By REUBEN A. LEWIS
Frowned upon by the elements,
Couthpaw Rube Evans made his debut
at Rickwood and was drubbed by the
high flying Gulls. Gaining the lead
when the elements conspired against
the portwheeler, the Gulls spurted on
ward and before the close of the fracas
amassed eight tallies. Heinie Berger,
Initiating the conflict, was yanked
from the mound in the fourth and re
tired in favor of the lengthy Robert
son.
Discouraged by the disastrous open- |
lng, Evans weakened toward the lat- j
ter sessions and permitted tlie Gulls
to annex three additional markers.
"While the Barons rallied often with a
fusillade of safe drives, the following
batsmen fell before the bafflers of the
Gull moundsmen and retired In defeat.
Earning his sobriquet of “Hard Luck
Rube,” Evans saw the battle slip be
yond recall in the opening round. Mil
ton Stock rolled a grounder to Carroll
and outspurted a faulty return to Me*
Gilvray. Dropping a neat advancer
down the third line, McGill romped to
first in safety when McDonald’s peg
wobbled to lirst. Switching over to
the right, the infield played badly for
Robertson who slapped a bounder to
deep shortfield for a single. At this
juncture Umpire Kerin decided lie
would instruct Evans as to mounting
the slab and further dazzled the south
paw.
Bobbles Cost Game
O'Dell added to the bobbles when he
hit sharply to Carroll. The shortstop
heaved to Mayer but the peg proved
erratic and Stock tallied. Paul Sentell
hoisted a long fly to Kniseley and Mc
Gill romped over the platter. Peter
pegged accurately to third and Mc
Donald flagged Robertson, but the huge
fielder’s pedal bounded into Mack’s
hand and knocked the pellet out of his
grasp.
The unfortunate backing continued
when another error allowed the Gulls
to register the third marked. Schmidt
hit a fizzler to Evans. Grasping tile
spinning sphere, Evans tossed to Mayer
but the receiver muffed the peg and
permitted another tally to register. At
this critical stage Paulet delivered with
a crashing hingle to right. Schmidt
had previously annexed second and
scored in the rear of O'Dell on the
first sacker’s blow.
Berger Is Retired
Breaking with a neat twist, Heinie
Berger’s spitter baffled the Barons in
the first two rounds but the Barons
solved the damp slants in the third.
Mayer slashed out the first safety of
the battle tpv the Baronial crew, while
Carroll repeated with a rap to center.
Evans drove out a liner to third, which
Paulet captured ami doubled Mayer at
second. Marcan retired the side on a
grounder.
Endangering the Gull lead, Birmingham
counted twice in the fourth. Messenger
singled to right garden and cavorted to
second on McDonald's drive to the sun
field. Realizing that the Gull mounds
ruan was being tapped with apparent ease, '
Mique Finn withdrew the spitballist from
the fray and injected W. Robertson, a
towering right-hander. The first action
of the newcomer was to serve four balls
to Kniseley, thereby congesting the paths.
McBride hit a slow* roller to shortstop
and Messenger tallied, although Kniseley
was forced. McGilvray delivered a simi
lar wallop to the little shortstop with
similar results. Mayer put a finish to the
lally by driving a grounder to Sentell.
Evans held the Birds well in check dur
ing the following sessions, but permit#ed
the sixth score in the seventh round. Sen
tell singled and advanced to third on
Schmidt’s scorcher to the sunfield. Paulet
popped weakly, but Clark rolled to Mar
can and Sentell completed the journey.
Barons Swell Count
The Baron count increased to three in
the last half of the seventh when Carroll
beat out a rap to short. Southpaw' Rube
Evans uncorked a luscious wallop to
right garden which advanced Carroll to
the platter, but Evans was flagged at
second. Marcan outspeoded a bunt to
ward third base when Paulet was loaf
ing back of the cushion and Evans
romped to third. Evans took a decided
stand upon the third hassock, for Mes
senger hit to second, forcing Marcan
at the keystone, but the twirier camped
upon the bag. There he remained as the

