 Memphis August 4-(Speciai.)- )-The Chicks and the Barons set another extra '-or dinary baseball dish before the fans at Russwood park this afternoon and the Chicks stuck in their thumbs and polled out the plum in the eleventh inning. The score was Memphis 5. Birmingham 4.
 It was the second straight day the Bar ons had fallen in an Thinning contest, and the third straight defeat for them in the series. With darkness fast settling over tho hollow, Ted Baldwin, the versatile Chick, sent a single skipping through the diamond to center field, and Press Cruth- CTS scored from second base with the run that gave Memphis their overtime victory. Three thousand two hundred and forty one fans paid tribute to the late Judge William Marmaduke Kavanaugh Some thing over $125 was derived from the game at Russwood. which will be forwarded to the chairman of the committee in charge of the erection of the monument in mom- cry of Judge Kavanaugh.
 The game was like other conflicts be- tween the Chicks and Barons, who seem unable to play an ordinary game of base ball. It was a tit-for-tat affair, and the Chicks again had the last say, as they did on the proceeding day Errors were prominent in the scoring of both sides and on the other hand brilliant support acccrded pitchers.
 Roth and Johnson
 Arthur Johnson of the Baronial tribe and Dave Roth of the Chicks wigwam was the barrier in the way of probable ycores.
 fAn error. it was thought, that aided the Chicks in turning out their victory in the eleventh inning. With the score tied, and 1. since in the eighth inning Catcher Andreen opened the last round for Mem phis by flying out to Magee. Press Cruth- CTS sent high fly into the darkness in short right field. Danny Clark, after {, hard run, circled under it and the ball bounded out of his hands, Cruthers pulled up safe at second Johnson then walked Hack EibeL With 1t apparent that the Chicks had but few more minutes to finish the inning, Ted Baldwin sent a grounder wiggling through the pitchers box over second and into centerfield and Cruthers raced home with the deciding tally. The Barons accumulated a two- run lead in the first inning, assisted by two errors and two nfield hits.
 Sloan hit a slow roller to Cruthers, beaten out, but Cruthers made a quick wild throw to first and Sloan went on to second. Magee beat out a bunt to McDer- mott and Sloan moved on to third. Coyle went out on a grounder to McDermott without any advance. Coombs sent Il long drive to Stewart in right and Stew art dropped the ball in his anxiety to make the catch and beat Sloan home on the throw, but Sloan scored Magee ! then scored on Lindsay's out on a slow l, grounder to Hemingway.
 Johnson Wild
 Wild Arthur Johnson, who was still un- V tanned when the game was over, paved Y the way for two Memphis scores in the |kElrst Allison walked and went to second on McDermott's sacrifice. Stewart grounded to Johnson, who threw to third to. head off Allison. Allison stopped and got in a chase He worked out of it and Mitchell, who broke for second, was | c.iught in another chase and run down
 while Allison was safe at third. Johnson was unable to find the plate for fleming way and he walked and then stole sec cnd Michael Andreen poled one of John
 sons speeders into right center for a triple and Allison and Hemingway scored.
 The Barons took a new lease on the game in the fifth when they were assisted
 by an error. Magee started with a single, | Coyle doubled to right and Baldwin, who
 misjudged the hit, then fumbled the ball
 long enough for Magee to score. The
 Chicks evened the count in their half of
 the fifth. Baldwin made up for his error
 with a double to left and went to third
 on Roth's sacrifice. Allison grounded out
 to Ellam and Baldwin scored on the out,
 which was a hit and run play.
 Pete Allison with the assistance of two
 errors on one hit ball legged a run for
 the Chicks in the sixth. Allison doubled
 to left. Coombs over ran the ball and
 Magee started after it. He ran it down
 and juggled it while Pete was going to
 third Magee then heaved to Ellam who
 threw past third to the stand and Allison
 completed the journey.
 Clark singled handed tied the game for
 the Barons in the eighth. Danny, who had
 previously sent Stewart back to the right
 field fence to bag a fly. this time lifted
 the sphere over the wall for home run
 It was probably the longest drive seen |sut Russwood this season. It came with
 one out and the two Barons who followed
 Clark were easy subjects for Roth. Hem
 ingway, Eibel and Dave Roth placed the
 Barons in a scoring location in the tenth
 but the Barons were unable to help them .selves. With one out Roth pecked Lind Fsay on the arm and he went to second a
 minute later on wild pitch. Ellan
 grounded to McDermott and Lindsay
 Wiggled past Red" to third while FL
 lam was safe at first Clark grounded
