 The opening bout ambled into the extra beginning to end. It was hitting con test, and practically every participant smacked his binge. In the first inning of the second game, More was hammered from the box, and Demaree, who sue ceeded was easily located. In order that darkness might not render it impossible to play five innings, the Barons, after sewing up the victory, made no effort to circle the sacks. Tannehill was strong, and when darkness, after five and half innings, put an end to the engagement, the veteran was still serving his famous foaters with tantalizing effect.
 The feature of the first game was the sll-round work of Barr He pitched well, fielded his position well, got two hits, scored two runs and did other things. The feature of the second was the terrific swatting of the locals. In the first in- ming. the Barons faced opposing pitchers 12 times, Marcau, with two hits to his credit, getting the bulk of the honors. The First Game
 In the first game, the Lookouts, after the very beginning, held one-run lead until the ninth inning. Then they put one other run across and it looked as if the Barons were doomed. But in 'the ninth the Barons hammered two across. Tn the tenth, Barr weakened and the visitors sewed up the battle with another | brace of tallies.
 Barr made the first Baron run. He opened the third with a triple. and when the ball was returned badly by Moran, he started home. Benton hit him in the back, and he scored. In the fifth, the Lookouts put three across. With North ern and Sentelle on sacks, Murch tripled and he scored moment later on a cutter Of Moran. The Barons got their second run in the sixth.
 Johnson opened with a single and went to second on Lejeunes error. On Yantz' short hit to right he took third and scored on an infield out. The fourth run of Chattanooga happened in the ninth after two were down. Northern had oc- cupied first on flelders choice and had stolen when Sentelle hit one too hot for Barr to handle. On the carom, Northern scored In the ninth, Elliott opened with a single through Sentelle, and Barr ripped one to center From third, Elliott scored on Marcan's out. On the hit and run, Molesworth pushed one mile a minute | to left, and Barr counted.
 But the joy of the fans was short lived, for as a result of the terrific grind under which he had labored and his sprintng over the field, Barr's strength was prac- | tically gone when he faced the Lookouts in the tenth. sIIe walked Lejeune, who was sacrificed. Higgins scored him on a hit to center, and Higgins was scored by Nebbngers hit to left. The Barons were helpless in their half. Had they played good ball in the first, when Mar can opened with triple and later Me Bride singled and stole, there might have been another story.
