The first. while il ves the full route. WAS de- eided largely through the superior pitch ing of Trough. who put it over Bair, six hits 10 three, and was steadier. Boih teams fieldcd perfectly.
 The second was a seven-inning dnel be- tween former big league sonthpaws, Foxen and Kilian, the latter making his debut in this league, each doing steady and effective work The Barons were a ffifie better in oprortune stick work, both sides again fielding beautifully, with but one niscue each.
 Birmingham maintained a margin of a single run in the opening game, from the fifth inning until the eighth, up to nhIeh time the locals had been able to make but one hit of Trough. The starter came following a walk to MeGilVray, Johnston bunted and forced McGilvray at second. but ceanly stole that base and counted when Elliott singled to center field for the first hit of the game for is side. The locals closed the gap in the eighth when Perry singled over sec end. was sacrificed along by Manager Schwartz and came across when Storch, who was sent in to hit for Bair, delv- cred with a slashing single to center. Case relieved Bair. and before he could get warmed up. Birmingham had batted out a victory with a single, a two-ba gger and a sacrifice fly.
 Mana ger Molesworth's single started the trouble. and Speer, who ran for him, came all the way home when Phelan drove one to the top of the dump, him. self going to third on the throw in. From this point he came over after Doc wiseman had pulled down McBride's long drive to right
 The chief feature of this game. be- sides Prough's box work. was the field 1 ing of Lindsay, who accepted safely Is chances. many of them hard ones. 1 The locals got the jump in the sec ond contest by counting one in the sec ond inning due to Red Smiths long l three agger over McBrides head and Perry's single through the close up in- l field. In the next round Yantz started operations by slamming one against the l bull on the bound for two bags, going to third on Killian's late throw of El- lam's bunt, and was forced in when l Killian lost control and walked Marcan 1 and Molesworth in succession.
 | The winning margin was acquired in 1 the sixth on McBride's hit Munson' s wild heave to catch him at second and McGilyray's dinky lob over Lindsay 8 head. The locals would have tied up the contest in their half Of the sixth had not Mcbride repeated his good work of the first game of the series, making a perfect peg home following safe hit to his territory.
 With two down, Perry slashed one to center and after Schwartz had walked Doc Wiseman drove cleanly to Mcbride, who got the ball home just in time for Yantz to fall over Perry as the local second sacker dived under him.
 Between games Bert Maxwell did a good business for the Scotty Walker benefit contest in the different stands. Killian made a very favorable impress sion his first time in a local uniform. The locals were outplayed, however. in both games just about as the scores of the two contests would indicate.
