The Vols an- ncunced yesterday morning the addition of Glen Liebhardt via the waiver route The new acquisition may easily be termed "a battle-sc arred veteran
 When Liebhardt reports, Schwartz hurling corps will be composed of Heinie Berger, Bernie Roland, Forest More Liebhardt and Floyd .Sroh. While kroh is the youngest of ehe quartet, he could hardly escape 20 yeara. Heinie Berger and Forest More are existing under the il firmities of 40 years While Liebhardt has not reached these years, he could hardly be divorced from B.
 Strangely the veterans have pitched strongly at Nashville Forest More, se- cured from the Lookouts last year, has proved 2 mainstay, while Heinie Berger, purchased from Mobile, has several low hi. games to his credit. Kroh, another Chattano oga castoff. mas done well, but has not starred. Renfers brilliant ac- co:nplishment yesterday may mean his passing.
 Those Vols are but one point rearward of the Barons and should overhaul them before Moley's henchmen return. The Nashville club has nearly b consecutive genes on Sulphur Dell The purchase of Liehhardt probably resulted from Schwartz failure to secure a pitcher from the St. Louis American club.

ES FFECT1VE work on the part of American league tossers have AA worked a hardship on many of the aspiring sluggers in that circuit, al- though the baseball season is rapidly nearing the half way post. hefty sons of swat are still travelling a rocky path. Players in the past who have paster the ball for averages towering far above the 300 mark are finding trouble this season in nosing inside of that figure.
 This state of affairs is not confined only to Ben Johnsons organization but Is also prevalent in the National But. at that the players in the older organi- zation are having much more success than their brethren in the American.
 Up until last week only seven Ameri- can leaguers were able to wallop the ball 300 or better while in the National IS got above. Since then four additional players in the American have attained the magic swattlng circle as also have a quintet in the National.
 
 A surprising feature ill the American league batting race was that up until last week neither Eddie Collins of the Athletics, Iris Speaker of the Red Sox, nor Clyde Milan of the Nationals were able to meet with the success necessary to place them on 300 pinnacle. Since then. however, the trio has managed to squirt forward and anchor themselves over the line.
 In the National the continued slump of Sherwood Magee of the Phillies and the repeated failure of the mighty Hans Wag- ner of the Pirates to hit his regular gait has caused much comment. Magee started off with a rush and for a time topped all of his colleagues with an av- craze well above 400 Of late though, he has been in a slump and gradually

 Harbin is willing to go to Texas. How ever, he desires to recover from the strenuous role of relief man and will tarry few days. He can be placed with several minor league teams, but admits that he has fondness for Texas. Magee has already departed to join the Utica club in the New York State league.

 Ralph Works was sent to the firing line by Manager Finn and for six innings pitched the tightest kind of ball The only opportunity offered the Barons to score was killed when Allison cut down

 But in that awful eighth the newcomer lest command of the sphere and be- fore Lefty Merritt had been sent to his relief Ralph had presented the oppos- ton with two bases on balls. yielded a hit and hit Dilger with an cratic heave. The total result of Works generosity was one run with three Barons on the bases and nobody out.
