With the breaks of the game again defeat in the third game of the series with the NashviIIe Vols yesterday aft ernoon at RickwOOd Field by the count of to 3. Everything favored the Vols aud Roy EIiam and his bunch took advantage and rolled up an early lead which proved sufficient to cop the battle.
 The game was wierd exhibition of baseball as the case in the previous two games of the series. The Vols, though outplaycd, managed to shove across win, due to the BarOns' gen erosity in the first two innings of the contest. Karl Black. the lone Baron southpaw, got bad start as usual, but the game progressed he grew stronger and the Vols were never dan gerous after the second inning. when they counted three runs-enough to win the game.
 Floyd Kroh, the star southpaw of the Ellam crew, was in fine form and had the usual jinx on the Barons Kroh gave up 10 hits and was lucky to es- cape with a win. Fast fielding saved him in many cases while poor base running on the part of the Barons also materially helped him to get a win.
 The Vols scored in the first on Will hams infield hit, Sheehan's sacrifice, Blacks error and Kores' single. Three more were added in the next session on Streets single Kroh's sacrifice, Blacks error, a passed ball which allowed two runs to score and Carroll's huff of Ba- ker's long fly. The Vols never threat ened again although they touched Blackie for seven more hits.
 The Barons' first counter came in the third on Carrolrs single and McDon- aids triple, which should have been home run. Another was added in the fourth on Meuseis and CIark's doubles, while the third and last run was made in the fifth on Carrolls hit and steal of second and Red" Smiths smash to center.
 Numerous opportunities faced the barons but another counter couldn't be showed across Meusel and Carroll led the Barons' hitters with two blows each, while Caton starred in the field.
