It must have been bitter dose to the Shreveport fans to have Joe Hennessy, their swapped-off man, break up a game like that of yesterday. When all was looking dark, Joe slammed one of Feyes curves against right field fence for three bags, and was thrown out trying to stretch 1t Into a home run.

Games Today.
Atlanta at New Orleans.
 Montgomery at Memphis.
 Nashville at Little Rock.

Shreveport, August 9.-(Special )-Sensa- tional plays were the order of the day at the ball park this afternoon and the hero of the performance in this respect was Johnny Duffy. He 1t was who stab- bed long fly that he had misjudged In the tenth inning, thereby prolonging the game so that his team mates could win it in the thirteenth.
 The game was tied and Norcum was on second with two men out when Graffius hit to center field. Duffy ran In but then saw the ball was about to sail out of his reach. Then he did some backward sprinting and though his legs got tangled once or twice he made one final backward | jump and got the ball with his left hand. The fast little center fielder was given the glad hand by the spectators, and as he came in the applause was so vigorous that Duffy was obliged to tip his cap. This play was the particular feature of a remarkable contest. schaub made a great running catch of a foul, and Norcum dis tinguished himself by making a difficult catch in the ninth inning that prevented a run.
 Both Pitchers SuHer. In the beginning both pitchers suffered more or less at the hands of opposing batsmen, but as the game progressed both improved. Men got on base but they could not get around to the plate. oDnoyan's wild throw in the fourth in- ming was responsible for the score being tied by the Barons. After that neither team could score until the thirteenth when singles by Vaughan, Millerick and Hennessy brought in the winning run.
 Three singles and two stolen bases gave the locals two runs in the first; and a base on balls a stolen base, a sacrifice and a single gave another in the second. In the third single a base on balls. a sac rifce, single and passed ball yielded two more runs.
 The Barons did not get busy until the third, when singles by OBrien, Streit and Duffy, and Lynch's two bagger, re- suited in two runs. It would have been three but O'Brien was thrown out try Ing to stretch a hit into a two-bagger. In the next inning, with one man down, Millerick hit for three bases and scored on Hennessys fly. Tamsett drew a base on balls and stole second. O'Brien hit to Donovan. whose wild throw let Tamsett score and o'Brien reach third Streit scored OBrien with a single to left.
 Vaughan led off in the thirteenth in- ming with a single through the pitcher too warm for him to stop. Smith went out Millerick hit to left and Vaughan was thrown out trying to reach third, Miller ick going to second. Hennessy's single to right scored Millerick and the game was won. Score:

tariff measure for presentation to the
House before July l, next
While no decision yet has been reach
ed regarding the revision of the tariff,
it is pretty well understood now that II
the revision should be decided upon, an
extra. session of Congress will be called
to meet next fall.
The Presidents proposed Southern
trip is dependent upon the final de-
cision regarding the holding Of an ex-
traordinary session next spring. If
Congress should not be In session, II
is the Presidents intention to take a
trip, but it will not be, as at present
contemplated, tour of the South II
is expected now the President will go
to San Antonio, Tex, by way of Louis

ritory.
After the reunion of the Rough
Riders. the President hopes to have the
time for a hunting trip in the noun
tains Of Colorado. On his return trip,
he may stop at some points in the
