Newt Fisher is a tyrant and his gang wants the earth. After taking two games and with plenty of points to spare they jumped into the Birmingham gang yes- terday and took the third game They batted like salaries were due and run balse in tho Cresceus class. Now ali that was unnecessary and unlcind. Fisher knew we needed that game and knew we needed 1t bad but his earth-wanting propensities couldn't be kept down and he simply added another scalp to his crowded string without the slightest show of mercy.
 Newt is a good fellow and a crack play er but he never knows when he has enough, and it was the heighth of rude ness 10 kick O. dog when he is down like that crowd from Tennessee did yesterday.
 To add insult to injury the big pitcher Sample waltzed to the plate when the bases were full and with the utmost un- concern hc rapped the boil over right field fence, trotting leisurey around the corner as If it was easy. That kind of business don't go in Birmingham and MT Sample had better not do it again. The Boilernakers and their friends take a whole lot before scrapping, but its now time to act.
 The game looked square when it start ed and Moss put the first ball thrown in- to left field for two bases Martin was the victim of a pop-up to Fisher, but there was still hope when McDevitt cracked one that looked good for two bags. Little Holland, however, got his mits on the ball and the crowd yelled thief. This same man Holland robbed McDevftt of another two-bagger by catching a line drive against the fence Inter in the game. It looked an 1mpos- 1 slble feat but the right fielder went ai- te it and was given an ovation by the crowd. After Mes hard luck Veitch got a present and strolled down to the bag. Pop LaRocque was beseeched to put 1t over the fence, but the most he could do was to hit to third and force Moss out Birmingham then went to the nelo ana put up snappy game to the end but the | Boilermakers were simply up against it. | Abbatichio was first up for Nashville and Gillen gave him four bad ones. On A sacrifice and two hard inaeld outs he scored.
 Blank, blank, blank was the Boiler makers record next time And then the agony began. Fisher was hit by the ball. Holland sacrificed but Fisher was caught at second on a fielder's choice. Rentz then went to first on Kalkhoff's tumble and Holland got to second. Hill hit to the irheld but on an attempt to double yeitch dropped the ball and the bases were full Sample forgot all about that 1 contract business and saw his future be- fore. With lucky swing he smashed 1 the ball square on the nose, sending it over the fence and cinching the game. It 1 then went from bad to worse and though Birmingham played hard ball, and ball 1 that would win nine times out of ten, the Fishermen rubbed 1t in. They made one I In the fourth and negotiated for another bunch in the eighth.
 In the ninth it got lively but the pleas ure was temporary. McDivitt lined out | beautiful two bagger and everybody got jubilant veitch went out on grounder but LaRocque was stouter and hit safe over second. sending Mo to third. Gettinger then rapped out a clean single, scoring McDivitt. Kalkhoff and Culver were easy outs and there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. There is sadness in figures The score:
 Birmingham AB. R. H. 20. A. E.
