the ball away. On this wild heave to first Silva raced home with tally No ?.
 CHICKS SCORE
 The Chicks registered their first mark CT in the first of the sixth. With one down, Camp camped on the trail of fast one and slammed it down the groove for couple of hassocks. Me Larry was an infield out but Rhino Williams, heralded as the Chicks best hitter, but who had gone hitless through the series, waded in one for a blow to the walls in deep left. Rhino stopped aon third, Camp crossing the plate with the first Chick marker
 1 The Barons half of the sixth was a wild and woolly half inning, and wound up by the announcement from Umps Tandy that Manager Abbott was playing the game under protest Dutch Bern- sens lead card in this frame was a two bagger to the port side Clarke fol- irwed with grounder to first but Silva singled and Dutch went over to third Gooch waited the pitcher out and got a pass, this generous move on the part 1 of the pitcher filling the bases. Newton was up and three balls and two strikes l had been called. As the pitcher was winding up for the next pitch Dutch Bernsen started for home, the offering was declared ball and the catcher i applied a tag to Bernie.
 l umps Handy called Dutch out. and i'm mediately howl went up from the Ra- rons. Tandy claimed the pitcher had not been on the rubber Bernsen claimed he had, and they took the matter to a board of arbitration made up of Dan Pfenning- | CT, the base umpire. Dan asserted the man had been on the rubber, Umps Tandy reversed his decision, called the offering a ball, sent Newton to first, and called ! Bernsen safe at home. At this juncture 1 Spencer Abbott rushed out and excitediy announced to the umpire that he would play the game under protest
 Many of the fans got the idea that a l balk had been called and that Newton was awarded first base because of the | balk but of course the batter does not gain base, when a balk has been com mitted Had it been called balk. Bernie would have scored, but the ball woulI have been dead, forcing the pitcher te 1 give Newton one more ball.
 STEWART SINGLES
 Following all this hulabaloo, Stuffs Stewart spanked one to left field for a Texas leaguer and Silva and Gooch romped home with two more tallies, send- ! ing the Baron total to five. Fowlkes was junked here, and Chambers was sent in, the Barons negotiating the remain der of the stretch without doing further i damage.
 In the ninth. with Newton weakening the Chicks threatened. and really were successful in putting across one. run though their rally fell short. Doc re- tired the first two men to face him and with the inning two-thirds gone, it looked | like he would have easy sailing. Hen. drix, however, singled and stole second riding home on Dowie's safe drive | Hungling was sent in to pinch hit, and ! Newton lost control of the ball for s moment walking him.
 I STEWART'S GREAT STOP
 Then, with two on, one of the greatest thrills of the game came. Andy High shot scorching groundel back of sec ond, which looked like sure hit Stuff I fly Stewart dove for the ball, made re- markable running stop and while still | off balance, he tossed the ball to Tray nor at second for the third out and the end of the game.
 Traynor and Silva were the hitting smith got two healthy doubles and a | while Silva spanked out triple and a single out of three efforts. Camp and | Hendrix did the stick work for the visi- tors. each getting two safe blows out Of four trials.
 The Chicks and Barons shipped out ot Birmingham Saturday night for Memphis where they play Sunday game. Fol lowing this affair the Moleys journey on over to Little Rock to tackle the Kid ders. Frenick will probably oppose Tuero
