 FOR VOLS OVER BARONS IN. I12TH WITH LONG SINGLES.
Both Teams Fritter Away Many Chances To Score. Goebel And CuyIer Play Great Ball In The Field

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 2o.-(spe- cial.)-'Twas quite a torrid finish down wonder in the dell yesterday afternoon after the Barons had staged a steamy rally in two frames and run abreast of those Vols. The Vols won in the twelfth, , to 1, or Michaels' single. his steal and Mur- rays double. Both rivals frittered away numerous tallying chances or rather no end of queer kinks spoiled run making opportunities.
 Those Vols appeared to be cer- tain winners in the ninth when Frederick Graft opened with a sin gle only to be caught in twin kill ing as MichaelS' lined into Clark $ hands. "Dutch" Bernsen and Chick en' Hawks singled in succession in the eleventh inning. There was considerable too-doo while James Hamilton subpoenaed Lefty" ONeill to gallop for Captaln Bernsen, but notnInS came of all the fuss since neithe" Graff nor Eiffert could help.
 Looked as if the Barons would col l"' counter in the eighth when Edward Goebel exploded a two -baser. out George McQuillan, stepped on the gas, and Flip Neun was called out on strikes, while Bruce Hartford popped weakly to Turk Eiffert and Bob Murray tossed out Red Bates.
 'Ntu i'alcS W dS pllCHlHS TOT the other side, in his usual long and lanky fashion. Some folk contend that Red Bates locks like Jack Keefe, but he doesn't. He looks like Jack keefe's roommate.
 Many Thrills.
 There was no end of sparkling fielding, hefty hammering, double deaths, twisted line-ups and the like sprayed over this lantern league combat. "Kiki" Cuyler and Edward Goebel fetched up for inspect tic n pair of very unexpected clutches. Most centerfielders would have been oheered for five minutes had they stopped either punch on the second bounce. The gloved hand grab by ''Kiki" Cuyler saved marker for Eddie Goebel had bounced a single off Fred Graff's glove and swiped second. But for the fact that pro- fanity is not permitted on the ball lot Bruce Hartford would have cussed like ''our soldiers in Elan ders," or soldiers any place else.
 Eddie Goebel, out in center, was as busy as a drummer in a jazz band. He collected nine putCuts racing up the hillside once to rob d Vol and then later spearing a Texas leaguer back of second. after Stuffy Stewart had failed to get under it. It was T1drNelouS STdD.
 Barons made three double plays on those Vols. once plotting out Bob Murray al the dish in the first round Eddie Goebel almost doubled Fred Graf after his amazing catch but instead belted the eX-TraVeler on the spine.
 .iernscn Hits Ninth Homer.
 Captain Dutch Bernsen enrolled his ninth home run when he jolted the first ball Red" Bates pitched over the palisades and toured the bases alone. He worked a double steal with Freddie Graf to make another marker and computed a pair of blazing singles. Chicken Hawks as legs for Dutch, while Pat Haley donned the windpad and Turk Eff fert went to the dump. This Eff fert gent caught in gallant fashion. He cut down Brausen with a wonder heave in the eleventh and broke up a double steal in the seventh chok Ting off fleet Stuffy Stewart, whC was the sultan of swat for the day. The Baron boss raked George Me Quillan for four safe wallops and got life on his other visit when Fred Graff booted his punch.
 Both the venerable Vol boxman and Red" Bates were shelled in bit ter Style. BOtn allOWeQ .1Ourteen pokes and only fancy sprays of fielding whttled down the count.
 Vols staked George to a two run lead on singles by Hawks, Eiffert and Michaels a walk to McQuillan and Bob Murray's long sacrifice fly.
 The Barons gathered a run in the third on Graff's boot of Stewart poke and a slashing double to left by Jake Miller. Dutch Bernsen's homer made 1t 3-1 for the Vols, but the Barons snarled the figures in the fifth on double down the third base line by Brausen, Stewards sin gle, another by Miller and a perfectly executed squeeze play. Wade made q fine catch on Stump Clarke to end it all.
 The Vols united it in the sixth when Dutch Bernsen singled through the box and was sacrificed. Graff's hot single sent him to third. The pan of vets worked the twin theft ol lawn Vann.
 Then the Stewart people made it all square again. Brausen bounced hit over McQuillan and Stewart singled past Graff. Vann singled tt center and the Baron third-sackei counted.
