The Barons played the White Sox 10 u standstill yesterday afternoon in an eleven-inning game. Score, to 5 The two teams play again this afternoon.
 Even with big Frank "smitty" in the box, the Barons playing with patched up team, Comiskey's team was not able to get away with anything better than a standoff.
 ending of the game Murdock broke it up with a home run against left field fence with Hennessy on first. Reagan and Ginger Clark kept the IA safeties of the White sox pretty well divided among the various innings.
 The Barons went into the game with a patched up team. Hafford was out on account of sickness and Schiappacasse went to third, Moore to short and Dessau to second, with Wagner In the outfield. But at that the boys played a better field ing game than the visitors, as is shown by the box score.
 Old Father Vaughan alone secured 16 put-outs, and Matthews got behind the bat, some strike-outs and some hard chances on fouls and infield flies.
 "Ginger" In Box. ..
 Both teams got away from the post in the first inning. Chicago landed on Rea- gan for four hits and two runs in the initial time at the bat, and it looked gloomy. Holmes, the first man up, got a safety, and for the next five times that he faced the pitcher he repeated the per- formance, getting a batting average in yesterdays game of 1000. Two of the hits were of the scratchy variety, but nothing short of fast fielding would have caught him at first. Jones, Greene. Callahan and Tannehill followed Holmes with hits, Holmes and Jones scoring.
 After Schlap was out, Hennessy drew a safety when the Barons went to bat, and Murdock laid up against one of Smitty's choice benders, and when the ball stopped 1t was under the gate in left field. Hen messy scored and Murdock, by his fieetness of foot, circled the bases. It was a beau tful line drive down third base line, and thruck on the foul line. Umpire Burke called it a safety, although Chicago kicked.
 Both Teams Scored.
 The Barons took the lead in the second inning, when Matty scored by nothing short of daring base-running. He was given a walk to first by Smitty for old times sake and immediately stole sec ond. He went to third on a past ball and scored on Davis error of Hennessy's ball.
 The score was tied in the fourth by Dundon. He was safe at first on Mur- docks pardonable error of fly to left. Sullivans out and Holmes second two- bagger to center. The score was not tied long, In the sixth Dundon was the first up and hit safe to right. He stole seo- ond without waiting, and smitty hit for two bags to the same garden, scoring him. In turn Smitty scored on Holmes fourth safety.
 Birmingham got even, however, for in the last half of that same inning Wagner laced a beauty to left for two bags and went to third on Callahan's error of a thrown ball at first, which also allowed Matthews to anchor safely. Moore's hit to left scored Wagner and Matty went to second. Reagan sacrificed him to third and he scored on Schiaps fly to center This score was another result of Matty's daring running for 1t looked hopeless for him to come in from third on the throw. as the ball went to shallow center.
