 The game was filled with thrills, a triple steal by the Vols in the sew enth being one of the features. Harry Harper was robbed three times of base hits, Chick Knaupp stabbing one off his bat, Shag Thompson going to centerfield to get his drive another time and Mike Burke mak- ing the third theft.
 Vols Score Early.
 The Vols gave early signs of being dangerous. Thompson drew a pass as an opener. With an easy double play in sight both Thompson and Emery were safe when Krehmeyer dropped Burkett's toss to second after Morse had been called out on strikes. Mike Burke crashed a long double to the centerfield dump, scoring both runners.
 In the second, Fuhrey opened with clean single to left. After Morrow had advanced him with an infield out and Fields had famed, Fuhrey scored on Thompson's single. Thomp- son stole second, but Morse flied out.
 The third Vol tally resulted in the fourth. Emery opening with a base on balls. Burke sacrificed him a peg. We're got a hit to short and Knaupp counted Emery when he sin- gled to left. Fuhrey singled, but with the bases full, Morrow's swing barely tipped the ball, which rolled in front of the plate and made pos sible a double play, retiring the side.
 Another in Fifth.
 In the fifth, pair of singles put over another. With one down. Burke hit safely to center for one base' and We're followed with a looping drive over Krehmeyer's head, Burke going to third. Burke scored on Knaupp's infield hit.
 In the seventh, Hap Morse liter ally plucked a score away from the Barons. The third saeker had gained a life on a one-base knock to cen ter. Emery went out, but Burke ad- vanced to third when he hit his sec- ond double of the game, long drive to left. We're filled the bases when he walked. Knaupp popped out. With Fuhrey at the bat, Morse made A break for the plate. arriving safe ly with the score, Burke and Morse also moving up and completing a triple steal. Fuhrey famed mo- ment later.
 The Barons never had chance. Robertson singled in the second ana advanced on a passed ball, but kreh- meyer famed and Burkett grounded 10 the box. In the third with one down Bates got an infield single. Silva went out but Clarke doubled to the dump, Bates being held at third. Thompson then made his wonderful stumbling catch, saving two scores and retiring the side
