Sir Tedriek Sloan did hi* be*t to
Vrkn for Birmingham In the eighth In
ning yeaterdny by slamming out n
home run which placed the Baron* la
the lead—but the fate* decreed that
Omar Hardgrove *houhl return to the
mownd and to pitch the ninth In
ning—and thu* Birmingham lowt the
third game of the aerie* to C'hatta
nooga by the score of 8 to 6. The
Ijookouts found the old sleuth for five
doubles, a triple and five miscellaneous
singles during the boisterous contest,
which lasted upward* of two hour.*
In the fifth inning, with the score 4
to 0 in favor of the ’Noogans, the Bar
ons nicked the delivery of Cunningham,
a nifty young spitball artist whom
Moose McCormack had on trial, for
two safe blow's which netted a run. In
the sixth two more bingles brought an
other counter. The seventh saw "Shot
gun'' John Wallace slam one to the
left field bleachers for a home run. In
the eighth Dannie Clark singled and
Toddie Sloan brought forth his cele
brated specialty of spilling the beans
by knocking the apple to the flag polo
for a home run which placed the Bar
one one counter to the good. Now that
the prologue is over—the tragedy be
gins.
Omar Hardgrove having struggled for
right innings with indifferent support
approached the mound in the nintli with
visions of winning his first game of the
season. Also it was not to be.
NINTH INNING
ENDS HARDGROVE
Kid Hlberrfeld stood at the plate with
a demonical grin as Hardgrove sweated
In striving to find the platter until the
veteran lnfielder of the Lookouts se
cured free stransportation to first base.
Jack Johnston, without parley of any
sort, dumped a neat little sacrifice and
Elberfeld perched on second wTith hi3
inimitable chatter. Harris, a heavy hit
ting recruit, advanced to the firing line
and slamed out a clean single to center
but Elberfeld was held on third by the
bonehead coaching of Rube Marshall.
Just why Marshall stopped Elberfeld at
third will remain one of the unfath
omable mysteries of the world until the
million uni arrives.
Harry (Moose) McCormick, w'ith a
man on third and one on first, decided
not to waste any time, so singled
sharply to right, scoring Elberfeld and
pending Harris to third. It was then that
Hardgrove was informed that his ser
vices for the remainder of the day
would be dispensed with. Karl Black
without having warmed up, relieved the
broken down veteran and Graff proved
an easy out.
With two out, two on bases, and the
Bc.ore tied the fans still had hopes thal
the game would be saved, but thes«
flickered w’hen Lusk doubled along t h«
third base line, scoring McCormick an«
Harris. Kitchens slammed one to Ellam
who fumbled and Lusk scored. Cunning
ham ended the spree by striking out.
BARONS RALLIED
IN NINTH INNING
In their half of the ninth the Baroni
staged a little rally. Ellam popped out
Wallace registered his third hit, Coombs
hatting for Black struck out. Magee
singled. Hemingway ended the farcica
fracas by poping out.
As for the Lookouts, they started

SPLITS DOUBLE BILL
Nation of Owenton Is Out
pitched by Hicks—Errors
Are Costly
Marion. May 14.—(Special.)—In a double
header pitchers' battle this afternoon,
Hicks of Marion institute outpointed
Nation, the star twirler of Birmingham
college. The heavy hitting Marion team
totaled 13 hits off Nation, while the .visi

home team began hitting from the first
and piled up eight hits in the second
game and whitewashed the visitors.
The first game was lost to the visitors
by costly errors, although the Birming
ham college team played brilliant ball
throughout.
The second game was featured by two
squeeze plays worked by Marion insti
tute and the pitching of Hicks, who was
stronger at finished than at the beginning.

The Alabamians Play
Loose Game
Columbus, Miss., May 14.—(Special.)
Roberts for the A. and M. pitched phe
nomenal ball today, blanking Auburn
to the tune of 3 to 0. The game was the
fastest seen on the local field this sea
son. and the work of Roberts was nothing
short of brilliant.. For eight innings he
j held the Auburnites without a hit or run.
and only by a hair’s breadth did they land
the single safety, which came in the
ninth with two down. Roberts hails from
Artesia, Miss.
In the last session, with one down. Steed
smashed out a long fly and a fielding er
ror netted the runner three bases. Steed
scored on Hairston's long fly to center,
crossing the plate just before the last
out was made. The Aggies cinched the
game in the first inning Brandon laced
out a triple, Frentz followed with an
other three-sacker, scoring Brandon. An
other tally came in the second on a
wild throw. The Alabamians played a
rather loose fielding game, and Roberts
had them constantly lat his mercy. The
last game of the series will be played
Saturday afternoon. Score: R.H.E.
