M'GILVRAY STILL LEADS IN HIT. TING AND BASE STEALING. MARCAN DERIVES HIM OF RUN GETTING SECOND

The record of the Barons throughout the is shown by the figures printed below that in each game the Barons have scored the average of 2a, and in each game have got an average of "A hits.
 These runs should win the average game in the Southern league. and the fact that the Barons are still below the BOO mark serves to bring an indictment against the pitchers.
 q The Barons in 2i games scored s9 runs on 1S6 hits or one run for every Ill hits. This indicates that the Barons have wasted few hits. As a rule one is re- send the runner home. Therefore, in get ting each run in the 24 games. the Barons have wasted but Ill of hit.
 The Barons for 24 games stung the ball at 23i clip. While this does not ap- proach the record of last season, it Is fairly good hitting, as good as the aver age, as matter of fact. Another notable feature is that whereas last season the bulk of the Baron hits was produced by outfieders, the infelders this season are doing the better work. McGilvray. of the regulars, still leads with a fine record of 30 hits in 24 games, his average being 349. The base running of the club IS not what it should be, the Barons having stolen but 11a bases per game. The base stealers are led by McGilvray who swiped 8 bases in 24 games. Phelan with IS seventh.

SAVIDGE EASY

Montgomery May 13.-Atlanta walloped the ball hard this afternoon and took the last game from Montgomery by a score of 8 to 8. Johns was effective but Savidge was an easy mark for the visitors. Sensational field ing by Corbin and Graham, daring base running by Pratt and the long home run over left field fence by ODell were fea- lures.
 There was considerable wrangling by Montgomery players on decisions by Um- pire Byron, who put Happy Smith and Dobbs out of the game. Chattanooga comes tomorrow, and the first Sunday game in number of years will be played. A law enforcement league is being form ed to prevent Sunday ball, but it will not make a move at this time, it is said. The

Montgomery. May 13.-A test will be made of the ordinance permitting the playing of baseball in this city on Sun days, when on tomorrow Montgomery and Chattanooga will lineup against each other in the first of a four-day se- ries. Whether or not the game will pro- gress through a single inning Is doubt ful, owing to the expectation that the sheriff will be on hand with warrants for the arrest of the players, but the promised excitement is expected to mere ly draw to the park the biggest crowd in the history of the municipality.
 The ordinance permitting baseball on Sundays was recently passed by the city commissioners, under license alleged to have been given by the legislature at It's recent session.

Two Pitchers Slaughtered


 Wagner opened the melee for Birmng- ham, and his lack of strength on account of his recent injury, forced him, under terrific fire of the Volunteers, to run for shelter in the fourth.
 Mulloy, his opponent, was driven from the hill in the same inning, the Baron bats hammering him from head to foot and leaving him disfgured forever.
 Fleharty took up the strife following the discontinue of Wagner, and Vie bahn rushed to the assistance of the Vol unteers. Neither of these hefty individ- uals escaped a severe chastisement, all though the Baron got the edge of the argument in decisive manner.
 The terrific hitting of both teams fea- tured the game There were three home runs, Smith and Mulloy of Nashville, and Elliott of Birmingham being the swat ters, two triples which counted and an other which Umpire Fitzsimmons would not permit, one double, and such an array of singles of all descriptions, that the scorer in ringing them up was perpetual ly in distress.
 Chiefly through the errors of the Voun- teers, the Barons put over five runs in the first, second and third innings. In the second, in virtue of a home run py Smith, the Vols counted, and in their half of the fourth. by hammerng the benders of Wagner into every corner of the lot, tied the score and ran ahead by rushing five talliesg over the pan. But in their half of the fourth the Barons, on hits of Marcan, Molesworth, Phelan and Mcbride, again took the lead.
 In the fifth, with Yantz on first, Elliott hit a home run to deep leftfield, and though this punch put the hope of the Volunteers on the inky blink, the flock of Moesworth added another brace in the eighth.
 The Volunteers scored but one run after Fleharty mounted the hill. This occurred In the sixth, when Seabaugh singled, Viebahn, the impossible, dou- bled, and McGilvray dropped throw of Yantz attempting to retire Bay at first.
 Riots in Eighth
 There was additional life tossed into the scrimmage in the eighth. After Marcan was down Molesworth tripled over first. Umpire Fitzsimmons ruled the ball fair. Then the Volunteers dragged him to where they alleged the ball had struck the ground-and Fitzsimmons, forgetting that the ball, in spite of where it struck earth, had passed over the first bag, declared it foul.
 And later on MeGivray, having at | tempted to circle the bases on his hit and an error of Viola, and having been called out on an extremely doubtful de- cision at the plate, could not repress the

Some day the story books will tell of the marvellous exhibitions presented yes- te1day afternoon by the combined talent of Birmingham and Nashville, an exhibi- tion which was conceived in error, born in dispute and concluded with no one fearful over the bier.
 And yet it was a type of game in which the ordinary spectator finds his keenest delight. It was full of hitting, full of errors full of fight and. figuratively, full of blood. It was a real scrap. Every man with his bristles out sought no quar- ter and offered none. And 1t ended with the Barons on top-although they were beaten and bruised and bleeding.
 The score was Il to ', and even in the result, there was something in which the punster might crack a joke, or the roetaster find reasonable excuse to an-
