In Stirring’ Double Bill Karl Black Pitches Barons
to Victory—Second Game Won On Sloan’s Time
ly Single In the Ninth—Hemmingway Plays At
First Base
Hi RICHARD F. Ll$>SIER
Amid the cheering strains of the Cubanola Glide the rejuven
ated Barons pulled a come-back yesterday afternoon against
the Memphis Chicks by winning both ends of a stirring double
header. The score of the first game was 6 to it and the second
6 to 5. The feature of both games was the pitching of Karl
Black, who hurled the full 18 innings and seemingly at the end
was strong and willing for more work.
Karl Black has long been noted r.s the
iron man of the Southern league, but yes
terday was tho first time he has demon
strated his rare ability for the Barons,
although last Beason Herr Loudenslager
was won't to pitch extra Inning games
every day for the defunct Billlkens. Yes
terday afternoon Black started the first
game in excellent fashion and showed
rare determination in the second inning
when with none out Cruthers was passed
and Eible promptly poled a fast one over
the right field fence. However, none of
the frisky Memphii came anywhere near
scoring following this session, while the.
Barons suddenly recovering from a bat
ting slump landed on Chandler in the
sixth and murdered his slants to all parts
of the lot for a total of five runs.
Black Starts Second
Burleigh Grimes started warming up for
th£ second game, but Manager Molesworth
suddenly gave in the entreaties of Black,
who asked to be pent in again, and the
eccentric southpaw prepared to hurl the
second game. A sudden ehower inter
vened for several minutes, but after some
delay one of the best games of baseball
Been at Rickwood Field during the cur
rent season was started.
In the first session the Chicks fell
on Black for three solid hits and two
runs. Dave Roth had his old mesmerizing
influence over the Barons in the first
inning, but in the second session the
Barons batted around for a quartet of
wallops, a pass, an error and four runs.
After the second inning RoHi pitched in
vincible hall until the ninth, holding the
Barons hitless. In the meanwhile the
Chicks through some timely hitting in
the fourth and seventh had accumulated
two more counters and tied the score. In
Memphis’ half of the nine aft^r two were ,
out Black weakened and allowed Mitchell
to triple and Roth to single placing the j
Chicks in the lead. However, when the !
Barons came to bat the thrills began.
Ninth Inning a Thriller
It was getting dark, but the large crowd
of fans waited in their scats for the ex
pected rally. It was announced that John
Wallace would bat for Black and “Shot
gun" promptly singled to center on the
emiling and confident Mr. Roth. Heming
way, after trying vainly to sacrifice, ;
popped out. “Jeems’’ Magee made his
second double of the game to center and
Wallace, by daring base running, scored
the tying run. However, the Barons had
tasted blood and nothing but victory
would satisfy. The fans in a wild up
roar were throwing cushions all over the
field and interfering with the play. Lord
Cecil Coombs tried hard to bring Magee,
home, but finally flied out to “Red"
Stewart. With two out Sloan came to bat j
and on the second ball pitched slammed j
the pellet to the right field fence, and j
Magee raced across the plate with the
winning run. It marked the end of a
bitterly fought game which was featured
by the clever fielding of Coombs and
Lord in left, and Magee in center.
Eible Hits Homer
As to the details of the actual scor
ing in the first game, Cruthers walked
in the second inning and scored with
Bible on his hit over the right field
fence. After being held scoreless for
five innings the Barons hammered
young Mr. Chandler in the sixth. Black
started the fun by getting "pinked"
on the arm. Hemingway laid a neat
sacrifice and Magee singled to center,
Bending Black to third. Coombs popped
out and Sloan was hit with the ball,
filling the bases with two out. Bill
Lindsay doubled, cleaning the sacks !
and after l^llam had walked Dannie :
Clark tripled, again depopulating the,
hassocks. Hale conveniently ended the
session by grounding out. In the
seventh Hemingway with one out whs
passed and reached third when Cruth
ers dropped Schlei's throw and scored ]
on Mitchell’s error of Coomb’s ground
er.
Chicks Never Threatened
At no time during the first game I
did the Chicks threaten after scoring
a duo in the second inning and Black
Beamingly was getting stronger with
every inning pitched.
However, in the second game Black
was given a hot reception. Allison
opened with a single. McDermott was
passed. Stewart fanned. Lord singled
to center, scoring Allison. Andreen
flied out to Magee, who made a re
markable catch. Cruthers singled.
scoring Lord. In the fourth Cruthers’
single and Eihle's ringing double
against the right field fence followed
by Mitchell’s sacrifice fly, scored an
| other run. In the seventh the Chicks
I tied the score on Eihle's single, two
outs and Allison’s safe wallop to left.
In the ninth with two out Mitchell
tripled to deep left and scored on
Roth’s single to right.
As for the Barons, they fell on Roth
in the second inning. Lindsay walked.
Ellam sacrificed. Clark and Lindsay
were safe on a fielder’s choice. Hale
singled to right, scoring Lindsay. Black
singled to right, sending Clark to
third. Hemingway sent a high sacri
fice fly to left, scoring Clark. Magee
was hit with the ball. Coombs singled
to left, scoring Hale. Sloan singled to
center scoring Black. Lindsay ended
the session by fanning out. The story
of the ninth has already been told.

