BY. HARLAN r. M,DANlEL.

Memphis, June I.-(Special )-McCain Robinson tossed the Turtles a tie this afternoon after the Barons had won it in the twelfth but no blame should be wended Robinsonward for the Tulane medical student really pitched a remark able game. Such twirling as he exhlb tied wins 9s out of every 100 contests and scarcely one whit behind was Ed Keiber, Babbs flying Dutchman who worked out of tight holes for the Il in- nings, only to meet disaster when least expected in the twelfth Final score 1 to l.
 It was a crippled lineup presented by Turtle Boss Babb, Carey being out again, as was Wagner OLeary worked at first and ex-Baron Morris was in center The Turtles gave very different exhibi- tion from that of the day before. Hard chances seemed easy and Coulson and Babb knocked down many a hit.
 Robinson worked in record form for six innings, only IS men facing him in that time. In the sixth Morris was safe on his grounder to Gygli but was doubled, Rob- inson to Ellam to Gygli, on Hurlburts attempt to sacrifice. Meantime Keiber. though not so steady, was setting
 
 cinch to retire the first three. In the second Umpire Moran missed a third strike and McGilvray got a base sec ond later. He was forced by Gygli and Henline forced Gygli. Noah tried to steal but Hurlburt winged him to an easy death.
 Again in the third Keiber passed the first man up. This was Kane. Bowen's effort to sacrifice was a tip to Keiber who started a pretty double play and Robinson was easy. For the third straight Keiber passed the first man to face him. Ellam was the recipient and it came in the fourth. A signal "mfxup" killed that chance as Ellam tried to go down and Moley made no effort to strike the ball which split the pan Ellam was an easy out. In the fifth the real oppor- tunity came After McGilvray's death, Gygli doubled up the left field hill. Hen line poked a single past short but Coul- sons fast return forced Gygli to hustle back to third. Then Coulson made a beautiful running catch of Kane's long foul to left field. Gygl hunched on his umpire's five feet before the pill was caught, but at that, Coulson begged him to an easy death at the plate. It was three up and three down in the sixth. And thus in six innings only IS Turtles faced Robinson and only IS Barons stepped to the pan against Keiber. The Barons were down in order in the seventh. Baer- wald was safe on Ellams boot but the other three Turtles were easy.
 Gygli opened the eighth with a single, was put down by Henline, but Kane whiffed and Bowen could not punch past Babb, though 1t was a slashing grounder For the home guard in this session Vince Ter singled, got to second while Raftis was fiagging O'Leary on the hit and run. He stayed there while Morris whiffed Hurlburt walked and Keiber was thrown by Robinson. Again opportunity knocked for the Barons in the ninth and only the prettiest pitching imaginable by Keiber

Lampkin and Belcher represent the h. dependent Tennis club of East Lake and a challenge Is open for all amateur teams. saved the day for the locals. Robinson started with a beautiful liner past short. Ellam dropped a sacrifice bunt and Keiber heaved to second to head off Mccain. Keiber's heave was meant for second, but it went to center and Robinson got to third With none down, man on third and Moley upl Local rooters despaired. But not so the Dutchman. He fooled Moley into tapping him a grounder and Robin son was held at third while the manager was being tossed out Then Bill Raftis bit at an outcurve for a third strike and business picked up. It grew into an ovation when Gygli tapped to Keiber for a third out after McGilvray had been passed
 In Memphis half Babb singled, but died stealing.
 Henline scratched a hit to open the tenth. He tried to steal and was called out
 Kane kicked so hard he was elected and RauD replaced nln. RduD was easy and so was Bowen. The Turtles died in order.
 Both teams were harmless in the elev- enth and the big noise came in the twelfth Raftis died an easy death. Me Gilvray lined a single to right, the ball just grazing Cranston's paw. Gygli planted the wagon tongue against the feathers solar plexus. Morris stumbled going after 1t and by the time Baerwald finished relaying Mack had planted his trilbies over the counter and Gygli was on third Then he was anchored for he feared to take a chance on Coulson's wing when Henline flied to left. Raub flied out to second
 The Turtles were desperate. Baerwald got a pass signal worked perfectly and the "cat' was almost to second when Babb dropped a bunt. He rounded, sec ond as Robinson heaved to first, Bowen covering, let the ball get by and Bear cat" scored, Babb going to second. He was sacrificed to third, but was run down at the plate when Wheeler tipped to Robinson. OLeary furnished the third death.
 The game was then called on account <-4 1rrI
