HOLLNVGSWORTH
 CHECKS BARONS
Locals Fill Sacks Four
 Times Without Scoring

Trouble. trouble all my uays, may be the Ethiopian national anthem, put certainly the burr-headed brethren will COT. cede the Barons, the copyright to the ditty; none denies that the negroes have had an awkward time of 1t, but they never have been as embarrassed, or embarrassing, as the collection of mie- called baseballists here. As first Wit ness in the persecution, call Thurs days game, lost by the score lO to z, the New Orleans PelicAns.
 Four separate, four distinct times, Birmingham filled the bases. Four unflurried, four nonehalant times, did the blase Johnny Hollingsworth retire the side without being scored on. One William Phelon, up yonder in Cin- cinnati, is wont to discourse on the subtleness and variety of the tricks employed by the Reds to keep from scoring. Bill should come here and sit at the foot of the kindergarten class properly to learn how that feat should be done.
 Oh, yes--the Barons scored two in the ninth, thrilling rally that fell paltry eight runs shoft. These came when Brenner singleds Rhode tripled off the right field fence end Jeancs weighed in with q sacrifice fly.
 Beyond that chukker, however, John Holly was captain of his destiny and master of his fate, with that of the Barons thrown in to boot. Hollings- worth's vivid pitching style, his per sonality in the box were never shown to better advantage, fof he had a five run lead from the start and didn't have care in the wide, wide world. He strolled back and forth between in- nines with a chip on his shoulder He laughed at the Baronsr-and made 'em like it. Whenever he gave q thought to the matter in hand and saw the appearance of q local rebellion, he just went back little further for his fast one and turned his thumb down. And that was all there was to that threat He didn't even have to use his change of pace all aftqnoon.
 Sep Good, in the meantime, was be- ing riddled about as full of holes as a mosquito netting. Seraphin was in no angelic mood when the contest end- ed, and he had s0mer right to com plain. For 1t was late in the game be- fore he was hit very hard. The quin- Jet of first frame ta1Iies was largely ! due to weak fielding.
 
 dink by Larry Gilbert bounced over Rhodes head for a hit. Ewoldt had singled with one gone, and Larry's bouTicer might have been converted into a twin killing. Good threw poorly to first moment later trying to catch the Pel leader, and Ewoldt moved to third
 Then came the parade of the fusileers Tucker singled and Schick doubled Tr.ff t. k. Tucker. Brausens dropped an easy foul from Henry's bat and a moment later he failroaded one to center for two bases. Sehick scoring. Dowie larrupped his first of four consecutive singles to right and Henry scored.
 With that solid block of five count CTS staring 'em in the face, the Stew arts never did give q continental cuss- word about the outcome. Brausen's single and passes to Rhode and Camp filled the bases in the first, but Holly struck out Hartford and checked that nonsense. An error, by Henry, Brau- sens single and Brehner's walk again loaded 'em in the next chapter. But Rhode popped to Jackspn.
 The Birds hammered across another pair after Good had sffiothered 'em for three innings. Tucker walked and Hoffman doubled to place men on sec ond and third with one down. Fred Henry then proved he couldn't hit left handlers by sIingling to drive in an- , other pair of markers.
 Double palys cut off BaroniaI up- risings in the sixth and seventh when the bases were tight with, respectively, none out and one out, but the PeIs weren't through yet, even. Singles by Ewoldt and Gilbert, Fuckers double and Schick's single accounted for them.
 Of the nine Pels in the contest, neither Jackson nor Hollingsworth hit safe, while everybody else got two or more. Henry and Jackson turned in some remarkable fielding plays, while Tex James pulled in two awful smashes from Dutch Hoffman's bat.
