 The winning streak of the Titan haired Mir. Lucas went glimmering Saturday afternoon at Redwood. And at the same time the losing streak of Mike Eberhard also faded into insig- nif1canoa For be 1t known, the aforesaid Lucas failed in his attempt to put over seven consecutive Wins and thereby tie the record held by big Phil Morrison. He of the certse hairsuite, who works in the delivery department for the Nashville ball club, had won six consecutive ball games before he brayed the. Baron bombardment in the weekend strug- gle. But his effort to make It seven was a fizzle. The Barons won the game, b-2.
 Mike in Form
 Mike Eberhard, on the other paw, turned in one of the most creditable ball games pitched by Baron hurler this year. For nine innings he held the Vols, and allowed but three safe wallops One of these was a three bagger. however, which came after two men had received gift bases and it netted the two tallies appear ing at the end of the Vol total.
 Some 5000 or 1000 rabid fans had assembled to witness double header, but the clements double crossed 'em. With practically every seat in the park filled the fans had settled back to see the Barons take the second game when something happened. It is said from authentic sources that three-fourths of the we1l-known world is water. We'll, 1t looked like the entire three-fourths had assem- bisd in sieve-like clouds coming from tho northwest. The lightning flashed the wind swept the diamond with a regular sand storm and the umps wore forced to call halt fully 15 minutes before the actual water be- gan to fall.
 All Set for Another
 Mofoy's men were all set for a dUubie victory. too. when the rair Epoiied things. At the start of the second Stuffy had booted ono witt one down and Emery had sent him tc second on an infield out. Burke then ora shed one to left, which netted the Vols an unearned run.
 The Barons then came in for theil half and Stuffy beat out an infield hit to third. Neun forced him al second. going safe on a fildr's choic Ozark also grounded out. pitcher tc nrst. but Tommy Taylor. wearing tn, wicked looking black bat on hi, shoulder, came up and plastered on, 0ver the walls in right for a homer Tommy>s mighty waliop jared a crate or 30 of assorted lightning, thunder and wind from the skies. and play was stopped because of sand storm. and darkness. Fifteen minutes wenl by and no rain fell. Then the bottom dropped out and something of a Gal. vestonian nature swept tho field,
 The First Game
 But beating back to the first EemA which after all Is the only one that counts for anything, 1t was a ptppfng from start to finish The genial Mike got into as much trouble as a bad penman going fin for forgery on one or two occasions but he squirmed out with grace O an eel. And by this squirming pro- cess he managed to shake the jin1 that has been camping on his trail and incidentally help the Barons win the first series for some time. Sat urday's victory gave 'em two out of three games with the Vols.
 With an air of confidence the high-flying Lucas tied the rubber at
 
 two innings he turned the Barons back in nifty shape. Ebbie was do- ing the same thing. In the third however, after two men had been retired, the Barons. with the aid of the usually reliable Chick Knaupp hopped away to two-run lead With two gone Stuffy got his sec ond single of the game in as many times up. He immediately went to second, cranking up the palms of his feet for a clean steal. Neun then hit a roller to Knaupp and Chick played soccer with it. This placed Stewart on third and Neun on first. Clarke's immaculate single to right brought Stuffy across the plate with the first tally of the battle and Tommy Taylor caught Emery playing against the fence and poked a single just over third, which scored Neun. With two on Harry Harper tried to break the jinx and get hit. but the effort was fail ure. Harry going out pitcher tc first.
 Silva Cuts Up
 Eberhard set the Vols down ir one-two-three order in the first ot the fourth. He had done this fof four innings, only twelve men hay ing faced him. Then the Barons came in and Doc Silva proceeded to pull some stuff reminiscent of Ty Cobb. Doc went from first to third on a bunt in this frame Silva wa. first up and he was hit on the digits by. a pitched ball. Burkett buntet and beat the throw to first. Silva never stopping. Weere whipped the ball to third but Silva's wonderful speed had carried him safely to the bag. Claude Robertson. who has been hitting innumerable line drives into the hands of fielders of late cracked a safety in to left and Silva registered Burkett taking second He went over to third on a passed ball, and artchored there while Eber- hard was grounding out second tf first Stuffy deStew then hoisted long sacrifice fly to Emery ant Burkett came home. Neun shile- lah1ahed single to right and Mo Cormick pulled one of the pretties plays of the game. He whipped th' bali with perfect aim on a line fo the plate and Robertson was touchei for the out.
 It was in the firth that the three up-and-t three down business cease
