Nashville at Atlanta.
The Hurting Hun continued his winning
sequence at n merry clup, when the Look
outs slaughtered the offerings of Hurler
Sloan for Is safe crashes and scored eight
tallies. Registering his tenth straight
triumph the Pole had the Barons COM
pletely at his command, for had he been
accorded perfect support Moley's Grip
Piles would have been blanked. Endowed
with as much stuff as ornated Salome
on her premiere, the floating slants Of
Sloan were hammered unrelentlessly by
the CORY Lookouts.
The Lookouts pounced upon Sloan in
the opening round and rendered the
youngster groggy when Elston lifted the
pellet over the right field fence with
Coyle on the sacks. The decision was
gained in the second, when the Hurting
Hun smote the groaning horsehide over
the right field border again with Street
perched upon the cushions.
Possessing wonderful amount of
smoke and twists. the Biz Pole was never
in danger. Although the Barons amassed
six safeties off his delivery, the south
paw was as tight as a drum in the
pinches and would have extricated HIM
self without a score had he been prop
erly supported. Seven Barons whitfield
before the mighty Pole, while the left
handed swingers were handcuffed by his
hook
Barons Fight Crippled
Palsied by the absence of Mcdonald
and Kniseley, the Barons presented a
fimsy front to the triumphant Pole.
Thompson was substituted in right gar
den, while Messenger was shifted to CEN
ter in the place of the injured Kniseley.
Marcan gamely held his station at Sec
ond despite a damaged wing. while Car
roll remained at McDonalds position on
third.
A fusillade of safe crashes gave the
Lookouts a commanding lead in the OPEN
ing round. Flick singled smartly to cen-
ter, while Coyle repeated to left with a
keen crash, sending Flick 10 third. Ell
berfeld hoisted a fly to Thompson, who
attempted to double Flick at the rubber,
but his heave sailed erratically home,
and Flick tailed while Coyle moved up
to third. On choice Offering, Curt Ell
ston raised the pellet over the right field
fence and cleared the cushions of their
animated courier.
The weakened Barons registered two
safe drives with two out in the first, but
the Pole rallied and retired Mayer on
strikes. "Gabby' Street pried open the
second round with a sizzling liner to
left, but died when Graft rolled to Ellan,.

Pole Raves on Bone
The temperamental Pole raved in the
third when Mayer scored after two were
down. The Baron receiver hit terrific

Kid captured the bounder and just missed
Walter at first Carroll was passed, thus
forcing Mayer to second. Ellam bound
ed to Flick, who bobbled on the chance
and then hurled to second a little late
for ELAN. The close decision dissatisfied
the 'Noogan infielder, and while he dis
cusseu the point at issue quite vigorously
with Umps Wright, Mayer sneaked home
with counter. Disguised at the proyok-
ing spectacle, the towering Pole went
into the heights end landed on earth by
tossing his glove about the diamond.
Sloan recovered from the siege of the
Lookouts during the next two rounds

anew in the fifth with two out. Elberfeld
