 Barons, led by Bert Griffith, who has developed decidedly vicious tendency to lambast the ball all over the lot, proved too mach for Suggs in the first game. Parson Lankenau, who relieved Suggs upon his exit from the battle, fared little better. Evelen bingles We're collected off the Cracker mounds men in the first game.
 Bert Griffith was the undOubted
 star of this contest In addition to
 lamming out four hits oat of four
 times at bat, he drove in four of
 the seven runs, enough to win the
 game. He certainly had his bat
 ting eye trained on the offerings
 of the Cracker twfrIers.
 After the Crackers had scored a run in their part of the first inning on MayerS double, Boone's infield out and Highs sacrifice fly, the Barons came back strong in their part of the inning and put across three.
 Stewart led off with double to left but was forced at third by Stevenson. Barnhart flied out to center. Bernsen walked Griffith drove out a long double to center field and Stevenson and Bernsen scored. Griffith stole third. Hairston singled to center and Griffith scored. Coffindaffer struck out.
 PETERS TRIPLES TO CENTER The BaronS scored another one in the second when Peters trip1ed to deep center field and romped hom on Stew arts sacrifice fly, after Morrison had |grounded out to Mayer. Barnhart tripled to deep left to start the third. Bernsen grounded out, but Griffith scored Barney with a clean single to right
 Tn the fifth, with two down, Bern Sip oIp p6 nd eff nj got his third hit of the game, single to center and Bernsen scored. A description of the scoring attack of the Barons reads like book of the exploits of Sir Griffith, such a big part did he play in the defeat of the Crackers.
 The Crackers scored two in the eighth on singles by Mayer, Boone and Wingo.
 The Barons' last one was put across in the seventh, when Stewart singled, stole second, going to third when Powell threw vii dtrying to catch him going into the bag. Stevenson flew out, but Barnhart scored Stewart with a sacrifice fly to center.
 SECOND GAME Daniel Boone was hero of the second game. His twirling held the Barons in check and his stick work and base
 
 beat the Barons. Boone made a perfect batting record in the second game, making three hits out of three times at bat. He scored two runs and drove in two.
 Neither side scored until the third, when each one put across a run. The Crackers scored one on Boone's single, | Martins walk, a wild pitch by Glazner | and an infield out by High. The Barons' run in the third inning | came when. with two down. Stewart l and Stevenson were walked. Barnhart 1 singled to right and Stewart scored | stevenson was caught trying to reach | third on the hit.
 The Barons went into the lead in the i fourth inning, when Bernsen doubled | to left was sacrificed down by Grif- 1 fifth and scored when Kaufman threw | wild to the plate on Hairston's infield 1 tap. This was the last tally of the l Barons.
 In the fifth. G1azner went to pieces and three runs were made off him. Hager doubled to left, Boone tripled to center, Martin singled to left, Mayer sacrificed, High popped out, Wingo singled and Kaufman popped up. All four hits were clean and the three runs were earned.
 The last run of the game was scored by the Crackers when Damrau singled (exit MT. Glazner), was forced by Shee- han, who scored on Boone's double after Hager had grounded out.
 Both games were slow and uninter- esting, the winnign teams having lit- tie trouble in disposing of their op- ponents 1,
