Singles by Mccormick, Emery and Knaupp and base on balls to Burke pulled the trick. That made the count ll=3 in Birmingham's favor, but the To- cal talent went on another hitting streak in the last of the fifth and ran their total to fifteen.

Neun slapped the first ball pitched behind the palings in right for q circuit smash. and gripped Moley's outstretched paw after he sauntered to the dugout.
 Can't Dodge Habit
 Big Phil had let up purposely, and now it had got to be habit with him. He allowed the Vols to send across two more tallies in their half of the sixth and this ran their total to five.

 The Barons were weary of hoof by this time and failed to connect for a blow or a run in their half of the sixth and in the seventh the Vols came back with two more. A base on balls to Knaupp, and singles by Fuhry and Morrow pulled the trick. This made the battle stand 15-7. and the Barons were remembering that the ninth inning won't do to tamper with, proceeded to add a couple moro before they were satisfied with the days work. This made it 17-7, and Phil was still as uncertain as work at Muscle Shoals. He lost all esmblanee of control in the eighth, walking Emery and Burke. tho first two men to face him, and pinking We're in the slats with a pitched ball. This loaded the bases and Knaupp's sacrifice fly to left brought one home. A single by Furry and an error by Stuffy brought in couple more and made the marking apparatus read: Bir- ming IT.

He tossed four wide ones to Emery and he walked. 1t was four bases on balls and one hit batter for one and one-third innings for big Phil. Moley applied the hook and sent Bill Statham to the mound. Bill started off by walking the next batter, and three Vols were on by virtue of three comps. Red Bates started out to warm up. Werr hit to Stewart. Stuffy tossed to Bur/-E at second, who in turn threw to first for double play, and the game was over. the fans heaving a sigh of relief.
