probably would have been good for three bases The limiting of three of these
 swats, by Carroll and McLarry in the seventh and Blades in the eighth, went against the Chicks, for each might have
 been triple, and McLarry's especially, productive of more runs. It is doubtful if either of the doubles credited the
 Barons could have been stretched into triple. and certain that one by Grf- filth in the second inning, which counted two Baron scores, would have been an easy out.
 Again the "breaks'' with the Barons
 were evident in the eighth inning, when | Blades opened with a drive over Grif- fith's head in center. Blades was ad- l vanced from second to third by a sacri- flee Vance hit a hot one which caromed | off Sigman s glove Into Croll's hand and | Vance was thrown out at first.

 1 "Dazzy'' Vance, of the tribal troupe, outpitched Joe Coffndaffer of the Baron- 1 ial troupe by wide margin. Each al lowed seven hits. Vance struck out eight
 men and did not issue a base balls while Coffindaffer struck out but two
 and gave seven bases balls The Chicks were hitting Coffindaffer so terit- ficly in the seventh that his Baronial highness Carleton Molesworth, substi- tuted Lefty Sigman for Joe.
 Coffindaffer's wildness helped the
 I Chicks to a one-run lead in the first.
 Carroll walked, was sacrificed to second
 and went to third when Coffindaffer
 threw wildly to catch him off second.
 Sloan walked Carroll scored when Grif-
 fin forced Sloan. Mister Meells meekly
 stepped back into the crowd and reach

 third out.
 The Barons helped themselves to a
 pair in the second. Ellis singled and
 scored when Griffith dropped high fly into the crowd in left field. It wouic have been an easy out. Griffith scored when Croll dropped one back of first | just inside fair territory.
 The Chicks tied it in the third but Mis- ter Meells grasped their chances fol taking the lead. Lewis doubled to lef and scored on Sloan's single to center Lewis went to second on the play fol Sloan.
