FAILURE TO WALLOP
SAFELY IN PINCHES
DEFEATS THE BARONS
Tribe oi Memphii Wins the Final Game of Series
By Hitting Dickie Robertson In Early Innings.
.Tack Bushelman Proves a Mystery Until the
Seventh—Hack Eible Proves a Star At the Bat
and In the Field
Bv RICHARD F. LIUS1FR
The Barons failed to hit—in the pinches.
It was the farewell appearance of the Memphis clan at Rick
wood and a large Saturday afterlmon crowd watched the thrill
ing baseball battle from the first inning, when the Memphii
threatened, to the final pukev pop of “Shotgun” .John Wallace
Jn the ninth, which quashed the vain hopes of the fans for
Baronial victory. The score was, Memphis 4, Birmingham 3.
i nree runs are quite a number of count
*rs for the Barons to make behind the
pitching of Dick Robertson, but in the
•eventh and eighth innings, through hits
®nd daring base running, a trio of scores
were gathered and more, and enough,
for victory would have accrued if Captain
Roy Ellam had delivered a timely blow
in the seventh, but the sorrel-topped Bar
onial field general walloped out a long,
drooping fly to Pete Allison and ended
the rally.
Rally in Seventh
T P to the seventh inning Bushelman
had retired the Barons in order with the
exception of the third inning when George
Hale was passed, only to die at first, as
Robbie and Carroll were easy outs. In
cidentally, Bushelma-n seemed well on his
way to pitcli a no-hit game when, with
two out in the seventh. Sir Todrick Sloan
sloughed a fast ball to center for a single
The mob of Baronial fans who, with the
proverbial unfairness of all fans, had been
roasting Dickie Robertson throughout tha
afternoon, suddenly bethought themselves
to toot a little for a batting rally. The
loud huzzas and the activities of Drum
im r Wilson of the Rickwood orchestra
Tattled Bushelman, with the result that
Micky Coyle was able to single to cen
ter and the fleet running Sloan scored ail
the way from first base. And then the
fens made some noise sure enough.
I nnerved by the two disastrous hits,
Bushelman walked Cecil Coombs and
then delivered the wildest of pitches to
Ellam, which placed Coyle on third and
Coombs on second. A single meant two
scores but Ellam, with throe balls and
two strikes, filed out to Allison in deepest
center?"
Bushelman Is Yanked
To begin the eighth inning Bushelman
passed George Hale and as Manager Bris
coe Lord realized the crowd had the
•'Nanny" of his pitcher, he ordered a
change, w-hich brought the elongated Wil
bur Robertson on the mound. It waj
Robertson vs. Robertson as Dickie was
at the bat. On two wide curves Pitcher
Robertson made Batter Robertson look
like a monkey but Batter Robertson re
versed things when Pitcher Robertson
contemptuously lobbed over a straight
ball, as Dickie sent a sharp single to
left. Carroll forced Robertson at second]
but on Mitchell's wild throw to first to
complete a double play. Hale scored and'
Carroll reached second. “Jeems" Magee
was not there in a pinch as he popped
out to Cruthers. However. Bill Lindsay,
good, old reliable Bill, doubled to deep
center and Carroll scored. It was up to
Sloan but the best Tod could do was to
send up a long foul fly to deep right, i
which Edson Hemingway gobbled after
R long run.
In the ninth inning Coyle and Coombs
were both easy outs, but Roy Ellam sin
gled to right. Wallace, batting for Hale,
dissipated all hopes of the Barons by pop
ping up to McDermott.
Decision of Kerin Disastrous
As for the Memphis attack on Robert
son it was largely aided by the field de
cision of Umpire Kerin, who has been
particularly vicious against the local club
during the past series. Although Rob
ertcon was nicked for nine hits he in
variably steadied with men on the pathc.
Dickie showed his best pitching in the
first when with three m«m on the hags
end one out he retired Memphis without
a score.
In the second inning Eibel opened with
a single. Mitchell followed wRh an in
field tap on which Robertson stumbled in
fielding. Bushelman was an easy out but
Pete Allison doubled to deep left and
Eibel and Mitchell scored. The third in
ning saw Briscoe Lord start things off
with a single and being forced at second
on Sc hi el's grounder. Cruthers' out ad
vanced Schlei, who scored on Elbel's two
bagger. In the fifth with two out, Cruth
ers singled and scored on Elbel's single,
which Coombs juggled. After the fifth
Robertson allowed only one hit, although
Coombs and Magee had to make some
very sensational catches.
The feature of the game was the bat
ting and fielding of Eibel. The field
ing of Magee and Coombs also featured.

I GUESS AT WHO WILL CHAMPION?
vw
Who will win the national tennis
title?
Who will be ranked first among the
tennis players on the season's play?
Maurice McLaughlin, Norris Williams,
Karl Behr?
Even the initiated are finding this
ngle of the game more of an open
location as the Forest Hills event ap
proaches and the tennis triumvirate
make ready for play.
Pretty much of the blame can be laid
iaaaaa«aaaaaaa«aaaa»«««aaaaaaa**»a*aaaaaa*aaaaaaaaaa
tc Karl Behr, third ranking player in
1314, member of the Davis cup team
and internationalist of note—‘the player
that the late Anthony Wilding rated
"one of the two or three best players
ever produced in America."
Behr’s defeat of Maurice McLaughlin,
the California Comet, in straight sets,
overshadows any sensation of the courts
this season. His brilliant match with
Champion Williams in the challenge
round of the Achelis cup play, was
none the less convincable evidence that
Eehr, In his 3fls, Is at the height of his
career and a title contender.
Coming at a time when the dope
Bterp were relegating the veteran play
ers out of the spotlight and flashing the
rays on McLaughlin and Williams,
Behr’s wonderful tennis funished the
(lopsters with a shock and multiplied
the troubles of the ranking committee.
Behr has been erratic in the past, just
as liable to beat the world's best as to
lose to players of less porminenee 1n
the net world. He is an adept at the
net game and when at his best can
travel ylth the comet like speed of
McLaughlin—he did that at Seabright,
and no shot is too difficult for him.
His game is the more remarkablo for
the reason that unlike McLaughlin and
Williams, he does not get constant
practice; his tennis being secondary to
Ins practice of law.
Yet he is the one figure in t«*3 ten
nis world which will be watched*with
greater interest than any single in
dividual at Forest Hills, for he is the
most likely looking dope-upsetter en
tered.

Is Low Card
Detroit, August 28.—Seventy-three contestants, almost even
ly divided between the east and west, today survived the pre
liminary qualification round of 18 holes, medal play—first test
ot skill in the national amateur golf championship tournament.
Davisson Herron of Pittsburg and D. E. Sawyer of Wheaton,
111., each turned in low cards of 73. Sixty had scores of 84 or

the second round Mondav.
mere were raw surprise*, though
Herron's performance attracted much
attention. A spectacular mid-iron shot
enabled him to beat par by two strokes.
Arthur V. Lee of Detroit, after going
out in 46, refused to be disheartened
and came sailing home in 36—a feat
that was not equaled.

his noted rivals with a score of 76.
Travers took 79 strokes, Standish 80
and Ouimet 82.
The official programme called for 64
