 steady game, holding the Vols
 helpless until he had secure safe
 lead. Bill Ellis was on the mound
 for the EIlamites and for four in-
 nings had the Barons guessing.
 The Vols would have been shutout had Homer Haworth, the stocky Baron re- ceiver, played his standard game Homer made a couple of costly pebbles, one which failed to check a rally and the second allowing tally to be marked. The two runs, however, were not suf- ficient for Bill Ellis to hurl the Vols to ! win.
 Ellis received perfect support from 1is teammates. He was slightly wild at times and when he did curve the ball over the plate, some Baron batter gave it long run. Of the nine hits collected off Ellis delivery, three were triples

In the eighth the big gardener came through with another single with Coombs on second.
