STEWART WALKS NV RUN THAT BEATS DUNNERS N THE ELEVENTH, 6 TO 5
Morrow Hits Home Run That Ties Score In Ninth Frame. Second Game Stopped In Fourth

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn April 22.- (SpeciaD aD-Chattanooga and BirminG ham battled Il uninteresting innings of baseball here this afternoon before Pitcher Stewart forced across the run which gave Chattanooga a 6-5 victory over the old jinxes from Baronville. The game signalized the second entry of Bob Morrow into the Lookout hall of fame, when in the ninth inning. with the Barons two runs ahead and Manager Nunamaker perehed on first by virtue of a base on balls, Bob smashed the ball over left field fence, tying the score. It was the second time this season that Bob has acted as exeeutiener of Baron hopes.
 An effort was made to play the scheduled second game, but Tex Er- win called it off midway of the third inning on account of darkness, whereupon ensued rush on the part of Joe Dunn and several Barons pro- testing that it was light enough to play many innings. It would have been possible to have played a short time longer but Tex evidently judged that it would be impossible to get in an inning and half, and therefore all play time would be wasted. Fail ure to finish the game saved a wran- gle before PreXy Martin, as Manager Nunamaker was playing under pro- test In the BaronS half of the fourth Danny Clark sent a long drive into the right field crowd. There was ground rule in use. Hauger strug gled for the ball in the crowd and then thinking the ground rule would apply the home athletes played il earelessly on the relay Clark was allowed d home run. The impassioned discussion which followed resulted in d narrow escape from exile on the part of the home manager and a sufficient delay to prevent five in- nines being played.
 It wasn't much Of ball game as lar as class went. but it made up for what it lacked in polish in excite ment. Poor pitching caused most of the trouble, Baron boXmen passing men. Recital of the details will reveal the crucial situations.
 The Lookouts were off to a three run lead in the second. John Andy singled, stole second and took third on Nunamaker's out. Schulte was patient and was rewarded when Wingfield sailed long fly to left center, on which Clark and Miller seemed to get their signals crossed. but the ball fell safe for two sacker and J. Andy and Schulte scored. Hindt strolled and after Wingfield stole third neatly, Leonard registered him with smack to right fer cushion.

Robertson was hit. but Sumter Clark grounded out. Wing lost his grip again in the fifth when the old ball game seemed to go slipping. One out. Miller, Neun and Robertse Il hit in d row, Hobbies hit counting Miller. Neun and Robbie pulled a double steal and then Sumter Clark walked, filling the sacks. Morrison popped out. but Trefry waited for a pass. forcing Neun in. This decided Nunamaker on Wingfield and Gun ningham went in. Hartford flied out to deep right.
 Tayler opened the sixth off Gun ningham with smash over the wall. but after that George assumed con trol of the enemy and they were never really dangerous again. Phil Morrison also steadied down after the first two when he seemed on the point of blowing for keeps.
 His two-run lead seemed safe as old a;braltar until the ninth, when he started by passing Nunamaker. Morrow went in to pinch hit and clouted over the wall. Cunningham went out Joe Dunn, seeing a pair of southpaw hitters coming up, jerked Morrison here in spite of em- phatic gestulations of indignation on the part of the pitcher. Stewart walked, Hndt and Leonard hit him for d single, but he managed to pull cut. The southpaW also emerged un- Scathed from tempeStuouS tenth and he might have done the same in the eleventh had he been able to cover after he gave an intentional pass. Charley Leonard opened the closing stanza with his third single. Cy An tod httt tnr fitNey al Stewards throw, Hindt reaching third Hauger grounded out. John Anderson was purposely walked, Bates hit to Taylor, who extinguished Leonard at the plate, but Stewart lost the plate on Nunamaker and forced in ly with the winning marker.
