STANDING.


 sallee was like Chinese puzzle for nine innings yesterday, and as the re- suit nine juicy eggs were hung on the score board for the Cellar Champions.
 The long boy had his speed and his choice collection of curves working al will, and his control was perfect. He could shoot the sphere across the rub Der whenever he saw fit and not a single one of the Travellers reached the initial bag by the four-ball route.
 The locals tapped Hutton for. ten safe ties, securing one hit each in six innings and in the other two they negotiated couple of safeties. Three of the hits were for extra bases, Alcock and Niles each securing a ripple and sallee a double.
 Sensational fielding stunts were pulled off by Johnson short stop for the vis- itors, and Anderson, left fielder for the locals.
 Anderson's Catch.
 Anderson's was probably the most sem sational catch of this season, and oe- cured in the Little Rock half of the last inning McCann hit a pop fly into left field that looked good for a single. How ever, Anderson started sprinting for the ball, but he nearly gave up hope of ever getting to it. Finally he took drowning mans chance and threw himself fiat or his face with his hands in front of him. The ball fell in his palms just as he struck the ground and after sliding six or seven feet he got up holding the prize The crowd applauded him warmly.
 Johnson made a one-hand catch or a line drive from Vaughans bat that was nothing short of highway robbery. The ball had every indication of a ripping single and Smith started from second to score on the hit, but he never reached the counting grounds, for he was doubled out at second.
 Had the visitors been able to hit Sallee they could have scored several times In the very first inning Blake led off with a single. Gardner hit fly to Mont gomery who threw wild to first trying to make double play, and Blake reached third on the throw, but there he died Again In the fifth Johnson singled and was advanced to second on an out. He stole third. but was never able to get any closer home.
 The Local Runs.
 Huttoms wildness cost him the first three runs made by the Barons He walked Father Vaughan and then soaked Wagner with the ball Alcock stung a erounder between short and third base which was too hot for Gardner to handle when it reached the outheld, and both runners scored. Alcock went to third and scored on a long fly.
 When Sallee led off in the seventh with clean double between left and center fields, one of the prettiest hit balls at West End since the Barons came home, every one felt that another score was due. Niles slammed the ball down the first base line for three bags and Sallee walked home. Montgomery hit a ground CT to third and was thrown out at first On the throw from third to first, and first to the plate Niles scored.
 The five hits secured by the visitors were well scattered, no two of them coming in the same inning. Sallee struck out eight of the Travellers, using an 'in' with great effect.
