By HERBERT CALDWELL

Memphis, August 14.-1SpeciaI)
 Al McCoII, blond pitching Tribes
 man, turned out his second victory
 in two days over the Barons when
 he hurled the Tribe to n to 1
 victory over the Baronial troupe
 in the getaway game of the series
 this afternoon at Rus~yvood park.
 When Al subdued the Barons today he lessened the gap now separating the third place Barons and the fourth place Tribes men and smeared up a clean pitching slate of Marcus Milligan, a long and lean Baron product of Auburn, and whose so- journ in the Southern league up to to- day had consisted of four straight vfc- tories
 Sam Wick, the Chick right fielder, former collegian of Millsaps college, de- livered the staggering blow to Milligan when, with one out in the fifth, Wick hit to right center for triple and what would have been home run but for a "charieyhorse' that retarded Vicks speed. Singles following by Bratchi, Do bard and Beall knocked Milligan clear out of the game and Karl Black, left slider, took up the job. Black held the Chicks in check the remainder of the game
 BEALL BEANED
 George Beall, the Chick first baseman, narrowly escaped what might have been serious injury when he was hit on the head by a pitched bail by Black in the seventh inning. The blow felled Beall, who hit the ground with a thud and curled into knot. He was soon revived and taken to the dressing room. After an examination by physician it was announced that the blow would not prove serious and that Bean would likely be able to play Thursday, when the Chicks open with the Crackers.
 The plate began to pendulate for Milli- gan in the first inning and pendulated into Chick score before he was able to get bead on it. Allison and Cruthers walked in succession and Wick moved both up with sacrifice Milligan volun- tariiy walked, Bratchi filling the bases, and then involuntarily walked Dobard, forcing in Allison Beall hit to Milligan, who forced Cruthers at the plate and Manda went out, Milligan to Johnston.
 Milligan held the Chicks to two hits up to the fifth when Chick hits started to shower. Wick belted to the right center field fence and ambled around to third. V Bratchi sent one past third, scoring Wick. Dobard singled to left and Bratchi went < to second. Beall lined to right, scoring Bratchi and moving Dobard to third. That was the end of an imperfect day for Millgan Black took up the job and Dobard scored when Caton threw out Manda on a grounder Ruel went out, z Smith to Johnston, on dump in front of the plate The Chicks secured but two hits off Black in the last three innings.
 M'COLL MASTERS BARONS
 McColl held the Baronial batters hitless up to the fifth, when Johnston doubled but never got any farther than third. Webb beat out an infield hit in the sixth with one out but was thrown out trying to steai second.
 A shower of Baron hits fell in the sew enth, but out of four hits came but one run. With one out Johnston singled to left. Sheehan popped out to Cruthers Smith singled to center, but Johnston was held at second. Duncan singled to right and the bases were filled. Black lined over short, scoring Johnston and leaving the bases still filled. With Me against Me Mcdonald lined out to Wick in right and McColl got the best of Mcdonald.
 The fly chasing of Cecil Coombs in left for the Barons and Pete Allison in center for the Chicks were the most notable fea- lures in fielding way. Coombs had four put-outs and ran all over left and part of center field. making them. Alli- son had six put-outs and made them rum ming in and running back.
