 Tom Sheehan tended to the hurting drties for the Crackers and made very good job of it. He was nacked for 1s hits, but they were well scat tered over the If innings. He had sverything on the ball and also pos eessed that very estimable trait of his. control. He deserved to win before the res-ular nine innings was com nleted. but the Crackers on several oc- casions were unable to come through at the ~croociar' moment.
 Young Morrison was on the hiAl TOT the Barons and pitched very nice game. taking rything into consid- eration. He exhibited a good hop on his fast ball and a sharp breakin curve. It was a pitching battle de lrxe until the final session, when ne weakened and two hits and wild pitch told the tale.
 The Crackers started off with rush and scored>o one run in the very first inning. Reed drew a base on balls On the hit and run, Damrau was our, Webb to Bernsen, and Reed took third on the play. Herndon, next man up, sent a long ballooner to Duncan and Reed counted
 The Barons tied it up in their half of the second. Bernsen, leading off. beat out a hit to short Ellis sent him to third with a timer to left after Webb and Fisher had gone out and Peters had been purposely passed to get at Morrison, the latter singled sharply and Bernsen counted
 The Crackers second run was scored in the fourth. Herndon, first up. went out from short to first Mayer cracked a single to left and when Ellis toyed with the ball he took second. On Grif- fms double to left sammy crossed the pan.

Tom Sheehan beat out a hit to short, and when Nor risoar uncurked 8 wild pitch, he went te second. All eyes were turned expectantly to Reed as he approached the plate ane tb<> mob was not to be disappointed Mil ton saw one that took his fancy anS damned 1t to center, scoring Sneenan after which everything was over

 Tn the seventh, Stevenson made beau tfful stop of a sizzler off Ganoways pa and forced Griffin at second
 Williams, who was umpiring the bases was sadly off color, and missed severa decisions. Hairston, who was called sai at second by Williams, scored momen later. There seemed to be but little douo thai Hairston was easily out, but VII Hams ruled otherwise, and he's the ooc tor.
