Preacher Perryman started the twlrl- ing duties for the Barons and was hlt hard from the start The parson lacked effectiveness, but managed to escape without being scored upon, due to excel lent support by his teammates. When the explosion came, however, Perryman and the Barons' inner and outer de- lenses collapsed at the same time and the victorious march of the hllamltes was easy.
 BLACK TO RESCUE
 Moley dispatched Karl Black, the Barons' portwheeler, to the scene after the Vols had scored two runs, had the bases full and two balls on Ray O Brien, the batter Karl couldn't dispose of Ray successfully, but he handled the remainder of the crew from the Tennes- see capitol without much difficulty. The Vols didn't score on Blackie again.
 Although the portwheeer was holding the Vols in check, the local aggregation was doing all in their power to break through the Vols defense, but Ellis was too strong and the Barons were gradually thrown back. Ellis was greatly assisted in his work by Manager Ellam, whose costly errors gave the Barons the lead in the fourth inning For three innings the Barons didn't touch Bill Ellis, Three men were up and three men would go down. In the fourth after one man was down. the steady procession of outs was dlscon- tinued Bill Southworth bunted down the third base line and beat it out. A moment later he stole second. Cecil Coombs hit grounder to Ellam, and he threw wild to third, attempting to catch Southy The speedy Baron gardener scored and Cecil took second
