By IIKIIIIKKT CALDWELL
Memphis, May 8.—(Special.) — Playing
like fragments of the troop that carted
Carlton Molesworth to the pinnacle of
the 1912 Southern league season, the Bir
mingh\n Barons made their Initial ap
pearance at Red Elm today, and after
two hours and fifteen minutes of topsy
turvy ball on the part of the visitors,
Memphis pulled up with a 6 to 2 ver
dict.
The Barons' defeat couldn’t be placed
on the shoulders of any individual. Hard
grove was hit hard and mostly when
hits meant counts; but. on the other
hand, his shipmates tossed away oppor
tunity after opportunity to assist Mr.
Hardgrove by making' any runs for him
to work on.
Pete Knisely, a brand-new Baron, was
about the most conspicuous of the In
vading lot. Knisely was conspicuous in
two ways. Ha contributed two of the
Barons' mlscues, each time aiding in the
home crew's run-getting; but, on the
other hand, he secured a double and a
single and started the way for Birming
ham runs; bat aid was not forthcoming.
The Turtles Score
The Turtles scored their first count in
the third inning. Beaboijgh grounded io
Hardgrove, who pecked the local receive
on the shoulder trying to head him at
first. The hall -caromed off and Sea
hough, went to second. He went to third
on K roh'.s sacrifice. Shaley’s single
scored him.
Memphis added another in the fifth
and sixth, while Birmingham was yet
unable to count. In the fifth Beabough
pasted the hide over a high sign in right
field, the first ball Hardgrove pitched,
fn the sixth, after two were out. Ab
stein singled. Merritt followed with a
single to center. Knisely kicked the bail
around a while and then heaved to El
lam. Absteln headed for home and was
safe when he beat Ellam’s throw.
Knisely paved the way for the Barons'
first count, and which at first looked like'
it might amount to more. The new cen
terfielder started the seventh with a
double. MeGilvray was passed. Messen
ger stung a hot one to short and hit
Knisely on the ankle while going to
third. Mayer took a slow- one In the
ribs and the bases were jammed. It
was only one out. Ellam made it two
by a strikeout. Kroh issued Hardgrove
transportation and forced MeGilvray
home. Marian put the lights out when
he grounded to Butler, who threw’ to
•*<-ond, forcing Hardgrove.
Memphis Gets Away
Memphis got the count hack in her
half of the seventh. With two out,
Stanley singled lie stole second, went
to third when Mayer overthrew the base
and scored on Knlselv's wild chunk to
third tiase in an attempt to head him off
Two mure were added by the home crew
In the eighth. With one out. Ward
tripled to centerfleld. Ahstein dropped a
high one hack of Marcan. scoring Ward
find taking second on the toss home.
Ahstein went to second when Hardgrove
let Mayer's pitch back go through him.
Ahstein scored on Butler's fly to centet.
Knlsely heaved all the way home on the
fly, but was way To the side.
A Birmingham rally that might hate
proved fatal was started in the ninth,
when Mayer opened with a single. El
lam doubled and it locked like Kroh
was- beginning to w-IIter. Mayer scored
on Hardgrove'* out. Ward to Ahstein.
Marcan walked. fan-oil whiffed al
three. Mesenger swung at one with all
his might, hut the result w-as an easy
roller in Ahstein's hands at first, and
about 2noo fans arose, shook themselves
and hurried home for a late supper.

L
TO THE BONESETTER;
PITCHER HOPEFUL
Ray Boyd, a member of the Baron
team which won the pennant last sea
son. and who lost out this year on ac
count of a bad wing, has gone to Cin
cinnati, where lie will interview and go
under the treatment of “Bonesetter"
Reese.
Fans of Birmingham, headed by Roy
Kay and Henry Jenkins, sent Boyd, be
cause they are fond of him, and because,
too, they feel that sooner nr later he will
he in position to render the local club
fine service. By popular subscription the
sum of $100 was raised without* trouble.
Boyd feels confident that his arm wil!
round to before much longer. He went
to Cincinnati yesterday morning in hope
that Dr. Reese will be able to get him
in shape within a couple of weeks. !f
so, he will offer his services to the Bir
mingham club, and it might happen that
the star of last season will be signed
again.
Boyd. When right, ie a great pitcher.
I.aat Reason lie worked in more games
than any other Baron fltnger, and won
a great majority of them. He has speed
and control, and a combination of good
curve and treache*ius "spitter."
That he In popular with the fans was
attested when they raised the fund with
which lo send him to the famous doctor
of hall players.
SERIOUS CHARGES
ARE MADE AGAINST
“VET” JACK! O’CONNOR
Rt. Louts. May S.—The Rt. Iaruls Amer
ican club, In an answer filed in the cir
cuit court today to the suit of Jack
O’Conmrr, former manager of the local
team, for *5noo alleged to tie due him,
accused O'Connor of unprofessional con
duct. ,
The answer charges that in the double
header game between Cleveland and Hi.
lands hero October S, 1910, O'Connor in
structed Third Baseman Corrlden "to
play so far hack of his regular and or
dinary position as to allows Lajuie to
make base hits that otherwise he could
not have made."
The hall club denies that it had a eon
ttact with O'Connor for the season 1911,
as O’Connor claims, and insists >nat even
if it had such a contract he had forfeited
it by ids conduct in the Lajoie matter.
SOCK ALEX IS, ONCE
FAMOUS PLAYER, IN
BIRMINGHAM TODAY
Andrew Sockalexls, the former great
ball player, and the man who blazed the
trail which Indian athletes have since fol
lowed. is In Birmingham arid will be
here for several days.
In his day, Sockalexls was the greatest
player of the game. He broke in with
Cleveland in the old National league in 1
1891. He played center-field for three
years, and among his teammates were 1
such famous old stars as Zimmer, Cuppy, !
“Cy” Young. Tebeau, McAleer, Childs and ;
others.
The Indian lost out through his devotion
to “firewater.“ Me Is still interested in
the great national game, however, and
delights to Indulge in recounting the story
of his brief but glorious career.

HOW THE CAMERA SUSTAINS THE UMPIRE
/ __
Here is a photograph showing that the camera sees more than the eyes of many of the "fans.” The snap
shot man pressed his button as Beals Becker made his slide for the plate after driving the ball to the centre field
fence In a recent New York-Cinclnnatl game. The picture shows that a relay of Shafer from Snodgrass to the
catcher enabled Meyers to keep the runner from touching the home base at all.
