the game and called it out in detaI->
There We're several surprises in
that game, chief one of which Was the
fact that Harry Clayton Knocked q
home run t.. left field and this run
really wen the game. Another sur.
prise was the pitching of both Nickens
and Lucid. These pitchers, between
them. disposed of twenty-five men
Nickens struck out twelve and Lucid
struck out ten. 1t might be called a
pitchers battle although each sid
made enough earned runs to win. Da-
Wis umpired the game.
Pine Bluff was again the first to
score. In the fist inning the first
three men were struck e,ltt. In the
second Murphy hit to left center fer
three bases. Lauzon hit down the
first base line for an attempted sacri'
fee, but Murphy was held at third.

hing hit to center for two bases and
Martin scored. Kennedy and Strader
We're easy suits, Strader doing the
star stunt Of striking cut.
In the fourth, the Lumbermen get
their second run of the game. Lau-
zon hit to left for two sacks. Blue
singled to center and Big Ed took
third. Blue went to second moment
later en- a passed ball. On which Lau-
zon scored. Reed, Clayton and Lucid
j went down in the order named and the
manager of the Lumbermen was left
on second calling for a hit. Two hits
in the fifth were fruitless for nct a
man in blue could circle the bases.
In the sixth, there were several
caess of heart disease among the
home crowd Blue and Reed were
again easy outs. Clayton came to the
bat and after two balls and one srike
had been called on him. the ticker was
silent for some time The crowd was
almost sure that Clayton had been put
cut and the sides were changing po-
sitions But when the ticker sounded
again it was home run to left field.
The hat was passed. This put the To-
Gals two runs to the good, but both
were needed before the end of the
game.
In the last half of the ninth the Coz
ten Pickers made rally and a strong
bid for the game but there was also
something doing in the eighth. After
Nickens had struck out, Martin came
to the bat and after one strike had
been called on him he made protest
claiming that the wrong ball was in
play The umpire told him to play
ball and when he would not hit at
them, called him out on strikes. It

Rothermel gave notice that he would
protest the game. If Whealey sus-

Monte Carlo. September s.-We spent many pleasant days in Berlin, the charm ing home of the kaiser, and one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. At least it seemed so to us. for relatives and friends there made us feel less like stran- gers in a strange land. Then on to Dres- den, now most famous as the happy pos- sessor of the "sistine Madonna" In Nuremberg
 Quaint old town of toll and traffic,
 Quaint old town of art and song;
 Memories haunt thy painted gables.
 Like the rocks that round them
 throng,"
 we found one of the most interesting cities. It was one of the chief cities of Bavaria during the war periods of the middle ages, when Bavaria was the scene of the fearful conflicts of the thirty years war. There are many memorials found here connected with Gustavus Adolphus and Wallensteln. But chief interest cen-
 ters around the scenes made famous by | the cobbler poet, Hans Sach, the won-
 derful German painter of the early years.
 Albrecht Duer and his patron, Maximil- | ian, familiarly known as "Kalser Max
 Here one seems to plunge Into the very
 spirit of the middle ages with all it's cru city and violence of feeling. For the in- struments of torture found in the for tress tower that were once used on polit- ical and religious prisoners cannot be exceeded in their terrible effects by those used by Spain during the Spanish in- quisition.
 In ia quaint little tavern where Hans Sach and Albrecht Durer and Adam Kraft used to meet together for beer and frierdly gossip. We had the most delicious little sausages, kraut and beer that have long since made the haunt equally famous. It is just such place as the Cheshire cheese in London which Americans hunt out With so much grat- ifcation, thereby feeling in friendly com munlon with Dr. Johnson.
 Then came Munich. one Of the largest and most influential of all German cities. A special festival of Wagner's operas was being held with almost impossible prices. | The art galleries, too. of Munich are most interesting but what will friends at home say when we tell them that nero we enjoyed most of all the German beer | gardens Do not lift your eyebrows in quick surprise-for until you have ex- perienced the genuine article can you pos- sIbly understand how thoroughly fasci- rating they are. I remember hearing one of Birmingham's foremost lawyers say that he did not care for the German cities or their ways. But two evenings spent at the Lowenbrau in Munich left it's spell upon him and he, with the rest of us declared that for genuine pleasure stein of 'Munchener" and the sweet strains of Wagner in some green. cool garden are irresistible. Fo- the Germans love all that is green and akin to nature and always place their tables and cafes,
 when possible, amid green vines and under trees in the open air.
 From here several of the party made the trip to Chiemsee, the famous palace of the mad king Ludwig. Of course they made the others who did not go believe they had missed the finest sight In Eu- rope. But as some one has said, 1t takes king to build such a palace and a crazy one at that A million dollars spent

With their pennant inspirations real ized the Memphis club lost their ginger and the Barons ran away with the game before the crowd had gotten settled for the fight and after the first inning the result of the final contest of 1904 was nev- CT in the slightest doubt. The Barons simply had things their own way from the start and poor old Stockdale was pounded into pulp while the game was yet young.
 Birmingham 10, Memphis B.
 This morning Slagtown presents de- serted appearance and no more will the wild eyed and leather league rooters assemble until the daisies begin to bloom in the spring Birmingham won the first and the last game of the season and Duffy was the first man up in the first game and the last man up in the last. So the season began and so 1t ended.
 Six months ago 5000 people assembled on slagtown green to greet the new Bar ons and fully 2000 of that number expected a pennant winning club. They started we'll and ended better but things went to pieces in mid-season and thus were pennant aspirations smashed.
 Remarkable Record.
 Towards the close of the season the Barons made the most remarkable record ever chronicled in the Southern league. They won something like thirty-nine games out of fifty and to Manager Vaughan is largely due the credit of landing in the first division. This is the first time since the organization of the league four years ago that Birmingham has finished among the top notchers. Birmingham has reason to feel proud of her record and has every reason to feel hopeful of even better things next season. So be it.
 To return to that game of yesterday it is sufficient to say that Birmingham won. It is necessary, however to give the Lnfortunates who were not present an idea of now it was done. The Barons simply lit on to MT. Stockdale with broadside of six pounders and the runs came over in clusters Memphis never had a chance and young Pylant has the credit of winning the last game of the year. He did nice work and not for a moment did he let an opportunity to cut down a pennant winner escape.
 How It Happened.
 The fun opened up in the first inning when after Duffy was out Lynch hit safe. He promptly stole second and Ward, who was playing in Vaughan's place on first, walked. Lynch then tried to steal third but was thrown out by Dunlap. Tam sett and OBrien then walked and the bags were full. Hennessey very promptly and with lpalice aforethought smashed a sizzling grass-cutter between first and second and cleaned the bags as If by magic. With these three runs to the good the Barons kept up their terrific clouting of the official package and the other runs are too numerous to go into details.
 Nobody played any particularly spec tacular ball but worked as if it was the first game of the season and trotted away with the goods at their own sweet will.
 There will be no more games at Slag- town and last night many of the players left for their homes to make arrange ments to hibernate during the coming cold weather. This morning the rest of them will start on the homeward j5ur- ney.
 Tho score follows:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-09-25

Whereas the Louisville and Nashville's have played eighteen games won fifteen and lost three, making their percentage only S33. The three lost by the Louis vile and Nashville team were two to Pell City and one to f5essemer. MT. Barnes claims "you could not call these defeats as the Louisville and Nashville team did not play, the team being com posed of picked-up, players" This strikes us as a pretty poor excuse as they all wore Louisville and Nashville uniforms and played under the Louisville and Nashville name.
