"A large force of workmen will begin work immediately and before game time Monday after room, the park will look no different than before the storm hit West End yesterday morning. except for the newness of the lumber with which the wrecked parts will be replaced'<
 This announcement should sound good to local fans A game played and won on the home lot is twice as in- teresting as one staged on foreign terr tory Local moguls should be congratulated on their willingness an | ability to take care of the crisis which has arisen.
 The storm yesterday morning wrecked practically all of that part Of the park constructed from wood The fences were blown down, while the wooden stands were practically de- rholished The concrete grandstand and bleachers weathered the storm all right, which has influenced owners of the park to the decision to construct concrete fence around the park at some future date.

NATURAL PLAYER

TRAINER NATURAL PLAYER The new comer is a raugy big fellow with a stride like Man-o War and an underhand peg to first that sends ball like d rifle shot. He looks to be exceed ingly fast and should prove winner in the Southern if he holds the pace he started
 The Barons, after rocking along in q matter of fact fashion for two rounds, put over a run in the third. It was still a good ball game until the seventh, but in that session the game turned into a slaughter and farce, with a wet field and slick ball making matters more lud- ferrous than ordinarily would have been the case.
 Considering the condition of the field the official scorer gave Baron batsmen ; the benefit of the doubt on several oc- casions when balls thrown % first were dropped or heaved little wide and this helped to run up the hit column, but 1t would have been crime to do other wise.
 Warmoth was jerked in the seventh after four hits and four runs had been sent across, and Bill Brown, another southpaw, went to his relief. Bill got along all rlS0I III LHlS IOulu put Idl lil J trouble in the next inning and the Barons registered two more runs and a half dozen hits off the eX-first-baseman. The Barons started hitting in the sec ond Clark doubling and Trayner beat ing out an infield hit, but they failed to tally
 STUFFY SCORES FIRST
 Their first score came over in the third. stewart opening with a double 70 right field. Emery popped out but Silva scored Stuffy with single The Vols were held well in check by Frenick dur ing the first four rounds, but in the fifth they knotted the count with two down. Kane drew pass and stole second. Jonnard beat out an infield hit War moth singled through second, scoring Kane with the tying run.
 Frenick cracked open the seventh with a single to center He was nlpped at second by Jonnard when Stewart dropped one near the plate. Frenick came in standing up Stewart was safe at first.
 LUCKY SEVENTH
 Emery hit slow one to Kane, which he beat out for single, but Kane heaved the ball wide and Stewart scored, Emery going to second on the play. Silva singled Emery going to third. Bernsen singled to center, scoring Emery and Silva. Clark cracked double to right. Bernsen counting. Here Brown relieved Warrnoth and instituted his stay in the box with base on balls to Allen and Trayner was safe on Bradley's err TOT He stole second but was left stranded when Gooch popped out to Knapp.
 Stewards triple and Emery's single counted the sixth Baron tally in the eight and a home run by Bernsen in the ninth finished the tallying for the visitors.
 Three bases on balls and a single by Knapp in the ninth accounted for two Vols runs, but the Barons were too far ahead for them to mean anything.

I Turfdom Wondering What Was Trouble
 In Big Racing War
By FAIRPLAY

Copyright. 1921. by The Age-Herald.>
 New York, April 16.-Now that the war between the New York Jockey club and the Maryland racing authorities ap- pears to have been averted through the action of J. K. l.. Ross in engaging new trainer for his stables, one wonders just what the real trouble has been with the former Ross trainer, H. G. BedweiI. AS a personal opinion, it would seem that the New York racing solons have again made the mistake of being too reticent fin the matter of giving reasons for their stand against the trainer. The belief seems to prevail--in the absence or any definite information--that Bedwell IS in the bad grace of the New Workers De- cause of an effort to obtain license for the ex-jockey, Carroll Shilling. II Bedwe1l had earned the right to favor why then it would not seem that the Ross trainer did anything heinous. Bu, if he did msbehave-why doesnt the Aaekey club come out and say so?
