Sloan Fields Sensationally

Sensational fielding by Sloan featured the game. In the third inning Marcan slapped line drive to deep right field and 1t seemed a certain double or triple The Vol right fieldsr started W th the crash of the bat toward the fence. While his agile efforts seemed he continued and extended his gloved hand in the air. His capricious stab just met the flight of the ball and arrested r. on finger tips. The tremendous crowd, mostly of the delicate sex, gave the Vol loud round of applause as he re- turned from the field. In the seventh his shoestring catch of Robertson's wallop prevented a tie. Both stops were highly sensational
 After four barren sessions the Vols scored in the fifth. Lindsay singled to right but went out at second when Covington killed Bergers sacrifice. A wild pitch allowed Berger to offset the loss of the sacrifice. Callahan was walked. King hit a fast grounder to Ellam, who quickly forced Callahan with a peg to Marcan The second sacker ventured to double King at first but his throw was low and was muffed by Covington. During the mis- hap Berger scored.
 In the sixth, B1rmlnBnatn, Witu tNo ont threatened Stewart drew a pass. Carroll scored the first hit off Berger. when his sizzling grounder struck Der ger and bounded toward third. Kniselys batting averages shrun< for high foul fly to Gibson followed. Clyde Mcbride aroused hope In the next inning by trip ling to the sunfield. after Covington had grounded out Ellam walked. The famous squeeze play was ventured, but Di1ger's hn, dirartlV into PalllaftR glove and Mcbride was thrown out at the plate easily.
 Boobies Lose Game
 Boobies gave Nashville victory in the eighth Callahan led off by beating out a bunt, which neither Robertson nor Covington fielded. King bunted to Car roll who escaped the feat of nipping Callahan at second. He threw low to Ellam and both runners advanced a base. Sloan drove neat bounder to Ellam. With a feinting movement toward third, Callahan was checked. Ellam underesti- mated Sloans speed and before he could peg the outfielder was atop the sack. But King was off second so Ellam made a snap throw to Marcan, which was not stopped and both Callahan and King tal- lied. Paulette popped out to Marcan, but Gibson bounded grounder over Covington and Sloan scored.
 Robertson weakened after this disaster. Hemingway doubled to left. Williams bingled to the same field and Gibson scored. Lindsay flew out, but Berger singled to Knisely, sending Hemingway over with the fifth and final run.
 Content with the six runs and the savory flavor of his immense quid, Der ger sclackened his pace in the eighth. Stewart singled. after Marcan had gone out. Carroll repeated to right, but Stew art, crippled by the force of Bergers wild pitch in the first, was checked at second. Extraordinary measures to re- coup started at this Juncture, for Maeee relieved Stewart at second base. Knisely hit a high bounding grounder through the pitchers box, but Williams made a lucky. stab at it and forced Carroll at second. Although Birmingham was six runs in the rear. Knisely stole second. ''Tex" Covington prevented Berger from registering a shutout by scoring a sharp single to left field, giving Magee and Knisely scores. Covington advanced to second on Kings throw to catch Knisely at the plate and scored on McBride's wallop to left Ellam struck out and the rally ceased.
