• Atlanta, May 5.—(Special.)—The Bo
rn n la 1 attack developed aulTleleat
atrength la the third, alxth and eighth
Innings this afternoon for the Bar
ons t-o cop today'* game, 4 to I.
Burleigh Grimes wai In hot water
moat of the time, but when there were
men on the baaea he appeared to be
at hla beat, tightening up when the
Crackers threatened the moat In fifth,
eighth and ninth lanlnga and was
backed up by aplendid support.
S Allen twirled a good enough game
for the Crackera, but the failure of hla
teammatea to hit when hlta would have
meant runa apllled the beana.
The fielding of Roy Ellam and Otto
Williams was the bright feature of the
day. The former handled 10 chances with
out a bobble and the latter six, On three
occasions Ellam crossed over second base
to get hits, twice from the hat of Sid
Smith. Williams made a couple of nice
f plays of bard hit balls.
DANNIE CLARK
HITS TRIPLE
The hitting of Lee and Moran for At
lanta and of Grimes and Clark for Bir
mingham were the other features.
Ellam opened the Baronial third with a
single. He advanced on Hale's Infield hit
and tallied when Grimes poled a double
i to the scoreboard.
A The Crackers tied it in their half of
f the fourth when Moran and Bisland sin
r filed and Elbel sent Moran home with a
sacrifice fly. Hemingway's single and
Clark's triple put »the Barons one to the
good in the seventh. The Crackers had a
chance in the fifth with two men on and
one out, but Grimes fanned Williams and
made a great stop of Smith’s vicious
dri%e through the box.
Grinifs opened the Barons’ eighth with
a single and was sacrificed by Magee.
Hemingway was hit by a pitched ball.
J, Clark walked, filling the bases.
(f Sloan hit to Williams, who fumbled long
enough for Grimes to score, but tossed
Sloan out at first. Hemingway counted
' when McBride popped a fly in the infield
and Elbel, Williams, Bisland. Potts and
Allen all decided to let the other fellow
take Jt. The Crackers got dangerous in
their half of the eighth and ninth, but
Grimes pitched himself out of both holes
in splendid fashion.
Manager Molesworth will work Dick
> Robertson in the final game of the series.
( Manages Smith will work Heitt.

Owing to Changed Railroad
Schedules Tomorrow’s
Game Will Be
Canceled
A recently discovered defect in the
Southern league schedule, in all proba
bility, is going to rob Birmingham cf
the scheduled game with Memphis to
morrow afternoon.
According to information received
from local baseball headquarters yes
terday afternoon it is practically a
physical impossibility for the Chick
asaw* to reach Birmingham in time for
the scheduled contest. The Barons
reach home from an eight-day road trip
tomorrow morning, bqjt Memphis is
scheduled to play in Little Rock to
day and in order to reach Birmingham
in time for the opening game of the
series here the Chicks would have to
leave Little Rock at 3 o’clock in the
afternoon. This means that either the
Little Rock dr the Birmingham game
must be postponed and it is entirely
probable that Memphis will not open
here until Saturday.
In all likelihood the Memphis-Blr
mingham game scheduled here for to
morrow will be staged In Memphis
Sunday. A telegram received from
Secietary Watkins of the Memphis club
yesterday requested that the same be
played in that city Sunday, but us
President W. D. Smith was out of the
city no definite reply was made. There
is little doubt, however, but that the
transfer will be effected.
According to Secretary Stratford of
the Southern league a change ir^ rail
road service is responsible for the mix
up. At the time the schedule was made
accommodations were such that Mem
phis could have left Little Rock today
in time to reach here for the game to
morrow, but a recent change in sched
ules now makes the trip an impossi
bility.

!l DIAMOND SPARKS
NASHVILLE Is certainly tobogan
ning with a vengeance. The
Vols lost a double-header yes
terday and haven't won a game for
some little time. T’was ever thus with
Bill Schwatrz—he would have his lit
tle pennant winner for a few weeks In
the spring.
• • •
Burleigh Grimes pitched against At
lanta yesterday—snuff.
* * *
Grimes threw everything but his
shirt at the Crackers, with the result
that the henchmen of Billy Smith
scored one lone counter in the third —
and that was all. The Barons hv maul
ing with their mighty maces Southpaw
Allen managed to canter across the
home plate four times.
• • •
Ever since the Barons reached At
lanta Dick Jemlson has been picking
Omar Hardgrove to pitch, and Hardy
hasn't worked yet. Ricard, old kid,
your keen desire for the success of the i
Crackers overbalances your Judgment.
However, its possible that Hardgrove
will pitch today—but not probable.
* * •
It was officially announced at the
offices of the Birmingham Baseball as
sociation yesterday that for the re
mainder of the season the games at
Rlekwood Field would be called at
lf:30 o’clock. The association has no
information regarding the time the
games will end.
• • •
The Barons made three errors yes
terday—but we won, so why be cap
stious.
• • •
No baseball at Rlekwood Field until
Saturday—that is, unless the Memphis
Chickasaw a ride In from Little Rock
on the tail end of some handy comet.
That isn’t likely, so the ladies will
have no baseball tomorrow afternoon.
• • •
The New York Yankees were stopped
yesterday by the lowly Athletics. Bv
the way, it sounds mighty strange to
(apply the term lowly to the Ath
letics. But then they are—lowly—this
season.
Jawn McGraw must have talked to
his faltering Giants, for they won
again yesterday. This makes two
consecutive victories for the Giants—
a truly marvelous record.
• • «
The Boston Braves, with James
pitching, easily' humbled the Brook
lyn Dodgers yesterday. Stallings is
slowly getting his machine under
way.
■* * •
The TMMcans again trounced the Mo
bile Gulls yesterday afternoon. We
expected Johnny Dobbs to pick out a
lame duck to swell his winning per
centage.
* • •
Yesterday’s victories brought the
'Noonans to a tie with the Barons in
'the league standing. The ’Noogans
have the distinction of having defi- '
nitely stopped the boisterous Schwartx
men.
• • •
Burleigh Grimes not only pitched a
remarkably good game against the
Crackers yesterday, but his two blows
aided materially in the scoring. If
Grimes ever falters as a hurler his
fitting power should secure him an
outfield berth.
• * *
Dannie Clark walloped out one triple
against Allen yesterday. Maybe that
Clark boy is not making good. Well
I should so say.
* • »
It gives the shivers to the pitchers
who face that terrifying heavy end
of the Baronial hatting order. With
Hemingway, dark. Sloan and Me*
bride In a row the hurlers often cast
longing glances towards the bench.
The. summaries always show., at least
one hit for each of this swatting
quartette.
• •
Edson Hemingway annexed another
base yesterday. Hemmie is going
hfter Jimmy Johnston’s record with
a vengeance.
* • •
The fielding of Roy El lam featured
with Grimes' pitching the victory yes
terday. The sorrel topped infielder ac
cepted 10 chances without a bobble.
• • •
Remember the Batons come home
tomorrow—but don’t play at Rick
wood Field until Saturday afternoon.
