nv HEyRY VANCE


 Before Fridays game between the Lookouts and Barons. which the lat ter won by a 54 score. started, In- fielders Wight and Wlngfield, of the Chattanooga club, put on a little ifs. fight on the field. which gathered momentum before the lads fisticaily inclined could be separated. It was a rough and tumble bout, from which Wingfield emerged with gore smeared face. Wight having landed a couple of blood bringers, the other Noogans rushed in and separated the men, Rick Woodward. impromptu referee, holding up Wights right paw, signifying that the ex-Tulaner had won the scrap.
 Wingfield, bleeding from the mush like freshly slaughtered beef, went to the dugout where he again en- countered Wight. Wingfield alleged that others had held him while Wight had hit him. Wight in rebuttal. sug- Rested that no one was then holding Wfngfield, whereupon Wingy frothed at the mouth some more.
 s1n get you tonight" shouted Wingfield
 fGet me now,' urged Wight.
 Everything Settled
 T will" said Wingy as he selected a bat from the pile and started to- wards his tormentor. The bat was jerked from his hand, the police swooped down on the dugout and further hostilities were prevented by the strong arm of the law. Wing field, after washing his gore-ladea face. which delayed the start of the game for a few minutes, took hia place in the Chattanooga lineup, and the thing blew over as If nothing had happened.
 Wight, following the game, ex- piained his side of the case. He said that in fielding practice he had thrown a ball wildly to first, Wing. field critising the throw. One word brought on another and Wight ai- leges that on the next ball Wlngfield received. he chunked 1t at him. This started the rukus, which lasted for several minutes. "Wingfield is al- ways making threats" said Wight after the game and while l do not expect the trouble to be- renewed. if he starts something, I'll punch him again."
 Bnrons Punchless
 The fight was so good and the game was so uninteresting that fans may petition the management to stage smother before today's double- header, just to pep things up. The Barons won but only at the insts- tence of Chattanooga. Birmingham was punclless in the pinches. hay ing grand total of 15 men left on bases, and the four Chattanooga miscues aided materially in giving the locals their five runs.
 The games biggest feature was the fact that stump Clarke went after a hit-by -pitched-b ball record, but was cut down in u e attempt by the um- ciein hif hX a pitched ball in the second inning, again in the fourth and twice In the sixth. Umpire Guthrie refusing to give him his base on either of the two latter occasions. claiming. that Stump was getting hit purposely.

 In the second inning the fans got a thrill. stewart singled and went 10 third on Harpers safety. Harper stole second. With the windup of the pitcher, Stewart dashed for home and was called safc at the plate. The 'Nooga catcher. Kress, noticed that Stuffy had failed to touch the plate. so he took the ball, ran all the way over to the Baron's bench and tagged Stuffy as he was reach ing for drink. The umpire called him out.
