Getting Morry's Goat

Getting Morry's Goat
 Uncle Wash tells me that credit for the great Vol rally should be attributed to Johnny Frierson a substitute player. Uncle Wash says that Johnny was on the third base coaching line and started up a conversation with Phil at the start of the final frame.
 "You're a fine hunk of cheese, you are" said MT. Frierson in thoroughly audible tone.
 Phil made the grave mistake Of hearing, and seeking to shine as a repartee artist. T seem to be getting by" Phil smiled serenely.
 You might be getting by. but you ought to be in the bushes" jeered Frierson.
 Maybe that's so, but l aint sub player on runner-up to a tail-end club" grinned Worry
 That's just what Frieson had sought-to divert Phips attention from the business of pitching ball. And once away from the subject at hand, he went up in the air like the Singer building, once the Vols had found him for a couple of hits, and never came back to earth until the Vols had scored seven runs off his delivery and uop the hall game
 Baron Supporters Get Scare
 Those faithful local supporters who have been figuring all along that the Barons have a chance to beat Memphis out of the pennant got the scare of their young lives Saturday afternoon, when it looked for time like Dutch Bernsen, the main fence-buster Q of the outfit. might be out of the game for the remainder of the season with broken arm.
 Dutch had been forced to run with all his might to beat out an infield hit in the sixth. When Dutch beats one out, you might know he's strained a couple of tendons in so doing. With his force spent. he stumbled across first base, and his spikes caught in the canvas. He was thrown over on his side and he lay there motionless for fully minute. It looked like Dutch had surely suf- fered a broken arm. His mates crowded around him. and the fans -,in the stands craned their necks. Then Dutch pulled himself to his feet and wabbled to first base. A mighty cheer arose from the stands. old Dutch Cleanser was ready to be up and at 'em again. With the arm still paining him greatly, he came to bat ~in the eighth and whacked out his dozenth homer of the campaign
 Bernie and Pug Allen are wag- ing a bitter battle for home run honors of the league this season. Just when 1t looks like Pugnacio Is about to slip one over and catch up with his mate. Bernie comes through with parked ap- pie. Pug has been in hitting slump for some time, but he broke through the rut Friday and slammed out a homer. He came right back in the second inning of the Saturday game and got another. This made the count 10 for Pug and II for Bernie. It was too close for comfort, so Old Dutch Cleanser slammed one over the walls himself in the eighth. making it an even dozen home run blows for the season.
 
 Chick Bolsters Team
 Regardless of the fact that they are hopelessly out of the present flag chase. and nestling next to the cellar, the Vols are going right ahead bolstering their club. It looks like J. A. c. Sloan and company are satisfied with the showing Knaupp has made since relieving Hub Perdue. of the man agement. and are making their plans to keep Chick on the pay roll next season.
 Knaupp announced the release of Pitcher Wade. the Indian. Sat- urday, and also stated that he
