Before the visiting mogul* of the
Southern league the Huron* nml Trnv
eler* put up one of the grande*t l»o*e
hall game* *eeii at Riekwood field thl*
•ea*on. Incidentally, a* predieted la
thene column*, the llnron* achieved
Victory through the airtight pitching
of Dick Robertson and the timely hot
ting of Sir Todrlek Sloan. The score
wmm 4 to 2.
Only 21 of the vi*itor* faced Roh
vrtMOn In the flr*t *even stanza*. Thl*
vaa due to three Mpnrkllng double
play* In which lloy Fllnm, Dannie
Clark and Charlie Carroll played
l»r»mlncnt role*. The fielding of Car
roll, Fllnni, Clark for the llnron*. and
of Downey and Stnrr for the Traveler*
at all time* bordered on the *eu*a
tional.
In the first inning after a fast double
play Clark speared Downey's line drive
■with his gloved hand, retiring the side.
Downey robbed Robertson of a hit in
the third by making a one-handed stop
of his fast grounder and recovering in
time to throw out the piteh<f at first
With two on bases McBride hit an al
most certain double to center but Charley
fctarr leaped high in the air and pullet]
the ball down with his gloved hand end
ing a Baronial batting rally. However
despite the high class work most of the
•cores came as the result of rank errors
Magee walked in the opener. Heming
■way lined to Downey who made a fin*
•lop and a double play resulted. Claris
grounded out. In the second Sloan
•walked and McBride bunted. Gibson then
threw wild to center field in trying tc
head off Sloan and both Sloan and Mc
Bride scored. After this East pitched
great ball and the Barons were unable
to get on the paths until the sixth inning.
Robertson grounded out. Magee was hit
squarely on the head by one of the fastest
balls Blast cou! 1 throw. It was expected
by the fans that Magee was killed oi
seriously injured, but the centerfielder ol
the Barons smiled and trotted to his
base. The ball that hit Magee was re
tired from the game as it was lopsided
from striking such hard substance.
MAGEE UNINJURED
BY PITCHED BALL
That Magee was uninjured from the
blow' was easily apparent as he immedi
ately stole second. Hemingway groundec
out and Magee went to ttilrd. Clark was
passed. Sloan singled to right, seorim
Magee. McBride lined to Starr for th*
feature catch of the game.
In the seventh singles by Carroll an.
Ellam and Starr's error resulted in th.
last Baronial run. Moran who pi tehee
the eighth inning for th$ Travelers re
tired the Barons in order.
Robertson was completely master of th*
Travelers until the eighth inning. In th*
first Jantzen was passed, but Starr hi
Into a fast double play. Three batten
grounded out in the second. Shaw single*
in opening the third, but was doubled u|
on Gibson's grounder. The fourth, fifli
and sixth innings furnished only fleldin;
exercise for the Barons. In the seventl
Jantzen singled, but again Starr hit int.
a double play, Ellam to Carroll. Th'
eighth inning, however, was a dangerou
episode.
B51wert started the fun by singlinj
cleanly to center. Murray flied out. Cov
lngton hit a hard grounder which bounce*
over Hemingway’s head and went for i
double. Hemingway would have fieldei
the ball for a sure double play had no
the sun got into his eyes. Shaw struct
cut, but Wallace dropped the ball ant
the bases were full. Gibson grounded tt
Ellam back of second and Elw'ert ant
Covington scored on slow fielding. Shav
was caught trying to steal third. Grib
bens batting for East forced Gibson a
second. In the ninth with two out Downej
singled, but Elwert promptly forced th*
runner at second and Dick Robertson hat
achieved his ninth victory of the season.

TWO BARON STARS~1
TOD SLOAN AND EDSON HEMINGWAY
Two former Volunteers are the most reliable hitters on the Baron roster.
Hemingway is the leading Baron hitter and also the leading base runner of
the league, while Sloan is a close secpnd in both departments. Hemingway is
generally classed as the best third sacker in the league and assured of a
major league berth next season while Sloan has few superiors in right field
and will also be drafted to higher company in the fall. Both youngsters have
been in the majors before but were returned for lack of experience.

IMOBILE GULLS TO r
eJUNFRURSE
Baugh Makes St,.urgent Re
garding Meeting—Smith
Entertains at LunCi
After all the noise ahd publicity regard- i
Ing the financial difficulties of some of !
the Southern league teams the moguls
got together yester"-ty morning in room
912 of the Tutwiler hotel, and after a
three hours’ heart to heart chat it was
announced that no franchises were to be
disposed oft and that Mobile would re
main in the circuit for the remainder of
the season. The presence of Dr. Harry
Inge, known as the dean of baseball In
Mobile, at the meeting is held to be re
sponsible for the determination of Presi
dent T. K. Jackson to hold on to the
Gulls. It was also stated that no assist
ance of a financial nature would be given
the Mobile club.
Other matters taken up at the meet
ing was the guarantee given tflaiting clubs
and this after a short talk from all
present resulted in a unanimous vote to
cut the guarantees from *125 to *75. This
will hardly aid Mobile as the Gulls are
now starting on a long road trip.
Following is the statement of Presi
dent R. H. Baugh at the conclusion of j
the meeting:
"Everything has been straightened* to j
the satisfaction of all present and we j
feel that this meeting has been of ben- '
eflt to the league. Mobile will retain
i her franchise for the rest of the season
and will not be given financial assistance.
Ihe guarantee to visiting clubs has been
cut from *126 to *75 by the unanimous
vote of all present. I also desire to state
that during the course of the summer
there will be two or three other of these
get togetheV meetings to talk over the
welfare of the league. I am optimistic
after the enthusiasm displayed by the di
rectors regarding the baseball situation in
the Southern league and feel that wetter
times are at hand." J
Following the meeting. President W.
D. Smith of the Birmingham club, enter
tained the visiting magnates to lunch at
the Tutwiler and in the .anernoon the !
moguls attended the bail game at Rick
wood Field. The visitors were loath to
expressed their opinion of the excellent
team that represents Birmingham this 1
season. One of the moguls stated that
it was not good for Southern league base
ball for the Barons to win the pennant
every season. ’ R. F. I,.