following batsmen failed to negotiate the

While the Baronial hopes were burled in

the figure to eight. fn the concluding

Naps Have No String
On Moundsman Evans
•_
Evans is Outright Property of Birmingham Club, Says Frank
Cleveland Has No Claim on Southpaw—Was
Drafted From Dallas
Should "Itube” Evans develop Into a
sensational twirler, Cleveland has no
right of recall on the moundsman. Man
ager Cholly Frank quited the rumor that
the Naps had a string on the heaver with
a statement that the southpaw Is the
property of Birmingham. He declared
that the story from Cleveland to the
effect that the Naps had recalled Evans
was a neat yarn concocted by some
writer.
Evans, whose name reads Evan E.
Evans, twirled in such sensational style
during the early games of the season that
he attracted attention. However, he fal
tered later, but seems to have reversed
his form with Birmingham. He declares
that he will prove a winner with the
Barons, for he is pleased with the oftt
rials, and believes that there is a strong
team behind him.
“Evans was sold outright to the Bar
ons,” said Cholly yesterday. “I do not
understand how the report was circu
lated that he was the property of Cleve
land, for, although Evans appeared like
a wonderful pitcher against the Naps,
the Cleveland club made no overtures
for his purchase."
'It is understood that the recall of
Cleveland was a design to yank Evans
from the circuit without requesting waiv
ers. It is thought that Frank had noti
fied the major club to call him upward ;
and then return him to the minors. While
this negotiation was on, Molesworth
called the Dutchman over the phone and
arranged the deal. T^e recall and pur
chase was announced on the same day.
J Several southern league club desired
Evans.

the first half of the eighth inning to
allow the New Orleans team to catch

But Five Directors Attend
Meeting Called to Settle
the Disputed Deal
WILL CALL ANOTHER
MEETING IN MEMPHIS
Appeal From President’s Ruling in
Snedccor-Bagby-Kutina Deal Not
Settled When Jones Refuses to Al
low Baugh and Coleman to Act
When Charles B. Jones, president
of the Montgomery club, declined to
permit R. H. Baugh of Birmingham
and F. P. Coleman of Memphis to set
tle his dispute with Charlie Frank of
New Orleans in regard to the Bagley*
Kutina-Snodecor deal, it wad deemed
necessary by the directors to adjourn
without taking action.
Another meeting will be called for Meta
phis probably for next Sunday week.
There were live n.embers of the direc
torate of the Southern league present,
President Kavanaugh, R. H. Baugh, F. P.
Coleman, Charles B. Jones and Charles
Frank. Inasmuch as the Montgomery
club had appealed from the decision of the
pi'fesident, who hud ruled that the deal
between Montgomery and New Orleans
must go through. President Kavanaugh
was incompetent to Eit on the case. Jones
and Frank were incompetent on account
of the fact that they were interested.
Manager Frank expressed willingness
that Mr. Baugh and Mr. Coleman deter
mine the merits n the case, but to this
Jones was not agreeable.
The case in dispute is one of the most in
teresting In the recent history of the
league. Some time ago, after Montgom
ery and New' Orleans had discussed the
matter of i deal fur players, Mr. Jones
wired Mr. Frank, asking if he would give
First Baseman Snodecor and $750 for
Pitcher Bagby and First Baseman Kutinci.
Frank replied in the affirmative. Jones
then determined not to trade. Manager
Frank appealed to the president of Mie
league and was sustained. President
Kavanaugh instructed Montgomery to
complete the deal.
Jones appealed from the decision of the
president. He staled yesterday that if the
directors decided against him, he would
appeal to the highest court of the base
ball, the national commission.
There were rumors yesterday that the
case when ’ried would develop sensational
testimony. As Is known. Kutfna tias
tailed to report to Frank. Frank hinted
yesterday that Joins had instructed ths
player not to report until after the Bir
mingham meeting, despite the fact that
the president had ruled that the deal must
be consummated. Mr. Jones denied that
lie had so instructed Kutlna and showed
a copy of his written instructions that the
player report to Manager Frank. It is
expected that something In regard to sal
ary will be brought to light when the cabe
is finally aqted upon.
