As the rain progressed, the hordes of fans huddled under awnings and had the appearance of so many bedraggled rats. They were cold, too, and they shivered.

Spectators may sit In perfect comfort while the chal- lenger and champion may battle with more comfort. if there Is comfort to be found in battle.

The Vols displayed a decidedly vl- cious tendency to hit the ball hard when they did hit it. A pair of home runs by Bogart and Smith netted the Vols a couple of runs while three punched bingles in the third inning netted them another. In the fifth inning & walk and a two-bagger netted them their fourth. This was the sum total of their hitting end scoring, for Phil Morrison let the Vols down with only six hits, every one of which counted for runs.
 Warmoth, who. when he pitched against the Barons here on the Vols last visit to Slagtown, was as wild as all Atlantic City home brewers will probably be tonight, was in excellent form yesterday. His control was ex- cellent. and he walked only two r1en. He struck out six of the Barons, and had it not been for punched hits in three innings would have been winner.
 Phil in Form
 Phil Morrison had only one really bad inning, the third, when three hits were punched off him. In the others, he held the Vols down. The scoring of the visitors was scattered over four innings.
 To start the game with, young Ed die Bogart. who is playing center field for the Vols on this trip, crashed into one for a clean homer, the pellet sailing over the right-field boards, probably pulling up somewhere on hn n nf stopped that soon.
 Phil let the next three men down in order, and the Barons advanced for their try at bat
 Stewart was an easy out, Morse to Brown, but Emery was walked, and imm ediately showed his appreciation by swiping second base. Morse threw Traynor's grounder to the right field bleachers and all hands went safe. Emery at third and Traynor at second. Bernsen then did the ex- pected. and singled cleanly to right sending both runners home. Bernie went to second on the throw-in, and scored when Silva singled to center after Taylor had flied out to right field. The Barons took the field two runs to the good, when Doc" was caught trying to steal second.
 Vols Bis Frame
 The Vols were still showing signs of life, and in the third inning did tkeir most damage, punching three hits for a tally. Smith led off with a safe Jingle, but was forced at sec- oud by Warmoth. Bogart singled through second and Warmoth took second. Morse singled to right and Warmoth scored when Gooch dropped Silva's thu ow to the plate to catch Warmoth. Then. with Bogart on tnird and Morse on second, Morrison struck out Frierson and Stellbauer grounded weakly to the pitchers box for the third out.
 In the fifth the Barons and Vols swapped runs. For the Vols, Smith started off with an out but War moth was v alked and went to third on Bogart's double to center. War moth scored on Morse's grounder, the throw to catch Warmoth at the plate coming a brlle late. Frierson popped up to Traynor and Bogart was caught off third on a fake play to catch Morse going to second.
 Barons Score Again
