The extra-inning affair of yesterday af-
ternoon, the second of the New Orleans
Birmingham series of baseball games. re-
suited in a score of to l with the deuce
in the hand of the Barons
For thirteen rounds, Gingery Harvey
Clark and Don G." Moxie Manuel ex-
changed punches to the ribs and face. but
when the gong sounded the local man had
the money, in spite of the fact that his
face was bruised, and his body fit for the
porous.
1t was wild day for Ginger Nothing
that he threw would cut the corner, and
when the contest was concluded 1t was
discovered that he had voluntarily opened
the path to the home plate nine separate
and distinct times. The balls that he
managed to get In striking distance more
over, were of that treacherous nature
which made the discovery of their nose
a matter of imposslbility. In the long
game the Pelicans found him but for a
single quartette. Manuel, also pitched a
magnificent game. During the first five
innings he yielded but one hit, and that
was of the veriest scratch variety He
had much better control than did the local
man. and this fact came near bringing to
his brow the laurel wreath of victory.
Perpetual WrangIlng.
For the way that Umpire Buckley con-
Quoted the game he deserves great credit
1t matters not whether he made a few
bad decisions on balls and strikes, or a
few mscus of judgment In other direc-
lions. In Birmingham rowdyism is not
popular. and when Artie Brouthers. who
had conducted himself throughout the
game In an arrogant, and even disrespeet-
full manner, was elected from the park by
two policemen, there were many in the
audience who quietly took off their caps to
the lank official Brouthers called down
the wrath of the spectators when he
tossed bat In the direction of Buckley,
when the umpire declared that the ex-
Connie Mackite had struck out. At his
subsequent times at bat he was roundly
Missed. So when Buckley decided that his
disgusting behavior had gone quite far
enough, and had him escorted from the
park. the delight of the audience was
something immense.
The game was made up with wrangles
As each of the seven Pelicans that Gin
ger" famed returned to the bench, some
words we're hurled at the official. Manuel,
too, caused some trouble when Buckley
thought differently from the pitcher in
the matter of balls and strikes. Jakey Atz,
at one time delayed coming to the bat to
such a length of time that Clark was in
structed to begin pitching. This made Atz
furious. and he was quite impollte in his
language.
Harry Matthews. while not figuring In
the game was ordered from the park,
too, because he loudly referred to the UNI
pire as shadow"

In the opinion of Sporting Life. Lew
Moren of the Eastern league, formerly
a pitcher of the Atlanta team. is the
best twirler in the company with whom
he moves. Lew 1t is remembered, is the
son of an exceedingly wealthy Pittsburg
capitalist. He figured in the role of one
of the Southern's best. and that he Is
succeeding in his new field is a source
of much pleasure to his friends in Dixie.

Schuster will make good as an UNI
pire. Judging from exchanges printed in
those cities where the new member of
the staff has officiated, he will not stand
for profanity, handed out in his direc-
ton, nor in the hearing of the spectators.
Bully for Schuster! He recently elected
Meany and Douglass from a game in
Nashville and fined them, too because
they said some things to him that other
umpires have tolerated.

OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE HOOK AND LADDER COMPANIES IN
THEIR GALLANT WORK OF SAVING At WEST

r the story Of the West hotel fire,
Wednesday,, 10 Jan. TO-, lin which
eleven persons lost their lives,
four were seriously injured and score
of others received minor injuries, and
the lives. Of. 172 guests Of the hotel
were imperiled, the conduct of the
members of the Minneapolis fire de-
partment has figured with great credit
to the men, individually and collec-
lively. 81
The building is practically freproof,
or SLOW burning, and the flames were
subdued without much trouble before
they had caused great damage. The
heat was intense, however, and the
smoke Ystifing, so that the work of
rescuing those in the rooms on the
sixth, seventh and eighth floors was
carried on under the most trying cir
cumstances imaginable, attended with
great peril.
The Hook and Ladder Men.
This work fell to the hook and lad
der men. The longest ladder, eighty
five feet long, reached only to the
sixth story, and at the windows Of the
two stories above could be seen the
figures; Of men and women, while it
was known that there were others in
rooms, overcome by, smoke and unable
to get to windows.
The fremen reached these upper
stories by pompier ladders. These are
simple poles, fourteen feet long, on
which at intervals Of about foot are
fastened. short rounds that afford room
for a foot or a hand. A pompier has
a hook at its end three feet long. A
fireman reaching up to the window
above him hooks to a windowsill and
then climbs up. A second fireman car
rying a pompier follows him, and this
is hooked to the window on the floor
above. Then a third ascends with his
pompier by which another floor, can bt
gained. :. The pompiers weigh about
thirty pounds, and the hundred feet Of
rope that each man carries slung across
shoulder weighs as much more.
Reached Eighth Floor.
1t was in this way that the freme1
reached the seventh and eighth floors
over hundred feet from the ground
from which they lowered men and
women with their ropes or assisted
them down, the pompiers to the sixth
floor, from which the balance of tn
descent could be made by the $500
ladder. Captain Berwin undertook tt
carry Mrs. Barlow down his pompie1
but the weight of her body was to-
great, and he fell.
