 poned.
 Little Rock-Selma game postponed.
 Though slightly crippled, Newt Fisher has fine bunch of ball players. and that tells the tale of the Boilermakers' defeat.
 Smiling George had a wizards whip yesterday and few of the Birmingham men could solve his conundrnms. Four sick1y hits and scattered at that Is the record against the old Little Rocker. Nobody could win at that gait, especially when the other fellows took eleven hard raps at the mighty Wilhelm
 We were simply beaten by good, hard playing, and neither the umpire nor any body else could have saved us
 Moss, yeitch and LaRocque executed two pretty doubles and the whole team played snappy ball, except when hold of the, stick Vsitch startled the natives and had to take off his cap for making a phenomenal one-hand catch, robbing Ballantyne of good hit.
 By the way, that man Baliantyne got real wrathy in the sixth inning and used ugly words to the umpire for calling Moss safe on a steal of second. In fact the Nashville man got so unruly he had to be put on the bench SaInple came in and took his place. Hill went from the bench to left garden. and with a sore hand put up some excellent work
 It looked kinder easy in the first inning when Moss instead of taking his usual drill laced out bee,uty over second. The fans got life right from the jump, h,,f ffa tatn later attempted to pilfer second and was thrown out there was a drop in the tenn perature.. The rooters piteously begged Martin to put it over the fence, but all he could do was to send one to Ballan- tyne, who had him out at first, but Par rott dropped the ball. Martin then stole second and the crowd looked to McDivitt to do the work. He hit fly to center, however, and as Martin had started to steal third he couldn't get back in time to keep Goodenough from catching him at second and causing a double.
 The blank scores kept up until the third, when Sample hit hot one to left field Blackburn followed with one to right, Sample going to third By this time all the yelling had stopped and nothing but the mournfuI noise of lonely Nash vile rooter broke the stiffness of the day. Before Blackburn could get away from first Abbatichio had hit one to third. Kalkhoff threw the ball to second in an attempt o.make a double, but the ball get to first too late and Sample scored on the play. Blackburn was then put out at second, retiring the side.

 ing her way for while. and it was a ten-to-one shot that the Boilermakers would score. LaRocque led of with a pretty hit to center Gettinger sacrificed and went to first on a f1elder's choice, LaRocaue going out at second. Kalkhoff hit to left and Gettinger landed safe on third sack. Culver hit a high bounder to Blackburn and Gettinger attempted to score. but smiling George got swift and threw him out at the plate. Culver was then put out trying to steal second, and the pipe went out.
 The next bunch of fireworks was let loose in the seventh and eighth innings, when the Fishermen negotiated with Wilhelm for five safe ones, including double sackers, which netted them three runs and made the crowd at the Tennes- see end of the wire happy Reitz lined out double-header and scored on Black burns single in the seventh. Goodenough opened up the eighth with grounder to center, and was followed by Parrot with safe grass-burner to right Fisher then cracked the ball to right field fence, scoring both the runners and landing on second himself. This ended the run get ting, and all that is left is to read the tale in figures.
