TN ACK in the days when the J6 horses were running around
 the ovals on the old Gravesend and Sheepshead Bay tracks in the New York district a negro walked into a Gotham pawnshop. He was Bill Give, a thoroughbred trainer.
 Laying down a split second watch, he said to Louie Harlem. the clerk:
 Loan me $50 on that boss"
 Harlem looked at the watch.
 Loan you S25.' he said.
 Boss, pleaded the durky, make it $50 please make it $50. I got to have that much money today

1t was rather a loose affair so far as ball games go.
 The field was slippery and so were the bats and other paraphernalia re- quired for the pastime. The pitchers were little loose with their offerings at times and quite muss of base hits and things cluttered up the box score.
 The majority of the said hits, 1t might be mentioned, showed on the Barons' side of the score book.
 Off to a lead the Vol forces were unable to hold what they had. Six of the hits and all four runs were gath cred off the delivery of Lefty Sigman before that gentleman gave way to a pinch hitter. In the sixth inning and Morrison, who succeeded him, was quite loathe to be charitable.
 MORRISON ARRIVES
 A single hit delivered by Rubber Catcher Jonnard was the only thing in the way of a wallop this Morrison turned loose.
 Looking over Moley's men, who were decidedly in a swatting humor, it will be seen that Messrs. Bernsen Steven son and Ellis were running a dead heat for swatting laurels when the fracas ended. Three wallops by each constituted their share of the after noon's stickmanship while Stuffy Stewart, Baron Keystoner, bagged a pair.
 They caught the idea from the Vols In Birmingham and must have solved tie combination on their trip north ward Thursday night
 <..e Barons scored their first run in the opener when Stewart singled, ad- vanced on an infield out and scored on Bernsen's single. The Vols tied the count when Ellam walked advanced on sacrifice and an infield out, and scored on a passed ball. Burke's dou- ble and Jonnard's single scored another for the Vols.
 THREE RUNS IN FOURTH
 Burke and Jonnard brought over an- other run in the fourth each. getting two sackers. A double by Wickham Tn the fifth followed by Ballinger's single made the vols final counter of the game.
 The Barons got busy in the fourth and put over three runs. Stevenson and Bernsen singled, and Steve scored on wild pitch. Pernsen scored when Ellis singled. Griffith flied out, Sum ma sacrificed, Peters was safe on An dersons boot, Sigman's single brought over Ellis
 Things rocked along until the eight, with the game being stopped twice during showers With the count knotted in that round. Ellis singled, ad- vanced on an infield out and scored on Morrisons single.
 Peters, who had walked. counted on Stewards one base rap
 Four more Baron tallies resulted in the ninth. Croll walked and Steyen- son singled. Bernsen sacrificed and Ellis singled. his rap scoring both run ners. Griffith grounded out and Summa walked. Ellis and Summa counted on Peters double. Morrison ended the Sound by popping to Ellam.
 The Vols failed to do anything des- perate in their half of the ninth and the fate of the game was sealed.
