New York, August 4.-With no minister present and surrounded by old friends of his family, Richard Henry Stoddard. the venerable blind poet. stood beside the grave of his wife in Sag Harbor and pronounced the eulogy upon her life.

 Him and Frank Follows.

New Orleans. August 4.-Under orders of manager Abner Powell. a big police man today refused admission to St Vrain. Evans and Babb of the Memphis baseball club when they tried to enter Athletic park, and the result was that no game was played between the Mem phis and New Orleans baseball clubs. Unless khe differences between the two managers are settled none of the series of three games will be played. Both are showing a spirit of stubbornness and each declares that he will not yield.
 Frank and his team rode out to the park at the usual hour At the gates were Powell and policeman. As Frank and his men walked up to the park Pow ell pointed to St Vrain. Evans and Babb and the officer laying his hands on them, declared they could not enter. Frank was allowed to go in as the manager of the club in charge of it's financial arrange ments He went to the box office where he and Powell passed each other some spicy compliments.
 Can't Run the League.
 "One hard headed man is not going to run this league" said Powell Fisher and Frank ran it last year, but they wont do it this crack"
 At 3;45 o'clock Frank lined up his men again on the outside of the park and again sought admission. As before all were allowed to go in except the three already mentioned.

The unlucky, unsuccessful and oft times maltreated Coal Barons signalized their return home by putting up stiff game against Atlanta and finally fore ing the contest to a draw in the tenth inning when the dark shadows from the slag pile saved somebody.
 From the jump Wilhelm's bluecoated bunch shook off the bitter bangs of de- feat and went after the once champion kickers like a tornado. They landed on Streit in lively shape during the second inning and took a nice lead of two runs The advantage was followed up in the fourth inning and with Wilhelms arm working like a whip cord it looked as if the visitors would be treated to a first class shut out.
 This belief was short lived, however, for a two base hit and a single sent a run across the plate in the sixth. There was nothing serious doing until the ninth inning when everybody had packed up their duds and started home.
 Something Doing.
 Winters led off with a single and ad- vanced to second on Billie Smiths fail ure to stop the ball. Valdois hit to short and went safe on Reitz's bad throw to Brown Hoffmeister hit safe and Win ters scored Hurlburt then put an easy one down to first and Hoffmeister was thrown out at second Valdois going to third. Hurlburt attempted to take sec ond base with ease but Blue shot the ball to Wilhelm who relayed it to second and the ex-amateur was thrown out. With two men out the chances looked better, but Stouch deliberately rapped liner into right field for three bases and Valdois scored This tied up the game and great was the dismay when Reitz threw Delehanty's grounder wild allow ing Stouch to come In with the lead. Streit forced Delehanty out at second on slow infield ball and the crowd thought the game gone.
 In the last half the Coal Barons took a brace, and after Brown had been thrown out, Deisel hit safe. Reitz flied out to short and things looked dubious I in the extreme.
 Wilhelm Was Wise. Wilhelm was wise, however, and sent Bill Campbell in to hit for him. Camp | bell was equal to the emergency and smashed the ball into left field, sending Deisel to third and taking second him. | self on the throw in. Lawler then shot hot one to Valdois, who was slow in get | ting it to first, and Deisel came in with | the run that saved the game. Neither | side could do any business In the tenth, and Umpire Matthews called the game on account of darkness.
 The early part of the game was charac- l terized by the pretty hitting and base running of Brown. The first two times up he hit for a single and two bagger and scored both times.
  | feat of going from first to second on a l fly caught in right field. This was never seen on the Birmingham field before. Denver will do the box work for Bir- mingham today and Henley will perform for the visitors. On account of the re- cent disastrous trip the crowd yesterday was next the smallest ever seen at West End It numbered about TOO. With such playing as was put up yesterday it is expected that the attendance will be nearly doubled today.
 The score follows:

We shall play no game here unless St. Vrain. Evans and Babb are allowed to take part. Todays action is the most remarkable I have ever heard of Um- pire Cline and Manager Powell had no authority from President Nicklin or any one else to bar my men from the park. I have a telegram from Nicklin. dated August l, saying that all restrictions against my players had been withdrawn. Powell had no business to try to shut them out.
 "I am not trying to break up the league I am simply the victim of a con spiracy. Powell and his faction want me out of the league and I don't intend to go without a fight. So far as the ac- ton of President Farrell of the Minor League association is concerned, he blacklisted me and my players without hearing any evidence from my side.
