Memphis, July 7-McCain Robinson, Birminghams phenomenal college twirler. who has won a bigger percentage of his Southern league, defeated Memphis this afternoon by a score of to 4.
 Until the seventh the locals had failed to make the circuit, and only four hits had been yielded. three of these falling to Manager Babb. In the seventh, how ever. errors by Demont and Downey Cscored as hits by the local scorer) filled the bases. and run was counted on a fy-out sacrifice.
 Robinson was evidently trying to land another shut-out, for after the Memphii scored he "let up" perceptibly and in the eighth ming the locals made the circuit three times.
 But throughout the game Robinson had the Memphis hitters on his hip and his sailing was exceedingly easy.
 By winning this afternoon the Barons take the series. that is the scheduled series. As a postponed game will be played tomorrow, however, and as Shields, a left-hander. will face McNeal. Manager Babb is very hopeful of ''eyen- ing up" after all.
 The Barons have played in fine shape since arriving in Memphis. and many local fans believe with Manager Moles- worth that Birmingham will not be found in the hole when the season is eonr cluded
 A magnificent running catch by Henline was the one bright feature of today 8 game, though the hitting of Manager Babb and of several of the Barons de- serves complimentary notice. Garrity started the afternoons frolic for the locals, but was beaten from the box In the fifth inning. schwenck, who fol- lowed, fared no better and it was later in the game when the Barons, scoring four runs in one inning, cinched the af- faix
