The Barons managed to bunch three err
rors in the sixth inning and gave yes
terday's game to Shreveport couple
of dumb plays aided in allowing the Pr
rates to take the third of the series.
Score: Shreveport 3, Birmingham l.
Until the last half or the fifth inning
a prettier game was never witnessed
Neither side made hit or u run up to
that time. In the Barons' end of that in
ming Matthews led off with a single to
right field He was sacrificed to second
and scored when Weillart dropped a ball
thrown to him at first. Moore was safe
at first on the same error fnd went to
second on passed ball. He went to third
on Ragan's out from third to first, but
died there.
Game Was Won.
In the first of the sixth Graffius led off
with single to left He was sacrificed to
second and scored on Evans long fly for
two bags over Hennessy's head The little
center fielder recovered the lall quickly
and threw 1t to Moore who could have
caught Graffius at the plate if he had
thrown the ball Instead he threw it wild
to schppy at second to catch Evans, and
before the ball was run down Evans went
to third. Kennedy hit an infield grounder
and Matthews dropped the ball at the
plate when 1t was thrown to catch Evans.
In the Baron half of that inning, Hem
messy hit safe and stole second. He was
sacrificed to third and slid home on Dele
hanty's infed BALL but Black called him
out, though he was clearly safe
Put Out of Game.
Moore struck out in the eighth on
called strike, He protested that it was too
low and Black put him out of the game
Delehanty going to short Vaughan to first
and Miller to left field. In the ninth Han
ley hit TO center for single, was sacrl-
feed to second, went to thiru on an
out and scored when Vaughan dropped a
ball thrown to him at first. Had Vaughan
held the ball it would have been the
2 to /.
Every error made in the game was ex-
pensive except the one credited to Schippy
and that would have resulted in a run
except for some fast paying between
Matthews and Moore, when kenendy was
caught at the plate trying to score on the
throw to second to catch Haney
Fitzpatrick will probably work for the
Barons this afternoon and Swami for

Drowned in Sewer.

During the heaviest dOwnpour yester-
day afternoon little Bessie Hamper 10
months old, was playing merrily in the
rain on the sidewalk near her father s
grocery. at Division and Gold streets, Bal
timore. A momentl later she lost her bal
ance, slipped on the wet curb and was
struggling in the water N the gutter. She
was rolled over and over in the murky
tide. which rushed in torrents down the
gutter, bearing her with il, and she was
sucked into the gurging, yawning mouth
of an inlet sewer.
Despite the strenuous efforts made by
the police, fire and street cleaning de-
partments no clue to the little girl u
trace of her body or clothing was dis
covered. 1t is supposed that she was
either carried down to Jones's falls Of
that her body was caught in some creyice
in the sewer.
The accident occurred shortly before
6 O'Clock, when the rain was pouring
in torrents, while the street was practi-
cally deserted.
