DUNN'S MEN MAKE 1T
TWO STRAIGHT FROM
T HE TRIBESMEN, III
Home Runs Feature Victory
Of DEMONSTRATES Hit Hard,
But Mates Make 1t Possible
For Him To Stick

There is turning point to every
thing, even baseball game, and
Tuesdays game at lockwood be-
tween the Barons and Chicks had a
turning point that was 50 obvious
a blind man could almost see it, Biz
mingham wen its second straight vic
tory from the Chicks, II to T. in a
game which was as productive of
base wallepS as Lebanon of cedars.
It all happened in the third in
ning-the turning part of the affair
when the Barons were at bat. The
Chicks had started off like "A house
afire, and were leading, . to /, when
the Dunners came up for their share
of the innings booty. Two men were
out, and man was on base, when
Danny Clark came along to have his
say in the division of the spoils.
Clark had previously, in the second
inning, hit a long drive to the center
field fence beyond the grove, but
short, stubby legs were not made
for exceptional speed on the paths
and Danny had stopped at third. But
this time he aimed at the stars, ana
it is only fair to him to say that he
nearly reached them. He smashed
tremendous drive to right field that
cleared the wall with yards to spare
and he and the mate ahead of him
trotted around with the runs that
gave Birmingham the lead for the
first time, 3 to .,
The turning point had been reached
and passed, and from that moment
the Chicks were beaten crew. Jake
Miller followed Danny Clark at the
plate, and he, too, uncorked smash
worthy OF big bertha. His ball went
TO left, but Jake ran it out, and beat
the pill home safely. 1t was another
home run for the Barons, two in
row, and the Chicks were beaten as
surely as lame horse at the post
against Man o'War, or something.
Barons Eearn 'Em All.
From the third inning on, it was
game of eIout and run for the Barons.
They slammed out 16 safe hits, seven
OF them for extra bases, including
two home runs, three triples and two
doubles. Their hitting was so ter
rifle that all eleven of their runs
were Clearly earned.
Johnny Dobbs' Chicks started off
in a fashion that was alarming to
the Barons, to say the least. Jimmy
Burke, the first man to face Red
Bates, hit one to deep center field for
a home run, circling the bases easily.
That gave the Chicks their early
lead of one run.
In the second, Danny Clark's triple
to center, followed shortly by Tay
lors double to left, gave the Barons
a run, and the count was tied
Fowlkes frightened UP and retired the
side after he had put two men on
and had only one out.
Chicks Regain Lead.
The third saw the Chicks tenaci-
ously clinging to their lead, for they
got that one run of the Barons back.
Again Jimmy Burke started it, He
tapped one to Neun and beat Flip to
the bag by inches. Neun thought he

down, SO Burke kept on to second.
That called for lots OF argument, but
the umpires finally prevailed, as ex-
pected. Gleason then beat out an in
field tap Burke going to third. Pro-
thro grounded out, Burke scoring,
but Beck struck out. Wei: walloped
one to left, but Prothro was thrown
out trying to score from second.
In their half of the third, the
Barons brought about the turning
point. With one GU Hartford sim
gled, but Neun forced him at second,
then stole the bag himself. Danny
Clark hit one in the cornfield out
side Rick wood park, and the two
scored. Jake Miller followed with
another home run and the score was
to in favor of the Barons.
Barons Add -Four.
In the fifth Dunn's men added four
more, for the turning had come and
there was nothing left to do but
speculate as to the final score. Hart
ford singled, Nuen walked, Danny
Clark singled, Miller forced Clark
Tommy Taylor hit whale of a triple
to left and Robertson singled Nee
kin popped out and Bates forced
Robby. In all, four hits, aided by an
error by Right Fielder Camp, let in
four for the Barons and carried the
score S to >, favor of Dunn's men.
The sixth saw each scoring a cou-
pie. In the Chicks half, with one
out. Camp hit long three ba gger to
