Is covered with snow"
you've been pitching, they say,
for 20 years, wheninhell are you
going to blow?"
Instead Cf blowing, George McQuil-
Ian, the venerable Vol, thus far has
done nothing save blow bubbles-and

those Vols sneaked over a to l de-
cision against Joe Dunn's Barons.
Whitehill pitched considerable
baseball-with his arm. George Nc
Quillan, carrying 90 summers of slab
siderable baseball himself-with his
head The Baron boxman used a
sweeping curve. 1t snapped like the
Cracker on a blacksnake whip
around Bevo Lobo. who. on three APP
pearances, savagely swatted the at
.mosphere. Bob Murray was a strike
out victim twice, George McQuillan
swung--in every place but where
Lefty Whitehll threw the baseball.
The Baron finger, relying almost
solely on his wide hook. greatly
troubled those Vols.
But his mates were neither very
alert nor very adept in supporting the
fork-handed finger. Like as not,
they figured he was young and agile
and adept enough to tide himself
over the brary trail.
Macmillan Backed Well
George McQuillan was presented
with dazzling backing. His mates
were always present to hoist him up
yard when the pathway was full of
prickly pairs Not that George Nc
Quillan did not pitch no end of base
ball. He did indeed. But Pol Per-
rift, Bob Murray. Kiki Cuyler and
folks gave George McQuillan.
Down at third base this Polly Per-
rift came near to causing James
Hamilton to cancel all pending deals
for a hot corner custodian. He had
nine changes.
Bevo Lebo robbed Miller of
thump by headlong, tumbling, diving
catch which sent him spinning heels
over head The California gent stood
on his ear as he charged in almost
to the fringe of the infield, raced far
back to grab smash from White
hills club. In or out, 1t matters not
to Bevo Lebo.
Bob Murray handled nine chances
at second in flawless fashion. Some
were rugged chances. Some were
even more so.
Cuvler. by a gallant running clutch,
robbed Sumpter Clarke in the third
And his fine fielding and throw on
Danny Clark's wallop in the sixth
clabbered a Baron rally.

BnrOns Score One
Barons nicked George McQuillan
fer eight pokes All save two came
after two Barons were expunged
which largely nullifies the effective
ness of swats. After Neun bounced
that heated smash to third In the
second, he stole second when neither
Michales or Murray covered. a smash
for one bag to left field sent Neun
across Haley opened the Vols half
with a steamy single to center. He
reached sect nd when Bernsen rolled
to Neun. From that station he

Barons did more queer playing IN
the fifth, when the home folk re-
moved all doubt as to the outcome.
Bob Murray singled as starter.
Stewart crippled Richbourg's walltp
toward right He recovered the ball
in time to force Murray at second,
but Lance evened matters by pilfer-
ing the keystone. Whereupon, XXI
Cuyler unleashed his third hit, a
wallop to right for two satchels.
Barons caught Cuyler in trap. Had
him smothered. Bull Williams de-
