs' pet offer fngs out and slammed it to the wallis in right as Emery cantered home with the first Baron run Silva's grounder to short was pie and the in- ming ended.
 Allen sun at It
 Following this first blood, the battle evolved into a zero competi- ton. For the next three innings J Suggs was invincible and Phil was just that. too, with plus mark at-
