Memphis, August 15.-(Speeial)-U )-Untii the tenth inning neither the Memphians nor Coal Barons could count, steal, sacri- flee or make an error. Then the visitors scored the only runs of the game through a combination of daring base running safe smashing and a generally aggressive style of play on the paths that mystihed and rattled Che locals. Score to O.
 It was anybody's game even to the iast' for after Jimmy O'Brien had planted his second two-bagger of the afternoon in a safe spot in right field, sending in runs that really cinched the contest, the Mem phlans set two men on pase. With Wal ters up and with a record of being fond of sending homers to the short left 1eld bleachers the home sympathizers saw vision of a tie, but Streit struck him out and Cannon and Hurlburt sent flies that Duffy and Tamsett took care of.
 Action in the Tenth.
 Most of the action happened in the tenth, opened by Smith flooring a slow one toward third. Brown had to hurry to get it. aud then threw wild to first smith reaching second. Matthews followed by the same sort of smash and Brown tried to cut Smith off at third. Umpire Wood, however, declared the Baron rum ner safe, and had trouble in forcing the Memphlans to continue play. Hennessy flied to Beecher, but Tamsett renewed the assault on Brown, stinging hot one as Matthews was stealing. Brown jug gled just long enough to prevent any pos sibility of killing Matthews at seeond' and when he finally decided to throw the ball he aimed at the plate for smith, but the finish was not even close, and the first run of the game was chronicled- O Brlen followed with his two-bagger which pushed in Matthews and Tamsett.
 Stret pitched his best game of his local career He struck out seven, and in no inning did he allow more than single Tit. Joe Hennessy did much towards pre- venting the locals from scoring in the early innings He caught Beecher's liner in the first and doubled Downey at first. He quickly gathered Beecher's single in the third and nailed his man at second trying to stretch it to double.

 have shut out II teams. New Orleans comes next with record of administer ing the dose to thirteen aggregations. Shreveport has only shut out one team. Memphis happens to be the victim.
 If the Barons continue that winning streak there will be more people in Birmingham to hear the game by tele- graph than there are people to see it in Memphis. Yesterday 300 people saw the game in Memphis and 250 heard it in Slagtown.
 Oscar Streit Is certainly the prime fa- vorite in Birmingham. While he was now ing down the Memph like chaff yester- day his name was being shouted all over the streets of Birmingham. The matinee crowd did more roofing to the square inch than has ever been pulled off around these parts In many moons. People along the street thought political meeting had started up.
 Ginger Clark will 20 in against Mem phs today and threatens to do more to the red elm aggregation than did Mr. Streit. So far Ginger has pitched phe- nominal ball on the road and with any thing like an even break ought to win to- day Clark has allowed fewer hits than any pitcher in the league
 Frank Smith, alias Smltty, the form CT Baron, won his twelfth game for Chicago yesterday by defeating Boston and again putting Chicago in the lead.

It is said that smittys speed Ia go great that his straight ones look like a liver pill as they shoot across the Hate.
 So far the Barons have won out of games on the present trip The Barons bid fair to break all records on the west ern circuit An even break in the rest of the contests will give the desired result. Jyp to this time not a Birmingham team in the history of the league has won a majority of games on the western cir cult

GRIM WAS WHERE.

Philadelphia, Oct 1.--IIarry Temple, the negro middleweight, late of the Tom O'Rourle forces, last night ats tempted the task of knocking out Joe Grim, the man with the iron jaw. Like Bob Fitzsimmons, Jack 0'Brien, Kid Garter and others too numerous to mention. Temple failed. But he has the satisfaction of knowing that he came nearer turning the trick than any man who has heretofore attempted 1t. Tn the fourth round he had Grim cut and bleeding and all but gone when the bell came to the rescue of the Italian champion. It was Tenn ple's first appearance here in long while. and the Manhattan A. O. arena was crowded with ring followers who expected to see the son of Ham send the Italian to dreamland. Grim ar rived home from a trip to the west just in time to get to the club house and appeared to be In fairly good condi, tinn

IT WAS A DRAW.

Baltimore. Oct I.--Dave Holly of Philadelphia and sam I4angfOrd of Boston fought fifteen rounds to draw before the Eureka A. c. last night. Referee O'Hara might have strained a point and given the decision to Lang ford, but the decision was received with cheers of approval by the big crowd of spectators. When 1t was all over, Langford was without a mark, although he stopped number of stiff wallops with his head. and got a good humping on the kidneys. Holly, how ever, was bleeding at the nose from the fifth round on, and his left eye was oomp pietely closed from the tenth round. Langford showed lp as fine sparrer, and fighter, too, while Holly drew misses from the crowd several times on account of his covering up tactics. He showed as an inhghter of the Young Peter Jackson style, which did not please as well as Langford's
 more showy ways. Langford kept jabbing his left into Holly's face until in the fifth round he had the Phila- delphian's nose bleeding and his left eye beginning to puff up. He contin- ued this to the end, and every round made Holly's face worse. Holly con- tented himself with covering when he could and then boring in and lighting like wildcat until Referee Ottara tore the men apart. Holly swung his right numberless times, but LAngfor0 safely sidestepped nearly every at- tempt at knockout until the final, rounds. when neither man seemed strong enough to- land knockout.

GAMEs ON To.nAY.

In the football games scheduled for to-day, is Harvard vs Williams. This will be Harvardts first game this year, and as the outlook at Cambridge is probably the brightest of any college, Crimson's work will be watched close ly. Yale tackles rather easy, opposi- tf0n In Trinity, and is likely to have out stronger team than faced Wes- leyan last Wednesday. Wesleyan will be ColumMa's opponent to-day, and her score against the Methodists will come in for the inevitable comparison with Yale's % to 0 against Wesleyan, though the scores in themselves mean little as comparisons. Interesting games are promised at Princeton, where the unawed Georgetown men will play, and at Philadelphia, where the lively virginians will lock horns
