Errors Were Costly.

Billie Smith played short in the place of Wagner and for awhile he handled himself we'll but two little errors, for which he Is not to blame. sent two Mont gomerians over the plate and practically cinched the fight. Daddy Vaughan also fell from grace and booted a grounder in the first inning that caused the first score. With all this against them, the awful maulng given Pitcher Carter ought to have won with hands down. The fierce drives came after runners were out and this accounted for the smallness of the score.
 Minahan proved the hero of the game. He was playing right field in place of Billy Smith. who had gone to short and the way he laid against the ball would have made big leaguers tremble. Out of four times up ne laced out rap for home run and later annexed for two bags His home run was one of the pret- tiest drives ever made on the Birming- ham field and his sprinting around the bags was revelation. He whipped the ball directly over third and it cut down the grass all the way to the fence, stop ping near the feet of the great Vulcan advertisement. Before the ball had been felded into the diamond Minnie was dashing in home with his cap in his hand, racing like long distance auto.

Rally in the Ninth.

In the ninth the Barons made a great rally, but the necessary hit after two were out could not be found cid the crowd went away disappointed, out far from sore. Hanley flied out at the start. but Jimmy O'Brien walked and scored on Minahan's two bagger. Clark went out to short, but Duffy hit safe, scoring Minahan. Billy Smith hit safe, sending Duffy to third, and daringly stole second while the pitcher had the ball in his hand. It was then up to Matthews to hit safe, but the best he could do was Il not | grounder to short and out at first. l Tamsett's suspension has expired and I he will play short in todays game. This will materially strengthen the team and should assist in landing a victory. Mnahan will pitch for Birmingham
 and as 1t will be the last time the Barons l will be seen for four weeks the largest
 crowd of the season will probably be
 present. Either Triton or Polchow will
 pitch for Montgomery. Since Tritton's re-
 lease by Birmingham he has been signed
 by Montgomery and should make them a | good man.
 Following is the score of yesterdays 1 game:

Duffy Gets Four Hits.


 Duffy got the batting honors of the day. however, by cutting out four clean hits out of five times up. Hanley was next with a record of three stinging drives out of four swings of the willow. | One of the features of this remarkable game was the daring attempt of Harry | Vaughan to steal home. He had 1t clear | ly stolen but Hanley cracked the ball safe and the steal couldn't count on the score sheet
 Montgomery's first run came in the initial inning when Vaughan booted | Molesworths grounder to first. Moles- worth promptly stole second, was ad vanced on bunt and scored on Schwartzs fly to Duffy.
 1 They annexed two more runs in the | fifth, when lansing got safe on Smiths | tumble Delahanty bunted but in throw ing the ball to first Clark hit Delahanty on the head and the bal bounded to the outfield lansing scored on :he play and Delahanty went to third A grounder scored Delahanty on a fielder's choice. and still there was no hit. Montgomery last two runs came in the seventh on a base on balls and two singles.
 In the last half of the fifth Mnahan brought in Birmingham's first run by hitting to left field fence for a home run. Another was added in he sixth on Vaughans three bagger and iianley's single to left.

Bobby Triton, recently released by Birmingham. has been signed by Mont gomery, and Stickney expects good re- suits. Bobby is a fine pitcher and when he gets control there are few in the busi- ness who can beat him. Personally he is liked by everyone who knows him. He is a gentleman at all times and a good fel- low. The Birmingham fans hope him every success.
