 Jess Tannehill the battle scared vet eran of a thousand campaigns. was the pan-iam of the -Plutocratic con- troversy yesterday afternoon, and. there fore, our noble third placers are occupy ing their customary territory this morn ernoon of too much Jess and not More enough The score of the game was to i.
 If ever a finger deserved a shut-out that fingers name begins with J. Had Catcher Yantz held the ball on which Pedro Lister swung himself into outer darkness in the second inning, Moran, who was on second, would never have advanced to third. And, as consequence the long fly off the mallet of Higgins would never have opened the gates of Paradise for a runner
 The feature of the game yesterday was the fleet base running of Phelan. The third baseman, who, on the afternoon previous was absolutely out of condition, starred yesterday. This is proved in the fact that he scored a couple of runs with out having smashed out the semblance of a bingle. Mcbride, in the field was the hero of the afternoon, and but for his fine sprinting in the second the story books might tell another story today. At the bat Mcbride was at the rat hole, too. In the seventh his bngle scored a runner and in the eighth his wallop ad- vanced another to position from which he eventually scored
 Forrest More, the big finger who was sent to the hill by Manager Smith, in the very beginning looked like a mighty conqueror, In the first and sixth he made the fatal mistake of passing Phe- Ian, who, on both occasions, reached the plate. In the sixth, seventh and eighth. he weakened, too, and the Barons, in each round, stung him in the pinches Tannehill, on the other hand, was steady throughout. He was hard to hit-having i allowed not more than one smash in any inning-had excellent control and it was his fielding which started the two double plays with which the Barons are | given credit.
 In spite of the threatening weather | the attendance was large and the enthu- siasm of the fans had considerable to | do With the notable ach1eyement Of the Barons.
 The Barons got away in the first. Mar can walked, but Phelan forced him at second. Phelan stole and went to third a moment later when More threw badly in an effort to catch the runner off sec ond After Moesworth had popped out Mcbride was walked, and he and Phelan immediately worked the double steal, the latter scoring.
 But in the second the Lookouts evened up the situation when Moran started the ball to rolling by doubling along the leftfield foul line. Lister struck out, and Moran, when Yantz threw to first to retire the batsman, went to third. From there he scored on 8 long fly to Mcbride, in the catching of which the Baron gar dener showed great speed and rare good judgment.
 Then the Barons started out to win the game. In the sixth Phelan was walked. He stole second. after Moes- worth had popped out, and went to third on the bad throw of Higgins. From there he scored on McBride's wallop to left.
 In the seventh Johnston opened with bingle by third. and took third on two outs. Tannehill then swatted one to the scoreboard for a double and Johnston counted.
 In the eigth, with one down, Molesworth singled to right center and was scored Gilvray.
