Montgomery, August S-(special.)- Heart disease was an awful epidemic at Pickett Springs this aftern5on and while there was not fatality reported. It will require .ne moons for little more than eight hundred fans to recover from the shock given them by o'Brien's crippled Iron Barons.
 Twas a sad story, sad indeed to Mont gomerians, for to beat Birmingham Is their one desire. The heartless Barons administered their dope after all seemed serene, and while thy could not win, they kept Lew Whlstler's bunch from crawling up the percentage ladder.
 Twelve innings were played before George Leidy could be Induced to see how fatal might be a longer suspenee to fam dom. The relief seemed most welcomed. Form" says the Iron Barons are crippled but this same Form" is not always cor rect They put up perfectly clean game and 1t was characterized by some ex- ceptionally brilliant work Duffy was the bright particular star, pulling down four beauties, three of which had the label ''safe" when they were started on their swift but brief career.
 LawIer, Duffy and Smith.
 Shining right along side of Duffy was Frank Smith at third and Eddy Lawler on second. They won applause even from Montgomerians by their fast work. Law Ter went after everything and let nothing get by-ten chances accepted cleanly. Smith had but four chances, but two of these were handled In a manner that would make the eyes of a Bradley turn hra 0t1l4 Qirp ina rbuT not win was Stultz. He was found for eleven safebes, but with the exception of the nintA Inning. when Daddy Vaughan sent the steady twrler aerial voy age by sending the ball over left field fence, the hits were badly scattered. Mont gomery played cratic baH-some time brilliant and some lime rotten. By the bye errors cost them a victory.
 Here's how they got their five: Tn the second Burnett drew pass. Stickney sent a liner to left and it bounded by Brown for a double. One score. Clark singled, two scores. Bush was no good Btultz hit. but Spratt forced him to second with a grounder to Mcguire. Childs lined one to left and Clark scored but Brown caught Spratt at third. The Score blanked the Montgomery column thereafter until the eighth act. Moles- worth was first up in this inning and he pushed out a pretty double, and by the NAs Nht AtAiiHC SAlNh NpIk pl 1ldtyS was a decided feature of the game-six times up. five hits. Whistler followed with single that counted for a score and a little later scored on. Stickneys double Then 1t was all of.
 Birmingham Gets Busy.
 By the graciousness of Cupid Childs and Jack Spratt, Birmingham got busy for the first time in act four. Dad was first up but he could not deliver Miller ick then sent one to Childs. who was in a generous mood, and Millerick was safe. Lawler shot one down to Spratt who was also generous enough to throw 1t past Whistler to the bleachers. Millerick scored with Lawler on second. Kanzler
 hned, Sam Brown then took a swipe t the victor and it fell up against the fence with a resounding thud. Lawler got home. Mcguire flied out to Moles- worth.
 Stultz was pitching a hot article fof ball and there was nothing more to 1t until the ninth, when many fans had left before the shock. Dad Vaughan now comes first and he looks every inch the equal of the celebrated H. Seudder RyalI. And by the eternals, he was, for he lit on to the very first one that came over and 1t took seventeen little pickaninies to find 1t out in the corn patch. MT. Millerick tried to earn some Scudder fame. but he fell short just enough to let MolesVorth rob him. Lawler Kanz- Ter and Brown were getting envious, but
