With one down, Fred Derrick singled past second and went to the keystonE on Sheehan error. Emil Meusel counted him with a drive to the left field bleachers that netted two sacks Danny Clark walked and Bill Lindsay scored Meusel with a single to center. Kid" Caton pasted one over first and Danny romped across, Bill taking third. It looked rosy for the Barons. but another hit, which would have tied the score. was missing.

Ellam fumbled Clarks grounder and Meusel counted. The other Baron run came in the second inning and tied the score. Danny Clark opened with a drive to center field that was good for three sacks. He scored when Kid Caton lifted ons over the drawn-in infieId.
 The Vols win over the Barons put them back in the leadership of the league, as the Pels were idle. The Vols now hold the lead by a half game.

Poor Playing Accounts For Another Loss
FOOD FOR RANDOM
Fly FRED BODEkER

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Barons were out tucked. Yesterday we were outplayed. The Vols exhibit ed some real classy ball. while the Barons were performing poorly, mak- ing errors and everything else imagin- able to help lose a ball game.
 To start off with, the Barons were due to win and should have done so. The Vols didn't outclass the Barons so awfully much. but Roy Ellam has his clan well instructed as to taking advantage of the opposing teams mis- plays. As the misplays with the Barons yesterday came thick and fast and almost every one aided the Vols materially.
 Preacher Perryman was called upon by Boss Moley to set the Ellam cian down in defeat in the final setto of the series and the parson used all of his efforts, but he or hardly no other pitcher couldn't have done so with such playing behind him. Although Perryman was touched for 10 safeties. only two were for extra sacks. He was taken from the fray in the eighth inning for a pinch hitter to enter the argument.
 The Vols went wild on the paths swiping seven sacks. Almost every sack that was stolen helped the Vols in adding a counter to their total. Two of the stolen bases came off Red Smith, while the remainder were of Mike Hauser.
 Red" had to retire from the battle in the second inning when a foul tip from Reilly's bat split the catchers middle digit It is the second time this season that Red has suffered an in- jury, the same finger received a rap in the final game of the series in New Orleans. Hauser caught the re- mainder of the fray. The injury will keep Red from the game for a couple of days.
 The Barons made a brave stab to win that game yesterday in the ninth

ROY TAYLOR GOES TO VISIT
HIS SWEETHEART; MARRIES
Goes to FredericktOwn for a Short
Visit With Miss Mile Hill and
Returns a Married Man.

When Roy Taylor, q son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Taylor, of Jackson, went
to Fredericktown, his friends did not
think it out of the ordinary, as it was
his custom to make weekend trips to
that city to call on his sweetheart,
Miss Mile Hill. But on this occasion
he had serious thoughts upon his mind
which terminated in his unexpected
marriage last Saturday. He induced
Miss Hill to see things his way and
when he returned to Jackson made
known to his relatives and friends
that he had taken unto himself a bride.
Mr.. Taylor attended Marvin College
at Fredericktown when a young man
and later worked there for a few
years. At present he is working with
his father in Osceola, Ark, in erecting
a church building. His father is a
we'll known contractor.
On his return to work in Arkansas
yesterday, young Taylor left his young
bride at the home of her parents in
Fredericktown. He is a prominent
young man and has many friends in
this city and Jackson.
