Hard Day For Hurlers As Barons Cops, 12-7
.Dunn's Men Take Advantage
 of Every Break in Mauling
 Minneapolis HurIers at Rick wood

A pitcher stood about as much -cl ance in Thursdays ball game at sRickwood as pork chop at a ftramp's convention. Base hits clat- tered across the field like so many -bird shot at trap shooting con @tcs A total of 20 bingles were SC 'cuted out Thursday. as the Barons ewallooed the Minneapolis pastimers .by i2 to ' score.
 Many apples lost may mean seV- @eral things. For one, Minneapolis seorld hardly be accused of doing 5arything but losing that game. For raining down on the unofrtunate ;pitchors 1t stands to reason that 'scme of the apples clouted to re mote regions by the macemen of both sides should become lost.
 The Barons showed healthy in- 5ciination to take advantage of eV- cry break at Redwood Thursday What they weren't jerking bodily from the protesting clutches of .pitchers Lindenberg and Morrisetta was usually being handed them on "a silver platter. And, as recipients tie Barons make the most gracious and greedy of pastimers.
 In one inning, the third, the ,Barons showed an unsuitable ap- Al ,Genbcrs walked in two men, and :wild pitched in couple more. tGreedy to the last. the Barons be- scame impatient and Danny Clark tcracked out a hot single to center that jerked two more tallies from ftLe limp and crushed body of tn" Minneapolis hurlcr.. 1t was q Sruel- Hing and long drawn out frame, and Pitcher LinderberS all but had to be carried to the dugout when it i-t If ha Barons at the end of that frame Included two base hits. four walks. Il wild pitch and six runs. That inning was enough to whip any ball club, and the Millers never fully recover ed from that session.
 Daniels Has Poor Start.
 Tom Daniels, who has proven a most reliable hurler for the Barons throughout the spring training sea son, started for Joe Bum, and that seemed to be about all. In the very first frame he was greeted with three vicious line drive singles, l double play. Walsh to Clark to Brenner, holding the Millers' scoring down to a single tally.
 Smiths two bagger to start the second was another prod into the tender body of Tom Daniels. and a single following soon after ac- counted for another Minneapolis run. Three consecutive line drives in the third and a stolen base sent across the third run for the Millers, and Tom Daniels was about ready to admit it was bad day for pitchers. Only fast fielding and poor base running by the Millers held tbeir score down to three runs III htose first three innings.
 It was in the third that the Barons thoroughly subdued MT. Lindenberg, a southpaw. Walsh started it off with a. single to center. and about half an hour later ended the same in- ming with a fly to right fleld. me % Barons batted around six of the ten men scoring for Joe Dunn.
 Lindenberg proved himself man of undying generosity when in the very next inning, the fourth, he walked a couple of more men. forcing and an error, with an ernor by Second Baseman Holahan, accounted for an other tally. bringing the Barons' total to eight.
 The sixth saw the Millers up to their old tricks, and three vicious clouts sent in their fourth tally.
 After establishing a record for scoring runs on the minimum of base hits, the Barons reversed their at tack in the seventh, and singles by Layne, Walsh. Hammond and Bates scored only one run In the eighth. ClarkeS SlnSle, Iaylor tremenuous triple to centerfield, Danny Clark s wallop to center and Walsh's clean oingle sent in three runs, and the Barons called it a day, with 12 tallies to their credit.

 Let Up In Ninth.
 In the ninth, it seems traditional that Birmingham shall let the oppo- eition slip over few runs, and Thursday was just like any other day at Redwood. It took three hits ar error on dropped fly ball. wild pitch and a hit batsman to do it. but
