TOMMY TAYLOR LEADS BARONS TO VICTORY Y OVER ATHLETICS, 8-5
Tom Daniels Pitches Great Ball During Five Innings on Mound-Ninth Inning Rally Almost Proves Fatal to- NBarons

> Terrible Tommy. the Taylor, pat termed Thursday afternoons baseball game at Redwood when he cut into Connie Macks Athletics with wick ed willow attack and sewed up the game for the Barons. Led by the peppery third baseman, Joe Dunn's pastimers came through with clean-cut s to victory over the Phi1adelphians, after Earl Whitehill had supplied the stitch in time that saved nine, when he settled down and retired the side after home run over the right field wall had clouded matters up a bit.
 fThe Barons entered the ninth in ming six runs to the good. but that terrible ninth inning jinx was with them to the last, and Whitey started the Macks off on their best foot by walking Riconda. Of course Dykes followed with bingle to center, and Hunefield sauntered up as casually as you please and lazily clouted one over the right field wall. Three runs came across the platter, and still none were out. Whitey settled down in noble fashion. however, and re- tired the next three men.
 It was the first victory of the year for the Barons, and they earned 1t cleanly Of course Connie Mack didn't send his best team to the Magic City for the battle. In fact. there were only a few regulars with the squad. But the game will go down in the history of 1923 baseball as a Baron victory over the Athlet- ics, to ,.
 Joe Dunn's twirlers seem to be rounding to shape these days, for the jovial Baron boss used only two hurlers, while Harry Davis-in charge of that particular squadron of Athletics-sent four hurlers to the hill before the afternoon was over.

 Daniels Does Well.
 Tom Daniels started the game off, and Tommy pitched great ball dur ing the five innings he adorned the mound. K Daniels allowed only four hits and one run during his five in nings, and showed unusually good form for this early in the season. Whitehill, generally speaking, was in good form, but two long distance blows played havoc with his record.
 1t was Tommy Taylor's bat that sent the first Baron run across the plate. Trefry, who is now leading off for the Barons. hit one to center. and went to second on a passed ball. Clarke went to first when hit by pitched ball. Taylor slapped d single to center and Trefry scored. Stump Clarke was caught at third on the front end of an attempted double

steal. Taylor going to second. Danny Clark hit to center and Taylor scored. Miller popped and Brenner forced Clark.
 In the fourth, Daniels had his one bad Inning, and the Macks scored a single counter. with one out; Welch walked and scored on Ricondas s sizzling two-bagger to center. Ri- conda took third on the throw-in, but was caught at the plate n the relay of the ball after Walshs peg home had gotten past Robertson. Hunefield struck out.
 Taylor At Work.
 Two more came in for the Barons in the fifth. Robertson was safe on an~error; Meekin, pinch hitting for Daniels, sent two-bagger to center that burned a blue streak as it went. Trefry walked, and the bases were full. Clarke struck out, but Taylor clouted a red hot single to center. and Robertson and Meek In scored. Danny Clark popped and Miller flied out.
 With two out, Riconda hit a two bagger off Whitehill in the sixth. Dykes single sent him home with the second Philadelphia run. Hume field, who was destined for greater things later on, again ended a rally by grounding out.
 The eighth saw a full-grown rally for the Barons, one that eventually turned out to be the winning factor for the Barons. Ely balls by Taylor and Clark in succession were drop ped by Rice and Welch, respectively. Miller singled, and the bases were full. Brenner forced Taylor at the plate. Clark was forced in when Walsh was hit by a pitched ball. Hammond hit a sacrifice fly to cen ter. and Miller scored, the other run ners advancing a bag each on the play. Whitehill uncorked a beauti- full wallop to center. and both Bren ner and Walsh scored. Riconda gath cred In Trefry's drive.
 And then came the fateful ninth. and MT. Hunefield's drive to the out side territory. Whitey stitched In time, however. and the day and game were saved.

 Listen, you got to use old gen eralship and everything else now. ing into you: You should have called off the fight. I just told Maxey Blu menthal not to bet on you. He had ten thousand to lay. I told him I didn't think you were right" Nor gan said.
 Fought To Draw Once.
 Dan has peculiar ideas about cheering up a fighter. I felt a lot the same way he did about it but it didn't do any good to be told about it. It didn't disturb me, however, as l thought that Dan was just little more than usually pessimistlc.
 He didn't want me to take the Walker bout in the first place. Two years ago last August in a twelve round no-decision bout in Jersey City. Walker gave me a fine pasting Ths boys in the press box were nice to mo Gas they always have been> and they called 1t a draw. I put him on the floor once and that sor; of evened it for me. I realized at the time that Walker was the best of all the contenders for the title. What impressed me mostly was his cool head and his courage.
 Early in the fight l opened one of his eyes. Sn the eleventh round he had mo In a bad way. I jabbed the cut open again and said to him in q cllnch-"You've got a bad eye now. do you want to be disfigured for liie?"
 Mickey !s rather proud of his good looks and thought that crack would get rise out of him but he didn't say word. A little later 1 said again-"f you don't keep that right hand back and let me be nice to you I'll have to knock you out

 He spread q wide Irish grin and answered.
 Gee. you're wise old guy. aint your?
 Morgan told mo when I went back to my corner that I'd better save my wind that socks and not words were going to get me out,
 After the fight told Dan that Walker was the toughest l had ever met and that hs wanted 10 stay away from him. Dan was surprised then when Rickard asked us last October what fighter We wanted him to get for me for a show In the gar den and I told him Walker,

 All this was running through my mind when we walked through a packed house to the ring. My mind was absorbed. I was thinking ot a lot of things and figuring that per haps it would have been better to ask for postponement when the in- somnia hit me. I crawled up into the corner and looked around as usual without seeing anyone. Some fighters may be able to count the house with the light in their eyes but I never could see beyond the Bet.
