sIAGPlLE SETTINGS

Sporting Editor Age-Herald: Please let me know through your paper if tie games are called mo game" and played over or considered games played. If con sidered mo game do the fielding and batting of the players count in the sea- sons record" Yours very truly,
 NEAL S. ZEIGLER.
 A Subscriber and Fan. Tie games are not called mo games" ]" They can be played over or not, accord ing to the wishes of the managers. There is no baseball law compelling the playing off of tie games unless some position in the pennant race is dependent thereon The fielding and batting of the players count just the same in tie games as in any other games. The only game or part of a game, when a players batting or fielding does not count is when the game is called off on account of rain before the necessary five innings have been played. Birmingham now has ten games at home and then goes back to the west before playing with the eastern teams From here the Barons go directly to Shreveport. This appears to be a rather peculiar schedule but it counts just the same.

Memphis at Birmingham. New Orleans at Nashville. Little Rock at Atlanta.
 Shreveport at Montgomery.

Just as the Birmingham and Shreveport teams arrived at the park yesterday for the concluding double header of the pres ent series a heavy rain came up and within a half hour it was seen that 1t would be impossible to play either Of the scheduled games. Notwithstanding the lowering clouds and occasional drops of rain several enthusiastic fans journey ed to the park and waited a full hour thinlirl 1t would be possible to play the last same If not the first. This was soon found to be impossible and one by one the rooters left the park.
 Memphis icomes today for series of three games and the other western teams follow. Recently the Memphis team has been playing great ball and incidentally has crawled from a fight for seventh place to a fight for the lead with New Or cans.
 Manager Vaughan has not decided yet whether he will pitch Durham or Pylant today, but if both men show up in good form 1t is probable that Pylant will De given the preference as his turn comes before that of Durham.
 The last time Lew Whistler came here with his club he essayed to pitch Harry Mcintyre but the Barons jumped on him like ton of brick and easily got away with the series. While in Memphis recent ly the Barons dropped three straight games and are itching for revenge. The game this afternoon will be called at o'clock, the usual hour. There will be no et | ble header with Memphis as that team has had no postponed games on the local grounds.
 In the series of six games just played with Sh, eveport the Barons wor four and lost two. While the loss of those two games Tuesday was an awful bitter dose, 1t ntst be said, in all justice that the rhowing on the whole was excellent
