BY BILL AK.
 The final round of the Memphis Birm- ingham engagement went against the To- calls. and for the first time this season the men of Charlie Babb scored q victory in Slagtown.
 The final score and the batteries follow Memphis 3, Birmingham 2 Bills and Owens. Turner and Garvin.
 When those fans who did not witness the game learn the score, and in learn ing discover the identity of the man who pitched from the Birmingham box, there will be perfect and harmonious chorus of. 'I told you sos."
 However, because Turner was hit hard, he is not directly accountable for the loss of the game.
 The Barons are charged with having made no error. This, however. does noth- ing more than merely indicate that the support was good. In more than one place, however, the support was bad
 The Memphii scored all their runs in one inning. the sixth Pitcher Bills led off with a safe bnnt to the inheld. Manning lined to left Babb sacrificed both men. James flied out to Smith. Then followed hits by Carter and Neighbors, resulting in the three talles.
 From the mere publication of the ahove facts one learns nothing When Babb sae- 2 rlfced, Turner felded the ball perfectly and could have retired Bills at third mad that bag been properly covered. Some one blundered, and Bills safe, al- though Babbs death at first did make the first cut.
 The Barons scored their first run in the first inning. After Molesworth had gone down. Demont was walked. He worked the delayed steal and reached second just as Owens delivery was flying to cen ter. He continued hls course to third. Then Smith hit to center for two bags. That was a peculiar two-base hit. The ball fell just behind second, Texas leaguer territory It was exceedingly high, how ever and Smith continued running.
 The ball fell safe just as Smith neared the keystone.
 In the eighth inning the Barons scored again, and there was a chance to even things up little.
 Bills got trife rattled, there's nothing to it. He walked Molesworth and made wild pitch, passing the centerfeder to second. Demont went out without an ao- vance. Smith then hit beyond the left nelder's head and Molesworth scored. 
 Smith took third on an out Meek was intentionally passed. There was an evil dent mix-up on the signals, for Smith did not attempt to come home when Meek started for second
 owens threw the ball to pitcher. evident ly being glad to donate the keystone to IR1f Efn n Bills threw to second There was q .stall," bluh. a two-step, minuet and Smith started for home. He was knocked put.
 That was another instance of something going wrong. l am not trying to defend Turner. save in those instances wherein It is just to do so,
 He is not the only man blameworthy for losing the game. Others than Bills and the Memphii contributed to the defeat. It might be impossible to point them out, but they exist just the same
 In the same way, the rottenest error In the world Is one that cant be scored-a dumb play.
 Turner was lucky In spite of his lam basting. and defeat
 In the seventh there were three hits in succession, and no score.
 Richards hit safe.
 owens 1ll Sdlt.
 Bills hit safe
 There were none out.
 Manning flied out to left, the catch having been made so close behind third that for Richards to score was impossible. Then Babb hit to Walters and Richards was killed at the plate. Then James stung hungrily to short and Demont forced Babb at second
 The Barons did not field bunts yes terday. Bills thrice bunted safe
