Hills hit slowly and Haworth and Hill both took another bag. Bill Webb cracked a single to left and the Baron battery romped across. Mcdonald and Coombs ended the inning with skiers to the gardeners.
 That completed the Barons' scoring. In the first Inning, the bases were filled with one out, but Slattery retired Ellis and Southworth successfully. In the third, the Barons got a runner to third with two out, but he could not be brought home In the seventh. the Barons went out in order. Two hits came in the eighth but there was no scoring.
 In the seventh, Layden's infield hit. Webbs error and Watts double gave the Gulls marker. Tn all other rounds, the Gulls were at the mercy of Hill and his teammates.
 The Gulls played a poor game yester- day. probably because their pitching was of such calibre. Their work here in three games. however brands them as the only logical team for the cellar for the entire campaign.

|OrloN and Cutler ArriDe
 In Pink of Condition for
 Bout dt Jefferson TonigH
Russian Champion Vetabe GiantStock Goes Up With Rush Following His Arrival-Sale of Seats Unusually
 Brsk-Match Starts at 830 O'Clock

Orloff betrayed an inclination to talk about events in Russia rather than the coming bout with Cutler and his reminis- cences of his experiences in the Russian army were fascinating. He had quite crowd around him at the Jefferson last night, who followed closely his quaint English with the marked foreign accent
 Cutler blew in from Virginia late last night and declared that he, too, was in the pink of condition for the match. Cut Ter was his usual quiet debonair self.
 That thousand for the winner looks mighty good to me-" he said. q think I'll cop 1t. At least haven't overlooked anything that might prevent me from doing it. I think that I have trained harder for this bout than for the one with Stecher, and in all my career I have never been in finer physical condition. My body is just right and I expect to call on 1t to go the limit tomorrow night"
 TICKET SALE HEAVY
 The rush for tickets continued extremely heavy during yesterday, and it is ex- pected that the largest crowd that ever saw wrestling match will witness the encounter between Cutler and Orloff to- night. Ringsde seats went fast yester- day, and if not another seat were sold a rattling good house would be assured.
 The match seems to have struck the fancy of the Birmingham wrestling fans and they have been on edge to witness the battle of giants, for it will be a bat tie of giants.
 E. J. Parry, the competent referee who gave such universal satisfaction in the other match, will officiate and will see to it that all rules are rigidiy enforced.
 MT. Parks was enthusiastic last night and desired to thank the sport lovers of Birmingham for the very liberal support which they have given him in his efforts to provide clean recreation for them
