Baron pennant aspirations were tenn porarily cast adrift yesterday after noon by Floyd Krob, Bill Schwartz and company In one of the scrappiest games of the season. the final count being z to 0. The game was featured by n Stark, field pilot of the Vols, and Bur leigh Grimes, star BarOnIal twirier. and came near becoming a free-for-aI battle.
 Kroh had the Barons at his mercy throughout the battle and not once did a member of the Baron clan perch him self on third. Only two Barons essayed as far as the keystone, these being FL lam and Magee. Of the four scattered hits the Barons gathered off Kroh's de- livery, Bill Lindsay secured two. As for Grimes, during the six innings that he stayed on the mound, he allowed three safeties.
 In the third the Vols started the fire works. Old reliable Gabby Street. lead off with clean drive to left but was held al first. After two unsuccessful at tempts to sacrifice Street, Kroh lit slow grounder to Carroll. Street was easily forced at second. but a close de. cision from Umpire OToole killed a double play. Dave Callahan found Grimes invincible and the best that Dave could do was to tap an easy roller toward first. Grimes felded the rap per fectly and Callahan went out at first However, the Vol twirler advanced to second on the play and moment later scored the first counter of the game on Dolly Starks single to center On the throw to the plate which was bit tardy, the old captain easily reached second. Baker was an easy out. This ended the scoring until the seventh.
 BarOns Have Chance
 The Barons had only one chance to count With two down in the third, Ma see singled cleanly to left and reached second on the next ball when Lindsay secured his second safety driving the pill to Baker. Fast fielding held the Baron gardener at second. Tod Sloan hit the ball on the nose and fortunately for the Vols, it went straight at Shee- han, the Vol keystoner, for an out
 With one down in the sixth Toderick singled over short but perished there as the next two batters fell victims to the visiting portwheelers crossfire In the fifth seventh and eighth the Bar cns failed to reach first. In the ninth, with the wrecking crew up, Kroh con- tinued his steady pitching. Sloan bunted in front of the plate and was an easy out at first. Mickey Coyie was awarded free transportation, but was forced at second on Coombs measly grounder to kroh. However, with Captain Roy at tic bat the prospects for scoring grew. of a but the best the fielding fiend could dc was a hard drive to Sheehan, who easily threw the Baron captain out at first and ended the fracas.
 Grimes in Form
 Az for the Vols, outside of the third, they were easy victims to Crimes spit ter Preacher Perryman assumed the pitching burden after Grimes had been banished. Perryman twirled good ball for the three innings that he graced the mound. The run that was scored off his delivery was due to a wild peg by Hale. who attempted to catch Shee- han stealing third. The peg went into left field and the Vol keystoner had no trouble in scoring. In the seventh, Farmer lead off with a single to left. Sheehan bunted to Perryman and when Charlie Carroll dropped his perfect throw, all hands were safe. Farmer was forced at third when Dodge hit grounder to Perryman. With first and second occupied a double steal was at tempted and George Hale begged tp Cecil Coombs instead of Bill Lindsay. Terryman then took the affairs into his own hands and the next two Vols were retired on strikes.
 Outside of the fielding of Ellam. who made some wonderful stops. and the Nemall incident between Grimes and Stark, the game was indeed a dull af- 1air.
