The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-05-08

Moleys men will be fighting with their backs against the wall in the Lookout series. for the Razorback clan is merely a breath's length at the heels of the Barons, and the breath of the Mountaineer feels hot to the. heels of the coal beavers. If Eddie Mcdonald. field manager of the Chattanooga outfit. can pep his clan up another notch of speed, and succeed in taking three games from the Barons, the coal beavers would be overtaken. downtrodden and left in the lurch, meaning, Birmingham would drop a peg in the standing and Lookoutville would advance.
 Bates to Pitch
 The lankiest coal heaver of the bunch will probably be placed in the path of the Lookout this afternoon, for Red Bates, who chunks em across with dazzling speed with his right finn. will more than likely be Manager Molesworth's pitching se lection this afternoon. Railbirds like Bates style. and the fence should be lined with spectators at the Baron lot this afternoon.
 Just who will be sent to the hill by Eddie Mcdonald this afternoon is not definitely known. but it is Logan Drake's turn to pitch. and the husky young right handler might draw the assignment. Feats of Spoke Emery and other Baronial outcasts, when pitted against their former mates. cause shiver to creep down the col lective Baronial spine at mention of Drake being today's starter, for the penny always comes back. and the Barons suffer. Drake would not be easy for the Barons. provided he is sent to the mound today
 The Barons have just emerged from week of rain and Vol battling. two thorns in the side of localdom and came off none the worse If Moleys men pass the Lookout series success fully, they should be all set for a dash upward
