The ball bounded directly in the fielder's hands and he made pretty throw to Fisher, cutting off the big catcher and putting a final crimp in Bir- mingham's chances to win.

The Final Rally.

In the sixth inning the rooters decided that something had to be done and every body joined in hard pull for the Ba- rons. The effect was immediate. Mitchell, the first man up was hit by the pitcher and advanced to third on Vaughans safe drive to center. Mllar hit safe one into left. scoring Mitchell. O Brien tried hard but struck out. Mcguire hit a long fly to right field and Vaughan went to third on the throw Millar stole second and Millerick was given a base on balls filling up the bags. Billy Campbell came up with his best willow and after two strikes cracked out a beautiful single over second base, scoring Vaughan and Mitchell. Duffy failed to land. but was given three strikes and sent back to the bench
 In the eighth inning the Coal Barons made another rally but could not win the game. O'Brien led off with a two base drive and stole third. On Fishers bad throw he scored, with Mcguire still standing at the bat. Mcguire worked the pitcher for base on balls and Millerick went up to bunt. On an effort to take a big lead for second Mcguire got too far away from first base and Fisher caught him about two feet from the bag on d pretty throw to Bussey. Millerick. who

Partridge Was Wild.

The loss of the game was due to the wildness of Partridge, who filled the bases on free passes and hit batter in the first inning, and then allowing four successive hits This netted the Cham- pions the neat sum, of four tallies and the grandstand hung in mourning.
 O'Brien saw that Partridge was not in shape and showed good judgment In talk ing him out. Campbell was substituted and pitched one of the most remarkable games ever twrled on the Birmingham diamond. In the eight innings he worked the little southpaw allowed three hits only and performed the astounding feat of striking out ten men. Two of the hits came in one inning, and as one of them was a two-bagger by Moss. one and only one score was showed across the plate
 On the other hand Shaw pitched a great game for Nashville and duplicated Campbelrs record of striking out ten men. The Barons got onto his curves toward the last, however, and pounded him for ten singles.
 Jimmy OBrien performed the record breaking feat yesterday of hitting for two bags and scoring before the next batter had struck at the ball. After arriving at second Jimmy stole march on the plich- CT and purloined third base with compdr' ative ease. Fisher, seeing the move, threw to third, and as the ball skipped by Cargo and bounded into the tall grass O'Brien made a break for home and scored.

How It Happened.

The game began with Wiseman up Tor Nashville and he was given his base on balls Knoll sacrificed, sending him to second. Moss was then hit by Partridge and a moment later Cooper walked, flll- ing up the bases Cargo came up and prunked the ball on the trade mark. reel Ing 1t into left field for a single and SCOT Ing Wiseman Moss was caught at the plate and the fans felt little better. Peace was not theirs, however, for Low ney took another sharp whr at the bail and hammered It into left for a single, scoring Cooper. Bussey jumped on the band wagon and nailed another Partridge bender for single, scoring Cargo, and Fisher applied the finishing touches by taking a crack into right field, scoring Lowney. Shaw struck out and put out the fire.
 The Coal Barons went in slightly em- barrassed but managed to canter along for a few innings without being able to locate MT Shaw. In the meantime Bill Camp bell had succeeded Partridge and neither team was able to become familiar with the bags. In the fifth inning Moss nego tiated the first hit off of Campbell and this he did in elegant style. He drove the ball to the left field fence for two bags and might have made three had he been inclined to hurry. Cooper was an easy one but Moss advanced to third on the play and scored a moment later on Car gos clean hit to left This was Nash ville's side of the story.

Nashville at Birmingham. Montgomery at Atlanta.

Nashville took good running start yesterday, frailed Partridge out of the box, chalked up a lead of four runs in the first inning and sat down. The Coal Barons made a masterful struggle to- wards the finish and drove the rooters deiirious with garrison rally. All to no avail, however, for when the last man went out the score stood to in favor of the Fishermen and chill swept over the hearts of the fans.
 Everybody hollered hard luck" oth- CTS showed disgust by muttering "a rot ten bunch." while an organized band started on a hunt for the hoodoo.
 It was one of the most exciting games ever seen on the West End field, and though Birmingham was beaten. every rooter got a run for his money and went away wondering how it could happen.
 The Coal Barons out-batted Fishers team and played an errorless game, but as on former occasions they failedsto land their singles in a cluster and consequent ly the runs showed up on the short side of the board.

Democratic Aldermen, Without Thought
of Justice or Law, Count The
Contested Ballots.
MAKE CHARGES OF FRAUD At POLLS
Attorney Declares That the Ballots Should
be Blanks. Friday Baker Super
intends the Count.

One of the most outrageous farces
ever perpetrated in the name of jus
tice by public body, was the recount
of the defective ballots returned by the
election inspectors of the Sixth ward
as carried out by the Democratic mem
beers of the Common Council at the
meeting on Monday evening. There
were fourteen ballots returned defect
i've, and after City Attorney John C.
Slater had announced his decision that
all the ballots should be regarded as
blanks, the Democratic members of
the Council by strict party vote elect
ed to count twelve Of the ballots for
Jacob Saftig. One vote was cast for
Anderson, the Social Democratic cam
didate, and in the name Of common
|decency one vote was cast as blank.
Saftig's man Friday" known to
the uninitiated as Superintendent Of
the Public Schools Norman T. Baker,
was the only spectator at the meeting,
and to use the language of the street
Mr.. Baker 'butted in" continually,
and gave the Aldermen advice, which,
had it been delved out in the Office of
lawyer, would have brought in humid
reds of dollars. Friday" has not as
yet sent bill for services to the Coun-
Gil for his work of securing an injus-
tice in the recount of the ballots.
In the return of the Election Inspec-
tors it was stated that thirteen defect
i've ballots had been found, but four
teen were sent to the Council. The
ballots were shown to the City Attor-
ney, and he declared that all of them
under the law should be regarded as
blanks. The Democratic Aldermen
and Baker, as soon as the ballots were
presented to the Council, set up cry
of fraud and charged that the ballots
had been tempered with before they
were returned to the City Council. It
was even alleged that there was man
in the Council room who saw the bal
lots marked after they were taken
from the ballot box, but if such was
the case the man decided to hold his
peace, and although called upon by
lAE 04dyOL W AudAC q SldtCA4Snh AG &c
fused, and his identity is not known.
AT first the Democrats sought to
have all the ballots counted in mass
for Saftig, but this was voted down
by the vote Of Mayor Pfennig. The
ballots were then taken up one by one
and as fast as a ballot was presented
the Democrats voted to count it for
Saftig. The recount could not have
changed the result of the election, and
the only thing gained by the farce Of
Monday night was the display Of the
injustice Of partisan politics.
According t. the official canvass of
the vote the officials elected last Tues.
day had the following pluralities:
