 Montgomery. July 6-tspecal. e Mont gomery turned the tables on the Coal Barons this afternoon and won out in a slow and uninteresting game The final score was four to one and the Vaughan ties had the small end. Hale and Gin ger" Clarke were the opposing pitchers. Hale was in great form. He allowed only four hits and two of these were of the very scratchicst kind, gave two bases on balls and struck out nine men.
 In the fourth inning Hennessy led off with a safe bingle to third. Hale then performed the great feat of striking out Delehanty and Smith, and after Mat thews had walked and Hennessy had stolen second and third. he famed Schiap. Ginger Clarke also pitched a good game and only allowed four hits no two of them coming in the same inning. Ginger duplicated Hales feat in the seventh when Millerick, Hale and Lynch were famed in succession.
 Scores on Errors.
 Montgomerys scores were the result of bases on balls and errors. A fast double play in the sixth inning was made by the visitors when with Molesworth on second, Lawler hit one just over sec ond base, which Moore got in time to get Molesworth at second and throw Lawler out at first
 Birmingham scored its only run in the first when Hafford hit to short and was safe on Oldring's error. Miller forced Hafford at second on an attempted sac rifice, but was safe first Hennessy was walked and on the next ball Miller and Hennessy worked the double steal. Mllerok threw wild to third and Miller scored while Hennessy went to third The Barons had several chances to score but the necessary hit was not forth coming.
 Montgomery Scores.
 Montgomery scored in the first after Lynch and Oldring were out. Schwartz walked and stole second, and scored on Brouthers' bingle to left. The second run was made in the next inning when Lawler was walked and went to third on Null laney's safe one by second and scored on Lynch's fly to Hennessy. The next score came in the fourth when Lawler hit safe by first and went to third on Matthews wild throw to second and scored on Millericks fly to Hennessy. The last run came in the eighth when Old ring was given life at first on Miller's error and was advanced to second on a sacrifice. He scored on Brouthers' safe one to left Carlos Smith strained his side in the sixth and Wilke Clark was 1 sent to right. Dessau and Lee will be 1 opposed to one another tomorrow BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. l Montgomery, July GA wild throw to third today gave Birmingham her only score.
