N<S''PhiSf Oiih.t <2 pt H oUs--N0pt- cial.)-Philip Morrison, he of the blond hair. right arm and curve ball specie of pitcher, was one of the eight reasons why the Baronial ham defeated the Chickasaw cham pions of our town this afternoon. Seven Baronial batsmen were the other seven reasons. The score was 5 to 1. Sumter Clarke. left fielding Baron, was the only one of the wis., itors who did not take one or more punches at two Chickasaw pitchers.
 However, the figures prevaricate to some extent, and that was as to the closeness of the game The Chicks clung on until the ninth inning, when the Barons made three of their scores by the medium of five straight hits off Larry Benton. who had succeeded Zeke Lohman. starting the fourth round.
 Both Score Early
 Both teams scored in the first round. The Barons scored again in the third, and the game rocked along until the eighth, when the Chicks evidently lost hope, after a golden opportunity to take the lead Then came the ninth and three scores the Barons did not need at all. The game furnished pretty batting duel between a pair of Tommy's. Taylor, third baseman of the Barons, and McMillan, shortstop of the chicks.
 Tommy of the Barons secured threa hits bia fret fbraa ttr,ao bat. his collection including triple and & pair of doubles. However, his second double, scoring Silva, was his only hit that figured in the scoring
 Tommy of the Chicks secured a double and two singles his first three times. but neither hit figured in the scoring. Tommy opened two innings with singles but did not re- ceive any help from his mates.
 MOrry Settles Down
 After the fourth inning, Philip of the right arm and curve ball settled down to the business of pitching and pitched unbeatable ball. However, up to the fourth Morrison several times threatened to blow" In the last five innings he gave up but one hit. 4 Stewart set off the matinee with a double. He went to third on Silva's bunt and scored when Jimmy Burke backed up against the center field wall and took Harper's hectic drive. Burke made no effort to hold Stew art. and there wasn't any use. Taylor then tripled, but Clarke was an in- field out.
 Chiclks Lone Score
 Seven Chicks faced Morrison in the first round that ended with three Chicks on the paths. With one out, McMillan doubled. Tutweiler was safe when Stewart erred on his grounder McLarry walked, filling the bases. Yockey forced McMillan at the plate on grounder to Morrison. Webb singled past short. scoring Tutweiler, but Critz struck out.
 The Barons kept after Lehman in the second and third and scored in the third. when, with one out, Silva singled. stole second and later scored on Taylor's double.
 The Barons and Chicks threatened numerous times thereafter, but Ben ton and Morrison pitched themselves out of bad predicaments. A double play. Stewart to Burkett to Neun, halted the Chicks in the seventh. With one out in the eighth, McLarry walked, and there was much rejoic- ing among the fans. There was still more whooping and shouting when messed up Yockey's ground CT. McLarry went to third when Webb forced Yockey. Webb set out for second. Robertson feinted throw to second. then caught Mo- Larry flatfooted several feet off third base, and there was calm among the fans, but much whooping and bowling by Chief Abbott of the Tribe.
 The ninth apparently crushed all hopes of the Chicks. A triple by Neun, followed by singles by Burkett. Robertson, Morrison and Stewart took all the life there was left out of the party.
 Both teams fielded well and espe- cially the inner works.
