a wee bit wilder than the Chicks.
: Consequently, Birmingham copied
the opening game of the series from

poured across the plate like cinders
from the smokestack of one of those
big jacks that block Twentieth street

have been as effectively washed off
the map Thursday as if the flood
gates of The Netherlands had been
opened on the Baronial park.
f. Stuffy Stewards men scored at
first five frames. Then they called
a day. and spent the rest of the
: afternoon setting the Chicks back in
. defeat.
:. Roy Moore, new southpaw of the
Barons, was on the mound 1t must
be admitted that the only reason
Moore went the route was the good
will of his mates, who dubbed out
such a lead for him that Roy
couldn't very well lose it, In gen
eral. however, Moore was fairly
strong in the pinches. Only twice
did he falter. and then it was when
two Chicks walloped out nome runs
with two men on base. Those circuit
smashes accounted for six of the
= Tribes seven runs.
Theirs To Avenge.
There were two FASTENERS at Rick
wood Thursday who were playing
against former mates. and hoth nau

run. Miner also distingui shed nm

The fans paid tribute to both-Taylor

Miner. the former Chick, who robbed
Tribesmen of an extra clout with
