safe hit and Pitcher George ( now safely installed in the base
 While the first game was an exciting affair and fairly scintillated with brilliant plays, it was overshadowed by the second fracas through the sensational pitching of Cunningham. This youngster is the property of the Detroit Americans and they had best recall him immediately, as he looks as if he could be of great help in the final stages of the American league pennant race to the Ty-gers.
 The seccnd game was scheduled for seven innings. but 1t went nine and would have gone further for the fact that Um- pire Breteinstein was forced to make the admission that darkness prevented his seeing what the pitcher was throwing Some of the Lookouts were cruel enough to say that the darkness should not make any difference to Breiteinstein as he guessed at everything anyhow.
 Cunningham seemingly had everything and retired the Barons usually, on slow infield taps. In the second inning Lind say poked one at Graf, who immediately threw wild to right field, and Lindsay perched on second. On Magee's out Lindsay went to third and he scored on Elam's short sacrifice fly to right field.
 Score Without a Hit
 It was one run made without a hit and for the next seven innings Cunningham prevented any further liberties, although he walked two batters and Lindsay reached first on an error by Harris in the seventh. However, at no time was Cunningham in danger of being scored on. It was brilliant pitching and the fans loudly cheered the Lookout spitballer when it became known that he had really pitched a no-hit game.
 The one run the Lookouts made In the second game came in the fourth when "Jud" Daley opened with a double and scored on single by Kitchens. At other times Perryman was in danger. but he was frightened in time to prevent any runs from coming across. In the eighth Perryman retired three batters on three ;. pitched balls, two flies to center and a grounder to second.
 The First Game
 In the first game Karl Black pitched invincibe ball until the ninth when the Baronia southpaw grew faint from the effects Of Elberfeld's hard drive in the eighth. which struck him in the pit of the stomach After Coombs had made a bad huff of long fly by Kitchens and Harris had tripled, scoring run, Black retired from the game at his own re- quest. Perryman finished the game, all lowing another hit and another run-just one shy of tieing the score
 The Barons opened in the first inning of the first game By scoring run Coyle singled and went to second on Sloan's out Coyle scored when Clark singled to center. Clark was out at second try ing to stretch his hit, Daley to Marshall to Caveny In the third the Barons scored another run when Black singled and scored on a rank error by Peters in right field, who dropped Sloan's high fly. In the fifth George Hale tripled and scored on Blacks single and that ended the scoring for tho Barons.
 Black not only pitched wonderful game, but in his first two appearances at the oat he singled twice and stole two bases, scored one run and drove in an- other. Mir. Loudenslager was very much on the job, but according to the latest reports he was feeling like the small boy who ate too many green apples as the result of stopping Elberfeld's line drive with his stomach.
 All Pitching Duels
 The past three games with tfe LOOK cu:s have resulted in pitching duCs of the highest crder. On Wednesday Il ecoreless innings were played and the box sco-es of yesterday denote some thing of the cleverness of the pitching art. There will be another 6cu5lc-header this afternoon and another rare eXhibi- ton of curling should be seen, as Dickie Robertson ., d Arthur Jonnstcn will work for the Barons while Clark and Aitchaison will assume the mound a.ties for the Lookouts The first game will begin at z:i5 o'clock.
 In the fielding line yesterday the honors in the first game go to Clyde Mcbrlde who caught everything in sight in left field Cecil Coombs also had several good catches-especially in the fourth inning when he ran in and just managed to get a high foul from the bat of Peters that retired the side. The work of Caveny. Ellam, Pittler and Clark also merited v,,u- h rraise
