FIVE VOL HURLERS ARE
 UNABLE TO HOLD JOE DUNNS MEN IN CHECK
Flip Neun Leads In Slaughter With Five Hits Danny Clark Gets Four Including Two Triples

WI tI iHiSS
 Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys were marching. Steadier than Mag
 ara falls poured the stream of pitch
 CTS to and from the mound at the
 Wood, and steadier than the fall of the drops of water of that giant cas-
 cade rained the base hits over the
 greensward at Redwood. When the
 faucet had been turned off, five Vol
 pitchers had been mutilated, and Joe Dunns Barons were the heartless
 winners, by a score of 19 to s.
 Tramp, tramp, tramp, they are probably marching this morning.
 The parade of the wooden soldiers
 would compare not at all with the
 march of the Vols back to Nashville,
 if Proxy Sloan had his way. Jimmy
 Hamilton would beat the big bass
 drum and every Vol would keep
 goosestep time, if the Vol mogul had
 his way and really made em walk
 back to Nashville. After that ex-
 hibition at Redwood Saturday, PreXy
 Sloan would be justified in doing
 anything with that ball club.
 10 Runs. 21 Hits.
 A total of 19 runs and 21 hits was
 the harvest of the evening for tho
 Barons. It was another one of those
 studies in twilight for the sparroWs
 that fit to and fro beneath the beams
 of the Srandstand had perched oil
 their roosts. and tucked their heads
 beneath their wings when the final Put-out was made.
 The cry of the night-brds all but drowned out the voice of the umpire,
 as he droned out the strikes and balls, for they were out in full force before that game was over. Two hours and half of pastimng sent the
 fans home to cold suppers around o'clock, and pestered sport scribes to 1 their offices, their score books full
 of ugly uneXplainable black marks, their thoughts full of malice toward
 any guy who will use five pitchers
 ill one ball game, and any nine guys W no will make 21 hits and 19 runs in one game. It was an afternoon in
 which all fans delight. and about which all sporting editors have nightmares the remainder of their lives.
 OutficIders On Mound
 It would be an impossible task to go into detail over such game. It is enough to say that Vol pitchers Davis Smith, Gillenwater and Harris proved entirely inadequate Tor the occasion, and an outfielder, Polly Porritt. was called in to finish on the slaughter block. And finish he d:d-or finished he was-for their last time at bat, the Barons slashed out eight hits and scored seven runs aided pv an error and some bone
 round out their afternoon.
 The Barons began In the secont inning, scoring a couple of runs, and kept it up until the very last. Of their 19 runs, 3 were earned, which shows that Dunn's men had their batting specs on little bit, even IT the Vol hurlers didn't have their specs on Hamilton's pitchers walked II men during the fray, wild pitched. time or two and hit batter to round out thei rafternoon.
 It was a great day for batters. and a hard one for pitchers. Johnny Neuh led in the fracas with five bingles, While Danny Clark had four, includ- ing two three baggers, and White hill and Miller had three each. Guy Ter. the Vols centerfield flash. had four hits to his credit, including q home run and two bagger.
 The Vols and Barons each shipped out of town Saturday night, the Ba- rcns to Chattanooga to play a dou- ble header Sunday.

 From the very first the dark clouds that heralded the approach of a baseball storm had the appearance of a funnel, and they did not lie, for | it was a genuine cyclone that burse over Redwood park. The Vols l hopped right into the delivery Of
 Earl Whitehih in the first inniI.ss for three clean hits and three runs. | Whitey was wabbling, but Joe Dunn let him stay, and the little Baron southpaw eventually won out Davis. the first of a long list of Npl Inn ] and this. coupled with Danny Clark's | first triple, a luscious single by Jake Miller and an error by the shortstop spelled finish for Davis. Smith went h. but the storm continued to rage
 in the third when Smith walked three men, and Danny Clark got an other triple and Neun a wallop to center for one bag. That scored three runs for the Barons and gave them | a total of six.
 Previously. in their half of the
 third, Corgan had singled for the Vols. and came on in coat tails | length ahead of the speedy Ter. Guy
 Ter, Vol center fielder. who hit q home run to the left field wall. It
 was a long wallop and Cuyler made
 the circuit in a fraction less than
 nothing flat.
 i The Vols were held scorless until
 the eighth. when three clean singles sent across run. In the ninth the NolS SedSeu Illldl sDdSlnOulc Tdlly | before the demise. Haley tripled, Le- | Bourvcau singled and d little later
 on Cuyler tripled. That let in the
 final two runs scored by the Vols, giving them eight for the afternoon.
 Parade Really Begins. It was in the fifth that the pitch- CTS parade really got started Smith, who had fared badly in the third, was in trouble again in the fiftl, and, after walking q couple of men I ana allowing another to single, he paraoed out of the box, and MT. Gill lcnwater paraded in. Gille pitched
 to Stump Clark, who came through | with single to- right that scored
 two mef,. Out paraded ar. Gillen- water, and in went MT. Harris, fourth of the house of Vol Chunkerdom. l Harris managed to retire the side with no further damage, and the Barons total was registered at eight. | Harris managed to last until the middle of the sixth, when Pol Per- ritt was called in from left to the mound, and LeBourveau sent to the gardens. To start the sixth. Danny Clark, Neun and Miller singled In succession, and the big bass drum boomed aloud as the parade con- tinued on it's way. Out went Harris,
 and in went Perritt. Though the drum continued to boom in dull and angry defiance throughout the re- mainder of the contest, the mangled and bruised form of Pol Serritt strove vainly to stem the tide Of runs and base hits, and Pol finished the game. After Perritt relieved Harris, a couple of walks, q single and a wild pitch were added to the three previous singles, and four runs l crossed the platter, and the totals read eight runs for the Barons at the end of the sixth.
