 Only 2S men faced Grimes in nine innings and he did not allow a hit until one man was out in the ninth. While Aitchaison was nick ed for eight sin gles-only two of them were clean Yesterdays game will go down as one of the best played games of the sea son.
 The game started late--due to a spirited one-inning game between the Southern Bell telephone girls and an aggregation of femininity from Besse- informed won, but as the press box ooes not boast of an adding machine, no score was kept. still it was very amusing.
 Batteries Announced
 The batteries were then announced and Miss Annie Shapiro prepared to throw the first ball to "Jud' Daley of the Bookouts Miss Shapiro, after a fancy wind-up, threw wide curve that broke on the outside and a ball was called. MT. Burleigh Grimes then as sumed the hurling responsibilities on the mound and despite the handicap of one ball easily famed Daley on three pitched balls. Grimes readily showed that he was right and the crowd settled themselves comfortably in their seats to await at leisure when the Barons would bat out victory as Grimes appeared invincible.
 Pitler. who followed Daley, ground ed out and Clyde Mcbride flew out. In their half the Barons had a slim chance. Coyle and Sloan grounded out, but Dannie Clark rocked the right field fence and was out stretching the hit at second. It was a quick bit of fielding by Peters.
 In the second inning the Barons were retired in order but for the remaining -Dt'- sraced tho paths but were unable to score as Raleigh Aitchaison pitched real classy ball in the pinches.
 Chances of Bar0ns
 The Barons' best chance came in the seventh. when Coombs started off the excitement with a single. On field CTS choice Coombs was forced at sec ,.ff ..;,, l.1 .,,rl,t and Lindspy went to third It was decided to walk Jack" Wallace, and | the bags were embarrassingly popu- | lated by eager Barons with two out | It was ar excellent opportunity for | Grimes to win his own game, but the | rosy checked hurler tried too hard and was an easy victim to the baffling shoots of the smiling MT Aitchaison. It was peculiar of Grimes to do that
 In the eighth Coyle was safe on Caveny's error-the only one made in the game Sloan popped to Aitchaison trying to bunt Clark was "beaned.' Cecil Coombs famed and Clark was l forced at second on Lindsays grounder | to Pitler. In the ninth Magee singled | Ellam walked. Wallace famed and | Grimes hit into a double play The | tenth saw "Tod" Sloan single but he i was unable to advance. In the elev enth, after Lindsay had grounded out, | Magee and Ellam were passed. On | snort passed ball Magee and Ellam ad- | vanced Wallace could not deliver and | he popped out to Kitchens. George | Hale, batting for Grimes, sent up an | easy fly to Harris and Umpire Breiten- | stem then called the game.
 Graft Is Passed
 As for the LoolIouts, they went out in order up to the sixth inning when | Fred Graf was passed and then quick l 1y forced out. Three pukey pop flies l was all the lookouts could nick off the | delivery of Grimes in the seventh. In | the eighth. with two out, Graf rapped | out sharp grounder between first and | second and Dannie Clark snatched it | up with one hand and succeeded in | making the play at first. It was l marvellous piece of work and gave l Grimes a fine chance to register a mo- hit game.
 The ninth started with Caveny, stril<- | ing out. Everyone was cheering | Grimes to pitch a no-hit game but | Aitchaison upset the dope by singlng | sharply to left. "Jud' Daley then hit | into a double play and the game rolled | into extra innings.
 In the tenth the LooSouts apparent | ly won the game, but Umpire Breiten- | tein ruled otherwise. and his rulings 1 were the order of the day. Pitler | started the tenth with q single. iIe | went to second on McBrides sacrifice | and third on Kitchens scratched single ! Peters slapped one at Clark, who was | playing close in. and the return throw | to Wallace was perfect as Pitler slid | m the plate. In the cloud of dust it l was impossible to decide whether the | player was safe or out, and Breiten- | ftein's ruling that he was out may | nave been just. As we were not look ] ing our comments on the play would | be superiluous.
 ' However, Breitonstein's decision | created a lot of trouble, as Manager | rushed at the arbiter and the | police were called to remove him from | the field. Elberfeld objected to the | in which Officer Mullins han dled him and for n time a free fight was anticipated by the occupants of the press. box, but the intervention of
