 Three runs are quite number of count yrs for the Barons to make behind the pitching of Dick Robertson, but in the seventh and eighth innings, through hits and daring base running trio of scores were gathered and more, and enough. for victory would have accrued if Captain Roy Ellam had delivered a timely blow in the seventh, but the sorrel-topped Bar onial held general walloped out a long, dropping fly to Pete Allison and ended the rally.
 Rally in Seventh
 Up to the seventh inning Bushelman had retired the Barons in order with the exception of the third inning when George Hale was passed, only to die at first, as Robbie and Carroll were easy outs. h. cidentally, Bushelman seemed well on his way to pitch no-hit game when, with two out in the seventh, Sir Todrick Sloan sloughed fast ball to center for single The mob of Baronial fans who with the proverbial unfairness of all fans, had been roasting Dickie Robertson throughout tn 2 afternoon suddenly bethought themselves to root little for a batting rally. The loud huzzas and the activities of Drum mer Wilson of the Redwood orchestra iattled Bushelman, with the result that Micky Coyle was able to single to cen~ ter and the fleet running Sloan scored all the way from first base And then the fans made some noise sure enough
 Unnerved by the two disastrous hits, Bushelman walked Cecil Coombs and then delivered the widest of pitches to Ellam, which placed Coyle on third and Coombs on second. A single meant two scores but Ellam, with three balls and two strikes. flied ont to Allison n deapeet centers
 Bushelman Is Yanked
 To begin the eighth inning Bushelman passed George Hale and a Manager Bris- COG Lord realized the crowd had the Nanny" of his pitcher, he ordered a change, which brought the elongated Will bur Robertson on the mound 1t was Robertson vs. Robertson as Dickie was at the bat On two wide curves Pitcher Robertson made Batter Robertson look like monkey but Batter Robertson re- versed things when Pitcher Robertson contemptuously lobbed over a straight ball, as Dickie sent a sharp single to left. Carroll forced Robertson at second but on Mitchel's wild throw to first to complete double play, Hale scored and Carroll reached second. "Jeems" Magee was not there in a pinch as he popped out to Cruthers. However. Bill Lindsay. good, old reliable Bill, doubled to deep center ana carroll scored. It was up to Sloan but the best Tod could do was to send up long foul fly to deep right, which Edson Hemingway gobbled after R long run.
 In the ninth inning Coyle and Coombs were both easy outs, but Roy Elam sim gled to right. Wallace, batting for Hale dlssipated all hopes of the Barons by pop ping up to McDermott.
 Decision of Kerin Disastrous
 As for the Memphis attack on Robert son 1t was largely aided by the field de- cision of Umpire kern, who has been particularly vicious against the local club during the past series.A Although Rob- ertron was ncked for nine hits he in Nariaby steadied with men on the paths Dickie showed his best pitching in the first when with three men on the bags end one out he retired Memphis without a score.
 In the second inning Eibel opened with single. Mitchell followed with an in- field tap on which Robertson stumbled in fielding.
