The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-12

A barrage of hits and the longest home run, or conservatively, one of the longest, ever hit at Redwood field in the second inning gave the Pelicans an unsurmountable lead Monday night and they won, 8 to 3. Dutch" Hoff- man, hefty second baseman for the Pels, hit one of Sawyer's fast ones so terrifically that Camp did not move out of his tracks as it whizzed far above him over the right field wall. It was high and far and certainly no ball hit at Redwood this year has fall en in territory as far removed from home plate.
 The first five men up in the second hit safely one of Phil Sawyer's of ferings. Stewart removed him from the box in favor of Sep Good, whose southpaw flinging met with better sue cess. Shovel Hodge did the mound work for Larry Gilbert and though he gave up 13 hits and kept Dutch" Henry alternately going in and coming out on trip to the "warm-up" pen he pulled through the contest intact and still present. Good fielding behind him saved him often, though the Baron rallies generally flivvered out by their own accord before his pitching in the pinch which regularly had batters pop ping up.
 One Big Inning
 The Pelicans swattered seven safe ties in the second from which their five runs were derived, the sixth one came after an error and a single in the seventh, while a triple, walk, in field out and single counted for two in the ninth.
 s A triple and single in the fourth, a grounded and two singles in the sixth and a single and double in the eighth went for a Baron score in each frame.
 Tucker started the big inning, the second, with double to right center. Henry single scoring him. Hoffman came up and knocked the ball out of the park. Jackson singled and Dowie singled and MT. Sawyer strolled off the diamond. Good came in and Hodge singled, scoring Jackson. Good then southpawed left-handed Bogart, and right-handed Ewoldt to death, but Lar " Gilbert, another left-hand batter, connected for two bags. DOwie scored. Tucker grounded out, Rhode, unas- sisted.
 PeIs Still Score
 In the eleventh ming Schick, who had replaced Bogart in left field, after Good had started pitching, singled. Ewoldt bunted a grounder to Brausen and he fumbled it. Gilbert beat out a bunt to Brausen, filling the bases. Tucker hit a hot bounder to Good and he threw out Schick at the plate. Henry hit a long fly to Jeanes and Ewoldt scored after the catch. HOff- man swung at three of Goods offer ings.
 In the ninth Schick drove one over Cancels head for three bags. Ewoldt walked, but Gilbert grounded out with Schick being held on third. Tucker grounded out with Schick scoring on the play. Henry singled, scoring Ewoldt, but Hoffman ended the inning with a drive to Ganzel.
 BarOns Count
 The Barons. scored one in the fourth when Rhode tripled to right, after Jeanes had gone out and Camp singled, sending him home. Hartford flied out to Gilbert, Ganzel doubled but Spencer struck out.
 In the sixth Jeanes singled, was forced at second by Rhode, who went around the bases on singles by Camp and Hartford. A fast double play, Hoffman to Jackson to Henry, killed off Hartford and Ganzel.
 After two were out in the eighth, Hartford singled and Ganzel doubled down the right field foul line, scoring him. Ganzel went out trying to stretch his hit into a triple.
 Ganzel And Hartford Hit
 The hitting of Ganzel and Hartford carried off willow hOnors in the con- test. Ganzel hit pair of doubles and a single out of four tries, while Hart ford hit three singles in four.
 After Hoffman hit his left-handed home run he was held hitless, batting from the left side of the plate against Southpaw Good. His righthand swings resulted in two strike outs one grounder and a fly. Schick, with a triple and single out of two tries led the Peli- cans.
