Montgomery July 2.-(SpeciaL)-In a game which was marked by the large number of hits for extra bases and which was devoid of brilliant plays, the Legis- lators won the second game this after noon from Birmingham by a score of 10 to :.
 Wilhelm. who was sent in by Vaughn, was taken out in the first inning after three hits and two runs had been made, and Ragan was sent to the slaughter pile to take his place. He was hammered pretty heavy as was Walsh.
 Zimmer put Vaughn off the grounds for saying something which those in the press box did not hear when he called the third strike on Latimer in the fourth inning.
 With Perry making d home run to deep center, Molesworth, Houtz, Henlin Smith and Walters hitting for three bags, and Baxter, Seabaugh and Ragan plugging out two baggers, the game was somewhat exciting.
 Because of being hit on the ankle by d ball yesterday Meek was out of the game and Latimer covered the initial sack. doing we'll
 Every man on Montgomery's team con- nected with the ball with the exception of Walsh, and all the Birmingham play CTS with the exception of Demont Lat inner and Garvin managed to swat the ball to safe points.

 Parr expects to show Yager a few tricks if he employs the strangle hold, as he says he will be able to break it. Parr, in the first place. says he has no fear that Yager will secure the hold, as he will be on the lookout for it.
 The leg holds will predominate in the match, no doubt, as both men are very efficient along the line. Both are clever at trick plays with the legs. The match will be straight catch -as-catch- and will be held at the Hippodrome skating rink. The advance sale of seats indi- cates a large attendance.
