The scores of the match, which was played before an eager crowd of more than 2.000. were 3-6. 6-2. 6-1. 7-5.

But the little. Californian seemed to grow stronger as the match went on. and by the middle of the sec ond set he was scoring almost as mans places as McLoughlin, Os the sixteen matches played in the singles tournamept yesterday,' fifteen in the fourth round and one in the third, twelve were decided in straight sets.

CRACKERS GOME ffltt TO EARTH; BEATBARONS Birmingham, ala , Aug 22. It was a happy lot of Crack ers who pulled out of here for Montgomery. Not because they set any worlds ablaze, but the fact that they toppled the leading Ba rons in the get-away contest of the series brought smiles to their long downcast faces. No, we are not telling an untruth when we declare the Atlantans beat Molesworth's tribe yesterday; and the count was 4 to 3. To Lyons should go the credit of winning the game and to Bailey for saving it. In the eighth inning, with Dllger perched on the third hassock and two down. Carroll took a vicious swijig and met one of Brady's straight balls. A line drive in the center field grove resulted, but Bailey made a wonderful catch of the ball and kept the tail-enders in the load. Lyons, whose hitting has been noticeable on account of its ab sence. hit through first and second with Callahan on third base. At the time of the swat the score was tied. Ellam had a big day in the field, accepting nine chances without an error and cutting off several run ners at first By wonderful and ac curate pegs. Callahan, who possesses a loan average of .245, fattened up yester day. securing three singles to right field. The Crackers stole bases at will during the early innings, while the Barons copped five off the mighty arm of Ham Reynolds.
