Humorous Side of Victory;
 Whaf Made fhe Fans Laugh

Jagged behind the Baron. This was prob ably due to the fact that Smith had the inside track When Smith stopped at third Fox was man again, and without even smiling at his boyish prank returned to his corner of the diamond.
 Then again the fans smiled when AL cock presented one of the most amusing tableaux that has been shown this sea- son. Towards the shank of the game he stung the ball exactly on the nose. It rang true. A1cock started to first like a shot from a cannon. Then he stopped suddenly, like horse jerked to his launches. Becker was playing exception ally close in, and the drive was taken cas- fly. Alcocl was so startled that he stood still. surprised for two minutes and thir- teen seconds. The fans roared at the lads discomforture, and Alcock finally smiled a little himself.

Serious Disturbance In Odessa.

Odessa, April s1S.-Serious disturbances have again broken out in this city. Yes terday several members of the union of Russian people attacked workmen along the harbor front. who refused to join the union, killing two and wounding five of them No arrests were made. The work men at once retaliated by going on strike, demanding that the members of the union be disarmed. The authorities, however. declined to grant this demand. Today the railroad laborers joined in the strike, with the result that the harbor is entirely closed and all exporting is at a standstill. The situation is causing immense losses to trade

of the fight without warming up, but the Crackers failed to find him when a hit meant run save in a single round.
 True. the piling up of the big score is at tributable to rather ragged fielding on the part of Atlantas gardeners In the first inning, Becker, in right, in fielding the ball towards third, threw it headlong into the bleachers, letting in two runs. Then again in the third inning. with the bases full, Molesworth smashed the ball on the nose to centertield, and Winters mlsiudged it. In this way Molesworth went for three bases, mad three Barons scampered home.
 The fielding of the Barons was excel lent. The game might be scored an err rorrless one. Alcock is charged with a miscue in handling hot one from Count Castro, but so fast was the ball that 1t might be correctly scored hit. The Ba- rons, too, were filled to the brim with ginger" There was noise in the field. The Barons played the sacrifice game to perfection, and in spite of the fact that no bases were stolen the locals acquitted themselves as jam up as one could de- sire.
 Right on the Jump.
 The Barons got busy right at the jump. Molesworth rapped one to center, which Winters got after great effort. Smith hit safe to right center and Gardner, fol- lowing, smashed one to right with notice- able ease. Attempting to cut Smith off at third, Becker threw the sphere Into the bleachers, an error which opened the home gate to both runners.
 Clark started off in an unusual man. ner. He placed the ball in Winters slats and followed it up by pinlng Becker. He famed O'Leary, however, and Dyer and Hoffman went out easily. In the sec ond inning. Rowan worked out of very ugly hole, into which he had got him self He passed two men and an error by Dyer gave Gardner life filling the bags. There were two out however. when Mont gomery came to the stick. He famed. after there were two strikes and three balls In the third, however. the Barons aaded three tallies and cinched the game beyond redemption. With one down Lis ter was walked Garvn hit safe to cen ter. Walters flied out but the bases were filled when Clark was hit by a pitche ball. Molesworth. next up, smashed the ball for three sacks through centerfield, and for the first time this season in Br- mingham the bases were cleared.
 Wilhelm and Ford.
 Clarks arm was injured by the blow that he had received, and Wilhelm sup planted him at the beginning of the fourth.
 In the fifth inning the Barons got two more runs. Garvin hit safe to left and Paskers let it go for three bags. Wal ters followed with one of the juiciest

PITTSBURG. Oct 4.-Why did the

Yes. why did he? Especially, after ne

1t all happened on the South Side in

"Stockings!" he yelled.
Cooler heads prevailed and the inves-

man had used for pillow.

that the policeman who made the arrest
