Birmingham played a tie game with Chattanooga yesterdsy-a game made tiresome by an hours squabble over a decision rendered by Umpire Joe Burke. The final score of 2 and 2 was all the runs possible for either side to make before osrkness storpcd the contest at the end of the eighth inning. The decision over which so much kick ing was done ty all the members of both teams came in the sixth inning. Moles- worth was first up in this inning. He hit safe. Myers bunted, but Molesworth was caught at seaond. Miller then came up and hit safe. Myers landing at second. Durrett next up, hit one to Campbell who threw to F. Smith just in time to catch the runner.
 In the meantime Myers was running from secC nd. Burk, in watching the first base, turned his back on third base and Myers cut the bag about fifteen feet. In doing so he was able to get home. Im- mediately Brown made a kick for Bir- mingham. This kick was prolonged until every man on the Birmingham team and nearly every man on the Chattanooga team was mixed up in the talk. A crowd lIOiH lne BTdHuSIdnu WenL on the uelQ and gave testimony. The crowd also argued. nightly and forcefully. Finally the official scorer was consulted and he stated that the base was not touched.
 Then Burk thought and thought and thought. He made several propositions but Chattanooga would have nothing but that Myers was safe. Birmingham, on the other hand, would have nothing but that Myers was out. The umpire tried to affect a compromise, but to no avail. l Then he called Myers out for failing to touch the bag. And the crowd cheered-- that Is, the part which wanted to see the run not counted.
 Up to this time neither side had scored. After the argument had finally been stopped the game was resumed. In the seventh w. Smith, first up, hit safe, but was caught at second. Cavender walked and Brown reached first on a fielder choice. F. Smith hit fly to Durrett, but Deisel hit safe for three bases, and the two men scored. Reitz went out on a l grounder to first base.
 In the eighth, with two men out, Miller walked. Durrett sent him home on two- bagger. He later scored on F. Smith s err or. After two men were out in the next the game was called on account of 1 darkness.
