Two More In the Third.

There was nothing serious doing again until the third, when Moss went to first or an error by Valdois. Sorber followed with bunt which he beat out and Brown advanced both men with a sacrifice. Wilhelm was again called on to do the job and he had just the right thing with him. The players came in close and he drove a pretty liner to right field scoring Sorber and Brown. Billie Smith followed with a single, but was forced out at second by Longlcys ground CT.
 For two more innings the crowd was given a breathing spell preparatory to the eruption in the "unlucky" seventh Hal Ter first up cracked out beautiful two sacher into deep right field. LaRocaue got on the band wagon and figured out a beauty which he sent to centerfield fence for two more bags scoring Haller Smith hit the ball hard. but Lipe threw him out at first while LaRocque canter- ed down to third.

Brown went to first on Valdos' error filling the bases. Will helm hit a pop fly to the pitcher who went up in the air and forgot to make n double play. Billie Smith then cracked ont a single over second base Moss and Sor- Der scoring. This ended the run getting for both sides and the rest of the game was simply played to give the fans their moneys worth.

GAMES TODAY.
Memphis at Birmingham. New orleans at Chattanooga. Shreveport at Nashville. Little Rock at Atlanta.

Once more the mighty Wilhelm hath sent the Coal Barons homeward With victorious banner perched aloft and Char ue Franks band of cliff dwellers are still working on the puzzle.
 Tn the first inning "Willie's" combina- ton failed to work but a little grease and ginger put the machine in perfect order thereafter and not another Frankfurter ever knew the exact location or the plate which tallies runs. In other words Will helm had them guessing for eight long aote and before the grand final nine Of f,a men engaged in scaling cliffs at Chick asaw Bluff had hit three times at the ball but found it not. This record or nine strike-outs is probably the record or the season, though one Memphis player says Breitenstein repeated the operation over in Tennessee about three weeks ago.
 The Coal Barons have again got line on the ball and Ashton was unmercifully pounded throughout the game. Sorber led the onslaught, rapping out three clean singles and securing pass to hrst out of five trials with the stick. Wilhelm Brown and Haner each got a two base hit and a single, while LaRocque connect ed safely for two of the sacks.
 Frank Smith Had to Retire.
 In the eighth Frank Smith strained himself In swinging at the ball and was forced to retire from the game. This caused material change in the lineup. Brown went to first base Haller to third and Blue donned the catcher's mask and breast protector.
 Birmingham went up first but failed to locate MT Ashton, and consequently had nothing coming.
 Breitenstein, the $10,000 beauty, was first up for Memphis and after striking twice was hit by the ball and went to first. On a dropped ball he stole second and scored on Valdois hit to left field. LauZon flied out to Wilhelm but Swacina followed with another single, sending Naldois to third. Gleason hit a high fly to Billie smith, making the second out, but Frank juggled with Williams grounder and the bases were filled. This little error was costly as Lipe hit safe, scoring Swacina and Valdois, making total of three runs and robbing Wilhelm of a we'll earned shut out Accorsin flied out to left field and the death knel of run-get- ting was sounded for the Frankfurters.
 Birmingham showed signs of activity at the beginning of the second and before three men were out the slag pile was in X-fO16nt arnDtiOn Frank Smith off three chunks of air and walked to the bench in disgust. Moss went out on a hot grass-cutter to Williams. With two out Sorber worked MT. Ashton for a pass and scored on Browns two-base hit to left field. Wilhelm then duplicated Brown performance and scored the catcher. Billie Smith accidentally hit the ball to the pitcher and was so provoked at his luck that he threw the bat down and the side was retired.
