Earl Whitehi|I Fails to Go Route in Opener, and Circuit Drive Proves Fatal to SuC- CeSSOr

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. April 1S.-I Special l.)-Bob Morrow caught Dan iels first offering in the Lookout half of the ninth inning this after noon at Andrews field, and sailed 1t over the left field fence, winning for Chattanooga a long drawn out, cratic. but exciting game from Bir- mingham, score A.. It was eminent ly fitting that Bob should be the gent to win the game, as it was his over throw of second which hoped over Schulte's head in center and gave Johnny Neun tieing run for the Barons in the eighth inning.
 The score was and 4 when Bob S homerun sent the crowd home re joiclng. The new stand and the old bleachers overflowed into the field, but the seating capacity is so much less than the old plant that the crowd was not much more than $500 people.
 Both Barons and Lookouts showed evidences that they have not been given favorable weather to get in condition. This was especially true of the pitchers. Fred Wingfield pitched beautiful baseball for Chat tanooga for four innings, but he grew very. very tired in the fifth, and gave way to Carl Guess, who, after having trouble weathering that in ming. was effective for the rest of the game. Meanwhile Earl White hill tried to start for the Barons and it was apparent almost from the first ball that he was not himself.
 Daniels Goes In.
 He base on balied himself to the dugout in the second inning. Dan lels. who succeeded him, permitted Wingfield to hit him for single, scoring two runs. and then Bates homer cost him two more in the third. After that, he breezed along fine. putting the first one over. the Lookouts taking it and giving him the edge on the hitters all the time When Morrow crossed him up on the system, the ball game went flooey for the Barons.
 Who were the heroes and who might have been the goats is indi- cated by the details of the game Miller got a hit for Birmingham in the first, but Tom Taylor bumped to Bates for twin massacre.
 In the last half. Whitehill passed Hindt. Miller made a manful effort for Leonard's drive in right center, but muffed it an inch from the ground. Trerry made quick recov- cry and got Leonard at second. Hindt took third but died there.
 Swamp Leonard In Run.
 In the second, for Birmins sham, Neuen was safe when Leonard kicked his easy grounder. Johnny Stole second. eluding Leonard's tag, after Morrow made a good throw. with two out, Sumpter Clark bombarded the left field fence. John Andy played a beauty carrom, getting the ball, on ba ba hn1dipp n L baser, but Neun scored In the last half of the second, Whitehill passed John Andy. Bates and Morrow in succession and was waved out by Manager Joe. Schulte failed but Wingfield smashed hot single past second and two runs counted.
 In the third inning, two down. Walsh threw low on John Andy, John taking second. Bates then poied one over the wall in left center for two counters. Wingfield was steady un- til the fifth, when he wilted. One down. Wash cracked a single off Wings leg. He took third on wild pitch that went into the Baron bench. Daniels and Miller waited for four | bad ones. filling the bases, Trefry | flying out, Guess relieved Wing and | passed Taylor, showing Walsh home, | then made a wild pitch on which | Daniels scored. Daniels Settles Down.
 Daniels pitched good baseball after the third. In the fifth, Leonard sin gled. Cy Andy sacrificed, Trefrey pulled Hauger's drive nearly off the right field wall, Leonard taking third but Leanord was out in neat at tempt to steal home. Robertson tagged quickly.
 Barons were on the hassocks in every inning and when they scored in the eighth there was much fore boding by home fans. one canned, Neun singled. He stole second Nor rows throw was high. Schulte ran into bacllup. his feet slipped from un- der him and as he sat down most ungracefully the ball hoped over his shoulder and went into the wilds of deep center. Johnny came all the way home. Then came the ninth and the finish.
