 The first game was lost to the visitors by costly errors. although the Birming hsm college team played brilliant ball throughout
 The second game was featured by two squeeze plays worked by Marion insti- ute and the pitching of Hicks, who was stronger at finished than at the beginning

Ky RICHARD IT. LUSsIER

Sir Todrfck Sloan did his best to win for Birmin gham in the eighth in- ming yesterday by slamming out the Iead--but the fates decreed that Omnr Hardgrove should return to the mound and to pitch the ninth in- nfnR-and thus Birmingham lost the third game of the series to chatta- nooga by the score of to 5. The IookOuts found the old sleuth for five doubles, n triple nnd five miscellaneous singles during the boIsterous contest, which lasted upwards of two hours
 In the fifth inning, with the score to Q in favor of the 'Noogans, the Bar ons nicked the delivery of Cunningham, a nifty young spitball artist whom Moose Mccormack had on trial, for two safe blows which netted a run. In the sixth two more bingles brought an- other counter The seventh saw Shot gun" John Wallace slam one to the left field bleachers for a home run. In the eighth Dannie Clark singled and Toddie Sloan brought forth his cele- brated speciality of spilling the beans by knocking the apple to the flag pole for a home run which placed the Bar one one counter to the good. Now that the prologue is over-the tragedy be- gins.
 Omar Hardgrove having struggled foi eight innings with indifferent support approached the mound in the ninth with visions of winning his first game of the season. Also it was not to be.

NINTH INNING
 ENDS HARDGROVE

Kid Elberrfeld stood at the plate with a demonical grin as Hardgrove sweated in striving to find the platter until the veteran infielder of the Lookouts se- cured free stransportation to first base. Jack Johnston without barley of any sort, dumped neat little sacrifice and Elberfeld perched on second with his inimitable chatter. Harris, a heavy hit ting recruit advanced to the firing line and slamed out a clean single to center but Elberfeld was held on third by the bonehead coaching of Rube Marshall. Just why Marshall stopped Elberfeld a. third will remain one of the unfath- omable mysteries of the world until the millienum arrives.
 Harry fMoose) Mccormick with a man on third and one on first, decided not to waste any time, so singled sharply to right, scoring Elberfeld and sending Harris to third It was then that Hardgrove was informed that his ser vices for the remainder of the day would be dispensed with. Karl Black without having warmed up, relieved the broken down veteran and Graf proved an easy out.
 With two out two on bases and the score tied the fans still had hopes tha' the game would be saved, but these fickered when Lusk doubled along the third base line, scoring Mccormick ano Harris. Kitchens slammed one to Ella m who fumbled and Lusk scored. Cunning ham ended the spree by striking out.
