 Visitors Only Run.
 The only run scored by the visitors was made in the sixth. Roth came up first and hit safe. Hopkins tried to bunt, but the ball went in the air and Wilhelm got 1t, throwing to LaRocquein time for pretty double. Peas hit for two bags. Lawrence hit a single and Peas scored, while Lawrence went to second on the throw to Ballentyne. Taylor hit a grounder to LaRocque wno threw to Haller. Haller, for Birmin gham, went out from Peas to Shocks; LaRocque did the same thing, while Ballentyne followed the example of both his predecessors. The seventh, which was not fatal this time, followed. Durrett was first up for Chattanooga. He made a single after the umpire failed to call an attempt to bunt a etrilSe, which failure was very unkind of MT. Cline to say the least. He then stole second. Daugherty, who was next up, walked to first, and both walked up another notch on the umpire's calling d balk. This decision seemed to be decid- edly off color. After the argument on the decision was stopped, Spratt came to bat. He hit low, hot liner to Warren, who caught it and touched the bag before Durrett could return. thus getting a l double unassisted-at a time too, when 1t was badly needed. Shocks hit a fly 1 to Haller, and the rooters breathed cas- | fly. It was one-two-t three for B;rming- ham, Moss hitting to Daugherty, War ren going out from Taylor to Shocks and Wilhelm hitting 6 foul fly Co Roth. | In the eighth Roth, for the visitors, knocked a fly to Warren which was far 1 foul, but the little third baseman l n under it and landed on the ground, but with the ball in his hand Hopkins went 1 out from Moss to Haller and Peas hit q 1 fly to LaRocque.
