j It is with difficulty that we suppress
a smile in contemplating the tenacity
with wrhich fat wrestlers over the
country are clinging to the hope of
gouging more money from the Bir
mingham public.
If it were not for the fact that it is
a serious reflection on the intellect of
local sport lovers, the situation would
bo almost ludicrous.
However, it is gratifying to know
that the innocence and credulousness
of the Birmingham public is not ever
lasting. There are yet a few who
Hock to the standards of these alleged
grapplers with all of their ancient
exuberance, but it is merely a ques
tion of not being able to fool all of
the people all of the time. Birming
ham as a whole knows that the com
ing match here is going to be a fake,
a frame-up, pure and simple, designed
to filch from the pockets of the unsus
pecting their hard earned mazuma. It
is known, too, that the bout will con
sist of two exotic fat boys, whose
sole claim to fame and fortune lies in
the strength of a picturesque (?) title,
lolling and tumbling for a few mo
ments upon a dirty mat while the pro
letarian mob shouts in innocent glee
and the promoters count up the gate
receipts.
The intelligent public reads of the
coming bout and smiles broadly. The
promoters hear the pledges of loyalty
from the unsophisticated and also
smile broadly. But as a whole the
erstwhile soft and juicy public of the
Magic City is gaining knowledge wdth
experience. It is tired of witnessing
“Lions” and “Demons” and “Terrors”
at so much per seat.
The situation is extremely amusing.
It is to laugh. C. W. G.

Montgomery, April 30.—(Special.)—Mont
gomery won the tirst game of the series
from Birmingham this afternoon by tak
ing advantage of Grimes' errors and a
timely hit or two. The final score of the
contest was. Montgomery ♦, Birmingham
1. The Barons had a good chance to
at least tie the score in the sixth Inning,
when East lost all control of the ball and
walked McBride and then fanned Wal
lace. East then walked Magee and when
he gave Ellam three straight balls. Gilks
called him from the box and sent Black
to the rescue. Black gave Ellam his
base by throwing a ball and the bases
were full with only one out. All chances
of a score were killed when Hardgrove hit
a fast one to Black, who forced McBride
at the plate and Hardgrove was doubled
at first.
After that time the Barons didn't get a
man to first base until the ninth, when
Ellam singled after Magee had fanned.
Elam stole second, but Bell, who was sent
in to bat for Hardgrove also fanned, Mc
Donald drew a base on balls, but Marcan
ended It with an easy roller right down
the first base line and was out.
East Pitched (rood
East pitched a great game up to the
time he lost control and had allowed only
one hit, which was a scratch, and quite
a number thought that Snedecor should
have gotten an error rather than Cov
ington a hit, but the official scorer didn't
see it that way.
The feature of the game, which was
poorly played all the way, was a double
play by 'Knisely and Ellam. It was In
the fourth Inning, after Montgomery had
scored one run and knocked Grimes off
the hill. Hardgrove passed East, ad
vancing Grlbbens to second, but when
Hollander hit a hot one to Covington,
Grlbbens was forced at third. With East
on second and Hollander on first, Baker
singled to right. It was fly ball and
East didn’t leave second base until the
hall hit the ground and he then had no
chance to score, so when he got to third
he stopped, in the meantime Hollander
evidently .thought East was going to the
line, finally tagging him on the line
nearly at third base. As soon as Ellam
tagged Hollander out. East started for
the plate and Ellam also touched him
out, too.
Game Poorly Played
The game was poorly played by both
sides. Only one of Montgomery s runs
was earned, while Birmingham's lone run
was ilie result of a base on balls. Er
rors figured in the other runs of the
game.
Although both Birmingham and Mont
gomery got runners on third with only
one out in the last half of the first and
fore pan of the second, no runs were
scored until the last half of the second,
when Montgomery scored three.
Lively opened the Inning with an easy
roller to Grimes, who threw wild to first.
Lively going to second. Snedecor hit a
Texas leaguer to right and Lively scored.
Snedecor went to second on the throw to
the plate McUSVell bunted a fly to
Grimes, who dropped it, and when Sned
ecor was caught in a chase between sec
ond and third Grimes threw wild to sec
ond and Snedecor took third and Mc
Dowell second. Grlbbens skied to Knisely
and Snedecor scored while McDowell took
third and scored a moment later on a
passed ball. East fanned and Hollander
hit down first base line for two, but Ma
gee made a nice catch of Baker's drive
to left and the side was out.
Grimes Taken Out
Grimes got through the third Inning
without being scored on, but after walk
ing McDowell In the fourth, McDowell
stole stole second and scored when Sned
ecor singled to right.
Molesworth then took out Grimes and
Tragesser and sent Hardgrove In to |
pitch and Wallace to catch. Hardgrove
passed East, forcing Grlbbens to sec
ond, but Grlbbens was forced at third
when Hollander hit a fast grounder to
Covington. Baker singled to right and
East stopped at third. Hollander over
ran second and was touched out near
third when Ellam took a throw from
Knisely. Ellam completed a dpuble play
by tagging East before he could get back
to third.
Birmingham acored her only run In the
fifth, when With two down Marcan was
walked and stole second. Covington hit a
hot one at Snedecor, and when the pellet
rolled to right field Marcan crossed the
plate.

