on the runways Southpaw Foxen, with
slight inclination toward wildness was
effective, but the two mighty crashes by
Schwartz and Goalby-with one cushion
occupied--worked his downfall in trim
fashion. Speeding to the remote parts
of deep center field, the two drives We're
driven beyond recall in time to~head off
the runners.
Bob Messengers wonderful fielding
probably saved the opening battle for
the Barons, and worked to good advan-
tage in the fierce fight of the latter game.
Leading by one run, the Vols threatened
to deadlock the score in the fifth ses-
sion, but an unerring peg to the platter
cut down Gibson and saved the day for
the Barons. In the second game Mes
senger captured the most difficult chances
and cavorted on the cushions like start
led deer.
Peter kniseley made a difficult catch
in the center garden during the opening
fray, when he landed Gibsons terrific
liner near the center field partition in
the seventh inning. But the most SEN
sational catch was effected by Charlie
Carroll when he made a one-handed stab
of Noyes' foul in the third session.
remarka BILE double play was registered
during the second inning of the second
battle by Lii Marcan. Perry had been
walked and Young attempted to advance
him around the circuit by a neat sacr-
flee. The sacrifice took slight elevation
and it seems as though McGilyray would
gobble 1t up. Running in too fast to
check his speed McGilvray failed to land
the tap. disappointing Perry. Hugging
the sack to avoid a double. Perry started
for second but Marcan bagged the little
flyer on the bound, tagged Perry and
stepped on first, completing a double
homicide.
The first of the two abbreviated bouts
WAS staged in an hour and four minutes.
The only run of the sparkling exhibition
was marked when Mcbride took daring
chance and won. Opening the third ses-
sion with safe wallop to center. Nc
Bride rounded first and saw that Calla-
han expected him to slacken his speed.
But onward spurted the sunfielder and
when the startled gardener saw the spec
tacle he became dazzled and heaved Wild
ly to second. Large William McGilvray
proved equal to the occasion and sacrificed
him to third. Repeating his previous per-
formances, Receiver Walter Mayer deliv-
cred with timely double to the right
field pasture and Won a beautiful game.
Advancing runners to third base in the
third and fifth innings did not feaze the
elongated Prough, for Bill took yank
in his trousers. turned on the speed and
left the Volunteers in sloughs of despair.
But had not Messenger made perfect
peg to the plate in the fifth inning after
capturing Lindsays hy and doubled Glib
son at the plate, the Baron twirIer would
not have won his third straight victory.
Flushed by the brilliant shut out, the
Barons began early to gather runs to
prepare for second victory and a clean
sweep of the series. Sending his newly
acquired moundsman. Forest More, to do
slab duty for the Vols against South
paw Foxen, Manager Schwartz rallied his
cohorts and prepared for The siege.
The Barons scored in the third session
after two threatening attempts to register
in the first and second Ellam punched a
two bagger to left field. when the ball
bounded over the gardeners dome. Foxen
burted and landed safely ON first when
Goaiby dropped a return of the slap. Mar

ELAN cavorted across the rubber. Foxen
rested at first on the play and advanced
to second when Messenger drew pass.
However, Kniseley and Mcbride failed TO
deliver and the activities were stopped

battle. Bill Schwartz hit line drive to
unexplored regions in center field and
scored Perry before him on his tour of the
cushions
