The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-06-24

Atlanta, Ga, June 23.-tspecial.l- The Atlanta Crackers celebrated re- turn to their old hitting form that has been so sadly missing these many days, and, at the expense of Red" Bates. lambasted a 14 to 0 win over the Birmingham Barons In the fourth game of their present se- ries. Oscar Tuero, pitching for the locals held the Birmingham batters helpless, he celebrating a return to form after the rainy day few days ago when his wildness caused him to be relieved.
 With runners on the paths, he was invincible. and the support that he was given by his teammates kindled D spark of hope in the breasts of the loyal Cracker fans.
 The bright stars Of the game would be hard to name, because all the lo- calls hit we'll and fielded their posi- tions. The only error chalked up against the locals was made by "Dutch" Bernsen, but in the light of a later one handed stop of q hard hit ball by Kane that had three bases labeled on 1t in large readable let ters, this first slip might be well overlooked.
 Bernsen Stars nt Bat
 Bernsen.s hitting was of the va riety that might just as well be called sensational In order to have 1t over with. When ever hit was needed, tho big first sacker deliver
 C1C that went for more than one sack. He had a perfect day with the will low, garnering two triples. double and a single for his four trips to the plate.
 He was crowded closely. however, for the hitting honors by Big Chief Guyon. who slapped the first bali that Bates offered him In the first frame clear under the sign boards in deep left. At the crack of Joe's bat, Silva turned around and ran for the big boards Ike a sprinter at the crack of the starters pistol. and with any one except Guyon. with his speed, Silva might have returned the ball to the infield in time to hold the runner at third, but not Joe Guyon. The Indian also hit double and beat out bunt to finish off the day.
 smith Also Hits
 Doc Smith also did some nightly fine work with the willow, getting a triple and three singles for his five efforts at bat. Oscar Tuero got two out of three, one of them a double to start the fifth inning.
 Only two members of the clan failed to get at least ono hit. These were Fred Graft and Heck. The for- mer scored one run and the latter two, though. to make up for this little oversight, and every member Of the clan scored at least once, which Is in itself a rather remark able achievement considering every thing.
 The outstanding fielding feature of the day was pulled by Sammy May CT. when he captured Silva's long drive to left center. sammy was go- ing back at full speed and the force of the drive nearly carried him off his feet when he snapped the hit. It was a terrific line drive. and Sam my got 8 fine hand when he walked to the bench.
 Tuero Tn Form
 Tuero, in the light of later hap penings in the hitting line. was practically forgotten by the cash CubSuiuCAS. A1ie pitSHtu& Wudi0 hhNS won the game even if tho locals had not lambasted Red" Bates to all corners of tho lot. Guyon's homer would have won the game. for the little Cuban without his teammates Hitting spree, because he held the visitors to six scattered hits and only in one inning was the Slagtown ag- gregation able to get man to third. On this occasion the entire Cracker team rallied around that ono, who happened to be Kane. and
