STEWART HOLDS BEAR
 AT BAY, WHILE CLARK
 HITS TERRIFIC HOMER
Great Baseball Played At Redwood When Dunn's Men Beat Mehoff'S, 3 to l

When morale is low. and interest ttlagging, it takes just such a game
 as was played a Rickwood Wednes
 day to save the day. Birmingham de- Heated Mobile. champion of the south. land the manner of the victory IS
 much the win itself made the day
 one of rejoicing for fandom.
 Two popular heroes-made so as much by past performances and
 stove league sessions anything
 else-for the first time performed ill
 the glory and sensational manner at
 tributed 10 their ability. Walter
 Stewart, Joe Dunns newest southpaw,
 and Danny Clark. veteran of many
 Baron battle and victory, came
 through in spectacular manner EFNednesday, and the railbirds were sTsinging their praises as they piled Eout of the park before o'clock, for rsthe first time since the season began. ~r Baseball, as played Wednesday, of- zr@ered such contrast to the brand of rFball the pastimers have served up to ~fandom this season that it almost saseemed if the scene had shifted over Snfght to other regions The com
 parison was so obvious that 1t almost
 seemed as if the Giants and Yankees
 
 championship. inside the gates of the
 Polo Grounds, where good baseball is
 traditional Those terrible games
 with the Vols last week and the loose
 affair with the Bears Monday have taught the boys that a game such as 'the one of Wednesday is to be appre-
 ciated.
 Stewart Was "Right.,
 To Walter Stewart, who came into sthe fold along with a few other new twirlers this year, itched nice game
 against Mobile. In one inning he was
 scored on, In six he was hit for
 bingle. and in three it was three-up
 and three-down for him. In only one
 frame, the first, when the Bruins ascored their lone tally, did he allow
 as many IS two hits to be punched. -. stewart was as steady as clock throughout. His offerings were ! tricky, and his control good He not only served 'em over in nice fashion but ffeided his position well, and ' started one of the fastest double
 plays ot. the season at Redwood. : stewards was no sensational or world beating performance Wednesday, but 7 It was good enough to defeat the : Mobile Bears, champions of all Dixie ana mats sufficient to convince the ran flock that Walter was right" Danny Clark, who returned to the Barons after an absence of severa. years, always has been popular
 idol with the railbirds. All season, his advance to the plate has been accompanied by a buzz of comment, : and an occasional entreaty: Knock It over the fence. Danny. Kill that { ball" Up until Wednesday. Danny

 Danny Obeyed.
 In the eighth Inning of wednes- vii T, tl, . first man up, suddenly took a vi cious cut at fast one coming in.

 --s The Bears made no bones about yswinding up their days work in the rsscoring department. Their lone tally -Was produced in the very first frame. kssDenny Williams, first Bear up, dou- r'tled to right field, was sacrificed to xaihird, and scored on Marriott's infie1d .a0ut to Clark. Emil Huhn, Mobiles .-safirst sacksI. followed this out with a .aGeingle that rattled off the right field H.swal, but he was forced out at second. s] The Barons tied 1t in the second.

 ertson doubled to center, Miller going ito third. Trefry hit to Cueto, who ' begged home to eaten Miller. The peg { -lvas perfect, and Heving had lots of time to tag Miller. However he dropped the ball, and the run was , over. Stewart whiffed and S. Clarke . grounded out to end the frame.
 Extra Base CloHts.
 The game rocked along in scoreless manner until the eighth. when Danny Clark hit that long home run of his. ' T There was no great hitting in Wednesdays game. Mobile secured Seven bingles. three of which were : for extra bases, while Birmingham ( walloped out seven bingles also, and . three of theirs went for more than < one sack. D.
