ny HENRY VANCE

Actually!
 Putting the reverse English on things Birmingham won a ball game, instead of losing one in the ninth in- ming Friday.
 E However. if truth must be told, they made game effort to lose one in the ninth before they made a gamer one to win it.
 < Carlton Moleswortn, spending his last day in Birmingham, before he ships for his home in Frederick, Md, sat in the grandstand and saw his former hirelings win a game at last.
 Maybe it was a farewell party for Moley. that the Barons decided at last to win a ball game.
 { And, then. there is an old saying, "you can't win 'em all." Well, that holds good to losses as well, l guess. -rMatty's brood entered their half Of the ninth with the score standing "a against 'em. When the game reached it's climax Birmingham was on the grinning end of a 5-4 count.
 How Barons Won
 Robertson was safe at first to start the last half of the ninth when he hit one to third and beat the throw there. Whitehill attempted to sacrifice with a bunt and Third -sacker Wight tried to pick up the ball and failed IL rolled foul after it had touched his glove and Whitey was safe. Johnny Sugar Kane then pulled a foolish bit of maneuvering. After he had at tkmped to bunt twice, he tried 1t for the third time, and was out for bunt- ing on the third strike.
 FJohnny Neun then walked to the plate and brought in the tying run with safe crash to right field. Bobby scoring and Whitey moving over to third base.- Stuffy deStew won the ball game with long sacri- flee hit to center field, which Clayton made a wonderful catch of but to no avail, as Whitey scampered home and the game was over.
 Blew In Ninth, As Usual
 A ninth inning blow up came as usual for the Barons. but luckily 1t failed to lose the game. With the score tied in the ninth inning and one out, Burkett was camping in left field He had been sent there earlier in the game because of the fact that Stump Clarke had been banished by Empire Bulldog Williams. Neiderkorn sent a line drive into left and Burkett got under the ball -.-itl. time to spare. Unused to the glare or the sun in left field, however, he allowed the ball to fall safely, and on this error Neiderkorn circled the bases and came home It was four-base error.
 Whitehili In Form
 Then, the Matties came in and lost little time in getting revenge. It is we'll that they did. for 1t would have been held nothing short of criminal in any court in the land if Earl Nhitehill had lost that game. The BaroIfials lefthander. who represents the best pitching talent on the Bir- iningham club. was in superb form throughout and yielded but three hits for the nine innings. .n spite of ragged support and in the face of almost sure defeat he pitched his arm off to win. And, finally he saw his efforts bear fruit, even if he did have to go about furnishing part Of the offensive that won the game in the ninth. There was not an earned run off Whitey's delivery. Harper. Stewart and Kane pulled the costly errors that came near losing the ball game for the locals. These three pebbles did not represent the total output of miscues, however, for the homelings uncorked five errors in an effort to kick away as pretty a pitched ball game as has been seen here this season. y
