The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-08-23

 Little Rock, Ark, August 22.-Lil stoner couldn't pitch for Detroit. but pitched right smartly for Birming ham today--pitched and hit--and the Birmingham Barons got their third win in set of four games with the Little Rock Travellers. ' to |, You might say that so far as Little Rock was concerned the annual baseball luncheon was a miserable failure. Financially, 1t practically was total loss, for there were very few fans foolish enough to spend money on the game. It was only here and there about the grand stand that one could locate a disgruntled cash customer among the fair fans' who went out because it was ladies day. The best feature of the game was that the athletes didn't waste any time, and got the thing over within one hour and 31 minutes, siv- ing the Barons all kinds of time to catch their train which was the ob- ject of the 12:10 start.
 Helpless Before Stoner.
 Reverting to MT. Lil Stoner; why A hard working, hard hitting pitcher like this boy should be called -'Til" we don't know, and don't care much. Maybe he doesn't go so well against 8 ball club that takes its baseball seriously. Things being as they were today Mir. Stoner had the situation under control as effectively as did Lefty" Whitehill the day be- fore.
 Lil didn't get but four Travellers on strikes but he didn't allow as many base hits as did his southpaw team mate the day before. In fact the Travellers made Stoner look even better than Whitehill did, because it was only a couple of times that they had him the least bit worried.
 The Barons and the Travellers combined to make it an easy day for Stoner by starting him off with a three run lead in the third in hing, and Mir Stoner made it easier by hitting himself a triple in the fourth inning with three Barons on. MT. Stoner also scored, giving the Barons four runs for the inning, and running their lead up to seven. All that MT. Stoner had to do after that was pitch and he didn't overlook his duty.
