Dark or otherwise, it made differ ence to Molesworth's Barons, who ex- hibited as a brilliant fielding club under three distinct and separate conditions. They fielded grandly while it was day light, they fielded surely when 1t rained, and they were just as certain when it was dark. As for the Travel CTS, they displayed two types of base ball, super-sensational and ultra-bad The first variety kept the Barons from scoring in several of the first nine in- nings. The second type tossed them the ball game in the tenth. However, the Barons won the ball game and their fielding entitled them to win.
 The events of the tenth, in the order of their happening. follow:
 "Stuffy" Stewart who had done bril- liant work as a second baseman, bos- sonled forth as a hitter when he led off with line single past Heinie Boil. Harry Emery, the Southern's leading hit ter dumped a bunt toward third. Moore fielded the ball ceanly but his throw to first was high and Emery crossed the bag, while Wano was in the air after the ball. Traynor also bunted and Connie Fields. who previously had field ed as brilliantly as he had pitched, stuck a couple of thumbs into the ball, and the bases were loaded. Kid Elberfield hurried Cliff Ingram to the box and Frank Kohbecker improved the outlook considerably by picking Stewart off third with a snap throw to Moore. But Ingram slipped Dutch" Bernsen base on balls and the bases were clogged again. The Kid shuffled again and out came Ole John Henry Robinson and hope returned tos the breasts of the tired fans, but after missing two youthful Sumpter Clark fired a single to right that scored Enlery and Traynor. Pug Allen, who
 fl.n fe.1lc in ming, hit to left for three bases and two more Barons scored. Taylor and Gonch went out on ground balls.
 OUT OF LUCK
 The Travellers went through the form ality of batting out their share of the tenth but they had no more luck against Lefty Whitehill, who succeeded Phi Morrison in the ninth, than they had had against this same Morrison.
 Mention of pitchers takes us back to the sensational, with special regard to the pitching Connie Fields was Fiber fields first choice and Morrison, brother of John Dewey Morrison, Baron star of last year and the year before, was se- lected by Molesworth. Both vindicated 5fhe judgment of their managers by put ting on a battle that was pretty to ob- serve. There was little to choose be- tween them in the eight innings they eaCn hits and each was wonderfully effec- tive with men on bases and both had numerous opportunities to show their ef- fectiveness On the merits of the pitch ing the affair should have been draw. but baseball games seldim are decided on merits when the match is as close as was yesterdays. s.
 BERNIE SAVES GAME
 It takes the breaks to settle such a combat The Travellers were unable to get a break all the way, and then they made it worse luck by breaking the game for the opposition. The Barons could not have scored in the tenth with ont the Travellers misplays. However, it was great pitching exhibition, win, lose or draw.
 The Travellers came within a jump of getting the deciding break in the ninth, but Dutch Bernsen made the jump and there was no break. wiln two gone in the ninth. Brown doupied and Boil walked. Wano hit fast one down the first base line.

 Brilliant work kept the Barons from winning in the ninth. Allen started with triple to right, but he was sun on third when the inning closed.
