A Peculiar Double Play.

Edouard handed them the best he had In the shop but 1t consisted of a grounder to Weikart and right here came the most peculiar double play made at West End Weikart whipped the ball to the plate catching Vaughan. In the meantime Brown had started to third so Graffius slung the Victor to little Joe Keenan and Brown was caught between the bags There was nobody to cover second among the infelders but Hennessey, the center fielder who took the bull by the horn and ran to second base in time to grab the throw from Keenan and put Brown out
 In the next inning Birmingham scored again on successive singles by Millar. T. Dred Cavender and Jack of the house of Keenan,.
 As MT. Robert Ellotte Gilks. Jr, was suffering from his over ertion, 1t was decided to suspend hostilties until the sikh and seventh innings. Promptly on time Mcguire began proceedings by walk ing to first and went to second on A passed ball. Jack Keenan sacrificed and Duffy short singled, sencing Mcguire home. O'Brien hit to Weikart, forcing Duffy out at second. Vaughan then cleaned things up with a two-bagger to right and scored a moment later on Browns long drive to left field fence.
 In the seventh Millar led off with a walk and Cavender bunted. Hughey threw the ball wild. however, and both were safe. Mcguire flied out to the pitch CT and Keenan landed safe on Becks error, which incidentally allowed Milar to score. Duffy went out on a pop up to second and OBrien singled, scoring Cavender. With two on bases Vaughan slung three-bagger into deep left center clearing the bases and closing the run getting performance. with a total of 9. Brown struck out while trying to put the ball over the fence. and thus ended a pleasant story. Clark will pitch for Bir- mingham today.

 Welding the willow with vicious vim the Coal Barons sent MT. Hughey to the tall timber yesterday and smothered Shreveport in a complete shut out by the score of to 0. Everybody smashed the ball Into the far corners of the lot and many tired legs were nursed by the visit ing fielders in the wee hours of the night
 Foxy Jack Keenan, minus the big hlr- his trousers and handed the Shreveport CTS one of the prettiest selections of balls ever shot oyer a slag pile plate. The vis- itors were completely at his mercy from the jump and they never had a chance On flelders choice Graffius managed to reach third base after landing safe- ly for two bags. This was the only Shreveporter to get that far, and his funeral took place a few minutes later. Keenan had his speed as we'll as his tbAN % anu q SiON lodlti ildue l1OnheNS out of the widely heraded plunkers from the south
 While the visitors were chopping up the air around the plate the Coal Barcns played a magnificent game in the field and not chance for an error was made. Brown was a little unfortunate in get ting two passed balls but neither of them cut any particular ice around the West End enclosure and that terrific batting eye made up for all small bobbles
 Vaughan slugeer.
 Vaughan went at the ball like a bull at a red rag, and ere the sun had set the big first baseman had laced out a pair of two-baggers, one triple and a single out of five times up. Brown followed close behind him with beautiful three- sacker, a smoking double and a single over third Incidentally 1t would be ln- teresting to note that this fearful cloutinR kept the home plate hot by the contact of Birmingham feet and 1t was necessary et one time to call time to allow the rub- Der to cool off.
 Lawler and Duffy both cracked the ball somewhere near the middle of its face, but played in hard luck. as three of their drives went square into the infelders' hands and the batting average sank.
 The first inning was unproductive ex- cept the sport of seeing a little hitting by way of recreation, and negotiations were suspended until the third The first man up who happened to be MT. John Vanaltron Duffy was allowed to visit first without charge. Johnny became am. bilious, however, and was thrown our at second on an attempt at embezzlement. James Astor o Brien was also presented with an honorary pass, and a moment later seampered to third on MT. Harry Dalrymple Vaughan's single to right cen- ter. On the throw to third Vaughan went to second, and Samuel Fitzgibbon Brown popped a short single into left and O'Bren scored. Brown soon after wards went to second on the throw, and : was up to Lawler.
