By BILL AK.
 "David'' Robinson met "Goliah" Savldge yesterday afternoon, and the giant fell to earth with hole in his head.
 The Memphii were shut out, to 0.
 Robinson pitched another remarkable same, holding the hard hitting visitors to three hits-one a double, and the others scratches to the infield
 He fieIded his position in excellent style, and at the stick sneaked in two hits, one clean cut single over third and the other n bunt to the inhed and, topping au scored the first Baron run.
 In addition he received remarkable sup port Jack Manning, in the beginning talk ing fly off the bat of Catcher Owens that looked good for three sacks. Towards the conclusion of the game Downey robbed Carey out of hit by but of star fielding, and several times Manager Moles- worths splendid maneuvering pulled the young. twirler out of precarious situations On the other hand Savidge performed better than the average. and would proo- ably have won his game had his team mates been able to find Robinson to any extent.
 All in all, the game was a fine exhibi- ton of baseball, and marked contrast to the two that preceded the defeat of the Memphii on yesterday.
 About 5000 fans saw the battle, and the bunch was as enthusiastic as if the Barons were In the first division fighting for the rag of battle
 The afternoon was hot and saltry, and the fast gathering clouds indicated the rain that held up until after Robinson had Completed his victory.
 When MT. FitZsimmons announced the batteries Robinson's name was greeted with a generous round of applause, for the faithful and successful service he has rendered has endeared him to fandom. When, in the first inning, both sides were retired without putting foot on the initial corner everyone predicted close and eX- citing game Robinson, it was known would yield the battle only after bitter struggle, and Savidge was dishing over the pan choice selection of surves ana fast ones.
 In the second however, the local at mosphere took on an underlining of blue, for that genial Irishman, O'Leary, tapped one of Mack's blenders to center field fence. Fast fielding by Henline, however pared the hit off all extra bases beyond a double.
 Carey and Donahue smade easy outs from Robinson to Douglass, and when Owens came to bat, OLeary was confi- dently perched on the third corner.
 And that was sa wallop that Owens smashed out.
 As Manning ran for the flying sphere all fandom held it's breath, for the race was close, and much depended on the success of the runner
 And then the spectators masse arose rc their feet gor all the clouds had clear ed away when Manning checked himself with the ball in his outstretched hands! And thus the Memphii were robbed of run, and right then the Barons deter mined to win or die.
 But in the second, the Barons could do nothing, although Douglass on walk and sacrifice, found himself at second. But In the third Robinson himself cir cled the bases, and scored run that might have won the game.
 He came to bat after Walters had fan ned. He touched the first one thrown over the plate, and 1t cleared Baerwald's head, floated gracefully and slowly.
 Manning following, smashed one keenly over third and both runners advanced on Demonts out from Cranston to Carey. Then Owens failed to put his body in the way of one of Savidges fast ones, and it flew to the back fence Robinson tallied. Molesworth retired the side on a strike out.
 From that point until the eighth, in which inning the Barons again scored, the game was runless.
 The Barons had several opportunities. In the fifth, with two out, Robinson beat out bunt to the infield, and Man hing was walked.
 In the sixth, Molesworth led off with a single, was sacrificed to second, reached third on Meek's out and died there.
 In the seventh, Henline opened with a double, and Walters put him to third. When Robinson hit to pitcher, however, Henline managf to squeeze into chase, and went out.
