New Nashville Pitcher Is Sent To The Showers In The
 Third Inning By Stewards
 SIuggers

NASHVILLE, Jly 22.-(Specla)- James A. Hamilton did everything to collect the odd engagement from the Barons yesterday save invent meth cd of making more markers than the Stewart stable. He used pinch hit ters, pinch pitchers, pinch catchers, pinch runners, pinch right fielders but was never able to pinch off the needed counters and the Vols went back to their Sunday form of twelve months back, dropping the decision, to 4.
 The expensive Mir. Stubby Mack lasted only three frames. Barons picked up five counters during that period. A bad throw to nip Dutch Brausen' bad judgment in tossing to the plate on Squeeze play and a brace of doubles forced him into re. tirement.
 Minnie" Minstree came along and baffled the Barons. He did not cost those Vols a sou; Stubby Mack cost the White Sox twenty-five grand.
 Along in the closing stages of the affair those fools began to peck away al Walter Stewart and his southpaw slants. They melted a rally in the eighth after two gents were down. Patrick Haley got aboard via a single and chicken" hawks was drafted to run for him. Minnie Minstree stepped aside to allow Tony Faeth to swing the timber in his behalf A pair vols were aboard. Tony Faeth punched towering fly to right field. Then Pol Ferrit flung the final frame in stylish manner, never allowed Baron to reach first
 Barons Gets Breaks.
 Not a break in the battle went to the Vols. 'Tis said a fighting club makes it's own breaks. 'Taint so, for those Vols fit 'em. A sneaky, trick ling. fluky single sent over the first marker against Stubby Mac. He him self exploded terrific punch in far away left center and logged around to third. Some folks buzZed unkindly over his dog trot stride. They were wrong. MT. Mack was right faster sprinting of course might and like ly would have netted a home run but the expensive sharpshooter probably was trying to conserve his strength for the ball rather than waste it in a hustle, which was perfectly proper.
 Two cents were always in the Morgue when those Vols skinned off a run never was any cream for the Hamilton folks. They were churning Blue John" for Butler. This Walter Stewart is quite left handed hurl- CT. Quite so. But for that stolen station in the third frame and a frayed specimen of judgment Mir. Mack would have seen no troop of Baron tallies in the third. A double by Neun with two out in the second and a sickly poke by Lucky" Hart ford in it's wake, gave the foe a thin run in the second. Then Dutch" Brausen opened the third with a one bagger to left. Pat Haley's peg was poor and he was safe at the Key stone. Miller sacrificed his boss along, Robertson dumped a squeeze hrry, t1 nfo h pao d to the dish. but Stewart was easily across. Then Clarke and Goebel doubled In hot secession. Neun lined viciously to Graft and Hartford rolled weakly to Michales.
 Vols Open Up.
 Vols assailed Walter Stewart as if they would rout him. Dick Wade smote a terrific jolt to left and re- ported when Cuyler battered one to the right center dump. But the next two Vols could not help.
 Frederick Graff strolled in the sec ond and after Haley Whiffed pulled a Stewart, but Mack whaled a mighty jolt to left field dump. Bob Murray famed.
 "Kikf Cuyler drew a pass in the third and reached second when Pol Perritt singled to center. Then. much to the disgust of Flip Neun, the bril- liant Vol fly chaser swiped third But Freddie left him stranded when he swung in futile manner. Dutch Bernsen wiped out all memory of his toss to the plate when he fired a pro- digious slam to left in the fifth which hopped blithely into the negro bleachers and then skipped over into the smoke grandstand. Gosh. what a maui that No. 10 four -baser was Minstree drew walk to open the seventh. but none of his mates could advance him. After Bernsen and Per ritt had popped out In the eighth those Vols melted an uprising against Walter Stewart and left the home swat order in snarled status.
 Freddie Graf once more drew free transportation, and Pat Haley slashe eC a single to left. Jewel Michaels layeo scampered across. Goebel played the ball perfectly, broke 1t down and nelc Haley at second. Thereupon came An thony Faeth to club for Minatree. but could not hoist the pellet far enough on the dump.
 Bob Murray made a great peg tc Pat Haley to break up double stea in the seventh. Those Barons are fleet-footed folks. They swiped six stations in the past two combats, ano they won both. Throws must be per feet to nip them.
 In Eddie Goebel the Barons have g perfect center fielder. He has killed off more base hits for those Vols than there are enemies of Bil Guthrie.
