 against double pneumonia as Big Phil
 Morrison Thursday afternoon. for the
 Baronial B<g Bertha was as right as
 an ApriI/rain or an Arizona sun. Phil
 of zbeautiful ball game. and the Vols inhpersonated a school of fish. With 1 the Baronial giant holding the oppo- l sition to four hits. and keeping as
 calm as the Dead sea when ragged support threatened to gum the game, the Moleys won Thursdays ball game,
 5-S, and evened the count against the Vols. Both clubs grabbed the rat tier Thursday night for Sulphur Dell, where they resume hostilities today. l As In the opener. the Volunteers
 came from behind in the second game of the season, and it locked for 1 time like they might win the bail game, for Tommy Galla agher, crafty at times in the art of pitching was using every deception known to the pitching department. Tommy was | a mething unusual for l right-hander; was switching now | anu tAtH tO d Ndil @sAaAS S1giAAoA AHS special, and mixing 'em up in every | sort of fashion In an effort to win.
 Tommy, the cast off, would have given his right eye and left ear to have won that ball game, but the fates answered nay.
 Burkett Wins Game
 Howard Burkett, Baronial short
 smith. who hasn't yet oDliterated the excitement of the first game from his system, and Is wont to chunk wildly to first, won the ball game for the Barons Tn the eighth inning. Up un- ' til that eventful square the san guinary battle was a 5-3 deadlock.
 Tommy Taylor opened the pot with an infield hit in the eighth and Rob- ertson elected to sacrifice. Catcher Morrow, however, attempted to peg
 Taylor out at second and both men went safe. They moved over to third and second when Krehmyer dumped down a sacrifice and went out third 1 to first Jesse then ambled to the plate and caught one of Gallagher's l fast ones for a safe blow to right, l making sncond on the drive while Taylor and Robertson scored. Thfs made the count 5-3 in Birmingham favor, and that's the final answer. Neun flied out to center and Morr:
 son popped up to second, closing out l the frame.
 Barons Score In First
 Moley's men started off the first frame like they might make a dozen
 or so million. Phil had put the enemy down in one, two. three order when the Barons came in for their half of the first. Silva led off with an in- | field hit and Stump Clarke cracked
 one to center. Harry Harper's bud
 geon conr ected safe y for single to right and Silva spiked the plate
 for the first run of the day. With 1 three consecutive singles to start 1 things 1t looked like Gallagher would ] fall victim of an April shower. and i Manager Doyle sent out another hur- | Ter to warm up.
 Sensational nelding at this stage | of the game saved Gallagher. Tommy
 Taylor snashed line drive to right and Shag Thompson came tearing in
 on the ball. He pulled pretty jack knife into the turf, but held the ball l tightly. It was the prettiest eaten | of the game, and of all the applause greeting this bit of work. Tommy Taylor didn't clap once. Robertson then cracked one between second and third that Chick Knaupp scratched out of the dirt without any license whatever to dc so, and tossed the ball to first for a put-out.
 Phirs Worst Frame
 | Phil suffered his worst inning when tho Vols came up to start the second. They tallied couple of runs and took the lead. Mike Burke start ed the dirty work with blow to left
 and We're worked Worry for a pass I to first. Knaupps single to right l placed transportation for Burke to ride home with the tying score. Fuhrys best was a grounder be- | tween second and first, which Kreh- myer smothered, tossing Knaupp out at second Morrow then crashed a l one-ply larrup to lift and We're | came home with the second tally. Gallagher tapped one to the inield and Fuhry was caught in chase be- tween second and third. Gallagher going safe. Thompson's contribution
 was a weak pop to Burkett and the side was retired.
 1 Already possessing a one-run lead | the Vols added another to their total in the first of the third. when with one down. Emery beat out an infield hit to short and took second on Bur | ketts miserable peg to first. Spoke
 then cranked up the palms of his feet for clean steal of third. Nor rison pitched carefully to the hard l hitting Mike Burke and a base on balls was the result. We're hit a grounder to first and Neun seemed l lost on the play, after a neat pick | up. He failed to try for Emery go- ! ing home, and contented himself by touching first for a put out Knaupp hit hot one to short, which Burkett scooped with wonderful one-hand stab, and was out at first for the end of the inning. That marked the
 final tally of the Vols.
 Another Baron Tally
 The home talent crept to within one ot the Vols in their half of the third. Harry Harper led off with his
 second bingle of the day. Tommy Taylor crashed out one of the longest | flies ever seen at Redwood It was l almost against the left-field walls, but Emery went went back for 1t
 and converted 1t into a put-out by l a brilliant catch. Harper then stole l second. and continued over to third on Morrow's wild peg. He scored a
 moment later when Chick Knaupp booted Robertson's grounder. Kreh- | myer struck out and Burkett was I an infield victim.
 MoIey's men tied it up in the fourth l and the count remained knotted until l the rally in the eighth, which sent I across two scores and won the game. 1 Neun led off the fourth with an im- i maculate single to left, was sacri- I feed to second, and stole third. I Si1va's best was a weak pop 10 second. but Stump Clarke followsd d
 with his second hit of the game and
 Neun registered with the tying tally.
