Chattanooga at Memphis. Selma at New Orleans.

With a great big lead and the game tied up in a sack, the hard-worked boiler makers took a straight shot in the air and with a graceful presentation of a bunch of seven errors, Charley Reeds heavy hitters heaped up pile of five runs and the score balanced even. The husky voice of Daddy" LaRocque failed to pull us out of the hole. and for five innings both teams see-sawed around the edge with one scared and the other glad of It. Darkness and Umpire Mahoney finally relieved the situation, and the whole thing was called off, and bets wers pulled down.
 For four short innings the rooter was In his glory, but that fall he took from paradise to a hard board plank without a cushion was awful.
 Shreveport couldn't hit the baa in punches, but that didn't cut the small est five cents worth of ice in town. When they got on the bases contributions were plentiful, and poor Pitcher Lipp suffered agony for two long and weary hours. He pitched a beautiful game. and with proper support would have held the Reed gang down to not more than two runs
 The boys tried hard to overcome their tumble, and for the last end of the game played pretty ball. Their work with the stick was right up to the notch, and 1T they keep that up there's no reason why the whole aggregation should not soon pid their position next to Selma an affection ate adieu.
 When Mahoney pressed the button Shreveport took the bat. Montgomery w@s first up and hit a slow one to Martin who threw it wild to first. The next man got in the way of one of Lipp's inclines and was given a sack.

Veitch then laced out A beauty to center scoring McDivitt Da5- dy LaRocque got in the fun and rapped MT. Schafstall for another single, scor- Ing veitch. And right here the greatest thing on record occurred. The big first
 baseman shook off the ice-wagon gait and actually, in the presence of 800 persons, stole a base. Gettinger flied out, but
 Kalkhoff hit safe scoring the first base man.
