Chattanooga at Nashville
Memphis at Mobile.
Nashville, June s.-tSpecial.)-With a
Sudden drop in the temperature, the Vols
and Barons hustled around today and
pulled off a wild, free-hitting contest,
both teams knocking out a pitcher, the
Schwartzmen finally winning to G. al
though the Barons fought game, uphill
battle to overcome the Vols early lead
Fast fielding kept the score as low as
it was.
Manager Schwartz had perfect day at
bat, hitting safely on every one of his
five times up and being responsible for
five of the Vols scores. Lii Marcan, for
the visitors, got three hits, walked once
and famed once. Hardgrove was ham
mered numerically for 10 safeties, one a
circuit clout by Del Young to open the
second, which took all the starch out of
the Barons' twirler. Soan's splitter re-
fused to work in the frlgid weather and
the runs he allowed were responsible for
the Baronial downfall. Beck was given
a lacing, but Fleharty's pinch pitching
saved the game.
Birmingham gained the lead in the first
inning, putting over a run after Gala
han had misjudged Marcans fly which
went for double. Messenger sacrificed
him along and Lii scored on McDonald's
sacrifice fly. Callahan opened the Vols
half by bouncing q two-sacker off the
right field fence, but the next three were
easy for Hardgrove, Cally dying at the
keystone.
Vols Bunch Hits
The Vols knocked the wadding out of
Hardgrove in the second, punching four
long drives, which were good for a trio
of runs. Young opened with his homer,
clearing the right field fence by 10 feet.
Schwartz singled to left and was sacri-
feed by Goalby, while Gibson shot a
liner into right, scoring Schwartz, and
came home while Kniseey was fddling
with Becks wallop through the box.
With two out in the third Marcan
walked and crossed the plate on Messen-
gers triple to deep center. After Daley
had famed in the Vols half, Perry was
passed and when Youngs third strike
resulted in a wild pitch Clayt raced to
third and Del reached first. Schwartz
squeezed Perry in, the bunt being out
of McGilvray's reach
Two singles In the fifth netted the Vols
another tally. Perry pushed one over
second, was sacrificed by Young and
Schwartz slam through short sent him
home. Big Bill McGilyray got Gibson $
liner and doubled Goalby, who had
walked.
Dumb Work Hurts
Dumb work on the paths robbed the
Barons of at least one score in the sixth,
when they lammed Beck for three hits,
but could only produce one run. Mcbride
pried the frame open with a slashing
three-sacker beyond the scoreboard, but
Lindsay held him at the third station on
McGilvray's grounder. Mayer drove the
left fielder home with a Texas Lacquer
back of second, but took too long a lead
off first and Becks snap throw killed
him. ELAN followed with a long double
to the dump. but Lindsay captured Hard
groves hard fly.
Three clean hits and two infield
scratches boosted the Vol total two more
runs in the eighth, and marked the fin
ish of Hardgrove. Sloan, who was rushed
to the rescue, got the sacks full, but Mar
can grabbed Callahan's grounder for the |
last out. After Kniseley, by marvellous |
one-handed stab high on the Dump had |
robbed Daley of a triple; Perry showed a |
single over first base. He and Young |
worked the hit and run and on Ders |
hingle to right CLAY reached third |
Hardgrove was yanked, Schwartz and |
Perry again worked the squeeze play. al |
though the decision at the plate was very
close, and it looked as if McGilvrav's |
throw had smothered Perry Goalby |
again forced Young at third. but Gibson |
drove a single to center sending Schwartz |
over. Beck batted out an infeld hit but |
Callahan could do nothing.
Fleharty to Rescue
Four singles in rapid succession in the |
eighth. with base on balls mixed in, |
caused Beck to retire, and brought Fle- |
harty and his bean ball into the affair
With three runs registered nobody out |
and runner first and second File |
harty stopped the SCORING. driving ELAN
back from the pan with his beaner. While |
he put over three strikes on Roy for the |
third out
Marcan drove one through Perry to |
start, Messenger singled to the dump
pushing Lii to third, from which he scored |
on Mcdonald grasscutter through short |
Kniseley walked and with the sacks |
jammed McBrdes sizzling hit into center |
scored Messenger and Mcdonald. Knse- |
ley taking second. McGilvray sacrificed
both runners, but Mayer fouled to
Schwartz and ELAN whitfield.
With the Barons crowding them only
one run behind. the Vols got busy and
put over two runs on Lindsay's walk

sacrifice Perry's sacrifice. Youngs in
field out, and Schwartz Texas leaguer

single to left and although Fleharty
swatted Mcdonald and Kniseley, Mcbride
failed in the pinch, by grounding to Lind
say.
