Games Today.

Birmingham at Little Rock.
 way out here in the Arkansas town, They whipped us up and whipped us
 down;
 Because we threaten to return no more, They won't allow us a single score.
 And I guess that's whipping some.
 Little Rock, September S.-(Special)-' The Coal Barons have spent two days in Arkansas In a fruitless endeavor to shove a runner across the Little Rock plate, but so far the best that can be done is to anchor 8 blue coated Baron around as far as third, and there let him suffer a death of slow torture. Right on top of a 10 to defeat the Iron Makers faced a 6 to score board this afternoon and they are still on the road.
 The pitchers have worked hard and have done their best, but the large lights among the Travellers have been drinking beef blood and gun powder for three days and can crack anything on the nose that comes in the shape of a baseball. On the other hand the boys from Slagtown have faced Watt and Guese and have never had chance since their arrival in the kingdom of Kavanaugh. They have hit the ball hard on various occasions, but line drives and hot grounders were plunked right into the hands of one of the pennant chasers, and there you are.
 Vaugan Bats Fiercely.
 Harry Vaughan put out drives today that would ordinarily have netted him at lDa ct ftun hoo ooh hut If,Ct 1,af Conkling liners right into the hands of the fielders and only succeeded in land Ing one safe one during the afternoon. He was hitting so hard that even the Arkansas rooters felt sorry for him and gave him the glad hand whenever he ap- peared for rap.
 Bobby Triton started into pitch but showed tendency toward wildness right at the jump. O'Brien would have taken him out but he expected a double header tomorrow and needed both Crabell and Campbell. Tonight, however, Mcque Finn decided that he would have but one game tomorrow as he Is a little shy on pitch CTS, both being sick.
 When the show opened Triton was paving up the earth and champing his bits, and as the umpire turned him loose he could not hit the plate with his hat. Mailing, the first man up, took a stroll, Gilbert bunted and Delehanty clouted out his usual two-bagger. In a moment the bases were full on the waiting system, and Householder's single sent two more runs in the direction of the pennant To- ward the last Triton settled down and pitched good ball, but it was then too late, and the game had gone glimmer- ing
 Guese Pitches Great Ball.
 
 Guese pitched a great game or ball, and the Iron Men were completely at his mercy. The only chance Birmingham had to score was in the third inning when Millerick reached first on an error and McAndrews was hit by the pitcher. Kanzler advanced them both on sacri- flee. Mcguire and Triton famed the breeze and all hope was gone
 The Birmingham team played much better game today than yesterday, but inability to hit was the trouble, and it was never overcome Duffy Sam Brown and Kanzler did some beautiful work in the field, and MacGuire and Lawler played rings around the champions and second. All in all 1t was a great game for Little Rock, but fifteen players clad in blue grouped their way into the hotel at the close of the day with pale and tear stained faces. Crabell will pitch tomor- row, and as Micque Finn is shy on pitch CTS the Barons expect to take a mighty brace.