Team Reports at Rickwood
Early This Week
A1 nanluing, n speedy outfielder from
the Snglnnw (cum In the defunct
Southern Michigan league, will report
for n trial with the Baron*. President
M. 1), Smith announced last night that
Fin*lia;ig ha* been ordered to report n*
soon as possible for a trial.
The newest recruit is a speed merchant.
While he has never slugged heavily, he Is
reputed to be a sensationally fast out
fielder and a star on the bases. He has
been in the Southern Michigan league for
several seasons. At one time he had a
trial with the Detroit Tigers, but was
farmed out to Saginaw. He was recom
mended to Moles worth last year.
In Bashang, Birmingham will have a
| batnman who is ambidextrous. He hits
both left and right-handed, and has been
[the leader of batsmen with Saginaw. He
I is reputed to be a finished player.
Cecil Coombs was a member of a team
ir. the same league with Bashang and is
acquainted with him. "Bashang is a
speedy player," Cecil stated last night,
"and is a swell fielder. While he has
never slugged very heavily, he has played
consistently arid managed to hit about .200 j
or .27o. He is a terror on the bases ,
and always manages to pilfer a goodly j
number of bases during a season.
"He has been lead-off man for several ;
I seasons, and is a good ‘waiter.’ He hits
from either side. Personally, he is a nice;
fellow’."
Bashang was wired transportation to!
Birmingham yesterday, and is expected j
to report at Rickwood early next week. He
has not been s.gned permanently, and
will not be until he has proved his worth.
What changes his coming will force have
not been announced, nor has the position
where ho will play been divulged.
He was a free agent when secured, as
the Southern Michigan league gave up the !
ghost last week.

11 THE IRON SOUTHPAW
KARL BLACK
Blackle demonstrated that he ia a determined and skillful hurler yes- j
terday when he set down the Memphis Chicks to two defeats in one aft
ernoon. It is true that Blackie’s mates materially aided in the second
game by timely batting rally in the ninth but nevertheless great credit
should be given this Stirling fork hinder who, despite his eccentricities,
has the heart to work and the ability to pitch winning ball. Mr. Lou
denslager, our hats are off to you.

CHARACTER—Person
ality. When you meet a
man you instinctively catalog
him ■— decide for yourself just
what kind of a man he is and
whether or not you're going to
like him.
If he's wishy-washy, or over
bearing. or bitter, or loud, or
effeminate, or dull, or uninter
esting, you're through, right
there.
It is character that decides you.
Beverages have character.
Some can’t outlast a single
meeting.
Others are wishy-washy, ef
feminate and uninteresting.
You forget them—quHRdy.
Others are overbearing—too
decided in flavor or effect. You
avoid them.
COCA-COLA has the character,
the personality of a fine, whole
, some, manl$ man. It meets the
» palates of men and women on
this common ground.
It is pleasing without being ef
feminate.
It is vigorous without over
doing it.
It bears repetition without
losing the freshness of appeal that
first charmed you.
You—be you man or woman
—meet in this beverage those
qualities that are admirably manly
in a man.
Instantly you will decide that
you like it for its character—its
personality. Time will prove
the soundness of your judgment.
For 29 years COCA-COLA has
been put to the test. Daily for
29 years it has passed the lips of
the American people—has borne
the test of repetition without
losing its zest.
For 29 years it has proved it3
wholesomeness—its vigorous
ness—its deliciousness—its char
acter.
You can^prove to yourself in
one glassful what 29 years have
built into its reputation.
Demand the genuine by full name—
nicknames encourage substitution.

Chubby Manager in Active
Training and Will Soon
Be Seen in Action
Molesworth Is on the verge of do
ing a “comeback.”
The rotundal leader of the Barons
Is getting himself In trim to return to
the game In .event the Barons do not
pick up their stride. Molesworth Is
confident that his trusty willow will
| still pound out hits at n .300 clip. If
| the Barons do not tighten their hold
on a place In the first division before
August 1 he has announced that he
will re-enter the strife.
I^ast season, his fourteenth In the
Southern league, Molesworth signed a
player's contract, placed himself in the
outfield and slugged at a .338 clip for the
27 games he participated in. The timely
blows of the Birmingham boss played a
large part in the winning of the bunting
after Knisely’s departure to the Cubs.
‘‘If on August 1,” said Molesworth last
night, “the Barons are not going better
than they are at present* I intend to re
turn to the game in the outfield. I am
getting Into condition for active work
again and feel that good fortune might
enable me to hit well again. Injuries
have played havoc with the effectiveness
of the club, but, with all of the regulars
in good shape, we ought to be right in
the running.
“While it is a rat cult proposition
to get into shape for regular participation,
I have been exercising fop some time and
feel that I will be ready in event my
services are needed/'
By the time limit »«ct, Molesworth will
have had an opportunity to see the new
line-up, including tbe outfielder for whom
he is dickering, in operation. If the ex
pected spurt follows, the Baron boss will
remain on the bench. If not, he will de
pose some gardener and appear In the
outer works.
