STANDING.

E Dessau and the Birmingham team went into the air in the ninth lnr.a'; of yes- terday's farce at West End, and Lew .whistler's ancients walked away with the game. Six hits and three errors netted quintette of tallies and the game went with them.
 Until the fatal ninth the game had been interesting and fairly well played on the part of the Barons, although Dessau had been wild and managed to give Memphis both of the runs which tied the score.
 On the other hand the Memphians be- came stronger as the game advanced and towards the end they developed into the most gingery bunch that has exhibited under Mount Slag in some time past With whoop and yell every member of the team started in to win the game in the ninth, and the contest was sidetracked into a tragedy
 The fans became disgusted and com menced leaving the park. It did not re- auire very long for the crowd to file out, and by the time the Barons had completed their half of the ninth the stands were almost depopulated.
 Had Game Won.
 The Barons had the game won if Des- seau had remained on the earth In the fourth inning the pitcher slammed scorching single to left field which pulled Matty across the plate with the second run of the inning, and 1t looked like the game was cinched. Both pitchers had been working well and if anything Dessau had the best of the bargain
 In that inning Tarlton drew base on balls and was sacrificed to second by Wagner. Matty hit to the infield and the ball was thrown to third to catch Tarlton, but he managed to slide under Peecher and was safe. Matty reached first on the fielders choice and stole sec- ond. Tarlton scored on a long fly to left. and Dessau secured a single which brought Matty home.
 In the fifth Dessau commenced to weaken. He walked Brown and Stockdale, the first two men up Alexander sacrificed and advanced each runner a base. Beecher hit a grounder to Alcock, which he fumbled and Brown scored. Alcock re- covered the ball In time to throw Beecher out at first.
 In the seventh Brown led off with a single. stockdale sacrificed him to second. but Dessau made a bad throw to first and Brown went to third and Stockdale anchored safely at first. Alexander singled and Brown scored
 Fireworks Cana
 In the ninth the fire works occurred happened or took place. The score was a tie and the spectators saw prospects of extra innings but the defeat of the Barons looked certain sooner or later. Dessau was weakening and Stockdale was growing stronger
 Alcock let Sstockdale's bounder get away from him, Alexander sacrificed him to second. Beecher hit short single to left and Smiley Anderson booted the ball, allowing Brown to score. Beeeher went to second on the error Boyd sIn- gled to second, but Beecher was held at third. Dungan hit an iniicid grounder and the ball was thrown 70 Matthews to cStch Beecher. Beecher started back to third and Boyd started rom seeond to third. Matthews threw the ball towards short to get Boyd in ch1se, but Alec ok stood like dumb man and the ball rolled to the outfield. Mattys throw was wild at that, but Alcock might have secured 1t by displaying a little ginger. Beecher scored and Boyd started to third. The ball was thrown to Dessau in time to catch Boyd, but Dessau dropped 1t.
 Whistler and Walters followed with doubles each. and Hulburt and Brown with singles, breaking up the game. Two Memphians attempted to steal third and got out so as not to prolong the game.
