GAMES TODAY. Nashville in Memphis. Montgomery in New Orleans.
BY HARLAN r. M'DANlEL.

 The Turtles pitted their old army game against daring, aggressive baseball and lost out The score was to in each contest and the score was exactly n- dicative of yesterdays comparative abil- ity of the rival cellar squads. The sec ond game was called at the end of the seventh by agreement. The Barons stay over in Memphis Sunday to witness the Red Elm combat between the Volunteers and the Turtles.
 By mopping with yesterdays double header Molesworths squad made a clean sweep of the series and forced Babb' s hapless bunch so low they'll hardly dream of ever seeing daylight.
 Dickson was opposed to Fritz in the first and the Baron heaver clearly out pitched the local southpaw at critical points.
 In the second game Queisser's support deserted him in the second inning and three Barons tallied, settling the fray then and there Grant Schopp was hit fairly hard in this contest, but the Bar on side-wheeler was always in control after the first.
 The Game Begins.
 Fritz was hard hit right from the jump in the first fray. In the first inning a nifty double saved him. In the first in ming Moley tore off his first of six hits in the double header It was a sharp drive past Wheeler. Then Raftis dupli- cated with poke over Babbs head. Me Gilvray punched to Babb and a speedy double play followed.
 The Turtles went down in order in that inning Babb dying stealing after being hit on the muscles of his left leg. In the second came the "blow-off" It wasn' t delayed until the finish this time.
 Gygli tapped to Babb and the man ager made a mess of it. Henline's roller to Fritz killed the first-sacker at second. Noah swiped the middle station. Kane clipped in with a long single to right center and Noah tailed Paddy took sec ond while Andy Bowen's bunt was be- ing handled to first by the heaver. Dick son slapped to right and Baerwald made runner some 'steen feet but Hurlburt let the ball roll by and Kane put his No. Ills on the counter. Ellam ended the festivities by succumbing to Fritz's ben ders.
 The Turtles tried to get busy them selves in their half of the second. Gran ston beat out a slow roller to Raftis and and Eddie Wheeler rolled to right. O'Leary failed in an attempted sacrifice, Dickson forcing Wee" Bill at third and Shields and Hurlburt were dead ones, Bowen robbing Ed of a hit by one hand stab of his line drive
 Fine Work of Raftis.
 Singles by McGilvray and Gygl were wasted in the third as two had been buried. Bill Raftis saved the day for the Barons in the Turtles half of this in ming. An error by Wild" Bill gave Fritz life at first "Baercat' forced him and Manager Babb's single to right sent the "Cat" hustling to third. It was up to Coulson, and Swede Robbie responded with a ripping liner headed for the left field hill. Wild Bill stepped into the air fopped out one paw, the ball stuck, and as he came back to earth with one foot on third there was no chance for the 1 "Cat" to avoid a double. There was no excitement in the fourth Fritz being the only man to get on, and his infield hit came after two were embalmed, but in the fifth came another Baron tally, Moleys right field two-timer and Me Givrays single doing the work. No more fun occurred until the seventh. Raftis' double came after two outs and amounted to nothing, but the Turtles woke up the stands in their half. After Moley had raced under Wheeler's long liner, OLeary pasted to left field. Charley Shields perambulated. Hurlburt lined a low drive over Andy Bowens unstretched mits and faithful Dan tallied, but Fritz famed and McGilvray captured Baer- wald's fly after a long sprint. Daring of GygIi.
 The Barons got that back in the eighth on a daring piece of work by Gygli. He opened with a single and went to the midway booth on wild heave. Henline whiffed Then while Fritz sleep fly held the ball Gygli hoofed |. it for third Cries of the bleachers warned the past Wheeler, Gygl coming on home with the fourth and last Baron tally.
 The Turtles postponed their rally until the ninth, and then 1t was too late. O'Leary opened with a single and was safe at second when Bowen dropped Henline's heave. Shields walked and Hurl- burt singled to left. That filled the bags. Fritz bounded to Dickson, who forced OLeary at the pan, and Kane's relay grabbed the pitcher at first. Baer- wald followed with safety, scoring Shields, but Babb's wicked grounder was cared for by Ellam and the game was over.
 The Second Begins.
