Montgomery, May 3.-(Special.)-Bir-
 mngham won the last game of the series
 from Montgomery this afternoon by
 score of to 5, giving the Barons three victories out of the four games played here. Johnson started for Birmingham
 but lasted only one-third of the first in
 ming. the first two batters facing him
 hitting for three bases each. Gregory re- lieved him and worked for six and two third innings, when he was removed to l make way for Hardgrove. who pitched the last two innings.
 Poor base running on both sides kept the score down, but had it not been for the poor work of the Montgomery players on the paths Montgomery would have
 won. The fielding behind Black was poor and allowed the run scored by the Barons in the sixth without a hit
 Knisely Uses War Club Knsely led the batters for the day with
 two hits out of two times up. His hits
 scored two of the Barons six runs and he
 crossed the plate twice himself. Baker for Montgomery, with a three
 bagger and two singles out of four times up, also featured. The only nice catch
 of the day was made by Daily in the sec ond inning, when he pulled in Ellams
 drive to the left field fence
 Montgomery pulled off three double plays while the Barons made one double killing. The Barons came in the sixth in ming, when, with the bases full, one run ner was killed at the plate and the run
 ner doubled at first.
 Dilger Ordered From Game l Umpire Breitenstein put Dilger out of 1 the game and grounds for disputing de- cision in the sixth inning and Pitcher Grimes was also ordered off the grounds for kicking on the same decision, which was when Breitenstein called Snedecor's hit down third base line fair. It scored two runs for Montgomery and looked fair from the press box.
 Montgomery made a desperate rally in the ninth but Gribbens was killed at the plate when he tried to score from second on an infield hit by Baker.
