BY BILL AK.

The victory of Master Herbert Juul, late of the University of Rah Rah, over Senor Moxie Manuel late of Mexico and the camp of the White SoX, was of an eye lash margin, for it is true that the most amateurish performances are often SD terminated.
 The Barons and the Sleepers appeared fin roles of Gaston and Alphonse, so anX- ious was the other, it seemed, for his op- 4onent to win. But at this manly art the Barons had them stood off the board, and Montgomery. to Montgomery's regret got the decision. to ?.
 Manuel violated all the laws of pitching save that he did refuse to hit man whose lodging was clever and oecllneo to throw wildly. But he walked enough 10 fill a town the size of Sleepyville, and after throwing wildly to first to retire a runner. clapped the climax by baking. And Juul. later on in the game, hit couple of men in succession, and walked three others. But the Barons had pulleo off. in the meantime, one or more un- tanned plays and the rare opportunity to break the manly heart of the timld ran rah lad went glimmering-where so hlahy others have gone, incidentally
 The Listless Excitement.
 In the second inning Manuel walked three and made his error. As a result two Sleepers were forced across the pan' although neither appeared willing to take the necessary exercise. In the second in- ming a couple of hits and saerihce sent another across. In the sixth. Rockenfeld scored. He singled, went to third on Gremingers out-Ellam dropping perfect peg by Gygli-and tallied when Pope flied out to Molesworth.
 The Barons got busy in the eighth. Me- Gilvray and Ellam were hit by Juul as openers, and the former scored when Manuel cut loose a double to left lien lines walk filled the bases, and Ellam scored when Bowen flied out to Persons. Persons heaved the ball to first because Henline was playing off, and Manuel made a sad mistake by starting too late to third He went out, this probably de- ciding the game. Molesworth and Raftls then were walked in succession, and Greminger shooed gay Herbert from the coep From the bench he witnessed the spectacle of Thomas endeavoring to out wit Frank Gygli. There were three Daus and no strikes on the batsman. Then there were two strikes. Then foul! Then a slow one to Pope. The race was close, and Pope gave up Ills heave was as a drowning man grasping straw, but luckily it reached Greminger by lasn In advance of Gygli. In the meantime two runners had crossed the pan, put the game of all intents and purposes was concluded. There was a miserable eHhl- bition in the ninth when, after haun had flied out to deep center, McGllvray and Ellam famed in succession.
 The Hammerers Turned.
 As usual, the spectators jeered ana derided the hapless Barons. But in the eighth, when there seemed chance ike a dog turning to his vomit, they cheered Justify. Such is the calibre of the average wielder of the hammer!
 Henline's throw to the plate retiring Pepe from third was cheered. But Hen line performed nothing in this, because the catch was so close that none but Pepe would have attempted to tally. In n pinch, it is exceedingly lucky when this sterling little performer Is either or third or at the bat.
 Manuel was permitted to conclude, 1ncf dentally, although another, after the second, might have saved the day.