From the Angle of the Bug I
By ASA HO >T Si TREK* JR.
IT is almost next to impossible for
Class A teams to get polished
players out or the majors and
through the Class A A leagues at the
present time, according to President
Baugh *f the local baseball associa
tion. Mr. Baugh returned to the city
early yesterday morning from a trip
to St. Hoiiis and Chicago in search
of players to bolster up the faltering
Barons.
"The American association and In
ternational league are both In a rid
dled condition because of Federal
league raid, and are now doggedly
watching for .ery opportunity to se
sure players from the majors Be
cause of the Intermediate waiver rule,
adopted by the national commission at
the demand of the Players’ fraternity,
men destined for minor league clubs
must first be offered to those of Class
A A rank first, and i* now happens
that nearly every time a big league
club attempts to get a plwVer of any
ability or experience to a Class A
club, they are thwarted by one In
either the American association. Inter
national or Pacific Coast league step
ping in and claiming the player.
"Rochester is especially shot to
Pieces and Manager damsel puts in a
claim for nearly every player released
out of fast company. Because of this
big league managers are keeping many j
players on the bench who are not yet
ready for service In the majors, for
if they are released clubs with whom
the managers do not have working
agreements will come into possession
of them.
• m a
“On account «»f this state of affairs
we have been hindered from acquiring
several players we sought. In one
case I obtained the permission of both
an American league club owner and
manager to have a certain player for
the coming season, and also the con
sent of the player in question to come i
south, but when waivers were asked
four clubs in Class A A put in claims
for him. Of the lour Rochester
seemed the most determined to get the
player and the owner of the Hustlers
was gotten in touch with over long
distance in an effort to persuade him

to withdraw his claim, but this he ob
stinately refused to do, and asserted
that he would pay >5000 if necessary
to secure the player. This ended mat
ters so far as the Birmingham club
was concerned as the refusal of the
Rochester club to waive its claim made
U impossible for us to secure him.
• • •
“W hile in St. Louis hoth President
Hedges and Manager Rickey of the
Brown A were very cordial to me, and
stated they were willing to favor the
local club to almost any extent, but
that their hands were tied because of
tIlia* new rule. Branch Rickey assert
ed lie had several men on the bench
whom he would be glad to release, but
that several clubs In the three Class
A A league, with whom he was not
working in harmony, stood In the way,
ami that rather than turning the play
ers loose to these clubs he was keep
ing them on his pay role.
• • •
“We aro by no means discouraged
over the situation, and are still on
the hunt for players to strengthen
weak spots on the Baron team. Out
fielder Stewart, who was secured from
the Cubs, looks to be an exceptionally
stellar performer and will n** ihmht
make a splendid hitter, us his past
record shown he Is lull of ginger and
a nervy player. He takes good iure
of hImselr and neither drinks nor
smokes.
““Stewart is a six-footer and is A
lithe ami last performer. “Hank*
O’Day staled before the deal was com* . |
pleted that Stewart was adverse to '
playing In the south, ami also that X
would have some trouble getting him A
to consent to the arrangements.
bn the following morning I went out \
to the Cub plant and had a idee, long
talk with Stewart. He was an agree
able young mun ami stated frankly
that it was only a question of salary
with him. After a little dickering we
came to terms and the trade Wj
elosed In the afternoon.
* * *
"O Day stated the main reason Why
lie was parting with Stewart was that
he was a left-hand hatter, and wits
over supplied with them. The new
Itaron has the utmost confidence in I
himself and. while not egotistic, be
lieves fully in himself.
"I wanted Stewart to start south
immediately, but he stated he had
some important bonds to sign on May
1, he being cashier In the winter for
the Edison company of Chicago, and
could not leave before that time.
However, he promised to leave Chi
cago Friday afternoon. This will put
him In Hirmlnghaui some time Satur- •
day afternoon. Stewart will come dl- jj
rect *to this city and will not report f
to Molesworth as was first intended.
The Barons open here Monday and g
even if Stewart reported in Montgom- £
cry he would be unable to get into the ^
game before the opening series here -
with tlie Pelicans." *
* * # C
That some of the playing in the
majors did not measure up to that In ^
the Southern at times Is the assertion p
of Mr. Baugh. While on his trip the ^
Baron president saw the Browns, ^
Tigers, Pirates. Cubs and several other
teams in action. k
"Why In a game between the Browns
and Tigers several bones were pulled |t
off that are almost entirely foreign
to the Southern. The game went 13 A
innings and .was won by the Browns
when, with a man on second, a St.
Louis batter hit a pop fly between the
mound ami first, which both the pitch
er. second baseman and first base
man let fall safe between them and "
the man on second scored with the
winning tally.
• • • u
The Tigers have a groat machine ^
this year and 1 expect that they will
make a warm fight <or the American * 1
league pennant. While the Detroit t?
team was In St. L«»tfls I saw Harry x«
Covaleskl a id had n short chat with ^
him before one of the games. He j
stated that he was pleased with his C
new berth and was determined to f
stick this time.
"At Chicago I also saw the Pirates jjp
in action and Fred Clark’s players ap
pear to to he In the class of ,the if
National. Konetchy Is filling the gan T
,it the Initial corner splendidly anaW, f
the whole team works smoothly." ggj.
