The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-13

As usual it was apple blossom time at Redwood for the Baron pitchers, and so the locals dropped a double bill for their third straight to New Dr. leans in this series. The scores were 5 to 3 and 8 to 1. Flakes of the old apple were literally flying about the old orchard whenever the Pels were at bat, for they pounded and pounded, with what seemed almost un- necessary brutality, the offerings of Cotton Bates and Goat Walker.
 The Baronials did faIr business at the pounding stand, themselves, but stheir efforts didn't carry the weight behind them to transform 'em into runs. They collected 12 bingles off Buzzer the Bill de Whitaker. Buzz started off well, absent mindedly throw in near the plate and wishing them well, with his usual effectualness but along toward the close he commenced skidding-or rather, the Barons began gauging his nonchalant serves. John Holly was forced to rescue him in the ninth.
 Bates, too, was hit hard and was lucky to escape as lightly as he did. With men on second and third and s one out in the first, a brilliant play by Manager Stewart to behead Bogart at the plate pulled him out without scathe, while in the second he barely escaped being massacred.
 Hoffman walked and was forced by Jackson. Lapan went safe on Brausen's bobble, while Whitaker drew a pass, filling the cushions with but one man gone. Here came a hefty break in the white-headed Mir. Bates favor, for Bogart slapped long sacrifice fly to center, scoring Jackson; but Jeanes uncorked magnificent peg that landed in Brausen's hands on the fly, to kill Lapan going to that base and end the inning.
 Henry and Hoffman masse shot two line singles to open the fourth, the former taking third on his successors blow. Jackson lofted to Ganzel and Henry tallied. Lapan strengthened one out to left and Hoffman recorded plac- ing the invaders three markers to the fore.
 Bill the Buzz demonstrated his first sign of whitening in the Barons' half of the next, when Stuffy Stewards first of two screaming doubles and Rhodes line single to center broke the ice. The locals had hit in the two innings previous, and from now on they hit in every single frame, though only in two more did they succeed in pushing over a man.
 They drew close in the sixth, when they should have scored more than one. Stewart repeated his two timing stunt to left and Tex Jeanes who had whiffed before, snicked one for a single to score his pilot. After the next two went out, Hartford scratched a hit, in front of the plate and stole second. Jeanes, who was on second taking third, but Ganzel couldn't deliver.
 The Pels got it back quickly enough for Ewoldt singled to initiate the seventh, was sacrificed and scored on Fuckers pneumatic single past Rhode.
 Whit in the eighth evidenced acute quesinesS and managed to stick it out only by the skin of his teeth. He forced Gene Caldera to toss just about full game in the bullpen by his changeable tactics. Rhode went safe on Hoffman's error with one gone, but Camp fouled to Ewoldt. Hartford massagd a slash ing double to right and Rhode rang in. Ganzel walked, but Spencer was halted when Jackson made a cracker jack play on his skipping hopper.
 The Birds further propped their claim with an unessential ninth frame counter. This was scored when Tuck CTS heathenish smite down the right field foul line leaped into the bleachers for home run. It was eventually proved to be unneeded, but the Stew arts came back so strongly that for a time it looked none too stiff a bar rier.
 When Brenner, hitting for Bates, drove Bogart almost to the fence for his terrific bid, and Brausen and Stew art singled solidly, Hollingsworth, who had shortly before relieved Caldera from the arduous warming up work, pulled q Paul Revere and got Jeanes
