It ended that way because Jimmy Eschen smashed himself a neat four base drive over the dome of Baby Doll'' Jacobson his first trip to the plate in Birmingham togs and be- cause a ninth-inning rally staged by the Barons was nipped after one run had been scored. The other contribut- ing factor was an eighth-inning rally staged by the Travellers at the eX- pense of Dickie Robertson and his splitter. The Little Rock sluggers were six innings getting to the moist ball, but when they did they grouped their singles and a triple for three runs, which later developments showed to have been quite timely.
 After that unfortunate start the Barons' clan settled down behind Dickie Robert son and fought off the opposition The spitbal was working true to form and Jimmy Caton and Emil Meusel pulled their customary highway acts. After Jimmy Eschen had chased Jacobson al- most to the boards in center field to re- trieve his blow, the lead was reduced to one run and at times that lead was de- cidedly insecure, but they couldn't get them by at the proper time.

DICK IN TROUBLE

Dickie Robertson got in trouble in the eighth when Jacobson opened with a single and counted on Rumlers triple. Manning grounded. Barbare hit to Caton who caught Rumler at the plate. Starr singled and Barbare took third. They pulled double steal and Barbare scored. Starr counted on Gibson's single Had it not been for that eighth inning slip by Robertson, the story might have been otherwse, for the Moleys started in on Hardgrove in the ninth and chased him out of the box.
 Meusel singled, and so did Clark. Grimes went in to run for Danny. Lindsay slapped a hot one at Wares who made a quick play in an effort to get Grimes at sec ond. Burleigh collided with Barbare, who dropped the ball. In the meantime Meusel had crossed the plate. Starr then called in George Leclaire. Eschen skied to Manning, who took the ball close in and held the runners on. Smith took the count for three strikes. Hauser went to bat for Caton andd rev base on balls. filling the bases. That put it up to Rob- ertson, who famed, and the rally died in its infancy. Molesworth and his tribe leave here tonight after none too pleas ant stay for Memphis where they will see the Chicks and Crackers play to- norrow. They move on to Chattanooga tomorrow night.

URGES cLEAN-up DAY.
Superintendent chorn Asks That
Fire Hazards Be Removed
n. n To Reduce Rates.

A cleanup dayis urged in every.
town in Missouri by Walter X.
Chorn. State Superintendent Of In.
surance, ina letter addressed to
every newspaper in the state.
Thisis asked for by Mr.. chorn for
several reasons, but the main one
Is to try and secure a reduction in
fire insurance rates.
Mr.. Chorn urges that all base
ments be thoroughly cleaned and
that rubbish taken out be burned,
but in doing this he particularly
admonishes all to be very careful.
Refuse from all stairways and
counters should be cleared away"
says Mr.. Chorn, who also asks that
The rear of all. buildings be given
special attention and that all box
|es piled in the rear be removed to
| a safe distance from the building
In order that a match dropped
carelessly may not be the cause for
the destruction of an entire town.
He also asks that everyone be
sure to use flue stops in all flue
holes when stoves are taken down
for the summer. Insurance com
pauies make charge Of from S
cents to 10 cents for all uncapped
flue holes.
IA general cleanup will be a
|good thing for every town in the
state. and / am hoping that all
cities and towns that are not pre-
pairing to have such a day will pre-
pare for one now. 1t will not only
be good thing in the way of re-
ducing fire insurance rates but it
is certain to give the town a much
better appearance and will make
it much more sanitary" concludes
IMr. Chorn.
4 Other improvements that may
| be made are the removal Of gaso
lime from buildings and removed
to a distance of not less than TWEEN

Morgan's Triple Helps.

This is how these runs were obtained !:
After Morgan had been retired at first
in the sixth Foster was given a life by
Bushs tumble of his pop fly. Milan
tripled, sending Foster home, and Milan
scored when Bush threw poorly to the
plate on ROndeau's offering.
In the seventh a walk to Henry, two
inheld outs, which placed him on third,
and Morsan's triple gave the locals a
run In the eighth James, who was
sent in to relieve Dubuc, was touched
up lively. With Milan out of the way,
Rondeau singled and Judge sent him
home with a double. Shanks strouck
out, but Henry and Mcbride came
through with singles, sending Judge
home.
1t was not until the eighth that the
Tigers scored. Dubuc hit for three

M'COURT NEW CHAMPION
Beats Ellis $50 to 149 for Three
Cushion Billiard
Title.

PITTSBURGH May 1s.-The worlds
three-cushion championship changed
hands here last night, Charles McCourt
winning over Charles Ellis by a score
of $50 to 149. McCourt entered the
nights play with lead of points and
by averaging more than one point to
the inning increased the lead to II the
thirteenth inning.
Ellis reduced the margin to in the
twenty first inning, but high run of
7 by McCourt sent it up to II again.
Ellis was playing a consistent game
and from the twenty-seventh inning on
he cut the lead down gradually until
the forty-eighth. when McCourts ad-
vantage was one point.
McCourt managed to stay in the lead
by two or three points. until the sixty
sixth inning, when he ran his score up
to 149 and had a lead of points. Ellis
got two in the SEVENTEEN inning and
tied the score in the seventy-third after
McCourt had missed several easy shots.
In the seventy fifth inning Ellis mis-
cued, leaving a perfect set-up. So ap-
narent was his defeat that he put his
cue away.
McCourt was favored by luck in max
ing three of his runs This luck seemed
to desert him the last few innings. sew.
eral breaks going against him. Ellis
fought a great uphill battle. and his
work in the seventy-third inning had
McCourt's admirers scared. He out
played the new champion in the block,
scoring 81 billiards to SO, and had he
been favored with any kind of luck
would have retained his title.

yesterday, when Jennings was forced
to pitch Dubuc out of turn, and natur-
ally he did not demonstrate his usual
good form Unless Jennings can get
his pitching staff working to better
advantage there is little or no hope
for the Tigers to cut much of figure
in the present race. There is no ques-
ton about the team being strong one
and a hustlinS aggregation. but IKE
most any team, it cannot protect itself
If it lacks pitching strength. No one
realizes this more than Jennings him
self. and he is determined to better the
condition of his staff regardless of what
it requires to bring this about.
Howard, who was a member of the
St Louis Browns last season, now is
playing second base for the Indians.
From all accounts he is filing the po-
sition satisfactorily, and also is doing
his share of the hitting.
Howard is a valuable man for the
reason that he can play any position on
the infield i'll the event of an emer-
gency.
Ray Morgan continues to play the
best ball of his career. The Nationals
second baSeman is attracting the at
tention of the members of other teams,
who are praising his brilliant work.
Morgan is not only attending strictly to
business but he is faster than ever before,
able players that the team can boast OF.
1T surely would have been d serious mis-
take if Morgan had been allowed to go to
some other team. for he would have been
of great value to any one of them, and
there is much doubt that any one could
have been obtained to play the same sort
of ball he is putting up. Morgan did some
timely hitting yesterday and also walked
the first time up. His record yesterday
was a single and a triple in three times
up he also got stolen base and
walk.
Donie Bush had an off day in the field
yesterday. booting a couple of balls that
he ordinarily would have eaten up. How
ever. he came through with a hit in the
ninth which helped to score a run for
the Tigers
Eddie Foster is going along splendidly
these days. He is a dangerous hitter and
displays a lot of speed on the bases. Fos-
ter was on the bases twice yesterday. hit
ting safely in the fourth and getting a
life on Bush's error in the sixth inning
when the Nationals gained a commanding
lead.
