KANSAS CITY WINS SECOND GAME OFF BLACK BARONS, 70
Last Game Of Series Today At Redwood At 3::30
 O'Clock

The Black Barons fell before su- perior pitching of Bullet" Rogan, the Kansas City Monarchs' star twirler, and the league champions won the second game of the series, to 0, evening up with the locals. Rogan allowed the Black Barons but five scattered hits and Rush Clan never had a chance. He used one of the steamiest fast Dalls seen at Rick wood alternately with a slow one and curve that had the Black Barons b-.tters bewildered.
 The Monarchs' went wild on the bases and Means was helpless to stop them from stealing bags at will. By playing heads up ball on the bases the visitors made every hit count.
 Salmon and Moore were hit hard and frequently. Moore is new pitcher who. although he lacks ex- perience, shows some promise of de- veloping into a goou rwirler.
 The infield supported Rogan sen sationally, especially Moore, at short, and Anderson. Moore is one of the fleetest shorts seen at Redwood this year and covers all the ground around the keys one and short.
 Johnston. the slugging center fielder for the Monarchs, got four hits out of five wule Moore slam med one over the right field fence in the first inning. but no one was on.
 The two teams play off the tie Wednesday afternoon at Redwood in the final game of the series. The game starts at 3:30 o'clock

TAIL-END TRAVELLERS COP A
 DOUBLE-BILL FROM BARONS INV CAPITAL CITY STADIUM
Travellers Send Daniels To Showers Early, And Bates Does Little Better, But Wells
 And Mccall Stage Hectic
 Pitching Duel

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 1S,- Kid Elberfeld's tailending Travellers took two closely played games from the Birmingham Barons at Crampton Bowl this afternoon by the scores of of z to and 1 to 0. The second games was one of the prettlest pitch CTS battles seen at the local stadium this season, Wells allowing but two hits and Mccall three in the six in ningS.
 Daniels started the first game for the Barons but was jerked by Stew art after a free pass to Zoellers, single by Smith, triple by West and four-bas clout by Hurt had cost him three runs. Bates replaced him and gave up nine hits for four runs fin the remaining eight and two- third innings. Both pitchers were hit freely for the Barons' half of the ninth. two passes, followed by double steal and balk, gave them one run and placed Graham in a hole that almost cost him the game. He steadied, however, struck out Miller and forced weak infield knocks out of Milner and Hartford for the two last outs. The rally fell one run short of tying the score.
 The six innings of the second game were played in an hour, each club going out in one, two, three order for four innings. The first hit came from Miller's bat in the fifth after two were out and went for nothing, he being the first Baron to reacn first. In the Travellers half of the fifth, Neiderkorn, first up, tripled to right center and died on the path after West and Tucker struck out and Philbin went out, short to first.
 The lone run of the game came aft CT Williams had struck out and Storey, pinch hitting for Mccall, was hit by Wells, Zoellers' sacrafice sent him to third and Bandrimer's single to right scored him after Milner had juggled the ball long enough for Storey to get lead.
 Wells had the better of the battle, striking out six of the IS Travellers to face him, Mccall was hit upon every occasion and excellent support kept him out of trouble. Fuckers running catch of Stewards drive to deep center in the first inning rob bed him of a triple.
 Montgomery turned out 1900 fans to see the first game of the series. The teams meet again Wednesday for single game and on Thursday another double header will be played.
