Always fighting best when they
have an up-liill battle to stage, th<
locals came from behind in the
eighth inning and by brilliant base
running on the part of Eddie Moore
and Glenn Killinger, coupled with
two hits, the locals forged to the
front with one run to the good. But
»hat one counter was of little use. for
the Barons started a little rallying
themselves which gave them three
counters, and these three were by
far enough to win.
King Brady started on tlie mound
for the locals, but the big boy just
was not right, and the Barons made
short work of him in whacking out
six hits, in two and :< third innings.
Georgia Dumont, the Crackers' curve
ball artist, was hustled out to the
mound and fared very well until the
fatal ninth inning, when he weakened
and the Barons were credited with
four hits and three runs, while two
Barons were given free tickets to
first.

Stewart In Trouble.
While the Barons were fattening
their batting averages, Mr. Walter
Stewart, thu southpaw liurler of tin
Barons, was having his troubles.
Eleven safeties was the number the
Cracker sluggers hammered out
during the afternoon. Stewart man
aged to keep them well scattered un
til the eighth and ninth innings
Birmingham started scoring in the
first inning, when Neun singled after
S. Clarke and Stewart had been easy
outs. Goebel whacked out a lung
double to right field, scoring Neun.
But the Crackers evened the count
in their half. Eddie Moore walked
and Guyon sacrificed, but Eddie
Moore was thrown out at third trying
to stretch it. Glenn Killinger then
whacked out his second home run in
a ... many days, when he placed one
