 The game was what could be called an- other real pitchers battle. Black never walked a man, while Walker furnished four free transportation.
 ONLY SIX HITS Black struck out two and Walker six and Dixie" allowed but six hits. Dumb hoe chances to score, and also caused the big blow-up in the eighth inning.

Walker hit to Black and Higgins was away for the plate. Black threw to Haworth, who threw to Webb and it looked to the stands as if Higgins had beaten the throw back to third. Meanwhile, Walker had reached second.
 Kerin called him out. Dobbs jumped for Kerin. So did Higgins. They fiaI1 to his brother umpires assistance. The wordy war continued, and both men were banshed.
 They kept up their wordy war and Moran ordered them from the grounds. As he walked over to the New Orleans bench cries of "robber," thief" and the like rent the air, and then shower of pop bottles rained all around him. Not one hit him. He looked up into the stands and laughed.
 PELICANS RETIRED
 In the meantime, Black was throw ing to Haworth and Stansbury, who was at bat, hit one to Johnston and he touched the bag. The umpires ruled the play cut and proceeded with the game. Things looked black for Birmingham when Caton erred Stansburys grounder, but Knaupp lifted to Webb. Edmondson singled in the ninth and with the count 2 and 1 on Barpare, tried to steal but was out. Haworth to Caton.
 Both Dobbs and Higgins were fined by the umpires for their action, and Pres
 dent Heinemann said he regretted It very much, especially the pop bottle throwing.
