It looks as if the Coal Barons have struck pennant winning stride and somebody will have to get up and dust to stop them.

Memphis, August 16.-(Special.)-By an exhibition voted by popular consent to be of the brand that places teams near the top of a pennant race the Coal Barons checked the victorious career of Arthur Goodwin, the curvless wonder who had razzled- d-dazzled his opponents during the last eight streight games. Incidentally the first triumph of Wiley Durham over the Memphians was recorded and there was not much doubt about the ultimate ending of the AZ story after the disap- pearance of the fourth inning.
 The Barons tied the score in the fifth Up to that time the locals held a flimsy lead of two tallies, Tamsert opened the fifth with slow bounder to Walters and race horsed to first before the throw. He stole second and scored on Dunham's single to left field. Duffy was passed but was forced at second on Lynch's grounder to Walters who, however, advanced Dun ham to third Lynch stole and Catcher Hurlburt contributed the second run of the inning by throwing high over Beech CTS head to catch Durham.
 Lynch Opens 1t Up.
 Lynch opened the way for the settle ment of the game in the eighth when he banged a double to right Vaughan hit to Beecher and lived on the low throw, which also advanced Lynch to third Smiths fly to Dungan was long enough out to allow Lynch to beat the home ward throw and Vaughan also advanced to third on the play, from where he scored on wild pitch.
 Tamsett was the life of the infield. He ran into short left and captured three difficult flies, while his base running was daring enough to draw the applause of the twelve hundred spectators. He made three-sevenths of the combined hits of the visitors. O'Brien helped to keep the locals score down by two pretty stops in the sixth inning and catch of a foul near the Memphis bench and surrounded by his opponents. Reagan or Clark will be sent in to make 1t three straight to- morrow.
