 Whether he used the transportation as far as Memphis and then continued on to New York is unknown. It Is possible, too, that Frank Is hiding him out and wired as he did yesterday, to make his bluff look good.

The renowned pr. Thomas. to whom in daily reverence the fans of dear old Sleepyhollow bend their knees. was easy picking for the Barons of Birmingham yesterday afternoon, and the third and decisive battle was won, the score being l to 0.
 The victory was won in the first inning, when Henline reached first on a boot of Rockenfield, was sacrificed to second by Roy Ellam and driven home by a timely swat for two sacks off the stick of Mc- Gilvray.
 Thereafter there was no scoring, al- though in every inning save one the Bar ons hit safely. But in the majority of instances, Thomas frightened his belt in the pinches and to cross the plate was impossible. On other occasions the Bar ons played poorly on the bases, and on one other a decision of an umpire cut off a number of runs just as they were pre- pairing to rush across the counter.

Robinson was Birminghan's selection, and the young medico was in excellent shape. In the first inning Daley first up, singled to left. In the third Hart beat out scratch hit in front of the plate and Kerwin hit over second. Thereafter no Pretzel was able to put 'em in safe ter ritory. and the Barons advantage, thosgh it was a slight one of a single run, was never seriously threatened.
 Molesworth did splendid work in the outfleld. one of his catches thrilling the big crowd which was gathered. At the stick, too, he was formidable, getting away with a double and a single. Mc- Glvray's hitting was heavy and timely, his first swat being accountable for the lone Baron score. Roy Ellam got few chances, but those he got were difficult, and the manner in which he handled them made plain the reason for the people of Connellsville erecting to his honor a mon ument last season.
