 IN AWARDING HITS
Hartford Hits Homer
 With Bases Full In S Seventh Inning

Whitewashed clean as snow were the pitching sins of Kenneth Jones yesterday, when the slim young George town alumnus performed the sleight- of-hand mysteries essential to keeping the home plate uncrossed. Numerous grimes the Barons have perpetrated aately in the name of baseball were al son partially atoned for when they went on swat spree and hammered in nine runs to beat the LOokouts by an 9 to o score.
 Not only that, Bruce Hartford hit q home run! Bruce Hartford hit a home run with the bases full :! Bruce Hartford hit homerun with the bases full after the press box had predicted 1t!
 Pretty Mound Duel
 Jones and Bud Hankins, the meat less, boneful property of the Washing ton Senators, had engaged in a mon etonously pretty hurling duel for seven frames when the caps climax, as goes the saying of the streets, was reached. Hartford's walk and Pop Robertson's s triple to right, which Crossley trans formed from a single when he over ran it, had upset Hankins in the fifth and he had upset himself still more in the sixth when his balk contributed an- ether marker to the BarOns' cause. Stewart opened this inning with smashing double to left, Rhode went out, Stuffy going to third and after Jeanes popped up on the squeeze play, Etuffy dashed down the line rowling at the top of his voice. This boorish behavior so lilly coincided with MT. Hankins' notions of proper Washing ton drawing room manners that he stopped his wind-up and gazed with a gently reproving look toward the local manager. Then he decided that the Birmingham gentleman must be at tempting to score an illegitimate run, but when he finally threw the bali, it was all over.
 'Noogans Still In
 It was yet considerable of ball game, however, and when Hankins got by the seventh without trouble, nobody would have given or taken odds on the Barons. Then the nethermost deeps of Hades were, very probably shaken, for the Barons staged big inning. One of those old-fashioned, pennant-winning John McGraw innings-and it netted seven runs.
 Stewart walked. Rhode swatted one. At the same time, almost, he swatted Al Niehaus and the ball bounc- ed off the Lookout's shins for a single. Stuffy took third, having swiped sec ond in the meantime. Jeanes succeeded on the squeeze this time, laying one down and beating it out, Stewart SCOT ing. Camp laid down another one and was safe when Hankins' throw was bad. Brenner walked, forcing in Jeanes. And then Hartford mashed a lined over short. I: rolled down the groove, and tben rolled some more. When 1t got hack to the infield, four runs had scored. Robertson and Brausen then added another unneeded one when John Andersor's misjudgment gave Robby a triple, and Pete singled to left.
 Jones Fills Expectations
 Ks1neth Jones finally lived up to his IoakEa .,Jones has all year looked the part of h good hurler. His work We'd neadnv demonstrated that he has every prospect of making first-class Southern league pitcher, despite several crudities.

He had allowed two hits up to the eighth. Crossley opened with one then, but Jones worked out of what promised to be one of those com promising situations. With two gone in the ninth, John Anderson and Nie- haus singled on lobs, but it meant nothing. Outside that frame, none of the bingles were concentrated in a sin gle inning.
 Hartford Stars
 Hartford, in addition to rapping his first circuit wallop of the year, con tinued his magnificent fielding. His play was excellent on nasty pilgarlics from the bats of John Anderson and Niehaus in the seventh and fourth in nings, respectively. Camp likewise pulled down two hard chances in cen ter. In fact the rearranged local out field looked quite the thing, all of them doing we'll. Rhode smashed into the grandstand in the fourth trying for a foul, but it just eluded his fingers. Bobby also had hard luck at the bat, for he fouled terrible drive over the fence in the first by few feet.
 Dixie CarroIs pretty stop and throw to kill Rhode trying to go from first to third on Jeanes single in the first was the only feature of the Lookout fielding. J. D. Anderson, Husky back stop for Nicklin, suffered a split finger in the sixth and Kress had to De sub stituted.
 Olsen Vs. WingReId
 Art Olsen and Wingfeld are the probable fingers today and an interest ing battle is in prospect. Olsen has been going at a fast clip all season, while Wingfeld is pitching for another hig league trial. with excellent chances
