manding lead over the naughty Volun-
teers and achieved an easy win, s to /
Omar Hardgrove held tho Vols well in
check with the bases populated, while the
Barons solved Breckenridge without APP
parent effort. Sensational fielding and
clever base running booste- the Baronic
totals, while four fast double plays en-
livened the one-sided battle.
A smart theft of home by Carroll in
the third session, added zest to the fight
while brilliant catches by the substitute
third sacker, Messenger and Lii Marcan
featured the defensive display. The
Barons accorded the foxy Hardgrove er-
rorless support while the Vols bobbled
twice for Breckenridge.
Initiating the battle by tally in the
first, the Volunteers held the lead but
for short period. for in the next ses-
session the Barons countered with two
tallies, increased the count to seven III
the third and closed the activities with a
lone tally in the seventh. When the Wis
itors gained access to the runways, Omas
Hardgrove frightened up and retired the
batsmen with his deceptive shoots, al
though the Baron aid society effected
three lightning double plays.

vray, who doubled Perry at first, and
retired the side.
Barons Surmount Lead
Surmounting the lead with duo of
tallies, the Barons forged to the front
in the second. McGilvray lined out to
center, but Mayer reached first when
I4indsay's recovery of his tumble was
tardy at first Carroll slapped a high
bounding grounder to the pitcher, but
Breckenridge barely tipped the flying pei
let and it ricocheted to Goalby, at second.
Attempting to kill Mayer at second,
kitty" hurled the pellet erratically to
Lindsay and ere the ball was forwarded
home, Mayer had spiked the platter. FL
lam's grounder advanced Carroll to third.

| leisure wind up Carroll sprinted with
the throw and reached home in safety
by a beautiful slide.
With reckless abandon, Hardgrove
disposed of the Vols in the following
session, while the Barons hammered
breckenridge offerings with apparent
zest and ease. With Messenger out in
the third round, Kniseley opened ac-
tivities with q dry liner to left gar
den. Following Mcbride, McGilvray,
Mayer, Carroll and ELAN delivered
with safe hits and sent four runs across
the plate, while Hardgrove's sacrifice
returned Carroll with tally.
Messenger Rocks Fence
Resting content with the overwhelm-
ing lead, Birmingham did not count
again until the seventh. Peppery Robert
Messenger connected with one of
Brackenridge's benders and straight
ened 1t out against right field fence for
triple. While Hardgrove and Marcan
had gone ont before the awful crash,
Kniseley singled to and sent Messen
ger home.
Although the battle was decided in
the early sessions the fast fielding of
the two aggregations, enlivened the
game. After McGilvray's double play in
the first, Marean retired the Volun-
teeers in the third when he captured
DaIeys grounder, threw Lindsay out
at second and Ellam's accurate peg
caught Jud at first. The Vols effected
their only double operation in the
eighth, when Goalby bagged Ellam's
roller, doubled Carroll at second and
Lindsay nipped ELAN at the initial
sack. The Volunteers threatened to cut
down the large lead in the ninth, when
Perry singled and Young walked.
Schwartz tapped a short fly past first
but Marcan nabbed it by a remarkable e
catch and foced Perry with a heave to
ELAN.
