 Memphis. Aug. 9.-(Specia1)-A game in doubt to the last was elivened by regular Queensberry set-to be- tween Pabst and Catcher Clark of the Montgomery team as result of criti- cism heaped on Pabst by Clark when Pabst allowed himself to be doubled up at first base on a line drive to right field. Bleeding noses were received by both while Pabst's eyes were half closed. Umpire Mullane allowed them to finish the game claiming not to have witnessed the trouble. Police arrested Pabst and Clark and forfeits were posted for their appearance in Police Court tomorrow.
 By winning Memphis took the lead in the Southern race. The trouble started at the end of the second in- ing. In their second Pabst had singled and was perched on first when Clark drove liner to Dungan. The Memphis fielder caught the ball and returned 1t to first before Pabst could retreat retiring the side. Clark Is alleged to have hurled several kid
 ding" remarks at his captain before the bat Pabst was heard to remark that he would punch Clark's face when they returned to the bench and after the Memphians had been retired in loked like free for all fight behind the visitors bench. Friends of both players. however, mingled in the trouble trying to separate them. Chief of Police Mason and several patrolmen. finally jumped into the enclosure and pacifled things while Clark and Pabst were ordered to the city prison. On appeal of President Ewing of the local association to allow the players to con- tinue the game and his assurance that he would stand for their forfeits, Chief Mason called off his men and az Null lane vowed he had not seen the trouble the game proceeded It was another hard luck game for the Pretzels to lose. They hit Brown as hard as the Mem phians hit Gardner and had a lead until the seventh. Then Gardner walked Walters and Brown and Downey's single scored Walters making it n twotwo tie. In the eighth Beecher led off with a single. Dungan sac rificed and Laws two-bagger which was lucky enough to hit the left field fair line, scored the winning run.
