spring, however, he has been unable to get anything near the plate.
 Bi1rningham's alliance with Philadelphia netted the locals no gain. Mowrey, out fielder, fractured a bone in his foot soon after his arrival. Pitcher Schettler be- came dissatisfied and was permitted to return. Wilhelm was necessarily ruled ineligible on account of his horrible lack of control.
 Johnson is said to be a rattling good performer, playing infield and outfleld po- sitions and hitting the ball hard. He is a brother of First Baseman Johnson of New Orleans.

Story of Scoring

The Crackers got next to Fleharty Tn the very beginning. Corbin opened with a double to left and Walker sacrificed him to third. He scored on the juicy bingle of Zimmerman.
 But the Barons came back strong in the second Mcbride was walked to be- gin with, and McGilvray singled through second. On Bars attempted sacrifice Mo Bride was thrown out at third. But Yantz clipped a triple to deep left, SCOT ing Barr and McGilvray. Elliott's single scored Yantz. Fleharty followed with 8 wallop to center, and Marcan was safe on Walkers tumble. But Molesworth popped out to second and Phelan's fly to left was gobbled up by Corbin.
 Though they got one additional hit in the third, the Barons were under the spell of Britton until the eighth. Then, with one down, McGilvray singled ana went to third on the double of Barr. Yantz's single scored McGilvray and Barr. Yantz went to third on Elliott's double and Fleharty's drive to right, that on which Watson made a wonderful catch, permitted him to reach home.
 The remaining chapters of the story deal exclusively with the fine opportuni- ties to score which the Crackers threw

The Barons again hooked the Georgia Crackers. the score of the second game being to 1.
 Fleharty in the pinehes. and there was pinch in every inning, was exceedingly strong At other times he was hammered all over the field. On the other hand, Britton, in the pinches, was pie for the
 Barons, though when no men were on the bases he couldn't be found with any degree of consistency.
 The game was played on field so heavy with mud that neither team took advantage of the opportunity to warm up before the battle Considering this fact, the fielding was exceptionally good. The Barons played errorless ball, and Walk CTS error, coming in an exciting moment, might have been excused by a generous manager. The hitting of several players featured the game, while the star per formance was that of Watson in the ninth when he made one of those spectacular accidents which figure in the song and story of baseball. Fleharty, in this round, hit the ball to deep right field. Watson, having tried and to all appearances failed to get within reach of the ball, in desper- ation threw out his gloved paw-and the pellet stuck.

Proving Fleharty's Strength

After scoring in the first, the Crackers threatened in the second when Jordan opened with a double. Elliott. however, caught him sound asleep at second. In the third Britton walked and Corbin sim gled to begin with. Walker flied to Barr, Zimmerman famed, and after ODell had filled the bases by being hit with the ball, Watson flied to Mcbride.
 The fourth was uneventful In the fifth, however, Britton and Corbin singled to bgein with. Walker, Zimmerman and O'Dell made easy outs. The sixth was peaceful enough. but in the seventh the Crackers stirred again with couple of swats and the bases became full with two out when a base on balls occurred ODell, however, hit to Yantz and a run ner was forced at second. In the eighth
 Watson and Jordan opened with singles, and with two gone, Britton's walk again filled the bases But Corbin hit to Yantz and Britton was forced at second.
 Though Zimmerman singled in the ninth
 the Crackers did not really arouse in-
 terest, for the Barons had just previously put an additional trio of runs over the pot.

MCPHERSON RULES RATE
BODY MAY FIX TARIFF
Iowa Federal Judge Decides
Against Express Com
panies' Injunction.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 1S.-Judge Nc
Pherson today notified Attorney Cen
eral Cosson OF his decision In the ex-
press rate cases. entering decree
fully sustaining the position Of the rail-
road commission and directing that,
after October 81, the reduced express
rates shall 60 into effect In Iowa.
The reduction amounts to about GO
per cent, but by reason OF a change
in the minimum on merchandise of 20
cents, 1t is worth, much more to the
public.
Mcpherson highly compliments the
state for having made such a thorough
investigation.
He holds that the express companies
wholly failed to make showing that
the new rates would be unremunera-
tive or confiscatory, and he refuses to
accept their theory OF the basis Of APP
portionment Of expenses to the state.
He also again takes exactly the OPP
posite view to that Of Judge Sanborn
in regard to the right OF the state to
fix rates and declares that these
changes do not affect interstate rates.
In view Of the probability that the
supreme court will soon pass on the
Sanborn decision, this phase Of the
case will wait.
Mcpherson gave the express COM
panies six weeks in which to present
and prepare new schedules before dis
solving the temporary restraining order
he had previously issued.
