pitching by Phil Morrison kept the Memphis Chicks from winning their dozenth straight ball game Satur- day afternoon at the Wood. And, as . consequence of these oomplica- tions setting in (which Is one of the best little things complications do), the Barons triumphed by the hair line margin of 6-4.
 If one Is to so into details 1t might be mentioned, too, that the Chicks, all nervous in their attempt to set a new consecutive win record for the season, went far towards trying to present the Barons with the ball game. making five miscues during the afternoon. Tommy McMillan, who is usually super steady. contrib uted two of the pebbles, while Me- Larry. Huber and Pond got ono each ert of their systems.
 Phil Wins Thirteenth
 Sir Philip Morrison. who chslked his thirteenth win of the season. went into the ball game with the score al against him. He relieved Lefty Whitehiu in the fourth after the Chicks had knocked Whitey into in- sensibility. For five and two-thirds innings Big Phil cut loose bswfi- dering hook before tho visitors. all lowing but three hits and one run for tho r6mainder of the game. the one tally resulting in a successful eff fort by MT. Camp to lift the ball over the right field wall in the eighth inning.
 The game was started and fin- ished in a drizzle, a snappy thunder and rain storm playing a nine-in- ming engagement about 100 yards to the southwest of Redwood all through the game. At times the lightning seemed so close at hand that Monsieur Red Henegar in an effort to save matches tried to reach out and light his cigarette off the tail-end of forked streaks of crude electricity. The field wasn't any too fast. and the ball became slippery at times, but in spite of these handi- caps the fans saw . good game
 onion Robertson saved the day for the Birmingham forces in the aixth inning. The Barons entered the last half of this frame with the score standing s-a against 'sm. They haven't contracted any great habit of coming from behind this year, and the fans had about givon tho game up for lost Johnny Noun started tha inning off with a rffle-shot line drive headed for the walls in right. Camp, who was playing against the fence, propped one foot against the palings for support. so that the ter rifle clout wouldn't knock him down. and speared it. Doctor Silva plastered out hts second hit for tho day. . ground ball over second. and Jesse Burkett also came through with his second safe wallop. Doc and Jesse then worked the double steal to perfection, while Robby was up. This bit of daring se-running placed men on third and second. with only one down. Robby selected groove special and cracked 1t over third for three bases. the ball stop ping at the fence. and Silva and Burkett romping homo Morrison 2 grounded out to end the inning, and the Barons had one-run lead.
 Each team scored ono tally In the first frame. Burke and MoMillan, , the first two men up, greeted White hill with singles and MoLarry forced NcMiilan at second, going safe on q fielders choice. This placed Burke on third and McLarry on first. Mo- LArry dashed for second. Robby whipped the ball to the keystone, and Burkett returned 1t home, but the throw was late and Burke and McLarry had effected . deuble-steal  for . score.
 Kane led off for the Barons first with a grounder to McMillan and Tommy's throw to first was bad, Kane going safe. Harper sacrificed him to second, and he rode home on Bump Clarke's pinch triple to deep center. Tommy Taylor, who split tho fingers that gave him trouble last year, while he was taking his work, and who may be forced to TO- tire from the game for several days, owing to tho injry. slapped . groundsr to short and Tommy Mc- Milan cut Stump Clarke off at tho plate, with a beautiful throw Taylor was safe on . fielder's choice. but was out trying to steal. and the in- ming came to a close.

 The Chicks duplicated their stunt In the second frame and grabbed off . one-run lead. After Camp had flied out to start the inning. Critx waited Whitehill out and got . base on balls. Pond singled into left and Zahnizer dumped a dinky grounder to third. Tommy elected to get the man coming in to third, but mis- judged his distance. He then wheeled for throw to second, changed his mind. looked at first and saw the
