 Cracker Rally Falls Short

He DdI Ollo dCSolll lPiAoiiSN two big things yesterday. They defeated the Crackers in the opening game, 6 to 4, and they drove Tom Sheehan, ancient enemy of the locals, to the showers after seven innings of merciless bombardment.
 After the Barons had given Whitey Glazner. as much an enemy of the Crackers as Sheehan is of the Barons, a six-run lead, his infield blew up, which, combined with balk and two- -bagger. gave the Crackers four runs. This rally, although throwing a big scare into the ranks of local fans, proved to be the dying effort of the Crackers, as Glazner held them scoreless in the final inning.
 The first thre innings were we'll played by both sides. Tom Sheehan was pitching beautiful game, giving up no hits. In the fourth, however, the Barons got next to Tom for three Lifts and two runs.
 Tn the sixth and seventh stanzas, seven hits were coined into fohr more runs. giving the Barons total of six. Then, in the eighth, the blow off ca ne. and the Crackers came within two runs of tying the score.
 BARONS MAKE II HITS
 The Barons made eleven hits off Sheehan. Bernsen got two long two- baggers, each of which drove in 'uns. Stevenson and Glazner each got a two- base hit and a single Barnhart got three clean hits. Hairston and Hearndon each got clean two-pagger.
 Glazner held the Crackers to six hits, in only one inning, the seventh, more than one bingle being made off him.
 Fast fielding by both sides featured, although six errors were made. Two successive plays by Barnhart and Glaz- r~- ere especially interesting.
