1ARLTON CLINCHtO GAME
SHANE DING.

Birmingham succeeded in making 1t three straight victories over the Shreve- port Pirates by taking the last game Of the series in a battle in which swan and Sallee worked their arms and heads, with the odds slightly in favor of the local man. It was nip and tuck with a score standing one and one to the eighth inning, when the Barons got next to the benders of the visiting twirler and soaked his curves for enough hits to send three runners over the plate and cinch the game.
 Umpire Pfenninger rendered decision in the eighth trial which caused the Shreveport team to go after his scalp, and the indicator handler was moved over the field faster than he moves some times when watching plays that are be- ing made. The decision was when, with Birmingham runners on first and second he called Cartons drive to right fair The visiting players howled at the an- nouncement of the umpire, freely spoke their opinion and handled his lordship in A rough manner. Pfenninger finally as- serted his authority and benched swan and Evans. two of the chief offenders, and the game was resumed with Fisher and Fritz succeeding the belligerent members.
 sallee pitched a great game, as did Swan. Both men were backed up Tn practically faultless style. The only niscue being Niles drop of thrown ball to catch a runner at second.
 Pirates Started.

Kennedy stole second, and on the hit and run Welkart hit to Niles and Kennedy scored from second, while the captain of the Pirates died at first.
 The locals evened matters in their half After Niles was out. -dontgomery sin- rIed over second and advanced on Smiths out at first. Tarlton hit beauty to left and Monte" registered at Matthewsville." Wagner hit safe to right and Clarke walked, filling the bases It was up to Alcock to do business, put | the ''Kid's" best effort was grounder to third, and Hess got the ball to first ahead of the runner, retiring the side. Both sides were retired in regular order in the second. The Pirates were ciphered in the third. Montgomery started the Barons' half off with drive to right for two bags, but was thrown out at the third corner trying to stretch the hit into a triple. Smith singled to right and was doubled at second a moment later as he tried to steal that bag when Tarl- ton struck out.
 There was no excitement until the sixth when Shreveport had the bases filled with only one down and Hanley up. The big fellow hit hot one to second Niles made a nice stop and threw to the plate, catching Jimmy Smith. The suspense was still great and sighs were heard in the I stands as Hess drove, what apparently was safe one, over second. Niles, by marvellous fielding, stopped the ball and retired a runner at second There was nothing doing in the locals half. though Tarlton and Wagner each secured bin- gle after two were down.
 We'll Earned Victory. l Swan had proven an enigma to the locals with men on bases until the eighth inning. when the Vaughanites found the curves of the little twirler for three runs, winning the game As a starter 1 Niles was passed by the four-ball route,
