Plantland was made favor ite, at to 2 and Pasadena was the second choice at to in the betting.
 After long delay at the post Starter Holman sent the field away to good start. Pasadena broke first followed by Phil Finch and Mike Sutton. Passing the stand, Phil Finch led by head with Lexoline second and Pasadena third. Rounding the first turn Phil Finch led by a head with Pasadena and Plantland next in order.

COTTON STATES LEAGUE.

Meridian, Miss, June Especial )-Me- ridian again shut out Columbus in an interesting and well played game. The locals made their second run on the 'squeeze" play Both of the locals scores were made in the third inning. Pylant singled to right. Young tried to sacrifice but forced Pylant at second. Taaffe "safetied' to right and Durmeyer hit over second to centerfield, scoring Young, and Taaffe going to third. Roth bunted to the pitcher and TaarTe crossed the plate before the ball was fielded and Roth reached first. Sample fouled to the catcher and Roth was caught trying to steal second. The feature of the game was Roth's fast fielding, accepting ten difficult chances. An unfortunate acci- dent occurred in the first inning. Umpire Fitzsimmons was struck in the groin by n pitched ball and fell to the ground like a log. He was revived in a few minutes and gamely finished out the game. Ace Stewart was on second in today's game. On account of being spiked on Meridians' last visit to Mobile, he had been out of the game for more than two weeks.

Ragan's Support Rotten.

At that the threatening weather kept the crowd down considerably. Although the heavens looked as though they might open at a. ~ time, the only rain that fell during thHtfternoon was a slight shower about the seventh inning of the opening contest, just enough to settle the dust and relieve the players and spectators from the sweltering heat. At the closo of the game there occurred an unfor- tunate incident which can do the game no good Not satisfied with feeling 1ubilant over the double victory, and venting their feelings by means of noise, the moro rowdy element of the crowd showered seat cushions and jeering epithets at the players of the visiting team, and that after they had taken their defeat like men.
 When Umpire Rim announced that the batteries of the first game were to be Eyler and Woods for the Colts and Ragan and Garvin for the Barons, a pitchers battle seemed to be in prospect. And such it might have been had not the visitors early in the game thrown Ragan down shamefully and made anything but a defeat impossible. After retiring the side in order in the first inning, Ragan got 'in badly at the opening of the next round when Miller bingled to left field. Hess sacrificed. Page then drove one at Demont, which the shortstop boot ed, and both runners were safe. Bow cock famed, but Captain Woods was on the job as usual with bingle and Miller and Page scored. Eyler clouted to deep center for three bags and Woods scored.

Heavy Hitting Follows.

This handicap took the pep out of the Barons, and in the next inning Douglass tripled to center after Gilbert had skied to Smith. Alcock then booted Miller's grounder and Douglass scored on suc- cessful "squeeze" play. Two more runs came In the fifth on one hit and a pair of misplays, while clean hitting added the
 last run in the sixth. Thereafter the locals ran wild or the bases and made little attempt to score.
 From a Baron standpoint the game was poorly played extensively and defensively. Eyler was master of the situation at all times, and the three hits which he yield ed came In as many innings. The Bar ons' only real chance to score came in the ninth, when Eyler eased up long enough to walk Demont. He stole second and took third on Meeks grounder 10 short but Walters tapped one at Eyler and the game was won.

Little Rock, June 2.-(Special.) l.)-Taking the second game of the double-header after a game uphill fight and finishing with a whirlwind rush, Little Rock this afternoon made it four straight falls out of Birmingham's champions.
 The first game of the pair was easy. Eyler was absolutely invincible, while Ragan was touched up enough to yield the locals seven runs, aided by wretched fielding by the visitors. The final score was to 0.
 It was the second half of the matinee, however, which furnished the real sport, for after the populace had become re- signed to letting the Barons cop one out of the four games, the Colts upset all call culations and clouted effectively in the last four sessions for exactly the neces- sary number of runs to win the game. 6 to 5.
