 Old Heinie Berger opened the series for Nashville and he had the Barons al- most completely buffaloed, yielding but four hits, all coming in the last three in nings The Barons pounded his delivery rather hard, but their drives always went into the hands of some waiting fielder.
 Curley Brown opposed the veteran Berger. and although he allowed nine hits, managed to keep them we'll scat tered and pull out of bad holes, with the exception of the fourth, when the visitors scored their lone tally
 In spite of the few scores registered the game was rather slowly played and had it not been for the constant prodding of Scott Chesnut, the players would have allowed the contest to have dragged along for sometime longer.
 Chesnutt offieiated behind the bat and handled the indicator with good iudg- ment. The local people demanded too much for him. however and when he delivered a decision against the Barons that was close there was some murmur of 6iscontent. But there was very little of this and considering all things the local boy gave satisfaction.
 Chesnutt on Alert
 Chesnutt was on the alert in giving his
  enough for the fans in all parts of the stands to hear. He constantly urged the players to work faster and brooked no argument from them as it only served to kill time.
 Only three extra base hits were made and two of them were for three bags. Knisely recorded one and Sloan the other Strike outs were numerous, Berger van quishng 10 and Brown seven.
 Both teams threatened in the first wifi h no success. Callahan started for the Vols, pol<ing a single into right after two were down. He stole second. but died there when Sloan hit to Brown and was thrown out at the first cushion.
 Following McDonald's grounder to short, Marcan pushed roller to Williams at second who fumbled and allowed Mar can to reach first. Stewart sacrificed him to second, bunting to third base. Knsely was given free transportation, but Magee closed the round by striking out.
 Although the Vols were able to hit Brown in every one up until the seventh 1t was only in the fourth that they could make them count for anything. Sloan laid the foundation for tally by open ing with a three-ba gger to right. Gibson struck out and Hemingway hoisted a sacrifice fly into right field, enabling Sloan to journey home Paulette singled to center and stole second but got no further as Lindsay fell a victim to Curley on strikes.
 The Vols. attempted to put over an- other counter in the fifth but their ef- forts fell short of the mark.
 King, following Berger's out, blingled to left, but was caught stealing second Williams hit to Brown, who threw wild to first and the Vol second sacKer went all the way to third before he was headed. Callahan ended matters by flying out to Magee.
 Outside of the sixth the Barons had only one other opportunity in the latter part Of the contest to score. This came in the eighth, when knsely tripled to right after Marcan and Stewart had both struck out. The best Magee could do was to hoist fly to Hemmingway at third, bringing the Barons' turn at the bat to a close in the half. In the ninth they did not go to the plate.
 Brown caught Gibson off first ba se neatly in the sixth The Vol. receiver got on base through fielder's choice. After trying several times to catch him off, Brown pretended to turn toward the box and as Gibson stepped off the bag whip ped the ball to Covington. Gibson was blocked from going back to first: so he started to second, where he was easily killed.
 Stewart made a good catch in the ninth of short hit off Hemingway bat be- tween center and right. Gibson was or base and the hit appeared safe, but Stew. art by a fast sprint gathered it in.
