Whitey Badly Beaten, While Stump CIarke'S Three Bagger Only Real Damage Done Minnatree

NASHVILLE. Tenn, July 19.-(spe- ciaL L)-Strange people are those Vols-very, very singular In fact, abroad they are pigmies. At home they are giants. Back today, they battered the Barons some to z They whittled Earl Whitehill down until he was about as high as the boiler room of the Lusitania. The Hamilton people treated Earl White hill as if he were d rookie rubber man, instead of being the sultan of southpaws Being at home makes those Vols very, very vicious.
 Minnie Minatree, a semf-pro per ,cn opposed, ,, the celebrated ios Mir, si same shat it was like putting Gene r.qu: in the ring with Jack Demp- feS Alter the combat ended, they we're NtIng to vote for the Uni .l.resident. MT. Whitehill learned ,,oou, pitching from the semi-pro party who started his first Dixie engagement Heretofore he has been used as relief slabber. Today Min iie Minatree flung seven stanzas before d tuke triple by Stump Clarke pushed two tallies across.
 Nh;tcs Kit Hard,
 Vols, both of the left and right L4Hded Vallety, attacked Earl White Ai,I very, very saVagely. In fact, t.4eig treatment was almost uncouth. p.Ck Wade who swung in his GUS lomary left-handed fashion, pestered -Ir. Whitenili mUst. lie Clubbed two sIngles and a tNin-header. Dick N ade is the gent who replaced BeVo Lebo. Who admitted that Earl White hill cUtHG toss up his cap and make him Wh:ff. If Bevo Lebo had even known today that MT WhitehiIl was tur!inS in the league, he could never have compiled that triple in Little Rock.
 Patrick Haley, after a very pro- ionged absence with fractured fin ger tip, inserted four baser into the box score when he discovered a hole between the scoreboard and the sign in left field. Earl Whitehill started his unhappy afternoon by issuing d pass to Robert Murray. Seven other Vols faced him in that frame. Wade defeated an intended sacrifice which slipped through Neun's glove and Murray skipped to third. He was snuffed out at the plate by Hartford when he attempted to score on Guy ler's tap. Dutch Bernsen almost tore WhitehilPs fin off with slashing blow, and the Hassocks were loaded. Thereupon, without ado, Polly Per ritt, subbing for Chicken Hawks in right field, hanged two-sacker to right center and Messrs. Wade and Cuyler galloped across. Frederick Graft walked, again stuffing the pill lows. Dutch Bernsen counted while Stuffy Stewart was tossing out Pat Haley.

 Vols Continue Scoring.
 The Vols were hitless in the next frame, but Dutch Bernsen exploded a terrific slam to left center in the third He applied whip and lash and spurs and slid safely into third. Pol Perritt hoisted a towering fly which Stuffy Stewart and Jake Miller both insisted on taking. They could never reach an agreement about it, and the thing fell safe, while Captain Bernsen counted.
 Kiki Cuyler got aboard in the fifth on poke which troubled Hartford and after two gents were down sWiped second. Flip Neun went dowr to see how the trick was done. Fred erick Graft punched a one bagger tc center and Cuyler rushed over.
 With two out in the sixth, Bol Murray bounced a single through the box and Dick Wade Whaled a one- bagger to right. Both gents reported when killt Cuyler hammered a heated lWo-sacker to right field.
 Brausen made a wonderful stop ot Bernsen's slashing drive, but nailed him at first. Singles by Stewart and l5rausen and Clarke's triple gave the ljarOHS two in the cighth
