With old Boreas nipping and nipping
out of the north, the Vols hung a gaff
in the side of the Barons in the tenth
round. The local cock was counted out.
The score was to 2.
Despite the cold, the players per-
formed well their respective roles. The
fans. despite their overcoats and the
absence of the juice which cheers, how
ever cold the afternoon. enjoyed them
! selves. That is, until the tenth In
that inning the bite of Boreas became
| too vicious to endure and the fans woke
up to the fact that they had acted very
unwisely in leaving firesides to attend
a baseball game.
| In the tenth, Fittery spoiled his pre-
vious excellent work by too hurried
i and therefore too wild heave to Sec
ond. This proved to- be his undoing.
Daley sneaked a bingle which, under
ordinary circumstances, ELAN would
have nabbed.
Mayer Does Fine Work
But it Is unnecessary to wall after
the milk has been spilled, or to lock
the stable door following the depar-
turc cf the stced The &: me was a
good one. When the fan remembers
the variety of weather offered by the
gods, the game was a wonder. Fittery
showed marvellous form throughout
er, but managed equally as we'll to keep
the bingles scattered. The fielding, as
a whole, was excellent.
The feature work of the game was
done by Mayer, the Baron catcher. He
faced the Vol sharpshooter four times
and on each occasion got away with
credit. His first effort was sacrifice
His next resulted in a bingie. He then
threw in double, apd later another
bingle for extraordinary measure Ne
Bride was the hitter in the pinches, for
it was on his bingles that both Baron
runs were scored.
Three men were caught sound asleep
on bases. ELAN fell victim on sec
ond and Beck nipped Mcbride at first
Fittery in the first, caught Callahan
flat-footed.
The See-Saw Innings
AS on Friday, yesterday the Vols
made a quick getaway. Daley opened
with a triple, and Goalby's sacrifice
fly sent him home. In their half of the
same inning the Barons scored. Mar
can went safe when Schwartz booted
his bounder. Messenger. on the hit and
run, sent him to second. He stole third
and scored on a luscious swat by Nc
| Bride.
In the third. the Barons took the lead.
With one down, Messenger singled,
took second ON an out. and scored on
the second hit of Mcbride. X
! In the sixth, the visitors evened up
the count Daley opened with walk
and Goalby followed with double to
center. Callahan popped to third. Per-
ry. however. flied to Bodus. and Daley
scored.
/. From that time on the game ragged
nip and tuck, with neither side having
q decided advantage. The ninth passed
without momentous incident Schwartz
| reached first on a base on balls and
second on wild pitch. But he could
not score Carroll, with one down,
singled. but Ellam's swat was turned
into a double play.
That Fatal Heave
In the tenth Ludwig opened with a
single Beck made a miserable sacri-
| flee, but how well it worked only fur
ther reading will demonstrates. Fittery
fielded the bunt on the first hop and
heaved to Ellam 1t looked simple.
But as the shortstop reached for the
ball, 1t took an upward fIight--so an
cry was old Boreas yesterday-and flied
| to- centerfield. Ludwig raced to third.
Bodus, when Beck attempted to add n
base on account of the error, threw the
runner out at second.
So third was occupied and only one
was down. Daley then relieved the
agony.- His bounder. with ELAN play
/ ing on the grass, easily got away. Lud-
wig scored Goalby forced Daley at
second. Callahan singled to Bodus and
Goalby was killed at third
The Barons started under the roar OF
the fans to even up the score agail,.
Mayer opened with single. Senno,
batting for Fittery, put the runner
down to second. Messenger was inten-
