 John Malarky went in yesterday, pitched his game against Birmingham and won 1t. Houtz broke it up in the seventh Inning and left the final score to In favor of Montgomery Maiarky pitched a great game of ball, outpitehing Sallee easily While but two hits were made off the elon, gated Birmingham twirler, his control was poor: He gave six bases on balls, two In the first inning, and both SCOT ing, and two in the eighth, one of them scoring.
 Of the four hits made off Malaska in only one inning did they come close enough together to do any damage. This was in the second inning when Birmingham scored the only runs. and even then it is possible that there would not have been run except for couple of blunders Malarky had splendid control. one each in the fourth and eighth innings, striking out three
 The two hits made by the Climbers were both two baggers and both drives scored two men each time.
 Both teams played great ball. one error being made on each s.de. Houtz missing difficult catch and Oyler mak- ing bad throw. Both misplays helped in the runs, though Oyler's was the more expensive and inexcusable.
 The feature of the game wss a won ferful catch by Houtz of Sallee's fly in the eighth inning. hit that looked to have all the earmarks of home run. H ffOutZ got II T1Snt against IHe right field fence crashing in it and knocking out one of the panels He received an ovation when he came in after the inning. and Goffed his cap game. having five putouts in right field and his pinch two~bagger winning the game.
 Another distinctive feature was stop made by Kid Busch in the fourth in ming. With two out and man on sec. ond. Vaughn hit one that Perry could not even get within striking distance of. With lightning movement Busch hurled himself in front of the ball, knocking down what looked like long left field drive. By this time the run ner had rounded third and was sprint bali to McAfeese in ut time SG to 1no eut him 'nn off at the plate. He also played 2 neat game with four chances perfectly accepted. In fact the entire team not not been for saliee's wiidness. the result would have been problematical.
 :, Another feature of the game came in the seventh ming; When. after two for the plate. Mullaney was on the third base coaching line and as the pitcher dashed up and was starting to the. waist and literally hurled him back on third. The big manager was taking no chances. His whole heart and soul were in the game, and from lAc lISt iIutHE tO lHt nInIH ne WOIhcu logical result followed
 Buckley was badly off on his balls and strikes decisions and umpired the worst game that he has since coming to Montgomery. He was pretty hard on Malarky and at the same time struck some of the Climbers out wher it was plainly ball instead of strike.
 Molesworth. Gear and Montgomery. were down in the first On flies to Nob- lett. Apperious and H9utz.
 In the last half sallee began the walking Houtz and Noblett, Schwartz advancing them both cn an infield hit. Apperious struck out but Munaney punched out two bagger to left and both of them scored. Perry ending it with fly to Molesworth,
 smith was out on hit to Schwartz HoutZ dropped Oyler's fly. Mathews hit one that Schwartz got. but instead of. throwing Oyler out at second, as he had lots of time to do, he threw the man out at first: It proved fa- tai mistake for Vaughn hit safe and Walters and Oyler scored. whereas Oylor should have been out.
 Busch walked in the last half. Me Aleese struck, out trying to bunt,. Ma larky walked. but Houtz struck out and Noblett was out on a hit to Oyler.
 Moleswcrth was out on a fly. to. over second and stole second. but Houtz got Montgomery's fly and Schwartz got Smiths hit.
 It was one, two. three, with the in the last half
 In the fourth Malarky gave his first base on balls and but for the great work of Busch, 1t would have scored. Walters the first man up. walked and was sacrificed by Oyler. Mathews was out on a fly to Apperious. but Vaughn hit one that had all the trademarks of a long drive to left. Busch managed to get it and threw Mathews out at the plate, saving the run.
 It was one. two, three again in the last half. and the same thing in both halves of the fifth, Malarky and Sallee beth striking out a man in the fifth.
